Widespread Support.
ITO my associates" Mr.. Burke said,
Il wish to make it clear that this
undertaking has received the spon-
taneous approval of every department
and agency in the District, and that
both houses of Congress, with char
acteristic generosity, have promised
their unstinted support"
Lee Everett of the National Broad
casting Co. staff and Miss Frances
Witte, well-known radio dramatic
artist, presented a sketch during the
same program from the toy-filled
radio room in the basement grill of
the drug store.
Mr.. Burke termed his role in the
campaign "one of the most agreeable
in my life" and reminded the $4,000
Federal workers in Washington that
the drive is organized to aid them
to realize their wish of making ''the
coming Christmas all that its sacred
name and origin imply" He added:
"A carefully charted but simple plan
Of action will be given to the persons
designated by the senior ofI1cial Of the
Federal organization to carry out this
work of mercy.
Teams Suggested.
In the interest Of concentration and
f1exibility, it will be recommended that
the personnel of each organization be
divided into small groups or teams,
which will function under responsible
leaders, who will report at regularly
established periods to the key man in
his organization. In addition, our
campaign plan will contain detailed
instructions as to the method OF chan
neling donations-regardless of their
form-to a central headquarters.
1T should be remembered that there
are no limitations to the type Of dona-
ton that one may choose to give
toys, clothing, food or money will be
equally acceptable.
I'm fact, it was suggested to me
today by member OF Congress that
If each office in the House we're to
donate basket Of food, their problems
would be greatly simplifled and our
expectations more readily met.
Sees Suggestion As Practical.
Il concurred with that practical
thought, and I believe it might con-
ceivably be adopted to some extent by
many of our departments and agen-
cies. In any event, such matters will
be discussed at series of meetings
which We propose to hold during the
first 10 days Of December.
Il would like to acknowledge a book
which a thoughtful and valued friend
saw fit to send me in this mornings
mail. 1t is small edition of THE
Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens
"A very brief accompanying letter
said in part: Like most of U.s. YOU
