Two Meetings Called
To Weigh Conflicting
Chest Study Findings
Joint Committee Acts
Monday and Executive
Group on Tuesdoy
By Miriom Gutenberg

Two special meetings nave
been called for next week to
weigh the findings of the Citi-
zens' Community Chest Survey
Committee, which emerged yes
terday in a welter of conflicting
reports and statements, it was
learned today.
The eight members appointed to
the Joint Committee of the Chest
and Council of Social Agencies are
expected to consider the Citizens
Committee report Monday and the
Chest Executive Committee will
meet at pm. Tuesday.
A Chest spokesman said the Ex-
ecutive Committee could recommend
meeting of the Chest Board of
Trustees to act on the proposals and
criticisms contained in the majority
and minority reports of the Citizens
Committee.
In receiving the report, Lee D.
Butler. Chest president, said the
recommendation would be given the
fullest consideration by the Chest
Executive Committee and the trus-
tees.
Sees Problems Complex.
Mr.. Butler added that the inabil-
ity Of the Citizens Committee to
bring in a unanimous report "is in
itself an indication of the COM
plexity of the problems involved In
devising the most workable and ef-
fective means of meeting the health
and welfare needs of our COM
munity."
He referred to the disagreements
within the Citizens Committee
which so far have resulted in two
lengthy reports, three statements
and the promise of another report

signers, recommended discontinu-

dropped from the Chest.
Another minority, including fou1

a total of 881 Government workers
was dropped on loyalty charges.
The committee today did not give
President Truman the $24 100000 he
requested for his loyalty program,
stating that instead it would appro-
pirate money next week for the Rees
loyalty bill which was passed by the
House earlier this week.
The Rees bill, however. does not
appear to have much of a chance
to receive Senate consideration be-
fore Congress goes home next week.
Therefore, it is considered likely
that the appropriations group next

to carry out the provisions of his
order to investigate thoroughly all

job applicants.
