UCS Budget Unit
Trims Agency Funds
To Fiji Unmet Goal

The budget committee Of
United Community Services is
trying to slice a lean pie among
the Red Feather agencies in the
District as a result of failure Of
the 1854 fund campaign.
The local agencies will get
$2,326.219 from the Metropolitan
Area fund collections. This figure
is $58,310 less than local agencies
got last year.
But there is q brighter side to
the picture. Because one agency
was withdrawn from Red Feather
support and because some funds
were invested last year in short
term Government securities. the
Budget Committee actually has
only about $25,936 less than last
year.

Mr. Haggerty stressed.
The trustees heard a report

ion that 'desegregation will test
how grand is the human spirit"

local cooperation had been attained
between whites and Negroes in ef-
forts to building a dual school
system. But he later showed them
figures which listed expenditures
on Negro and white education un-
der the segregated pattern.
Among other things the figures
revealed that during 1928 school

children and young people in the
