Add Many Names
tOList of Donors
to Chest Fund
Collections, However Still
Fall Short of Quota
by % Percent

The Community Chest committee
Is waiting for great number of the
citizens to make their contributions
to the Community Chest. There is
lacking 229o of the quota and many
PERSONS have failed to contribute to
this worthy cause.
The greater part of the contribu-
tions Is used as benefits to char
acter building organizations. The
need for helping these organizations
build up the character Of the rising
generation is shown by a statement
OF the former Attorney General of
the United States, Homer S. Cum
nlings, who states every twenty
two seconds, hour after hour, day
after day, a crime of desperate pro-
PORTIONS robbery, assault, burglary,
rape, kidnapping, manslaughter, MUIR
der-was committed In the United
states last year."
"Over twelve-m month period a
total Of more than 100000 such
major crimes were committed
crime against one out of every "a
American citizens, affecting one
out Of every sixteen American
homes.
More than 1850 Of our citizens
were robbed. Forty-five thousand
were assaulted. And the menace Is
growing every day."
This appalling record should be
sufficient evidence to urge all good
citizens to join In maintaining the
organizations which are benefited
~ this fund.

Lawyer Says
Kuhn Never
Paid His Fee

New York, Nov. 14.-(AP)-
james D. Murray, an attorney, testi-
fled today that he never had re
ccived from Fritz Kuhn, leader Of
the German-American Bund, $500
alleged by the State to have been
entered in the bund's books in the
stout bund fuehrer's handwriting
as payment to the lawyer for legal
services.
Murray appeared as prosecution
witness in Kuhn's trial on charges
Of theft of money from his own or
ganization. Other witnesses had tes-
titled that in June, 1888, the Ger
man-American Settlement League,
a bund affiliate, gave Kuhn money
to be handed over to Murray for aid
in the legal defense of six league
members, who were tried for not
filing certain membership lists re-
quired by State law.
This new scrutiny of bund finan-
ces followed the prosecutions eff
fort of yesterday to depict Kuhn
as a man who, at the bund's ex-
pense, had telegraphed "kisses" to
woman friend.
