Alexandria during the Chest drive.
The Chest appropriated to Alex
andria $l5,700 and in addition paid
out $4,000 in hospital bills for the
needy sick of Alexandria. The diff
ference between what was given to
the Chest and what was appropri-
ated, he asserted, was too large to
be accounted for wholly by Alex
andrians contributing through their
Government departments.
In adopting its committee report the
Alexandria council agreed to meth
cd for setting up the new agency.
The councils Executive Committee
will nominate the membership of a
proposed town Community Chest
Board of Trustees. The nominations
will be sent to the constituent men,
Der organizations affiliated with the
council, for study. Additional
nominations may be made at a reg
ular meeting of the council and that
group will take final action to elect
the Chest officers.

Separate Chest Drive
Voted by Alexandria
Social Agencies
Unanimous Report
Of Committee Adopted
With Only One Dissent
BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. May 24.-An
independent Community Chest cam
paign will be conducted here this
year for the first time, the Alexan-
dria Council of Social Agencies de-
cided last night.
A special committee, headed by
Council President Albert v. Bryan,
has had the subject under study for
the last two months and submitted
a unanimous recommendation that
the change be made.
Alexandria will be the third nearby
Virginia community to sever con-
nections with the Washington Chest
and to inaugurate an independent
campaign. Fairfax and Arlington
counties each conducted separate
drives for the first time last year
and plan to maintain separate Or
ganizations this year.
Heretofore Alexandria has par
ticipated in the Washington Com
munity Chest campaign, sharing in
the total collected throughout the
greater Washington area.
One OF the reasons assigned for
the move was the alleged Ineffective
ness OF the designation plan," un-
der which residents of nearby areas
are given the option Of indicating
what proportion Of their contribu-
tions are to be spent In their home
communities.
"As matter Of fact, the desig-
nation plan has been without any
effect whatsoever" as far as Alexan-
dria is concerned, the local COM
mittee reported

Apartment Group for
coIored Would Be the
Size Of CoIonioI Village

A 100000 housing project for
colored families fronting on the
Baltimore pike in the Berwyn (Md)
area has been brought before the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Capital Park and
Planning Commission for approval,
1t was learned today.
A group Of white and colored
sponsors Of the project and repre-
sentatives Of the Summers Construc-
ton Co. of New York City, which
has prepared the plans, held con-
ference with the planning body yes
terday afternoon.
Decline Comment.
Commission officials declined to
comment on the proposal until it
was before them In the form of q.
final application.
At the conference yesterday Irving
G. Root, the Commission chief
engineer, pointed out certain
changes in specifications he said
were necessary to comply with Com
mission regulations.
1t was understood they were of a.
minor nature, such as the width of
streets and technical engineering
details. The question of rezoning
and property to residential c to
permit construction of apartment
houses also was discussed.
Part of the 30-acre tract on which
the apartments are to be constructed
is now classified as acreage and has
been owned by a colored farmer for
many years. The portion fronting
on the boulevard already has been
rezoned in part to commercial status
and is occupied by gasoline filling
station.
Size Of Colonial. Village.
E. w. Martin of 1888 H street
NV, representative of the Summers
Co., said the project would employ
about 1000 men for a year and that
it had been decided to give prefer.
ence to Maryland residents. An ap-
pl1cation for approval of the project
as limited-dividend corporation is
understood to be pending before the
Federal Housing Administration,
Construction will start immediately
upon receiving approval by the F.
H. A. and the Park and Planning
Commission, he said.
Plans for the proposed settlement
which in size will approximate Co.
lonial Village in Virginia and Brent
wood Village in the District. provide
for two-story brick apartments of
three to five rooms and renting from
$50 to $50 month, according to Mr..
Martin. The settlement is in no
sense slum clearance project as
the land Is used at present only for
farming. The buildings will be of
modern, freproof construction, and
the grounds Handicapped to fit In with
the surrounding area. Howard
Burton, chief engineer and architect
for the company, participated in the
conference yesterday.

Washington Chests Stand.

Col. Robert Fletcher, chairman
OF the Washington Community
Chest committee which handles
the Alexandria agencies, explained
the Washington Chests stand on
the withdrawal Of the Alexandria
agencies and asserted that Alexan-
dria has never given as much to the
Chest as was allotted to it.
Figures were released by the
Washington Chest to show the part
the designation system played in
the appropriations. It was explained
that more was designated than the
amount allotted only where the
Budget Committee of the Chest had
already decided on the amount to
be appropriated to the agency.
The five Alexandria agencies had
the following appropriations and al
lotments for this year:
Alexandria Boys Club, $2,500 ap-
propriated; $1,188.75 designated.
Alexandria Girls Club, 5000 ap-
propriated; $638 SO designated.
Alexandria Girl Scouts, 500 ap-
propriated; $298 designated.
Social Service League, $3.50 ap-
propriated; $2,2s282 designated.
Hopkins House, $3.50 appropri-
ated; $413.02 designated.
Not Enough Funds.
1--WE regret very much that the
arrangement was not satisfactory
to some of the Alexandria agencies"
Col. Fletcher said. THE fact of the
matter was that there wasn't enough
money to 90 around. We didn't
make our campaign goal and so all
appropriations had to be cut down.
There never has been enough money
from Alexandria to meet the needs
Of their agencies and the Washing
ton Chest has always lost because
Of that"
He explained that one Of the
tenets of the Chest was to have
only one drive for funds q year. Be-
cause there has not been enough
money to meet the needs Of Alex
andria, some Of the agencies, he
said, wanted to put on additional
drives individually which the Wash
mgton Chest couldn't agree to.
Col. Fletcher made 1t clear that
the arrangement had been made
without controversy on the part of
the Chest or the Alexandria
agencies.
He pointed out that approxi-
mately $10,500 was collected In
