One-third Of the Community Chest
quota of s1,675 900, needed to carry
on the work of "a member organiza-
tions during the coming year, remains
to be raised as the annual campaign
goes into its final phase today.
During the four days remaining of
the 10 allocated for the drive. the
5000 volunteer Chest workers must
raise s556.000, or an average of
sl39 900 a day, if they are to realize
their goal
When the sixth daily report meet
ing closed at the Willard Hotel yester-
day afternoon. the drive had just
passed the two-thirds mark, with a
total of sl,118,320.11 in hand in con-
tributions and pledges, or 66.76 per
cent of the quota. Although Satur-
day always has been a poor day in
Chest campaign history. the teams
yesterday turned in a total of s101 $40.
Today will be an idle day for the
Chest volunteers composing the great
Governmental Unit, to which has been
entrusted the largest of all the unit
quotas-s570, ,56o-but it is expected
to be one of the busiest days of the
campaign for volunteers in the other
units, many of whom are expected to
take advantage OF their release from
Offices and places of employment to
put in large part of the day solicit
ing prospective contributors to the
Chest.
Reports Due Tomorrow.
There will be no report meeting to-
day and the results of two days of
work by many of the teams will be
reflected in the reports which they
will turn in at the seventh report
luncheon in the Willard Hotel ball
room at 1915 pm. tomorrow.
The enforced idleness of the Gov
ernmental Unit today will give the
other major units an opportunity to
overhaul this unit which has main
tained a lead since the opening of
the campaign in the percentage of its
quota raised. Last night the Chest Au-
diting Unit, headed by James A Coun-
cilor. reported that the Governmental
Unit has completed the raising of 1873
per cent of its quota. The unit division
leaders, under Maj. Gen. Frederick w.
Coleman, chief of finance of the
Army, yesterday added to its total
35.541 90. from 5,883 contributors in
the District and Federal Government
offices in Washington. This brought
their totals for the campaign to date
to $475,251.45 from 66,794 con-
rtibutors.
The Special Gifts Unit, led by
Charles Carroll Morgan, which on
Friday smashed all-time Community
Chest unit records by turning in
$115,864.l8, yesterday maintained its
relative position with the leading
Governmental Unit, by turning in
s33,s19 of its quota of s501, 900. This
increased its quota standing to 754
per cent.
