Newbold Moves, associate editor Of
The Star and for four years active In
the work of the Community CheSt,
will be the chairman of the 1888 CAM
paign. beginning in November, 1t was
announced yesterday by E. c. Graham
president Of the Chest.
Mr.. Moves accepted the chairmanshlp
following a visit to his office yesterday
by a delegation of Chest officials headed
by Mr.. Graham. In making the an
nouncement Mr.. Graham said:
Because of conditions at this time,
we felt that We needed a campaign
chairman equipped not only with sclen-
did organization ability, but with a
deep knowledge of the conditions that
exist in social work in Washington
We needed a man who knows Wash
ington and has faith in it, and who
can awaken that faith in our city
among the entire population.
I'VE realized that Mr.. Noyes has
made many sacrifices for the Com
munity Chest and has given much time
and thought to various campaigns. We
felt, however, that he was the one man
for the job, particularly this year, and
we were delighted when he consented
to serve"
NOT a One-Man J0D-
''It must be realized by everybody in
Washington that this campaign char
manship is not a one-man job" MIR
Noyes said yesterday. i will be glad
70 serve to the best of my ability, but
this is difficult year and every person
who can serve in the coming campaign
should feel it a duty to do his or her
utmost on behalf of the Chest.
k@lr Twata cd n tFNVr
that Washington has been particularly
hard hit during the past year. Some OF
our wealthy citizens have seen the re-
turns from their investments dwindle to
almost nothing. Almost every wage
Garner in Washington has suffered re-
duction in salary or wages. Our mer-
chants and business men are feeling the
effects of reduced business, and at the
same time the number of people need
ing relief and the amount of money nee
essary to supply that need have reached
an unprecedented stage.
u feel sure that if war were declared
with foreign power tomorrow, the cit
liens of Washington wouldsbe the first
10 rally to the defense of the Govern
ment with both man power and cash.
If national catastrophe were to occur,
Washingtonians would be among the
AAASk " ouOSCAADE W eAAO NAAC ob@ ANNNA4-
For that reason, I am sure, that If 1t
can only be brought home to our citi-
zenship that our own city is facing a
potential catastrophe; that we are. en-
gagged in a war against hunger, poverty,
disease and crime in which no quarter
can be given; that We face the cold,
hard, inescapable fact that there are
20, 600 breadWinners unemployed in the
Capital at present and that literally
thousands of families depend each
month for their daily food on the fam
lily welfare and relief organizations sup
ported by the Chest, that Washington
will rise, as always, to meet this emer-
gency and that our citizens will find
means to supply the funds that will be
needed for this purpose.
The Campaign Committee will need
and will expect the help Of every Wash
ingtonian With such help forthcom-
ing the campaign will be success"
Mr.. Noyes was a team captain in the
special gifts unit during the first Chest
campaign in 1929 and was chairman Of
that unit in the 1880 and 1881 cam
paigns He always has taken a deep
interest in social work and has given
unspsringly of his time and has i'm
proved the various organizations with
which he has been associated. He was
for time president of the Council Of
Social Agencies and has been a member
Of the boards Of several social work or
ganizations.
Need $500, 600 Relief.
Mr.. Noyes was chairman Of the Coun-
ell Of Social Agencies Committee which
appeared before Congress in behalf of
the bill for the appropriation of $500, =
600 of District funds for the relief Of
unemployment. Congress later passed
the measure, providing, however, only
$350,0o0 for this purpose.
The new campaign chairman served
in France as lieutenant of infantry
during the World War and was dis
charged with the rank of captain.
The Community Chest also announced
yesterday that due TO the fact many OF
the Government departments completed
the payments Of their pledges TO the
Chest in three installments, the per-
centage Of collections as of July ! was
unusually high, showing payments OF
$l,74l 900, or 72.0l per cent of the 81
4l7700 pledged to the Chest this year
Government departments have paid
IN 34.5 per cent Of their pledges to
date. the unpaid balance being due tc
the fact number Of employees in vari-
Gus departments decided to pay on the
10-month plan rather than to use the
3-month plan advocated by the Gov
eminent officials who had charge OF
the Government departments cam
paIgn. NCn-governmental Washington
operating on the 10-month plan. has
paid only 631 per cenc Of its pledges.
The urgent necessity Of collecting
every possible penny in order to meet
the stringent emergency existing al
present WAS DOiutp6 C5lt YESTERDAY by
Elwood Street, director OF the Chest
He called attention To the unprece-
dented demands Tor aid that have beer
made on the family welfare and r2lisl
societies, and declared that even witt
the curtailing OF the various agencie.
corresponding to 10 per cent Of all sala-
ries over $1,000 the ClleSt still faces &
deficit Of from S290,0 to $250,000 OF
the year.
At present, he pointed out. the Asso.
oiated Charities. the largest relie
agency in the Chest, faces exhaustion
of its funds some time during mex
month. The appropriation by Con
gress Of $500 of District funds fo
relief Of unemployment will have littl.
effect on the situation this year, he ex
planned. because it becomes available 81
late in the season.
I'VE have every Washingtonian VIII,
pledged to the Chest will realize tn
seriousness Of the situation and viii pa
up that pledge as promptly as poSsibl
in order that Chest organizations cal
keen on with their work Of caring 70
the hungry. the destitute and the sic
