Stress Need for Increase.
The Special Gifts Committee, the
Metropolitan Unit and the Group So
licitation Unit were making every Ell
fort today to obtain increased contri-
buttons from those who already have
given to the Chest and we're on the
trail. also. of new subscribers. Chair
man Newbold Noyes of the Special
Gifts Committee was in telegraphic
communication with many absent
WaShingtonians.
With two more days of solicitation re-
naming, it was expected that the Met
ropolitan Unit under Merritt o. Chance
, would clean up its outstanding list OF
about 10000 names, representing givers
of last year, who either were not ap-
preached this year or failed to renew
their contributions. In each case tie
need of at least a 20 Der cent increase
In the amount Of the gift will be
stressed.
All radio stations will be busy with
special Chest appeals tonight. Bishop

one of the most active of all the Chest

Those who spoke last night over the
radio were Right Rev. James e. Free
man, Bishop of Washington; Mr. Moves,

Churches Plan Appeals.
Churches of almost every denomina-
ton are planning special appeals in be-
half of the Chest deficit at services to-
morrow. Archbishop Michael J. Cur
ley of Baltimore, it was said, has ar
ranged TO send another letter to be read
at all Catholic masses and a program
for the Jewish synagogues is being di-
rected by oscar Leonard and Maurice
Maser.
william Knowles Cooper, former gen.
eral secretary Of the Y. M. C.. A. and
one Of the leaders in the Chest cam
paign, is organizing special meetings
and appeals at the Protestant churches
Of the city tomorrow.
Working until late last night. the
auditing department of the Chest was
unable to finish tabulating the pledges
received at Thursdays meeting and the
official results from that meeting prob
ably will not be ready until some time
tomorrow. The auditing probably will
show a slight sirinkage in the total
amount raised, but not enough, officials
believe, to have much bearing on the
final results.
