CHRISTIANS, JEWS
 UNITE IN CANVASS
United Church Appeal to Greatly Air War Suffer-
 CTS Overseas

For the first time in history, six- teen communions and creeds, Christian and Jewish, are joining in a united appeal to the nation this winter. Designated as the United Church Canvass, the effort aims to call Americans to renew their allegiance to the church of their choice and to support their churches more adequately in . financial way.
 President Roosevelt has en- dorsed the high purpose of the United Canvass. Tn 8 letter to the Presiding Bishop of the Episco- pal Church. Bishop H. St. George Tucker, the president halls the project as admirable and expressed his conviction that it would have immense value.
 The churches efforts in the in- terests of relief of civilian wal sufferers overseas and the armed forces will be part of the effort in many places. Full cooperation of the Committee on Foreign Re- lief Appeals in the Churches is being given and some denomina- tions will use the periods of the United Canvass to raise their wal emergency funds.
 Heading the United Canvass na- toinally is a strong and represen- tative sponsors committee under the able chairmanship of Charles E. Wilson. former president of General Electric company and now vice chairman of the War Production Board in Washington The denominational planning com nittee is headed by the Rev. Earl F. Adams, D. D., of the Northern Baptist Church.
 The United Canvass plan Wa; projected after extended studies of the effects of the war upon financial efforts of the churches The pressure of war emergency ap. peals. government bond drives taxes and the dislocation of vast numbers of Americans from their normal lives. impressed church leaders with the necessity of unit ed action during this war period
 Something of the magnitude oi the task is indicated by the fact that American churches require $500 .oOO,0 annually for their normal programs. The United Canvass is designed to impress A..n-taa,,e Sr,itb fhn iFnnOrtance Oi continuing full support of theii churches, in spite of the heavy financial demands of other efforts
 The response to the United Can. vass proposal has been widespread reports to the planning committed and denominational headquarter' indicating that in every part ol the country communities are ar ranging for a united approach.

Board emphasizes the Importance

alerts. The Board reports that
some people in the past apparently

in the Evergreen Bowl continued
to play tennis and baseball instead
of seeking shelter as instructed.
Said Director Frank A. Metcalf ::
THE Defense Board has no wish
to take drastic action against those
who unwittingly fail to observe the
ordinance governing the holding of
alerts, but at its recent meeting
emphasized its intention to compel
willful violators ito comply fully
with the emergency ordinance

Amount Because of
War Conditions

WASHINGTON, May 25-Slash-
ing approximately $185,000000 from
the total budget because war con-
ditions permit it, the President to-
day asked Congress to appropriate
only $280,000,000 for work in relief
for the year. starting July l, plus
S2,767,000 for administrative eX-
penses.
He had estimated tentatively in
the budget message to Congress in
January that $465, 100000 would be
needed.
In his message today he said that
the legislation should permit for
an average monthly employment OF
about 100000, although it is esti-
mated that. there are still some
three million unemployed.
