Chest Workers Push
Campaign TO Slash
Goal Deficit
More Than $4,000
Collected Since
Wednesday

With approximately $4,000 COL
lected since the final report meeting
last Wednesday, Community Chest
units were on the trail of more sub
scriptions today to make their own
unit goals before the audit deadline
Wednesday.
December, regarded by Chest
leaders as cleanup month. is ex-
pected to draw the campaign sew
eral thousand dollars nearer its
$2,127 900 goal.
Although teams will break up
after the final audit, Herbert l.. Will
lett, jr., Chest director, said today
individuals would study the list of
prospective contributors who either
through illness or because they were
missed during the actual campaign
have not yet been solicited.
Solicitors still on the job in De-
cember will make every possible at
tempt to get in touch with those not
reached before" Mr.. Willett said.
5000 Continue Appeals.
With the same enthusiasm shown
during the campaigns, 5000 volun-
teer solicitors have continued to
make their appeals to contributors,
holding frequent group meetings and
turning in three and four reports
day. The Metropolitan unit was
busy with house-to-house appeals
yesterday and the other units were
expected to be on the job again
today to push their units over the
top by Wednesday, At the last
report meeting, the deficit stood at
s32O,O0O.
Advocating the installment plan
of giving to the Chest, Mr.. Willett
explained that those who have made
cash gifts can pledge additional
funds to be collected at any time
they specify. He said that generally
speaking installment pledges usually
mean larger subscriptions because
they enable the giver to send in
small amount at time instead
of giving what he can afford at any
one moment. Funds collected during
the coming year, he added, will be
credlted to the campaign.
Benefit Play to Be Given.
The Vagabond Players of ST. Mar
garet's Church will present play

pected to participate in the per-
formance to the extent of s1aslaud-

Although his gun does not match

spector Bernard w. Thompson, chief

Police. however, pointed out that
Mrs. Brown. now confined to
Georgetown Hospital with a bullet
wound in the hip which the sniper
inflicted, had previously identified
another suspect, who furnished an
ironclad alibi.
Bullets Are Tested.
Inspector Thompson said Kanada
would be questioned possibly during
the day. He added that he could
not be questioned yesterday because
he was still under the influence Of
liquor or some drug.
Efforts are also being made, the
inspector said, to trace Kanada's
movements on the nights the sniper
has struck. So far nothing has been
developed to place him in the
vicinity of the Rock Creek Park
section where Mr. Murray and a
colored victim were killed within a
week.
Ballistic tests showed that a gun
taken from Kanada was not the gun
with which the sniper fired from the
darkness on his unsuspecting vic

and then fired on them.
