Chest Goal Set at S., 200, 900
Due to Increased Living Costs

The money collected in the 1941
campaign was for the support OF 83
agencies and there now are 125
agencies in the Federation.
In 1941 eight hospitals shared in
the disqualification Fund. Today is
hospitals are sharing in the fund.
The increase in population in
the National Capital area during
the last five years is major item
in Chest activities. Census Bureau
figures show that the total metro
politan are population has increased
from about Lotto, 900 in 1941 to l.
$4,000.
More people has meant more calls
on Chest agency services. Despite
the fact there is more money in cir
culation than before the war, Chest
agencies are receiving more pleas
for help than ever.
Reserve Fund.- Exhausted.1s 3
The housing shortage here, for
example, has made It necessary for
people t0 i've Under conditions that
tend to cause friction that leads to
family disturbances. Then, too,
prosperity itself often brings about
social welfare problems. More, not
fewer children, are neglected while
parents work and there is conse-
quent increase in juvenile delin-
quency. Old persons and the sick
cannot benefit from job opportuni-
ties.
In previous years, it was ex-
planned, the Chest has had reserve
funds that were available for emer-
gencies or unforeseen expenses. These
reserve funds accumulated when ex-
penses, which it was said were
largely administrative, were not as
great as had been expected.
Held in reserve, these funds were
retained as a backlog for the time
when outgo might exceed income.
Last year when the Chest fell short
of its goal, these reserve funds car
ried it through.
Now, Chest officials point out, the
bottom Of the barrel has been
scraped. The funds are exhausted.
Less Than Last Goal.
The goal this year is $770,0 900 lower
than last years, since many Of the
War Fund agencies are no longer
members of the Chest. Except for
the USO funds, which will be used
to help finance USO services for oc-
cupation forces abroad and in this
country. all of the money raised this
year will be used to carry on the
vital services of agencies in this
area.
The figure of $4,000, 900 was fixed
after each of the 1875 agencies made
careful study of its needs and
submitted to its local Chest Budget
Committee the most conservative
budget possible. These committees
reviewed the budgets and, in turn,
submitted to the federation Budget
Committee the amounts needed In
their areas.
Since the goal represents the
minimum requirements of the
agencies it must be reached and
exceeded as much as possible, DAN
iel w. Bell, chairman Of the fed
Grafton campaign, has emphasized,
if the agencies are to be able to con-
tinue serving the community.

Poison Analysis Fails

Mercury Killed Two
By the Associofed Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 16.-Dr. r
N. Karger, toXicologist for the IN

said today he could not say definitely
that two Dupont GndD persons in

died OF that poisoning.
Certain circumstances have come
up which must be investigated
further before a definite statement
can be made" said the doctor. 1T

Might Have Come From Medication.
The amount OF mercury found
in Mr.. Giddings' body was too low
for acute mercury poisoning" said
DR.. Harger. However, the amount
was not normal. There were indi-
cations of slow mercury poisoning
which might have come from medi-
cation"
Concerning Mrs. MCCONNELL S case.
the doctor said the evidence was
typical Of mercury poisoning, that
there was 80 times the amount Of
mercury in her kidneys as was found
in Mr. Giddings' kidneys
However, this could come from
medication, nontoXic organic COM

Reds Deny Army Move
In Reply 10 British
By the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Moscow
radio today denied reports it SAID
had been published abroad to the
effect that Soviet troops were being
concentrated on the northern bor-
der Of Iran in reply" to the move
ment of British Indian troops to
the Iraq port of Basra, near Iran S
southwest frontier.
The Broadcast quoted the official
Russian news agency Tass as say
ing it had been authorized to state
that these reports are "a proyoca-
tional fabrication.
The British government has said
the troops being sent to Basra are
merely requirements for the gar
rison which has been stationed
there and that the movement is in
accord with treaty agreements be-
tween the two countries.
1ranian Ambassador Hussein Ala
said Tuesday he had received some
reports that the Russians had con-
centrated troops in the Caucasus
north of Iran, but that his in
formation did not indicate the pur-
pose of the concentration.
TEHERAN, Aug. 16 (P,.-The
Teheran radio last night said Brit
ain had formally denied that Indian
troops in the Iraq city of Basra
on the Iranian border, have in
structions to enter Iran for any
reason.

statement was made in a note
replying to Trans demand that the
troops be withdrawn.

Office refused to confirm or deny
