Chest Federation
Al Crossroads Bell
Tells Annual Meeting

The Community Chest Federation
is now at o Crossroads" Daniel
W. Bell, president, told the first
annual meeting yesterday in the
Commerce Department auditorium.
"one road leads to o stronger,
more effective, more eficient and
more economical federation Of
money raising and spending for
health and welfare purposes" he
said. "The other road leads to dis
integration."
Mr.. Bell pointed out that the
campaign failure last fall already
has led the Hospital Council to
announce 1t must seek additional
funds for 194S. Whether this win
be an annual additional independ-
ent campaign, he went on, will be
answered by response to the 194s
campaign this fall.
Campaign Report Filed.
A financial report submitted to
the meeting listed receipts In last
falls campaign as totaling 1929
s77. The amount sought was 3d.
100000.
Commenting on some Of the criti.
cisms against the Chest during the
last two years, Mr.. Bell said thai
whenever they were justified, efforts
have been made to correct the situa.
tions from which they grew. Bu'
"the criticism that hurts is tina
which is based on an erroneou
conception of the purposes OF thu
Chest" he declared.
AS for the often-heard observa
ton the Chest should return to frs
principles and stick to Embarrassing
for strictly charitable purposes, HI
said the record does not show an!
such original conception.
Mr.. Bell called for realistic budg
citing" and constant alertness TO
economies OF operations Of tn

Comparisons Drawn.
He said, in considering the CAM
paign for next years funds, some
comparisons drawn in last falls
campaign with the average of other
cities raising $2,500,000 or more
should be noted:
For every 100 persons In the coun-
try, 23 as q national average gave
to the Community Chests. In the
Washington area Is Of each 100
contributed.
The national per capital contri-
button to all Chests combined was
1921, whereas the one in this area
was $2.55
Mr.. Bell also cited these statistics:
Last year 1888 900 Government en-
ployes here, except for special givers,
gave an average of $3.50 and a per
capita gift of 1923. There was a
90 per cent participation by Gov
ernment employees.
Employees of business, on the
other hand, participated only to the
extent of 40 per cent, with an aver
age gift of $4.es and a per capita
gift of $1.S7 for the total number
of employees.
Last year was the first year of
operation by the federation as a
permanent organization. The Com
munity War Fund went out of busi-
ness on December 81, 1s46.

ELk5 SLAUGHTER
 DOUGLAS SQUAD;
 MOOSE WIN THIRD
RoIison Swdtied for Nine teen Hits-Werner Gets
 Z Homers in Game

Throwing the machine into high gear the last of the fourth inning of yesterday afternoons game the Elks slaughtered the Douglas ball club in the opener by 25 to 3 score when Snow and Werner fired homers over the right field fence. in the single inning the Douglas hurlers, Kalakay and Krause, were tagged for six hits and eight Elks katsmen crossed the plate for mark CTS. In the fifth the Elks were slowed down, scoring only seven runs, and the sixth Werner and Cantillon capped the affair by banging cut two more homers which assisted with bringing in five runs for that heat. It was then suggested by several fans that the score board operator be sup piled with an electric tabulator.
 The Douglas squad, being com pletely outclassed throughout the game, made a stand only once when they brought in four runs in the fourth. Dotson, Douglas short, was outstanding for the team.

Salisbury Would Abandon Seward Railroad Line

The kenai pattern may give other areas in Alaska the answer.
 The Kenai, Salisbury claimed, is not readily adaptable to rail trans portation. The rugged, mountain ous terrain is harsh strain on the railroad. Grades are excessive; cars must labor up inclines. Trains must be divided and boosted over humps and nursed around curves" he wrote.
 This results in special handling. extra equipment, and slow sched- ules-all of which jacks up the cost of operating and hikes the overall freight rates.
 "In the final analysis, it (the Seward Division of the Railroad) becomes a subsidy paid by the in- duStry and commerce of Alaska in order to sustain an uneconomic operation" Salisbury maintained. "In the main. it has been a sym pathetic consideration for the Vel fare of the SeWardites which has weighed most heavily in the con tlnuance of this white elephant despite the overwhelming evidence regarding it's prodigal nature.'
 The Kenai's lone advantage is the ice-free deep water port at Seward, he contended.
 Cutting off the Seward section of the railroad, however, does NOT meaning abandoning the kenai. Salisbury m d 6 plain. Pus h through the road network from Seward and Homer to Anchorage. he advocated. In fact, the Kenai highway system deserves more funds to build a better roadway.
