eented through Father Clarence +
Wheeler of Holy Comforter Church.
John Poole, campaign chairman, de-
plored that the list of contribution:
does not include more giVers. Pointing
out that the total sum raised prior u
the meeting today was from 1925
persons, Mr.. Poole said: There Is
something radically wrong with this
statement. Washington is a city OF
more than a half-million population
There are at least 100000 houSeholderS
in the city and We should have some
kind of gift from every householder
because every householder is interested
in the work that the Chest is doing
And vet we have less than 10000 gifts
to date. There must be wider ano
more liberal gifts If the campaign Is
to be a success"
False Reports Deplorcd.
Frederic A. Delano, president of tha
Chest, declared that false and APP
parently malicious reports" according
to the campaign workers, are being
spread to the effect that eXtravagan'
salaries are being paid by the Com
munity Chest to its small corps Of paid
workers. such as auditors, clerks, etc
Deplcring this, Mr.. Delano declared
GAS a matter of fact we have repeatedly
emphasized that the cost OF raising the
chest budget is approximately per
cent of the total, as compared 10 the
former cost Of Is to 20 per cent when
the budgets for each member agency OF
the chest were raised separately before
the chest was organized. OF this per
cent only a small portion goes for
salaries for executives and the neces-
sary Office force. the balance being ex-
pended for printing, office rent and va
rious other campaign necessities. This
statement regarding extravaganza SAL
aries should be unqualifiedly denied
wherever encountered. not alone by
out workers. who are giving their time,
but by every friend of the chest"
