S250,O00 Is SET
As D. +. Goal for
Soldier Welfare
Committee Is Named
To Work Out Details
Of Campaign

A campaign to raise $3.50, 900 to
meet religious welfare and recrea-
tional needs of men in the armed
forces in and near Washington, and
to finance groups assisting the pro-
gram, was planned today at a con-
ference of a score of spokesman for
District civic and welfare groups.
The national campaign quota has
been placed at s10,765, 900.
A tentative organization was ef-'
fected at the meeting with the Dis
trict Commissioners and Coleman
Jennings, past president of the
Washington Community Chest, was
named chairman of a committee
which will nominate permanent Of
ficers for the campaign group and
suggest other organizational details.
Other members of the planning COM
mittee are James E. Collif1ower,
president of the Board of Trade;
Walter ClarkSon. president of the
Travellers Aid Society, and District
Welfare Director Robert E. Bondy.
Need for Speed Stressed.
Commissioner John Russell Young,
who presided at today's conference,
stressed the necessity for speed
since the campaign, which is to be
a part of a national campaign
sponsored by the United Service
Organizations, is scheduled to start
June 3. President Roosevelt and
Wendell L. Willkie are to make ap-
peals in support of the national com!
paign. The United Service Organi-
cations plan to establish more than
300 service clubs in places adjacent
to camps, naval bases and defense
centerS.
Under the U. S o. plan, the Dis
trict quota would be $145, 900, but
spokesmer for local groups empha-
sized that many District civic and
welfare agencies, public and private,
are seriously in need of funds to
carry on activities already under
way under guidance of the District
Defense Council
1t was tentatively agreed that
the local campaign objective should
be made about s250,000 to cover all
needs. A budget committee will be
set up to plan the fund requirements
and proposed ALLEGATIONS in detail
prior to the beginning of the fund
drive.
Pledges Of Cooperation.
Pledges of cooperation were
voiced by many of the group spokes-
men. Mr.. Jennings said:
This is not an optional thing-it
is something that Washington Just
has to do. Whether the total need
is one quarter million or motive will
have to go and get it."
Maj. Charles Dodd of the Saliva
ton Army described how his organi-
zation, Y. M. C. A. and Y. w. C. A.,
Jewish agencies and other groups
now were striving to meet the needs
with present facilities and only nor
NAL funds. When the military camp
construction program is finished he
estimated there would be 100000
men from camps within 70 miles of
Washington coming here on leave.
I'VE have a greater duty than
merely to tell these boys to go
straight we must offer them facili-
ties " he said.
Mr.. Colliflower said the Board of
Trade would give wholehearted sup
port to the campaign. and Fred
Smith first vice president of the
trade body, said he saw no reason
why the campaign group should not
be able to do "a good job"
