Business Group Calls
For Thorough Inquiry
Into D. {. Area Chest

A thorough investigation of the
Washington area Community Chest
was called for last night by the
Southeast Businessmen's Associa-
ton. e.
Vernis Absher, who introduced a
resolution demanding the inquiry,
said contributors had right to
know more about the Chests finan-
lcial setup, personnel and member
agencies Louis F. Frick, association
secretary, said a study of the Chest
might uncover some member agen-
cies that didn't merit public support.
Mr.. Prick added that businessmen
realized during the recent campaign
that they needed TO know more
about the Chest because they acted
as collectors of their employees con-
tributions.
1t is. planned to organize a COM
mittee that will seek access to the
Chests books for the study, Mr.
Frick said. The Federation of Busi-
Inessmen's Associations is expected to
take action on the proposal at a
meeting tomorrow night.
Herbert Willett, jr., executive di-
rector of the Washington area
Chests, said today he would welcome
an investigation and would show the
businessmen anything they want. u
He discounted the suspicion that
some agencies should have been ex-
cluded from the Chest.
eff any agency is making con-
tributlon either in prevention of So
cial ills in the future or in picking
up the places in the present, we feel
it has place in the Chest" he said.

NEW IBERIA, La, Jan. IA
Lanky Willie Francis, 17-year-ole
convicted slayer, is rubbing elbows
with death today but he's fright
interested to find out If can die
like the man I thought I was"
The colored youth, who once
cheated the electric chair when q
mechanical malfunction allowed him
to walk away from it alive, was
singularly cool when he learned
that the Supreme Court had ruled
him subject to another trip to the
chair.
It always sort of wondered if
was a brave man." he said here
today.
Nov 7 guess maybe I'm gonna
find out. And I'm gonna find out
the hard way, Boss, so there won't
be no doubt in my mind when
leave. A lot of men never find out
A lot of men die still wondering
if they was the men they thought
they was
Told by his attorney, Bertrand S
De Blanc, that a motion will be
filed for another Supreme Cour'
hearing, Francis said simply:
"It's the same thing. The same
old thing. A mans got to die some
time and I reckon my time has
plumb done come" Earlier he said
the same thing to Sheriff Gilbert
Ozenne, who brought the news o1
the unfavorable Supreme Court de.
cision to him in his parish jail cell.
Francis smilingly refused thu

Wartime finance had to be con-
Quoted ION scale and with a lib
erality unrelated to peacetime
the former flnancier and
publisher of the Washington Post
said in a speech before the Cana
dian Club.
Now that we are in the transi-
tion from war to peacetime finance
consideration must be given to the
careful use of credit"
Like some helpful and healing
drugs, credit when misused can be-
come the most demoralizing, disin-
tegrating and destructive agency,
said Mr.. Meyer, who resigned the
bank presidency last month.
He added, however. that despite
considerable discussion" over his
reason for resigning-which includ-
ed some speculation that he dis
agreed with the 12-nation Board OF
Directors on the liberality OF the
banks lending policy-the real rea-
son and the only reason" was the
one he gave at the time.
This, Mr.. Meyer said, was thai
his job of organizing and starting
the $4,000, 900, ,000. reconstruction
bank had been completed and .
felt that the moment had arrived
when the permanent president ol
the bank should be appointed"
