COMMUNITY CHEST
MEETING CALLED
Rudolph Asks 200 Social
Workers and Others Inter-
ested to Discussion.

ApproXimately 200 social workers
and citizens who take an active part
in the city'S charity work have been
invited by Commissioner Rudolph to
attend a conference in the boardroom
of the District Building a 3 80 . clock
Tuesday afternoon, to consider the
advisability of placing Washington
on the community chest method of
raising funds for charitable organi-
cations.
The calling of this meeting is the
result of an informal conference held
by the Commissioner 10 days ago
with smaller group, at which ii was
decided to get a more general eN-
preston of opinion.
Thorough Airing Planned.
The Commissioner pointed out that
nothing definite has been decided
thus far, and the purpose of the con-
ference Tuesday is to discuss all
phases of the plan, including possible
disadvantages as well as advantages.
The basic principle of a community
chest is the raising of one annual
budget to meet the needs of all rec
oGnized charitable agencies, instead
of each agency conducting its own
financial appeal.
Commissioner Rudolph said the
community chest method was pro-
posed in 1911, but that the city did
not appear to be prepared for it at
that time and there was created the
Charities Endorsement Committee.
which confins itself to preparing for
the public a list of worthy charities
without raising the funds.

large patch pockets and is single

The color is a weak blue-green.
