In Drive on Racket

Following publication Of charges

Rev. John L. Nixon. director of
the department of social welfare of
the Federation of Churches, said
today he has received a number
of threatening telephone calls warm
ing him to stop his campaign against
this type of appeal for funds.
Mr.. Nixon said he was asked to
60 along with the charity racket
eers and overlook their work. One
caller said Washingtonians will be-
lieve anything and If they want
to give that's their business and
he should keep out of it.
They want me to modify my
statement and stop the campaign
against them," he said. However.
I will continue to report on the
status of charity organizations and
I do not intend to have the churches
continually f1eeced by organizations
of this type"
He estimated that more than
100000 a year is going into the
charity racket here. He said he
receives scores of calls daily from
church officials and individuals ask
ing information about various So

door to door. The church organi-
zation maintains an information

are particularly active at this time
in an effort to collect as much as
possible before the annual Com
