| I'VE won't be beaten in this campaign
unless we think we are beaten-and we

depression, but think how much more
those who need this relief have felt it.
We must grid up our armor realizing
| more fully that the other fellow is
| great deal worse off than We are, and
then go to it.
During the Civil War, Gen. Grant
| succeeded a series of commanders who
had failed because they were frightened
| by the names of Lee and Jackson.
! Grant took charge and said: I know
We have been in bad shape, but I also
know the other fellow is in d
sight worse shape

"I notice the Governmental Unit this
year is considerably below the percent
/
units. l recall that in a previous cam
paign the Governmental Unit led all
! the others. l want that unit to show
| its courage now and come forward. I
am sure the Governmental Unit will
! increase its quota before the campaign
ends.
"As your chairman has said, you are
| fighting with your backs against the
wall. but you are not whipped as long
as you can keep up the morale of your
army. / am sure you are going to

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
speaking as a temporary resident of
| Washington" today appealed to Federal
| employees to share generously in the
movement to send the Community
| CNeSL across LNe goal.
The tremendous pressure under
! which Government officials are work
/ ing has made it impossible to give as
much time as they might have wished
| to emphasize the appeal of the Com
munity Chest in the Government Of
fices," Secretary Wallace declared.
Many of us. myself included, missed
! the opportunity to give until the be-
J ginning of the extended drive. which is
now in progress.
Realizes Efforts Being Made
But this does not mean lack o.
keen intereS. IN the Chest success On
the part of the administration We
scope that are being made must BE-
backed up by the girdng Of all local
! and Supplement- the Federal program
! L am convinced that. as a tempo
! rary resident in washington, l owe
the Chest something of my interest and
of my contributions. and I hope that
every Government employe will haze
| this same feeling.
| Such giving must be voluntary, and
! I do not approve of official pressure
! But do appeal to every one to share
| of their substance. and share gener-
| ouSly. because the work represented b.
| the Community Chest merits the fullest
/ consideration and sympathy. and I ain
| certain that if every person in the city
| will probe his own heart and conscience
( and picture to himself what sort of a
! community this would be without the
varied services of generous philan-
| thropy. he will want to share to the
| limit Of his ability"

His letter follows:
Ito the pastors of the City of Wash
ington
The Community Chest campaign,
upon which our eight Catholic chari-
table institutions depend, is tagging and
threatens to fall short. If these insti-
tutions are again required to take a
serious cut it will impose a grave hard
ship upon them. This Is particularly
true of our homes for children. Already
crowded to capacity they are called
upon TO do more work than ever before.
''I would ask you to call this to the
attention of your congregation Sunday,
urging those who have not yet made
their pledge to do so promptly. Those
who can give more should increase the
pledges they have already made.
Sincerely yours in Christ.
Michael j. Curley,
Archbishop Of Baltimore"
