The campaign for $4,000 900 will
be started at varying times by the
different divisions during this
month, it was explained at Gov
ernment division luncheon yester-
day at the Statler Hotel. The Ad-
vance Gifts Division began first,
about week ago
Success of the drive here will be
a symbol" for success Of similar
drives throughout the Nation, G..
Rowland Shaw, Assistant Secretary
of State, declared to the Govern
ment division leaders yesterday.
Problems Cited.
At the same time, he said, Gov
ernment Office solicitors would have
an unusually hard time here be-
cause of the large percentage of
out-of-town workers not vitally
interested in the welfare of the
city itself. Herbert L. Willett, jr.,
executive director of the drive, sug-
gested that solicitors emphasize to
these Government workers that
United Nations relief and the
United Service Organizations are
included in the drive as well as local
welfare agencies.
Giving to the United Nations, Mr..
Shaw added lis matter of sheer,
elemental justice. Greece and some
OF the other countries have been
through experiences that we prob
ably will never be called upon to
go through. Those who have not
suffered should give with generosity
to those who have"
Support of the local agencies too
might help to clear up conditions
IN which Washington is now a bad
rather than a good example to the
rest OF the country, Mr.. Shaw con-
tinued. He cited juvenile delin-
quency as a condition which might
be improved by support of the Dis
trlct Boys Clubs and other agencies
included in the drive.
Solicitors Warned.
The underpinnings of the Capi-
tai Of the Nation are now of far
greater significance than ever be-
FORE Mr.. Shaw said. "All of us
know that Washington is far from
an ideal community, even judged
by charitable Standards"
Mr.. Willett warned Government
solicitors that many employees claim
they have TO contribute in their
home State as well as in Washing
ton. He has discovered by inpesti-
cation. he said, that few of these
T people ever contribute to the drive
at all He also asked that Govern
ment workers be urged to contribute
here where they work rather than
the outside counties in which thev
may live
