S4,2OO,OOO Goal Set
For Area Chest Drive

The Washington area Community
Chest drive, which opens in October
has been assigned compromise
goal of $4,000 midway between
anticipated gift receipts based on
last years contributions and mini
mum budget needs, it was an
nounced today by Daniel w. Bell,
campaign chairman.
Patrick H. Butler, jr., chairman of
the Budget Committee, told Com
munity Chest leaders $4,672 $50 was
"the absolute minimum figure which
could meet actual needs" pointing
out that his committee had pared
requests from an original total of
1888 1852.
Campaign units, after a study of
last years gift breakdown, estimated
the 1916 drive could not expect re-
ceipts in excess of $1,000 900, but the
Community Chest Federation settled
upon the s4,200,000 figure as sym
pathetic to agency needs, and yet
realistic in making the appeal to the
community"
Increased population IN the WaSn-
ington Metropolitan Area and pay
raises recently awarded to Govern
ment workers and in many private
businesses were cited as justificati ton
for an upward revision of estima ted
contributions this year.
Nine campaign units will divide
responsibility in raising the funds
this year. In Washington, business,
Government, residential and special
gift units have been set up, while
the areas of Alexandria, Arlington
Fairfax, Montgomery and Prince
Georges have committees of their
own.
The quotas to be assigned to these
units will be decided at a meeting
to be held some time this week.

Probers Seek to Solve Mystery
Of $4,000 War Surplus Boxes

Senate War Investigating Com
mittee agents today set out to solve
the mystery of the contents of
$4,000 boxes which a committee
member said he was informed have
gathered dust and storage charges
for year. while War Assets Ad-
ministration officials have been de-
Gliding what to do with them.
The investigation was ordered by
Chairman Mead of the committee
after Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, said he had heard
about the boxes lying in a Detroit
warehouse.
Senator Ferguson, demanding a
prompt and thorough investiga-
ton" said he had been informed
that before the boxes were declared
surplus by Army ordnance officials,
they had lain in Storagesin the Ord
nance Department for AN unde-
termined length of time"
S14,3O4 Year Storage.
He said he had heard that no
accurate information was available
on the contents of the boxes and
that the few boxes which have been
opened contained miscellaneous
small tools and some junk.
Il am also informed" he added
that there has been a great deal
of delay in deciding what to do
with these boxes and their contents,
and that while the delay goes on,
the cost of storage goes on at the
rate of approximately $14,304 per
year"
In February, 1916, he said he had
been told, panel of representatives
of the War Assets Administration
met to decide what to do with the
boxes-whether they should be sold
sight-unseen as scrap or whether
the boxes should be opened and
their contents inventoried before
sale.
1t was estimated at that time, he
said, that the cost of opening the
boxes was SO per box or total of
$4,000
Sees Example of Waste.
81 have been informed he said,
that at present the War Assets
Administration is in the process of
opening 1000 of these boxes as a
test run; that the contents appear
to be disable items, rather than
scrap, and that the estimated cost
of opening the boxes is so cents
instead of SO per box"
Listing seven questions he thought
should be answered, Senator F'ergu-
son said that, in his opinion. these
facts, if true, constitute an example
of waste in the disposal of surplus
Government property through pro-
crastination and lack of decision on
the part of Government officials
which ought not to be tolerated"

MIR. Truman, the Senators said,
paid lengthy tribute to Senator
Barley. He said. in effect, that
he did not know how the admin
istration could have functioned
without the majority leader and
that he knew of no one who could
have filled that position half so we'll.
He traced in some detail Senator
Barkley's long record of service to
the late President Roosevelt and
himself-a tenure which began dur
ing the historic fight over the court
reorganization bill in 1887, when
Senator Barley took over as ma
jority leader on the death from
heart attack of Senator Joseph T.
Robinson of Arkansas.
The President expressed conf
dence that, with Senator Barkleys
leadership. the administration
would continue to get the bulk of it's
legislative program enacted into law
Other speakers, all of whom fol-
lowed the general lines of the
Presidents tribute, were Senate
President Pro Tempore Mcclellan
and Senators Wagner of New York,
Connally OF Texas and George of
Georgia.

68-year-old Kentuckian, a veteran of
SO years in the Senate and House,

Truman had taken over in the most
difficult period which ever confront
ed man entering the White House

He predicted the Democratic ad-
ministration would enjoy a high
measure of success with It's legis-
lative program, and that the Demo-
Gratis would INCREASE their margins

fall elections.

think on these things. A Bible ci-

Psalms 81: Is, %, 81. The Lord

good loses all sense of evil, and by
reason of this is being ushered into
