Chest Agencies Assist Needy
From Youth to Old Age
Case Records Tell Story Of Timely Aid;
Mother in Hospital, Home Cares for Boby

From infancy to old age-the
Community Chest, through its mem
Der agencies, spans that time in the
care it provides for the needy and
underprivileged here.
Case records of member agencies
tell the story of that service, the
story of needed attention given in
fants and children. of rehabilitation
of families broken by poverty and
disease and. lastly, the haven pro-
vided for the homeless aged.
1t is a story in which the charac-
ters are those who benefit from
thousands of unknown and unseen
givers who contribute to the support
of the Community Chest. 1t is the
recorded story of what the Chest is
doing here in many fields of en-
deavor to aid the less fortunate.
Serious Emergency Met.
A chapter from that story is this
account of how a Chest agency as
sisted one family through a trying
emergency. The scene is the hum

Exchange Power Increased.
One effect of the Anglo -Ameri-
can trade agreement and others of
similar nature previously concluded
under the Hull program was to in
crease the present potential power
of the United States to control the
worlds foreign exchange.
Theoretically at least, it was ex-
planned. it would be mechanically
possible for the United States, with
its vast gold hoard to shatter the
foreign commerce of other nations.
The world is swiftly shaping up
into five great spheres of economic
and political influence, as one in

population: Japan and Eastern
Asia; Russia and Western Asia;
Germany, Italy and Middle Europe:

tention of leaders of the Southeast
community the fact that their area
Is trailing far behind the other areas
Of the metropolitan unit in the
campaign.
Mr.. Fyfe pointed out that the
Southeast area has raised only 49.7l
per cent of its quota. while South
west has collected 8097 per cent,
Northwest 1890 per cent and North
east COTS per cent.
Southeast Washington, when it
understands cause, does not play
second fiddle to any other COM
munity," Mr.. Fyfe declared, but in

Southeast area of the metropol-
itan unit is bringing up the rear
and bad last"
Mr.. Fyfe recalled the keen spirit
Of friendly rivalry that once existed
between the various sections of the
city during the Chest campaign and
expressed the hope the old spirit
would be revived in behalf of the
needy benefited by Chest agencies.
Last year, he added, the Southeast
area wente1ver the top at the last
minute, but he claimed that not
even final squirt would save the
area this year unless larger gifts
and more pledges are forthcoming
Immediately.
He pointed out that two of the
most modern and newly equipped
Chest agencies are located in the
area, Friendship House and the
Southeast Branch of the Boys Club
of Washington.
Thousands of boys and girls Of
the Southeast area are being served
and will continue to be served in
these two agencies" he declared
And there are many other Chest
agencies which are directly or in
directly serving Southeast citizens"

Year-Round Work.
Work on the Audit Unit is prac-

beginning in order to obtain the
most accurate results at campaign
time
With the introduction of the ''des-
ignation plan" this year, the unit
has found itself with an additional
task to perform. The analysis and
tabulation of designations" has been
the subject of intensive study and,
according to Mr.. Councillor. plan
has been devised to accomplish this
job with extreme accuracy and at
minimum cost.

ingly by silence gave consent" to
the program. or so administration
leaders and industrialists both rea-
Soned.
While the full scope of the re-
armament program, they said may
not become known for months, it
now appears that early estimates of
its size, measured in dollars. although
large-a round figure of $4,000, ,000,-
600 was several times previously
mentioned-is likely to be revised
upward. rather than downward.
The mere fact that the program
will be launched during the begin
ming of pickup in many heavy in
dustry lines will in itself tend to
increase the amount of capital ex-
penditure necessary to provide addi-
tional facilities, it was explained.
Utility Estimates Raised.
Early estimates of utility needs
are being sharply increased, one
leading executive in that field
disclosed.
A railroad executive said the car
rier managements would urge upon
the Government careful study of all
possible wartime needs to prevent
the congestion that greatly increased
the hazards and costs of supply
during the World War.
Even the possibility that air vul-
nerability of the seaboard would re-
quire large-scale movement to the
interior of vital industry with equiv
alent new rail and power facilities
is being studied. he said.
A leading heavy industry manu-
facturer said that in addition to vast
upward revision Of plans for Army,
Navy and Air Force. every phase Of
preparing United States factories
for conversion to war manufacture
is being studied. War Department
surveys of industrial capacity Of
more than 10000 plants are now
being completed. Specifications for
dynamos and many forms of ma
chine dies are already being pre-
sented to the War Department., he
explained.
