CHEST SHORTAGE
CUTS ACTIVITIES
Director WiIIett Tells Heads
Of Agencies Necessity
of Close Budgeting.

Unable to meet demands for funds
from many quarters on account OF the
failure Of the Community Chest cam
paign to reach its goal Of $l,969,0 900,
the Chest will depend on its IS vel
fare agencies to plan their 1887 pro-
gram on the basis Of the funds IN
hand.
This was emphasized by Herbert L.
Willett, jr, director Of the Chest, in
addressing yesterday the Executives
Council, an organization composed Of
the executive heads Of the IS agencies.
Willett stated that present circum.
stances point to an amount about the
same as that available last year. The
agency heads will meet with the
Budget Committee Of the Chest next
week.
With approximately the same
amount of funds as were available last
year we are asked to supply an addi-
tional $4,000 for hospitals. an addi-
tional $4,000 for increased relief
needs and many other increases for
work that is vitality necessary" Willett
said.
IT am sure that every agency will
needing help. However, there is limit
to the work that a dollar will do.
"jlst what 1t will mean cannot be
forecast now. It is probable that some
people needing hospital care or clinic
treatment cannot get 1t at Chest eX-
pense. A large number, however, will
receive care. 1t is probable that some
orphans will be denied admittance to
Chest institution, but those accepted
will be well cared for. There will be
families refused aid at the family
service agencies because to put them
on the rolls would mean taking of
some other families equally worthy.
1T Is probable that some boys will
be refused membership in a boys club
and there will be boys and girls, tired
mothers and little children who can
not have healthful vacation at Z
camp next Summer.
Everything possible will be done
but it is simply impossible to do the
whole job with partial funds OuI
only hope is to do the best possible
job. let the people of Washington
know that the job is not complete be-
cause their charitable and welfare
agencies are not equipped with sufi-
cient funds and hope that Washing
ton will demand an adequate job next
year and supply the funds
Clarence Phelps Dodge. president OF
the Chest. thanked the executives for
cooperating In aiding the Budget
Committee to make the best possible
distribution of available funds.

MOVE W|NSFAV0R
/. FOR 6-YEAR TERM
Congress Leaders in Both
Parties Believe in Longer
Presidency.
By the Associated Press.

Some congressional leaders Of both
major parties reacted approvingly
yesterday TO proposal that the
President be elected for one term Of
six years, but most Of their colleagues
reserved judgment.
The suggestion was advanced in
Omaha by Senator Burke, Democrat,
of Nebraska. who said he would intro
duce constitutional amendment car
rying such a provision.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
sourl said he had always been in
favor of a six-year term without the
privilege of reelection.
Time and Efficiency Lost.
"I never thought it had a chance
of enactment" he said. because I
didn't believe the sentiment of the
country was in favor. I believe, how
ever, it would promote the efficiency
of the Office if the President did not
have to put in half of his first term
running for reelection. There is
great waste Of time and efficiency
under the present system"
Representative Tinkham, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts, said he had
planned to introduce similar resolu-
ton and had prepared such an
amendment as long ago as six or
eight years.
Il have never introduced it. but am
very much in favor" he said.
Vice President Garner declined to
comment, while Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Of Idaho said his mind was
open.
Arguments In Favor.
Borah recalled he had opposed
similar proposal when President Theo-
dore Roosevelt was being mentioned
for third term. He added, however,
there we're many arguments in its
favor.
Representative Rayburn, Democrat,
of Texas. who is campaigning for
House majority leader, withheld COM
ment until he could discuss ANY
such program" with the President.
Burke said in Omaha he believed
President Roosevelt would favor the
amendment.
A similar amendment was intro
duced in the last Congress by Rep
resentative Dickstein, Democrat, of
New York, but was not acted upon.

8 Cents Per Vote Limit.
His scheme would forbid the ma
tional committee of any party to spend
more than cents for each vote cast
in the preceding presidential election
and would lay similar restrictions on
congressional and senatorial commit
tees.
On this basis, less than sl.500,0
could have been spent by each national
committee during the last campaign.
in comparison with the S7.400000 ac-
tually paid out by the Republican Ma
tional Committee, and the $3,40O.o0O
by the Democratic National Com
mittee.
Candidates for the House would be
limited to cents for every vote cast
and in no case would be permitted t6
spend more than $4,000.
Senatorial candidates would be al.
lowed cents per vote. without any
lump sum limitation.

He suggested either joint congres.
sional committee, or an impartial COM
mission set up under the executive
branch of the Government.
Clarifying Provisions.
His draft law contains other pro.
visions for clarifying expenditure re.
ports, identifying individual contribu'
tors, and placing all disbursements ir
the hands of authorized politica
agencies.

|CUT IN NJ0BLESS TAX
lis POSSIBLE HERE
Marshall Believes Reduction
May Be Made Without
Loss to Workers.

Belief that the pay roll tax on en-
ployers for purposes of the unemploy-
ment compensation insurance plan
could be reduced, without endangering
benefits to be paid to eligible workers,
was voiced yesterday by John A. Mar
shall, director of the District Unem-
ployment Compensation Board.
Marshall said, however, the question
had not been considered by the board
and that he did not propose to sug-
gest such an amendment to Congress,
at least until 1887. He said he be-
lieved the experience Of the second
year of pay roll tax collections should
be obtained before so important a
change is proposed.
S1,50O.O00 Expected This Year.
The District board this year will
collect in excess of $500 900 from
the application Of a ! per cent tax
on the pay rolls of employers who are
subject to the law. For 1887 the tax
is to be increased automatically to
per cent and Marshall estimates that
on the experience of 1886 the collec-
tions Of next year will exceed s3000,-
600. For 1888 the tax is to be
per cent, which would indicate the
collections for that year might be in
excess of S4.500,000.
Under the wording of the act the
tax is to remain at per cent from
1888 to l94l, inclusive. Thereafter
the merit system will come into play,
with the board having the power to
adjust the pay roll tax for individual
employers on the basis of their expe-
rience in loss of jobs to their en-
ployes. Some may be taxed as low
as is per cent and none over per
cent, but the average must remain
at per cent.
Maximum Cost S2,40O, 900.
Marshall pointed out that if the
maximum benefit payment Of $240 a
year were given to as many as 10000
eligible workers who become jobless,
the annual cost would be $2,400, 900.
He explained if there is collected in
pay roll taxes for the same year as
much as $4,000, ,000-the sum esti-
mated to be collected in 1937-there
would remain a reserve of 100000.
Marshall estimated there are now
some 100000 employees registered with
the board.

New York, Oct. 9-(UP)-Joe
Louis tonight knocked out Jorge
BreScia of Argentina with a
smashing left hook to the jaw in
the third round after Drawing the
big gaucho'S pile-driving right
hand in the early brawling.
Before more than 5000 fans in
Mike Jacobs new red-pluShed
and gold-tinSeled hippodrome, the
brown bomber battered the hard
hitting Argentine to the floor and
referee Arthur Donovan counted
him out in 2:12 of the third round.
They were slated to fight ten.
Before shuffling Joe disposed
of his youthful opponent, the
Negro had felt the dynamite in
Brescia's right. but he weathered
its stunning impacts and came
back fighting for the kill
The knockout-Joe'S third
straight since being kayoed by
SChmeling in June-came shortly
otter BreScia had driven him into
the Argentine'S corner with a
furious barrage Of right and left
SmaSheS to the head. The barrage
brought the fans to their feet
screaming madly for a knockout.
Joe was bleeding from a slight
cash on the left side Of his cheek
after this melee and ne was some
what unsteady from the blows
that he had taken. but he kept
cYowding his man until an open
ing presented itself.
His right fist shot out sudden
" and staggered his manaCing
opponent in a neutral corner.
Brescia side-stepped on rubber
legs along the ropes to his corn
er. and there it was that the left
hook flashed into his jaw.
BreScia spun around and the
tips of his gloves licked the top
strand of the ring ropes as he
SpCaw'led down on his face. He
lay there writhing, with his legs
kicking from side to side like a
drunken swimmer. Referee Dono-
van tolied the count in unison
With a new electrical counting de-
vice above the ring.
BreScia was starting to come on
when the stunning right struck
him in the third-Starting to lose
the tension and caution which
apparently had prevented him
from cutting loose.
Aside from the time that
Schmeling dropped the bomber
and knocked him out later in the
Yankee Stadium fight. Louis was
IN greater danger in tonight S
third round than at any time dur

fenced fighter. he might have put
