© HUGE TASK IN DROUGHT 32 Sor Bei
~~ A ET BY RED CROSS
Relief Given. to Distressed Helps
in Meeting Serious Situation,
Chairman Payne Says.
“The year of the great drought,”
‘ag these past twelve or more months
‘will be known to future generations,
wrought great damage to millions.
I Not alone did the crops, which were
burned in ‘the fields in twenty-three
“.Btates, in the summer of 1930, deprive
(several million persons of food, but
| the drought disaster continued in the
summer of 1931 in. the northwestern
| states, and also brought other minor
| catastrophes in ‘its wake, such as for-
est fires, and the grasshopper plague.
More than a year has elapsed since
‘the American Red Cross. launched, in
August, 1930, its first moves for relief
of the drought-stricken farmers, and
in that time more than 2,750,000 per-
‘sons were given food, clothing, med-
ical aid, shelter or other type of as:
sistance. At no period during this
|year were there fewer than 70,000
‘persons being aided and at the peak
{of the relief work on March 1, last,
i more than 2,000,000 persons were be-
‘ing helped. ; i
Today, still as! a result of the |
"drought, the Red Cross is giving ex.
tended relief in parts of North Dakota,
Washington and Montana, where re-
"sources of hundreds of families were
wiped out this past summer, when a
second and more severe spell of dry
weather was prolonged in that region.
This drought ‘relief presented. the
greatest task that has ever been un-
dertaken by the Red Cross as a peace-
time ‘activity, The Mississippi Valley |
flood of 1927, while more spectacular,
and calling for relief of a costlier type,
"because homes and possessions were
swept away, affected hardly one-fourth
the number of people who suffered be-
cause of the drought.
In addition to the, broad program
of drought relief still being carried
on, John Barton Payne, chairman of
the American Red Cross, has given
the following suggestion to Chapter
chairmen, in regard to, unemployment
relief: “Where there is suffering and
want from any cause and the funda-
‘mental local needs are not being met,
Chapters may participate in the com-
munity plans for meeting the need.”
Some type of general family relief,
whether for the drought victims, the
unemployed or the war veteran and
his family, were carried on by more
than 3,000 Red Cross Chapters last
year, Judge Payne said.
“The ‘drought relief work of 1930-
31,” he added, “the relief now being
extended following last summer's
drought, principally in Montana and
i North Dakota;" the assistance which
is being given to ex-service men and
their families; and the part which |
several hundred Chapters are taking !/
locally in their communities’ relief
measures are activities of. the Red
‘Phia, as tae result of a courageous’
accomplished their splendid work right
at the front door of tne metropolitan
uewspapers of Philadelphia. i
| :
Third degree methods have gone out
of tashion ‘in Montgomery County, a
populous district adjoining Philadel-
crusade waged by a small county daily
ana a country weekly. The two pap-
€rs were practically alone in their
ngnt, which climaxed in ‘a verdict of
guilty against three public officials
who each face maximum sentences of
eight years. ™ |
The men convicted on each of four
charges are Assistant District Attor-
rey Ralph J. Rinalducci, Chief of Po-
lice’ T. Brooks Cassidy and Detective
Joseph Trunk. Evidence showed they
assaulted William Campbell, a negro
held on suspicion of having taken part
in a bombing last May, in an effort to’
make him confess. It was testified
that he was also givén a ‘ghost’
scare in which a state trooper is al-
leged to have taken part. Then Camp-
bell was freed and he threatened le-
gal action against his tormentors.
The first time the story broke was
when an item appeared in the Ambler
Gazette saying Campbell was recover-
ing from injuries caused by police of-
ficers. The North Penn Reporter fol-
lowed’ with a story that the local bar
association was investigating. This |
publication was followed by hints from
public officials that it would be “dan- |
gerous” to continue handling the story,
The Reporter refused to be intimidat-
ed and printed the inside story that
the bar, association report was being
side-tracked, criticizing the delay in
an editorial. :
Shortly after this appeared, Editor
E. S. Moser, of the Colledgeville Inde- |
pendent, printed an interview with
Campbell, giving his side of the case
and denouncing the officials in a blis-
tering editorial, following it up with
a demand for drastic action.
,Finally financial ‘support was obtain-
ed'and Dennis A. O'Neill, a Norristown
attorney, was engaged. Rinalducei
countered by raiding Campbell's home
and arresting him on crarges of vio=
lating the Volstead Act. Campbell
was released on $2,500 bail after three
weeks’ fight by the two papers. Three:
days after he was' freed the three of-
ficers were arrested.
Rumors late in August that the case
would be “hushed up” aroused the two
newspapers, which were still fighting
the battle alone, to renewed action, |
the Reporter calling the prosecution
a “public protest against hideous law-
lessness by officers of the law” and in-
sisting upon a full, fair and public
trial as a matter of public policy and
in justice to all concerned. Indict- |
ments were returned and the three
men convicted by a jury.
Commenting editorially upon the
it a “notice by the jury that constitu-
verdict, the North Penn Reporter calls
tional guarantees still apply in Mont-
gomery County.” It further commen-~
ted that: “The defense sought to cre-
ate the impression that the prosecu-
tion had its origin in politics. Noth- |
ing, however, could be farther from
the truth. The case was published in
{the Reporter solely because it = was |
news and displayed in propertion to |
its importance, in the opinion of the
| editor.” i
