RED CROSS TASK
_ !
Rebuilding of Human Moral
Major Job, He Tells Con
vention Delegates.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. May 15 —The major i
task of the Red Cross is the rebuild- j
in? of human morale, Dr. Ivan Lee ■
Holt told the closing session of the !
annual convention of America's "Le- !
gion of Mercy” yesterday.
Pointing to the fact that the sui
cide rate in the United Scutes has
nearly doubled since 1918. Dr. Holt,
who is president of the Federal Coun
cil of Churches of Christ, said it was
an evidence of man's bafflement in
the face of present-day perplexities.
"But depression is not primarily j
the cause," said the speaker. He
quoted a recent analysis which i
blamed an increasing emphasis on j
individualism for a breakdown in i
morale and declared it was the J
"'spiritual mission of the Red Cross" j
to encourage discouraged humans as
well as aid them in time of disasters, j
Before adjourning, the convention, j
which registered the largest chapter ;
delegate attendance in the American !
Red Cross history—2,226— recom
mended that the organization con
tinue its "traditional method” of di
rect membership appeal and requested
that community chests and councils
refrain from campaigns during the
roll call period—from Armistice Day
to Thanksgiving.
The convention also recommended
that future vacancies in the ranks
of the Board of Incorporators be
filled by selection of men and women
engaged in the work of the local chap-1
ters ot the organization. The dele
gates recommended re-election as In
corporators of Alfred E. Smith of
New York. George E. Scott ot Chi
cago. Mrs. Henry P. Davidson of
Locust Valley, N. Y.. and Henry
Upson Sims of Birmingham. Ala.
Washington was recommended for
the 1937 convention.

HOOVER HEDGES
SUPPORT TO BOYS
Indorses Police Campaign
for $135,000, Praising
Effort Against Crime.
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, in a
statement to Police Supt. Ernest W.
Brown yesterday, pledged his support
to thft Metropolitan Police Boys’ Club
campaign for $135,000.
“We have been called a lawless
Nation,’’ Hoover said. "The Metro
politan Police Boys’ Club of Washing
ton is an organization deserving the
honest support of all citizens inter
ested in pulling America out of the
morass of lawlessness. It aiTords a
healthy outlet for youthful energy.
We should strive through organiza
tions such as these to Increase respect
for law and order.
“Once the youth has been won over
and taught to genuinely hate crime
and criminals, we can write high o;i
the roll of progress, ‘The end of pro
fessional crooks!'
“The people of this country have
no more important duty than that
of teaching high ideals and proper
behavior to their boys and girls. Sta
tistics compiled by the F. B. I. show
that the wide participation of youth
in crime is alarming and support the
I
accusation against the older genera
tion that it has done a bad Job with
these young people.
"On the other nand. there are many
young men and women and young
people’s organizations engaged In ef
forts to inspire their associates and
members to become good and useful
citizens. The majority of our young
people are becoming increasingly in
terested from a curative standpoint
In the delinquency in their ranks.
They have found a real challenge in
the constant warfare against crim
inals and the never-ending battle
against crime."
