Goal Of 100000
lis Set by Chest
For Coming Drive
Compoisn Manager Says
Boost Is Necessary to
Keep Services at Level

A $4,000 900 goal to maintain well
fare services at their present level
was announced yesterday by the
Community Chest at the conclusion
of the first fall meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee.
J. Clifford Folger, general cam
paign manager, in announcing the
goal. said it was one which an in
creasingly prosperous Washington
should "be able to take in its stride"
Hopeful forecast for the campaign,
which opens November Is and runs
to November 81, was made by Cole
man Jennings. president of the
Chest. who presided at the meeting.
Mr.. Jennings based his forecast on
the early spring and summer cam
paigns held in other cities.
Demands Pile Up.
Far from decreasing the calls
made upon the agencies, Washing
tons boom has resulted in a piling
up of demands made upon them for
additional welfare services" Herbert
C. Willett, jr., director, said.
while it is true that there has
been increased employment, it is
equally true that the rapid expan-
sion in population has brought an
accompanying burden of new and
greater problems in human well
fare"
BY using funds made available
through post campaign pledges,
through better collections and
through end-of-the-year savings in
1910 agency budgets, Mr. Willett
pointed out, the Chest has been able
during 194l to make additional ap-
preparations sufficient to bring the
agencies up to the $4,000, 900 Level
for total welfare services.

tee that the Nations broadcasting
facilities were being used largely to
disseminate propaganda for war,

"Of course" Mr.. Miller said in a
letter to the committee, 1T is absurd

Mr.. Flynn are speaking of a prob

claim the Federal decree is being

ton before the committee, if any,
is whether the companies are pro-
ducing improper pictures. Let's see
