People are saying that 'the Community Chest"
may fail; that "the campaign" may fall short of it's

What they mean is that the people of the Wash

Chests the 10000 volunteers working to get the money
for support of 125 agenciestheSe merely the in
struments of the people. Failure to do what we have
set out to do will not be their failure It will be COM
munity failure.
We should do everything possible to avert it. Fail
ure would be bad thing for this community It's bur-
dens would come down most heavily on those least able
to bear them 1t would reflect dangerous lack of the
personal responsibility that every good citizen should
feel The standards of an intelligent progressive COM
munity are maintained only by its people. When they
do not meet their individual responsibilities as citizens
these standards decline
There are ways to avert failure One is to increase
the contributions. Many have been too small-mere
token payments lacking in substance lacking in good
will The Star has increased its contribution one
of the largest before inviting others to do So
Look into your heart again. Have you done every
thing you could? Have you carried your part of the
load? Have you given much as you feel you should
give?
You can help to prevent this failure If you will
increase contribution already made or if you have
not been solicited and ready to contribute do

|WAA Cracking Down
On Priority Misuses
In Buying Of Surplus
Violations by officioIs
Soid TO Ronee From
Neglect to CriminoIity'
By Robert K. Walsh

The War Assets Administration
announced last night it is crack
ing down on State, county and
municipal government officials
who misuse their priorities in
buying surplus property.
Abuses, ranging from neglect to
criminality," have become so numer-
Gus and in some instances so brazen
especially in several Midwestern
and Southern States-that WAA's
compliance enforcement division is
giving them preferential action, u
officials said.
Administrator Robert NJ. Little
john declared sit is doubly despica-
BILE when local government officials
who shoulder a public trust will en-
gage in such dishonest practices"
Indictments i'm Two Cases.
Reporting that indictments have
been returned in two cases, that 50
complaints are under investigation
by the FBI, and that the Justice
Department has presented several
other cases to local United States
attorneys for action, WAA cited the
specific instances:
"An automobile dealer purchased
surplus Army trucks on the pri-
ority of town, On authorization OF
the mayor, and resold them to the
general public at a profit. A Federal
grand jury returned individual in
dictments against the dealer and
the mayor and a conspiracy indict-
ment against both defendants. The
case is set for trial early in January
Another typical case concerns 9
county judge who at two successive
sales of surplus property purchased
10 motor vehicles c.-i turned then,
over to dealers i11--' resale.
"a county judge purchased nine
trucks and six automobiles under
an official priority and reSold then
to private individuals.
County Board Involved.
"a Board of County Commission.
ers permitted resale of surplus con.
struction equipment to a private
dealer. Investigation disclosed thai
the county over. a period of time hat
made purchases in the amount oi
$72. 2.554 but at the time of inyestiga.
ticon had only S24,568 worth ot
equipment in its possession AL
purchases of surpluses had beer
made on the county's priorities BY
the dealers"
