From Realization.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. (P)
The Hcmito today approved the
$20, 000,000 appropriation for Red
Crows relief work. Tlicro was no
record vote.
Will Jackson county answer tho
call for relief of, littlo children,
mothers and fathers, who are fee
ing starvation in 21 states of tho
Mississippi valley? is the question
facing local Bed Cross workers
today who find that only $"36
of the $ 1 800 quota for Jackson
county has been raised.
Yes," is the answer J. C.
Thompson, chairman of the Jack
son County Bed Crosw chapter
gave when interviewed this after

that people who will feed tho Chi

families to a room. Hundreds of
thousands have no- other food
than corn, which they pound Into
a flour and from this make bread,

"The situation has become so
grave that the Ited Cross was last
Auguet called upon to tako charge
of the situation. It has already
expended In the neighborhood of
$1,800,000 in tills relief work and
given relief to 403,000 drouth suf
ferers. "When It became apparent that
the Ited Cross relief fund of
Koo.ooo would not he sufficient
to take care of the demands, as
they will continue through May,
at least, President Hoover
issued a proclamation calling
the American people to subscribe,
through the Bed Cross, to a fund
estimated by experienced Bed
Cross directors to equal a mini
mum of $10,000,000.
' "Jackson county's share was
placed at $IK00, Mr. Thompson
continued. "Of that amount only
$230 has been raised. Ashland
lint contributed $23 and Medford
$21.1, of which lattT amount $-'00
was taken from the Community
Chest $500 emergency fund.
This means that tho people of
Medford have, so far, given In
actual subscriptions only $13 to
this call for relief.

It was said ut the White House to

The report as to Secretary Mel

It was also denied that JeorKe
Akerson. who has resigned as sec

depend on the possibility that the
