RED RULE CHARGED
IN NEW YORK AID
Welfare Board Head Says
Communists Thus Get Big
Campaign Fund.
Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 17.—The New
York Times quoted Victor P. Rldder,
chairman of the State Board of Social
Welfare, tonight as charging that the
Communist party indirectly controls
the distribution of relief totaling $9,
000,000 per month in New York City.
Rldder, former works progress ad
ministrator for the city, said the
Communist domination of the Emer
gency Relief Bureau work gave that
party a larger "campaign fund" than
any other party, the Times reported.
“The situation as I see it,” Rldder
said, "is simple. You have an organ
ization of 3,400 investigators. Not all
of them are Communists, but they are
Communist-led. You have the Work
ers' Alliance, which is not all com
munistic, but which is 100 per cent
Communist-led."
Magistrates’ Leniency Hit.
Rldder, the article said, blamed
magistrates' leniency for the alleged
Communist grip on relief administra
tion. The alliance, he charged, is a
group "perfectly willing to start
trouble in any precinct. If the police
arrest them, the magistrates let them
off. * • •
"If the same group of Communists
were to walk into the police depart
ment, the Are department, the de
partment of sanitation or the con
troller's office and interfere with the
business of the city, they would oe
harshly dealt with.

Oscar Family Returns
One Egg Appears in New Nest on Window
Sill Site, as Usual. *
This is Oscar being pointed out by Miss Hazel Kirk, Juvenile
Court clerk. —Star Staff Photo.
H s—^ SCAR are back again ”
/ | We say "are” because
I I there are two Oscars, one
^ being a male pigeon and
the other a female. Their friends,
who annually care for their families,
cannot tell them apart.
The Oscar family lives on a window
sill just outside Assistant Corporation
Counsel Edward M. Welliver’s office
at Juvenile Court. It moved there last
year and sojournel long enough to
raise a family of three ever-hungry
little Oscars. *
Now the parents are back, and the
first egg has appeared in a new next.
Strange as it may seem, the first
eggs last year and this year ap
peared on Sunday.
Welliver is very fond of the Oscar
family and would bitterly oppose any
anti-starling movement which might
annoy them. Even more affection
for the pigeons is held by Mrs. Kath
aryn Vodila, Welliver's secretary.
Last year Mrs. Vodila gathered up
the young each time it rained and put
them in a glass bowl covered with a
towel. The mother approved, since it
gave her an opportunity to fly away
for food for herself.
Welliver was ready to swear today
that no young bird on earth can eat
as much as a squab (young pigeon).
It eats peanuts, certain bird seeds and
a mixture of meal and water. The
latter dish is consumed in large
quantities.
The window facing on the sill
where the birds nest is never opened.

Move After Roosevelt Or
ders Tightening of Purse
Strings.
The Federal Government is begin
ning to "take stock” in conformity
with President Roosevelt's instructions
to administrative officers to tighten
purse strings for the remainder of
the fiscal year.
In all the departments and In
dependent establishments, it was
learned last night, bureau chiefs and
other officials have been notified to
make surveys of the activities falling
immediately within their province to
see what proposed expenditures can
be waived. On the basis of these
reports, the heads of the several
establishments will be able to deter
mine what should be done.
Construction and purchases appear
likely to be the two most important
items in which savings can be effected.
It is customary throughout the Gov
ernment, officials say, for many proj
ects to be held up until near the end
of the fiscal year, when it can be
determined just how much will be
available for them without hamper
ing other more pressing activities.
This, for example, is particularly true
with respect to building repairs and
equipment purchases. Under the
President’s order now, programs of
this sort will be deferred, at least
until the appropriations for the next
fiscal year become available.
In making public his instructions
Mr. Roosevelt explained that he was
putting them out earlier than last
year to give the establishments more
time to figure their economy programs.
Treasury officials, without estimat
ing what can be whittled from pro
jected expenditures, believed material
savings can be effected.
Thjs revised budget estimates for
both the 1937 and 1938 fiscal years go
to Congress this week from the White
House, together with the President’s
estimates of relief needs for the new
business year starting July 1.
The deficit for 1937 already has
been placed at *2,652,654.000. and, in
ordering his aides to save wherever
possible, Mr. Roosevelt said the def
icit would be even greater unless
this were done.
Esperanto Lessons Planned.
Lessons in Esperanto, sponsored by
the Esperanto Club of Washington,
will be conducted weekly at Thomson
School by Miss Maud Sawyer Taylor,
starting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The
classes are for beginners and are to
supplement more advanced ones held
on the same nights.

Py the Associated Press.
MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa. April
17.—Discovery of a gunny sack filled
with human bones by a group of
children moved this small Southwest
ern Iowa community to high excite
ment tonight.
The bones, identified by two doctors
as those from the left side of a man
apparently 35 to 40 years old and
about 6 feet tall, were placed in the
city hall today.
Sheriff C. F. Cross attempted to
night to link the find with the dis
appearance of Dwight Woof, Logan,
Iowa, beer parlor operator, w'ho
dropped from sight last Fall with $300
to $400.
The two doctors said the bones were
from a body apparently dissected in
an amateurish fashion — literally
hacked and sawed apart. They be
lieved the dissecting had been done
from 30 days to six months ago.
