Negroes Top Quota by Several
Hundred Dollars In l947
Community Chest Campaign
A. L. Rice Chairman;
Asked to Raise 50, 500;
Raised $5,2O6.43.


In an interview with Rev. A. L.
Rice, Chairman of the Colored Di-
vision of the Community Chest
Drive, it was learned that Negroes
of Jackson had to date raised more
than $4,000 over their accepted
quota of $4,000 in the recent Com
munity Chest campaign
Mr. Rice said, when Mr.. Jones
and Mr. Eason of the Campaign
Executive Committee asked the
colored workers to raise $4,000 in
the Community Chest drive, they
accepted the challenge and before
these gentlemen left the room,
someone said, Lets make it $4,000,
and to date Negro workers have.
raised $5,2O6.43."
According to Mr.. Rice, the col
ored workers had no plans nor Or
ganization at the beginning of this
drive, but steps have already been
taken to perfect such an organiza-
ton, inasmuch as the Community
Chest Campaign is an annual af-
fair, and meeting has been called
for Monday, Dec. 2, at which time
plans will be discussed for the next
drive. All staff workers are urged
to attend this meeting to be held
at the branch YWCA.
Mr. Rice further stated that two
difficulties clouded their way in
this present drive, insufficient or
ganization and insufficient publicity
and at times they were filled with
serious doubts about meeting the
accepted quota.
However, hard work and less.
sleep successfully brought not only
the desired amount but some 500
over and with the extension of the
campaign and more reports to be
made, it is possible that the quota
will be topped more than a thous-
and dollars.
Mr.. Rice also extended his thanks
to his staff for doing fine job
and sincere appreciation to all who
made contributions.
Some white people made their
contributions to the Chest through
colored workers and that was a
fine thing to do,
The five Negro agencies that are
benefited by the Community
Chest are the branch YWCA, YMCA
Boy and Girl Scouts and the Fam
liz Association service.
This is the second year that A.
LRice has acted as chairman of
this campaign and both years the
Negroes have gone ayay over their
accepted quotas.
Appeals went forth to all the
churches in Jackson, but only ii
responded to the invitation to help
in the Community Chest Drive. Our
pastors would help their churches,
themselves, and all our people by
teaching them to share in any move
ment aimed at improving the lot
of all the people in Jackson
When the invitation comes to you
again, my brethren, we hope you
will respond in large way.

Fiscal Controls
cWashington Pcst)

Washington PcsD
 Among the recommendations of the Joint Com mtee on the Organization of Congress is a proposal for strengthening fiscal controls. The proposal will recommend itself to many critics of the present hap hazard system of voting appropriations without setting overall limits to expenditures and without relating contemplated total expenditures to revenues Under the present divided authority with appropriations being considered by subcommittees of both House and Senate and responsibility for raising similarly shared by multiple committees, Con- gress cannot have general fiscal policy undertake to follow any general policy.
 It is recommended therefore, that the Revenue and Appropriation Committees of both houses be Qired to submit to Congress by April Is estimates of overall receipts and expenditures for the coming fiscal year. If it turns ont that prospective outlays are greater than estimated total receipts, Congress would then be required to approve the creation of additional Federal debt to the deficit In total appropriations exceeded the budget figure approved by Congress it is further recommended that appropriations, exclusive of certain fixed and perma nent obligations be reduced by uniform percentage to bring them within the overall limit.
 Valid objections be raised think, to any cut-and- dried formula for uniform percentage cuts in appropriations suggested. But there is a crying need for comprehensive survey of the kind proposed to enable Congress control expenditures effectively and relate them to income prevew of this sort would not only to check extravaganza, but it would result in a better balanced spending program The existing system of divided authority makes it much easier for departments, agencies and special interest groups successfully press their claims for funds in disregard of the demands that being urged by other groups If all such spending proposals brought together and subjected to scrutiny, the chances for equitable apportonment of funds would be greatly improved.
