MOSCOW.—An almost total lack
of clothing and a famine in fuel
threaten to intensify the food scarcity
suffering in the Ukraine this winter,
warns Col. William R. Grove, super-
visor for the American Relief Ad-
ministration in the Ukraine.
"The lack of clothing is pitiful,"
said Colonel Grove. "There will be
terrible suffering in Odessa this win-
ter unless relief comes at once in
the shape of garments, especially for
children. The refugee hordes even
in Odessa are being added to almost
daily and these people will be in a
bad way. Next to food, clothes for
the peole will be at a remium."
The Jewish Joint Distribution Com-
mittee is furnishing the funds for
the feeding of the Ukraine by the A.
R. A., and this relief was able to
stop starvation. The program this
winter will be designed to block a
recurrence of the starvation.
"Lack of fuel will also add to the
genuine hardship that is bound to
come soon with the arrival of colder
weather," said Colonel Grove. "There
is very little fuel available.
David A. Brown of the J. D. C.,
now in Russia, has urged upon the
American Jewry to take steps to pro-
vide clothing and fuel for this winter.
Dr. Henry Beeuwkea, chief of the
medical division of A. R. A., is pre-
paring to furnish this section with
medical and hospital supplies in an
effort to reduce the winter diseases to
a minimum.
