LARGER DEMANDS OF CHEST
MUST BE MET, SAYS BISHOP
Dr.. Freeman Cites 0verSub-
scription in Many Other
Cities.
Want Calls for Sympathy and
Joining Hands in Great
Cause.
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E.
FREEMAN.

BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E.
FREEMAN.
Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Wash
ington.
AS we approach another city-wide
campaign for the Community Chest we
are compelled to assume that the mini
mum amount asked for by the 20 or
more beneficent agencies must be met.
We base our assurance on the fact
that in the case of the recent Com
munity campaign in Cleveland, where
SIS, 100000 was asked for, the amount
actually pledged was in excess of this.
AS illustrative of the spirit that pre-
vailed in Cleveland, may I cite the fol-
lowing:
The vice president of one of the large
corporations in that city told me that
at a recent meeting of the Board of
Trustees of his corporation, where divi-
dendS had been cut and where a situa-
ton was presented that seemed critical,
the question was raised: What are we
to do this year about our corporation
contribution to the Community Chest?"
Larger Sums Required.
After protracted discussion, a men,
Der of the board asked: How much
did we CIV last year?"
The chairman replied: 1--WE gave a
dollar for dollar what our employees
contributed, and the amount was
$4,000"
THAT was a large amount" said a
member, "but, Mr.. Chairman, the pres
ent situation calls for more generous
action, and even If we have to lose our
dividends, I move that we give 50 for
every 81 our employees contribute"
The action was unanimous on this
proposition.
Minneapolis, Detroit, Erie, Pa, Pitts
burgh, Cleveland-all have exceeded
the proposed budget for community in
terestS. This at least augurs well for
the approaching campaign in Washing
ton.
To my mind there are two conspicu-

Gus reasons why we must be successful.
First, because the need is pressing and
the situation critical. If "a touch of
pity makes the whole world kim" then
certainly we must disclose a fresh spirit
of kinShip in an undertaking that has
to do with the appealing needs of a
great number of our indispensable
benefcent institutions. To relieve dis
treSs, to care for the unprotected youth
and the aged, to minister to the sick,
to feed the hungry-in fine, to meet
the pressing needs of the community
lis a primary call upon our generosity
and sympathy.
Spirit of Brotherhood.
A second reason I submit and one
that is worthy of serious consideration
is that the Community Chest enables
us at least once year to forget our
party passwords and to join hands in
great effort that is eminently human
itarian and Christian in spirit. We are
the victims of divisive forces and
agencies and all too infrequently we
coalesce and cooperate one with an
other. The Community Chest affords
us an opportunity of laying aside our
conceits and our prejudices and of pro-
noting the spirit of comradeship
among men and women of all classes
and types.

MACHINE
BAN UPHELD

The District Supreme Court
acted wisely and properly in re-
fusing to grant a temporary in
junction to restrain the superin-
tendent Of police and United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover
from confiscating all candy-vend'
ing slot machines in the District
under a warning order issued last
summer, the Court Of Appeals de-
cided today in an opinion by
Chief Justice Martin.
David j. White, the plaintiff
in the case brought his suit for
q restraining order saying that
he was the owner Of most of
the slot machines operating in
the District and asserting that
they were not gambling devices,
but delivered a package Of candy
with each coin deposited.
In its opinion the court pointed
out that the machine sometimes
returned In addition to the
candy q number Of brass disks
which could be played in the
machine. These disks could not
be exchanged for money or mer-
chandise, 1t was admitted, but
furnished additional amusement
by o fortune telling feature. The
courb said:
his may seem to be an
unfrnpOrtant consideration, but
such machines are patrOnized
mostly by children and it Is not
consistent with sound public
policy to encourage In imma-
ture minds q love Of even such
limited adventure in chance"

.ETSEL LAUDS
FARM BOARD

Partial confirmation Of this
has already been supplied by
the action Of wheat prices in
the open market, for July
wheat, the first new crop Op-
tiOn, declined about 3 cents .
busheI on the day following the
boards, announcement, and i'm
mediately the price recovered
to former levels. Moreover, this
option had already declined 10
cents per bushel in the 80
days preceding announcement
Of the boards policy.
"The cold fact, that every
one should keep in mind, but
apparently few do, Is that the
policy Of the Federal Farm
Board does not increase or de-
crease by q single bushel the
actual supply Of wheat. Nor
does its activities increase or de-
crease in the slightest the &C
tuaI requirements Of wheat to
supply consumers"
Mr.. Wetsel adds that not al
the decline in wheat is due tc
the advertised surplus, but part
is due to a price deflation o1

MANAGER PLAN
ST|RS FIGHT

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April e.
In the event that the circulatorS
of the petition to call a special
election can obtain the necessary
1900 signatures within the next
few weeks it is believed that the
present form of government in
the city will be beaten.
The city manager form was
adopted after bitter struggle in
1922, and had been previously
defeated. Since that time there
have been repeated attacks on
the present system, which its op-
ponents claim is not close enough
to the people to realize their de"
SireS.
The designations and with.
drawals of Mayor Pierce and
Councilman Fannon last week has
been a blow to the advocates Of
the present government.
The petitioners have been very
careful to prevent the names OF
the signers being made public
before the petition is presented
to Judge Mccarthy.
