YMPIC FUND VERY SMALL
Only $4,000 Subscribed of
100000 Asked.

more than a beggarly SJ5, 000-part
cash, part promises-in response to it's
appeal for 100000, the Olympic
Games Committee may extend the final
date to receive contributions.
The special committee announced a
month ago that If $4,000 was not
subscribed by the end of the year the
whole scheme would be abandoned. 1t
is possible the committee will now set
January Z as the final date, in order
to try TO obtain an additional $4,000.
or the $50, 200 only $4,000 has act
ually been subscribed, for the other
S22. 800 consists of various conditional
promises. Against the $500 must be
placed donations to various associa-
lions and expenses, amounting in all
to S17 800 leaving only $1,000 TO be
carried forward for some new plan or
returned To subscribers.
1t now looks as though the whole
scheme would fall through.
