CHEST HEAD URGES
INCREASE IN GIFTS
average Donation Is Lower
Than in Many Cities, Says
n. |. Wi|Iett, Jr.

Vital Importance Of increasing the
size of individual gifts to the Com
munity Chest this year so that the
minimum charitable and welfare needs
OF the metropolitan area may be met
was emphasized by H. L. Willett, jr.,
Chest director, in talk yesterday to
volunteer speakers.
Mr.. Willett pointed out that the
total number Of persons donating had
climbed from about $4,000 in 1929,
when the Chest was organized, to
1929. But the average donation
has been lower than in many cities
and not high enough to meet urgent
requirements. he explained.
II these gifts can be stretched to a
higher average during the coming
campaign there will be no question
Of its success, Mr.. Willett said, add
ing:
"The Community Chest has broad
ened the base not only Of giving but
OF social understanding and co-opera-
tion among the varying social, re-
ligious and racial groups of Greater
Washington"
To provide means of financial sup
port through one annual campaign
instead of more than half hundred
individual drives was the prime rea-
son which brought the Chest into
being, the director recalled. But in
the years 1t has served the COM
munity the Chest has envolved into
an agency which aids social welfare
In numerous other ways, such as by
budgeting and Interpretation of the
aims of the various agencies to the
public. Mr. Willett pointed out.
They said it wouldn't work in
Washington when the Chest idea was
first advanced" he added. They
said Washington had no civic spirit,
no common meeting ground for the
widely separated social, racial and
religious groups. Eleven years Of ac-
complishments have proved that they
were wrong.
you have only to watch the thou
sands of volunteer campaign workers
as they greet each other at the open
ing meeting Of our annual drive to
know that friendly spirit Of civic
fellowship has grown up in Wash
ington along with the Community
Chest"

Torrential rains today added to

Mccall Wants Psychiatr-
! list; to Petition Board

PRISONER RUSHED
/ TO PRISON FARM

/ MIAMI, Fla, June II. (UP)-
Sheriff D. C. Coleman today rush
ed Franklin Pierce Mccall, con-
victed kidnaper IF five-year-old
Jimmy Cash to the state prison
farm at Raiford, where Mccall
had been sentenced to die in the
electric chair for the abduction.
MIAMI, Fla, June 17.-(UP).
Franklin Pierce Mccall, 21-year-
cid convicted kidnap-killer of Jim
my Cash, started a belated fight
for his life yesterday after listen
ing without a flicker of emotion
while Circuit Judge Il. F. Atkln-
son sentenced him to die in the
electric chair.
C.. A. Avriett, Jasper, Fla, at
torney, announced several hours
after Mccall heard the death sem
tence that the farm youths fam
lily would appeal to Florida's par
don board for communication.
"The family feels that the ex-
treme penalty of death ought not
to be imposed under the circum-
stances in this case," Avriett said,
adding that the states kidnapping
statute was designed to "reach a
class of predatory and organized
criminals"
"The facts as detailed by Nc
Call showed a very amateurlsh
plan from beginning to end" the
attorney said. :,
Avriett conferred with Mccall
in the latter's solitary cell after
the death sentence was pronounc-
ed. He quoted the kidnaper as
saying he did not want to die, I'M
less necessary"
"He wants a psychiatrist to ex-
anime him." Avriett said. "He
saws he wouldn't have committed
the crime before and wouldn't do
it again. But he is ready to die
if necessary" =,
The attorney indicated he would
file a petition with the pardon
board within a few days in an eff
fort to delay signing of the death
warrant by Gov. Fred P. Cone. II
that fails, he said, he will appeal
to the supreme court on a writ OF
error.
Under Florida law there are
only two possible sentences fol
kidnapping for ransom. The crime
is punishable by death unless 8
majority of the trial jury recon-
mends mercy. Then the penalty
is life Imprisonment. There wa:
no jury at McCall's trial because
he had entered a plea of guilty.
The decision to fight Florida's
swift justice, which brought Nc
Call enc short legal step from the
electric chair only two days after
he was indicted by special Crane
jury. was a surprise for he never
had made a personal plea fol
mercy.
The proceeding yesterday was
strictly ananti-climax after the
trial Wednesday when Mccall ties
titled in minute detail how hi
stole the Cash baby from his home
at Princeton the night of May %
how he found that the child wa'
dead Is minutes later, how he hit

notes and collected $4,000 from
