RED CROSS APPEALS
TO ENTIRE NATION
WASHINGTON. March 4 UP*—The
American Red Cross appealed today
for $500,000 of contributions for
small home owners and others without resources wbo suffered In tbe
California  earthquake.
At the same time, tbs Red Cross
announced tt bad contributed 860,000
te the fund.
"The 7,500 owners of small homes
wrecked in ttw catastrophe art the
most seriously stricken, bow that tbe
emergency has been met." Chairman
John Barton Payne aaid.
Lack Resources
"The majority of these families
are without resources.
"California citizens are aat them-
selves able to bear ttw whole burden,
and the Red Cross ls confident that
thousands of our sympathetic citl-;
sens in other states will want to
give to a relief fund for these
gravely stricken families.
"So ttw Red Cross is asking help
from the Middle West and ttw East.
Red Cross chapters everywhere will
accept contributions from tto public.
Cites Past Record
"It should be borne in mind that
for decades Californians have given
generously to relief funds to help
victims In other parts of ttw nation,
but themselves have received ao
help, through ttw Red Cross or
otherwise, since the 1906 disaster ia
San Francisco.
"Despite tbe distressful conditions
that affect all ef our citizens, the
Red Cross confidently asks for this!
$500,000 for these sorely afflicted
families, believing that ttw tragic
story unfolded In the press and over
the radio in the past few days has:
touched the heart of ttw nation.**
The Red Cross said 60.000 persons !

Republican Support
Republican leaders pledged support to the administration's economy
bill today as the senate headed for
a vote on the proposed power for
President Roosevelt to cut veterans'
benefits and federal pay more than
half a billion dollars.
The 58 democrats in the chamber
were free to vote for any -mend-

The gathering is to be held in" the

YES, ITS TRUE
week basis
The work is being carried on
through the better part of the night,
because only five power shovels are
available ln moving 800,000 cubic
yards of earth and rock which must
be cleared away from the mountainside to double the width of the pavement. A fleet of 23 trucks is kept
busy by ttw five shovels.
Changing Topography
As progress is made ln getting the
road widened additional men can be
put on ln order to have the 40-foot
pavement completed, as scheduled,
by August 1.
According 'to Lackey, one of the
most interesting phases of ttw work
ia that being carried on at the mouth
of Topanga canyon, where the entire
topography is being changed in order to eliminate a sharp bend in
the highway.
With huge masses of rock  and
[earth to be disposed of and no place

Disaster May Bring More
Stringent Regulation
of Construction
Tbe possibility that aura stria-
gent building regulations covering
the use af brick ta business and residential construction work will result from the Long Beach earthquake disaster was being given consideration today by Santa Monica
city officials.
In almost every case lt was admitted, deaths and fatal Injuries tn
tha earthquake zone resulted from
the collapse of brick walls not
adapted to withstand—the rocking
movement of the temblors.
Poor Workmanship Blamed
Experienced ln construction work,
Mayor William H. Carter expressed
belief that in some Instances the
failure of these buildings was due
to poor workmanship. "Unless the
bricks are water soaked before being
laid, they absorb moisture from the
mortar and no bond ls established,"
he said. "Under those conditions,
it does not take very much of a
push to topple a structure."
John A. Morton, commissioner of
the department of public works, advocated the use of cement Instead
of lime in the mortar, and declared
that some method would have to be
found to tie the front, walls of brick
buildings into the rest of the structure.

Financial Houses of Bay
District Expect Influx
of Gold as Result of
Federal Hoarding Ban
Fortified by nationwide decrees which make hoarding
punishable by federal imprisonment, aaid bulwarked by
the strength of the federal reserve system, Santa Monloa banks
will reopen for business at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Harry JL Hudson, chairman of ttw
Santa Monica Bay Clearing House
association, announced today tbat
all banks to Santa Monica, West
Los Angeles and Venice are due to
open their doors for a resumption of
normal activity for ttw first time
since tbe banking holiday was proclaimed on March 1.
Predicts Influx ef Gold
"Legislation which has been enacted by congress Bt the request of
President Pranklln D. Roosevelt WtB
have a healthy effect on tbe banking situation," Hudson predicted.
"The boarding of gold, which
cripples the national credit structure snd saps the life blood out of
business, has been stopped.
"Ws expect that there will be a
great Influx of gold to all of our
banks as a result Of ttw recently
announced intention of the government Of checking up on hoarders."
Hudson said tbat although the
banks will de business as usual, they
now are armed With ttw power of
demanding from a depositor a sworn
affidavit SS ta ttw purpose for which
money ls being withdrawn when
amounts ln excess of $500 are demanded. Thto, he explained, to for
the purpose of preventing currency
hoarding, which can prove just as
upsetting as gold hoarding.
"The banks of the Bay district
are supplifd with reserves which arc
adequate to meet all of ttw normal
demands of business and commerce.
Under ttw guidance of* ttw new administration, they are protected by
every possible safeguard and once
more wlll resume their function of
facilitating the transfer of credit
which ls the essential feature of
modern business."
H. J. Engelbrecht, vice president
bl charge of' the Bay district
branches of ttw California bank, received word last night that ttw California bank of Los Angeles has been
made a member of the federal reserve system yesterday by the federal reserve board in Washington, D. C.
