doing all this and more for us as our
agent and they must have sufficient
funds to carry on. The dollar we used
to give to this cause must be two dol
lars today to do the same work. They
are supporting many agencies and we
are asked to give only once each year.
If the Chest did not exist and these
agencies had to solicit funds inde-
pendently. the cost for collection would
be up to Is per cent of the amount
collected.
What should we tell our neighbor who
says he will not contribute because
certain aspects of the Chest do not
please him? He may think that hos
pitalization for the INDECENT is a good
cause, but that the Chest wastes"
money for education of the public in
ways to prevent poverty, heart disease,
venereal disease, blindness or deafness.
The money which is spent for the pre-
vention of disease and delinquency
brings many times greater benefits
than the mere keeping of body and
soul together after the crash has oc-
Cured
We may disagree about other mat
ters in the conduct of the Chest, but
we must remember that the funda-
mental idea behind the Chest is that
such disagreements are of far less i'm
portance than the unity of a single
common appeal. No great undertaking
ever pleased everybody. Everybody
makes mistakes. The Community Chest
may have made some, but they will not
be repeated Every one is agreed that
the Chest should continue to embrace
broad range of health. welfare edu-
cational and recreational service agen-
cies. The community must have an
inteiligently integrated social program.
Good citizenship demands that we in
terest ourselves in this annual solicit
tation for funds and that we persuade
our neighbor that the Chest is help
ing him to keep well, helping to make
his neighborhood safe, helping him to
experience that spiritual satisfaction
which will come if he embraces the
privilege to give to a cause which helps
humanity.

Gypsum companies already have
made substantial savings in the

WASHINGTON Rt-Hstory and
their own slim majority in both
houses are enough to make the
Republicans worry about the out
come of the Nov. 2 congressional
elections. Worried they seem to be.
A squad Of Republican leaders
descended on President Eisenhow-
er's vacation spot last week for a
conference. Afterwards it was
learned Eisenhower will make
more speeches than he seems to
have intended.
Thirty-seven Senate seats and
1872 House seats are at stake in
November. Maine has already
elected a Republican senator and
three House members.
Going into these elections for a
new Congress, the Republicans In
the present Congress have a mar
gin of only two Senate seats over
the Democrats and margin OF
only three in the House.
In a presidential election year,
when a party's candidate wins the
White House through his own wide
popularity, a number of his par
tvs candidates for Congress ride
in on his coattails.
Eisenhower sensational victory
in 1852 has been credited with
sweeping his Republicans into con-
troll of House and Senate although
even at that they barely made it
in both places.
But. since this Is 2 mid-term
election and Eisenhower's name
won't be on the ballot, they'll have
to depend on themselves, their
party's record and such help as
the party and Eisenhower can give
them.
Knowing their edge in both
houses is paper-thin, they know
also that additionally in a mid
term election the party controlling
Congress loses strength.
They can't afford to lose much
this year without losing control of
Congress.
Nine times in the 10 mid-term
elections since 1914 the party with
a majority in the House lost some
seats. The exception was 1884 when
the Democrats picked up strength.
President Roosevelt, elected two
years before, had just begun to
get his New Deal rolling.
Three times in those 10 mid
term elections the party control
| ling the House lost control of it:
the Democrats lost it in 1918 (Dem-
ocratic President Wilson was in
the White House,; the Republicans
lost in 1880, in the last half of
Republican Pres mt Hoov-
er's term; and the Democrats lost
| it again in 1916 when Democrat
Harry Truman was president.
Eight times in thos 10 mid-term
elections the party controlling the
Senate lost seats and twice lost
control of the Senate altogether:
in 1918 and 1916.
Eisenhower long ago, itFseems
made up his mind that while he
would make a few speeches this
year to help his Republicans he
would do it in a general way, ma
tionally.

VATICAN CITY-tRadio, Nc

their Bishops.
The degree explains that the
dispensation was granted at the
request of many Bishops. They
made the request, the decree
says, because the last dey of the
