Costigan WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 (JP) Senator Costigan told a senate committee today that nothing short of government help coul provide necessary relief for the -unemployed.

Hodson estimated there are 800,000 unemployed in New York City alone.

"The spectre of starvation faces millions of people," he said, "who have never before known what it to be put out of a Job or what it meant to be up against Hodson estimated the 250,000 families and unattached persons in New York were either in need or were receiving some kind of assistance.

Harding, will break a silence of eight years to tell his story of what went on behind the scenes in the Harding administration. In a book, "The Inside Story of the Harding Tragedy," the lifelong friend of the former president will give his version of the Ohio gang," and "draw the veil from the so-called mystery" of Harding's death. The book, in which he collaborated with Thomas Dixon, will be off the press in about three weeks. Daugherty said the book will refute Nan Britten's claim that Harding was the father of her daughter, relate the incidents that resulted in President Coolidge's demand for his own resignation, tell what he terms the true story of Albert B. Fall, Charles R.

Forbes, Thomas W. Miller and Roxie Stimson; and give the facts of Jess Smith's death. He will set forth his "anly reason" for destroying the ledger sheets of the Midland National Bank and explode "a few of the fables about Harding's nomination," he said. In an. introduction he will explain that he kept silent among other reasons because he wished to see President Hoover dedicate the Harding memorial at Marion, and did not wish to discuss Fall's case until the courts had disposed of it.

SMALL TOWN FOLKS WICKED, TOO, HE SAYS CHICAGO, Dec. 28.

2P--Folks in the small towns are just as wicked as they are in the big cities, in the expressed opinion of Albert Blumenthal of the faculty of the University of Chicago. After three years of study as a sociologist he says he has come to the conclusion that the only way the morality of the small town differs from the congested areas is in its rusticity. This was revealed in a previe of a thesis to be published Jai uary 5 under the title "Sma Town Stuff." Among other things the writi saya the village maiden no longi wears a starched petticoat and blush, and she is more likely to found in a roadhouse on Sunda evenings dancing to the tune of big city orchestra brought in radio than she is to be present a church meeting. CANNONREPLIES TO fflS ACCUSERS Charges Senate Brokers With Unfairness and Slip-Shod Methods WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.

-Bishop James Cannon has continued his custom of giving back word for word to his accusers and critics by charging the senate campaign funds investigating committee with unfairness and slip shod methods. The Southern Methodist churchman is under indictment on charges of violating the election laws in 1928. He said this prevented him from answering the committee's report in detail. However, he added it was in order for him to point out that the committee was in error in asserting there was no separately organized committee of anti-Smith Democrats in Virginia in 1928. The investigators of the committee, he said, could have easily diacovered that fact if "they had expended one tithe the money anc time they expended on my, purely personal affairs." The churchman also said the committee's conclusion that the money contributed to the anti- Smith committee which he headed amounted to $130,000 was incorrect.

They duplicated accounts to reach that figure, he asserted and indulged in "purely unwarrantec speculation." The crux of the committee report was that Bishop Cannon violated the election laws in reporting only 517,000 of the money he collected to use against The indictment against him grew out of similar charges. Plis reply to the committee was that he spent the remainder of the money he collected in Virginia and was under no obligation to repor it. SALISBURY Mrs. Homer Mrs. H.
