Romberger. Addressing the directors at their opening session last night, Governor Pinchot said "your traditional task of caring for the sick, the mentally ill and the aged has become heavier." He pointed out that since their 1931 meeting, when he addressed them, unemployment had increased from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent, of the able-bodied workers, private family relief sources had been drained dry, almshouse populations had grown, and the State has been called in to aid, with funds and personnel, in helping the needy. "The times call for co-ordination of all available talents and resources, the submerging of all private and political jealousies and differences, so that all the forces of Pennsylvania may unite in one great effort to save millions of our people from suffering not only from suffering now, but from the long drawn effects of that suffering upon children, especially throughout the remainder of their lives," Pinchot said. Speaking at the same session, Justice John W. Kephart, of the State Supreme Court, criticised the State Emergency Relief Board, headed by Pinchot, for its "red tape" and for refusing to provide funds for the expenses of administering relief.

Kephart said the State relief act did not forbid the use of the money in meeting relief board ex- Mrs. Harvey jr. smitn is cnairman of the educational department and after hearing the director's speech the said "the only thing we fear is that the Board is usurping the powers of the superintendent." The women asked time and again for the speaker's opinion of where the superintendent's authority ends and where the Board's begins, but some women, at least, were not sure that the answers were responsive. Robinson said that although he has been charged at times with being the leader of the Board or trying to run the Board, "I am no educator. I am a business man."

Senator L. J. Dickinson, Republican, Iowa, Chicago convention keynoter, arranged to board the special train during an operating stop at Englewood, 111., early to day. Governor Turner, of Iowa, and a party of Republican leaders were to join the presidential train at Rock Island, 111. Arriving at Des Moines in mid-afternoon, the President, and Mrs.

Hoover were to be escorted in a large parade to the governor's mansion where they were to have dinner. The main address was to begin at 7.30 p. m. Because of confidential estimates indicating the possibility that Iowa, along with other farm belt states may turn to Governor Roosevelt this year, Iowa Republican leaders prepared a friendly setting for President Hoover's first out-of-town campaign appearance. Hundreds of Republicans from Iowa, his home state, and nearby states were assembled by special train, bus and private automobile.

Most of the country's radio facilities were engaged for the night address. President Hoover was still working on his address on the train today. It was understood to be a summation of his work at Washington largely. With some attention given to the farm mortgage situation. A mimeograph machine was set up on the train.

Copies of the address were being run off in sections before Hoover had finished his manuscript. Reception at Altoona Members of the President's party were pleased with the reception he received at Altoona. The customary silk hat and cutaway of a President on tour have been discarded for this trip. President Hoover wore the every-day sack suit and ordinary fedora when he left Washington. In his luggage were oil-skin slickers added to the wardrobe on reports of rain at Des Moines.

Mrs. Hoover wore a tan traveling suit and brown hat. The usual dignitaries and prominent friends, also were absent. Hoover had a strictly "working crew" to aid him. It included Walter H.

Newton, his political secretary; Theodore G. Joslin, his press secretary; Dr. Joel T. White House physician; Mildred Hall, Mrs. Hoover's social and Miss Ann Shanky, White House stenographer.

Fewer than 100 persons met the train at Harrisburg, but the crowd was enthusiastic. The President posed for pictures but did not make a platform speech. Mrs. Hoover appeared with him. At Altoona, Mrs.

Hoover noticed that many children were in the crowd. "A whole lot of little girls and boys are right, down here in the crowd," she cautioned the men closest the platform. "I ask you men and women not to push please, when the train starts. Look out for the children." Missionary Society Will Celebrate Anniversary D. Detweiler.

Social Workers Close Meeting With Addresses Three speakers discussed the need of uniformity in administering relief iunas ana tne diincuities to be overcome in welfare campaigns in the next year at the closing dinner-meeting of the Pennsylvania Conference on Social Welfare last night in the Penn-Harris Hotel. Twelve round-table discussions attended by more than 300 persons and a luncheon meeting with the Harrisburg Rotary Club were included in yesterday's conference activities. Relief methods of a year ago when all problems were handled by the administration of local funds and improved means of relief brought about by the enactment of the two Talbot relief bills and the creation of the State Emergency Relief Board were reviewed by Mrs.

Helen Glenn Tyson, assistant deputy Secretary of Welfare, and Edwin D. Sollenberger, former secretary of the Children's Aid Society of Pennsylvania. "Conditions are improving and employment always lags behind business recovery," Elwood Street community chest director in Washington, the third sneaker, said. He urged welfare workers to "talk success and work for success," in their coming campaigns. International News Service WELLSBORO, Oct.

4. Stanley Kendrick, 22, and his brother, Ralph, today were held under $1000 bail each for court in connection with the fatal shooting of their neighbor, Mrs. Gene Welsh, 40, of Mainsburg. Mrs. Welsh met instant death when she was struck by a stray bullet while standing in the doorway of her home.

The slug penetrated her brain. The Kendrick brothers were shooting targets with a high-powered rifle nearby, according to police. They came to Wellsboro voluntarily and reported the shooting to the sheriff's office, police said. Administrator Files Suit Here for $546 Maurice Cottingham, Londonderry Township, administrator of the estate of Clarence Cottingham, late of Swatara Township, filed suit in the Dauphin County Court late yesterday to recover $546.25 from Herman P. Hoover, Hummelstown, for damages to an automobile, which resulted in a collision along the William Penn Highway at Rutherford, March 30.

Driver Held to Blame Michael Leber, Sixth street, near Wiconisco, was held responsible by a coroner's jury at City Hall this morning for an accident that resulted in the death of Robert Ray Wolfe, 5. of 616 Granite street, August 19. The child was fatally injured when struck by an automobile operated by Leber near Sixth and Kelker streets. POOR DIRECTORS RESENT SYSTEM From Page One lent work in administering this fund we are relieved of the responsibility of handling the new relief fund." Boards Carried Burden Clare declared that the Lloyd Committee in Philadelphia had exhausted its funds in three weeks and that other welfare agencies had similarly broken down, but the Poor Board continued to carry the burden of relief. Councilman Richard S.

Harris, of Philadelphia, made a plea for continued administration of relief money by local bodies. "It is the man who sees eye to eye with his neighbor who knows the relief needs of his community," he said. M. S. Bentz, Cambria County superintendent of schools, outlined methods of co-operation between school systems and social agencies in determining the relief needs of the community and administering aid.

Pointing to the need of "wise administration of relief so as to preserve the self-respect of those receiving aid and bring back the character of dependents into the fold of good citizenship, he warned that "if we are not very careful we will develop a great group of beggars America. The philosophy of all almsgiving, he said, should be to help the handicapped to become self-supporting. He stressed also that the needs rather than the wants should be considered in providing relief. "Present wants of most people are far beyond their necessities," he said. Bentz said the school system, as demonstrated in Cambria County, can be employed very effectively in determining the relief needs of the community and in helping to alleviate them.

Teachers, he said, can check on the health and mental alertness of pupils as well as their clothing needs. Truant officers can help to determine conditions in the home and to collect supplies for the needy. Food can be collected, stored and preserved under school auspices and the schoolhouses used to feed adults as well as children. Shoes could be collected and re paired by the unemployed and others in need of work could repair school property. Clothing could be made under the auspices of parent-teacher organizations.

The operations of tha Philadelphia School Service Exchange in preventing duplication of effort by relief agencies and eliminating the unworthy were outlined by the director, Miss Luella Harlin. She said that because the funds of public relief agencies comes from taxes imposed on all classes, these bodies should operate at the highest efficiency and recommended that they utilize social service exchanges where they exist These exchanges, she explained, have card indices listing cases handled by all the relief agencies in the community, so that it can be learned in a few minutes what agencies are caring for a particu lar case. Harry E. Wagner, of Erie, and David Barbanell, Lancaster, both told of savings made in their com munities by the wholesale purchase of food for relief. F.

PLAN FOR COAL TRUCK WEIGHING From Page One load and he would be provided weigh bills in duplicate so he could furnish one to a customer. The city would get fifteen cents of the fee and the scale owner ten cents. If a trucker made more than one delivery from one truck load, that is, split a five-ton load among five customers, he would be compelled to reweigh the load after each of the first four deliveries. For each such reweighing an extra fee of five cents would be charged. Fewer Men Employed Mahlon R.

Miller, speaking with Henry Fink, Howard Fry and Frank J. Wallis, for the Coal Ex change, revealed that the established coal dealers employed 126 men in- 1928 and have only fifty- 1 1 7 I seven employed mis year, ne saia the permanent dealers pay the city $35,403 in taxes, that tho railroads pay on eight coal yards owned by the railroads and that the itiner ant truckers pay little or nothing. When Fry asserted that some truckers are selling coal by meas ure instead of weight, as the law requires, Mayor Hoverter told of having seen a trucker last night peddling coal from door to door. H. H.

Garrigues, general superin tendent of the Eastern Division of the Pennsy, with offices here, said he spoke as a citizen rather than as a Pennsy representative. He believes adoption of the proposed ordinance would be a step in the direction of necessary regulations of motor vehicles. John Garverick, speaking as a Brotherhood representative, declared Councilmanic action would be a move, however small, to get men back to work. Joseph Klinedinst, of the Reading Company, said that 75 per cent, of his company's business through Harrisburg in recent years has been on coaL He also declared that, while the Reading had 2000 men on the payrolls several years ago, the number now is around 1100. He blamed much of the decrease on the reduced coal ship ments.

John Mcllhenny Smith, director of the Chamber of Commerce, pleaded for the adoption of tne ordinance on the ground that it would guarantee full weight to the consumer who buys coal from the trucker.

Activities Reviewed 'A resume of the Chamber's activities In the last twelve months was given in the annual report which was novel because it was put up in the form of a four-page tabloid newspaper. The retiring president's message contained the assertion that "the Chamber's first ob jective is the promotion and protection of business "from- a community rather than an individual viewpoint and he asserted that "the Chamber has stepped up and majored upon every effort to foster and develop business." Here again as in his verbal remarks, the President said he thinks the big task for the incoming administration is "resistance to further taxes and the removal of taxes recently applied." Operation of the Christmas Credit Agency last fall and winter, publicity campaigns to establish business confidence, cooperation with the Welfare Federation and the activity toward trying to have the Federal Home Loan bank located here are recounted in the annual report. It was estimated that convention promotion work played a part in bringing eighty-two conventions, 152 conferences and 287 miscellaneous meetings to the city during the year. These meetings', it is figured, brought 94,052 visitors to the city. Twenty -four new business enterprises and eleven local expansions provided jobs for 490 Harrisburg citizens within the past twelve months, the Chamber's Business Extension Bureau reports.

The same bureau relates how, in co-operation with the Post Office, it secured a substantial increase in magazine distribution from the city, with resultant benefit to postal workers, trucking concerns, railroads and others. Talking Light Rays Are Shown C. of C. Members Talking light rays were demonstrated to members of the Chamber of Commerce last night at the Penn-Harris Hotel by Dr. John Bellamy Taylor, chief research engineer for the General Electric Company.

The device used consists of a perforated disk which spins in the air and transmits sound with the aid of a ray of light and the "electric eye." For more than an hour the research scientist Who became fam ous some months ago by carryipg on communication between the Navy dirigible Lios Angeles and the earth by a similar method, held the atten tion of the Harrisburg business men with his interesting exhibition. Alternating current lamps were used by Doctor Taylor in making his apparatus to turn light into sound. With the aid of amplifiers, the "eye" reproduced "Old Black Joe," and "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," when it was exposed to the light rays. The musical sounds were made to the accompaniment of a piano with two combs held in front of the "eye" and in the path of the' light ray. A radio broadcast was heard and phonograph record was made audible by a light ray and the "eye" in other experiments.

"I say 'post-prohibition' advisedly," she added, "because it is my firm belief that the women who sponsored the cause of prohibition reform are to see the ultimate triumph of their hopes when that consistent advocate of repeal.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, is elected in November as the next President of the United States." Mrs. Dougherty said the women's organization must continue for years to come. "We are and shall remain a non-political organization," she said. "Our strength lies in the singleness of purpose of the women of all political convictions who comprise our membership.

No matter what the result of the November elections may be, it will in no wise effect the future of this organization which I believe, is destined to become the nucleus of a permanent order of vigilantes." In conclusion, Mrs. Dougherty said that although "personal circumstances made it absolutely necessary for her to relinquish the office she had tilled for the past three years, she would assume a post along the battlefront somewhat different from the post now held by her. The following committee chairmen were appointed by Mrs. Dougherty: Congressional, Mrs. Charles M.

The director said a survey by the directors revealed that two of the supervisors had been giving only part of their time to their work, so that the majority felt that five principals could handle the work of seven. Charts and graphs giving comparative costs on education in second class cities of the State and which have been in the School Board offices for months were used by the director in his talk. One of the women objected because the lat- est figures are for 1931-32 whereas the Board has since cut the teachers' salary by 5 per cent.

In answer to a question from Mrs. Martin Fager why the Board cut the teachers' salaries without making material reductions elsewhere, Robinson asked "How would you like to abolish the kindergartens?" which he said are costing at the rate of $20,000 a year. Mrs. Charles Ryder argued that the tuition charged non-resident pupils should be raised to match the per capita cost of educating children but the director insisted raising the tuition rates would tend to drive out the tuition pupils without reducing the school operating costs comparatively, so that resident taxpayers would then have more expense to meet. Director Robinson defended the action of the Board which did not cut salaries of two school employes, including D.

H. Barr. building super intendent. The women, or some of them, thought that all employes should hava been treated alike so far as the salary reduction was concerned. The director insisted in Barr's case that the employe nor- mally would have been entitled to a salary increase and that being denied the increase compared with the other reductions.

When the long line of questioning was about concluded, Robinson "warned" the club members, "you're going to get a School Board of de generates and bootleggers if yoj criticise too much. He asked the club to congratulate the Board when it does something worth while, but not to criticise when mistakes are made. Federal Jurors George W.

The First Lady accompanied her husband to Iowa four years ago on his campaign. A definite program to aid the farmers will be outlined in the speech which President Hoover will deliver at Des Moines, according to George DeB. Keim, secretary of the Republican National Committee, who boarded the train here. Much time has been spent by the Executive in dictating a revision of his Des Moines speech to his stenographer on the train. Both the President and Mrs.

Hoover are natives of Iowa, he having been born in West Branch and she, in Waterloo. Among those at the station were: Samuel Walker, public service commissioner; Dr. J. H. Kreider, school district physician, and his son.

Homer Kreider, attorney; John Mcl. Smith, who was delegate to the Republican National Convention; George Cockill, member of the Steelton council, and Harry M. Fairchilds. desertion and non-support officers of the auphin County Court. 1 penses, as claimed by Pinchot.

"The Legislature gave for unemployment relief. Everything else should be subordinate to that primary object. If it is necessary to employ help, it should be employed. A very small percentage would be reasonable and fair when relief can not otherwise be distributed," Kephart said. "Moreover the board should cut the red tape which surrounds these orders for relief.

Unexplained and inexcusable delays at Harrisburg are retarding relief." Justice Kephart last April wrote the opinion that upheld the constitutionality of the original Talbot act that provided $10,000,000 for the State's jobless. That fund, he said, was handled through the Poor Boards of the State that had the machinery for administration. The Talbot act of the special session of 1932, he said, created different conditions and overhead expenses have been necessary. The poor directors were praised by the Justice for their distribution of the first State relief fund. "So far as I have been informed, and I have investigated extensively, you performed your duty remarkably well," he told his audience.

The second Talbot act substituted the State and the county relief boards which have taken the distribution of the present relief fund of $12,000,000 out of the poor directors' hands. Justice Kephart said that because the State Board has ruled that overhead cannot be paid out of the. State allocations to the counties committee, appointed by the State Board are unable to function "and relief has already or will soon receive a serious setback." "Some districts," he said, "are solving the difficulty by paying the cost of the distribution with relief orders. "If this charge can be paid with such orders, it can be paid with cash. To deny this is to sacrifice the spirit of the act to its letter.
