Morris Prods
City on United
Fund Drive

The time has come for the
city's charities to combine with
national agencies in a United
Fund. E. X. Morris. general
chairman Of this years record
breaking Community Chest cam
Ipaign, said today.
Mr.. Morris said he is convinced
that the Washington public is
sold on the united way Of Civ
ing" He said the success Of this
years campaign Is sign Of this,
but he said the campaign would
have been even more successful
except that contributors are GET
ting fed up with too many
drives"
Mr.. Morris amplified remarks
he made yesterday to the Board
of Directors of the Community
Chest Federation. The directors
yesterday approved ALLEGATIONS OF
$4.0S5. 268 to the six individual
Washington area chests and the
lUSO for their 1856 activities.
John 8. Hayes. federation presi-
dent. presented the figures ut the
meeting in the Hotel Statler.
Hygiene Group Excluded
At the same time. the directors
voted down q request from the
American Social Hygiene Asso-
citation to be included in the
budget ALLEGATIONS. The directors
said that as long as local agencies
were as short Of needed money
as they are. national agency ap-
Ipeals must wait.
But, they said. formation Of q
more inclusive United Fund. like
the one Mr.. Morris referred to,
probably would help ease such
national agency appeals.
Mr.. Morris pointed to the fact
that many Government agencies
and private businesses already
have set UP their own one
package drives. This, he said,
is a sign that people want to cut
down on multiple appeals.
Greater Efficiency Seen
But q centralized service for
all these individual drives would
make them more efficient, he
said.
IF representatives Of the con-
tributors set up q united COM
munity fund corporation right
now. Government units, private
businesses and people in general
would flock to it." he said.
Right now is the time for
action" he emphasized.
The money split up yesterday
by the Federation is about 5Ia
per cent more than went to the
Chests last year.
Allegations Listed
Approximate ALLEGATIONS are
as follows:
Alexandria. $l80,567; Airing
ton, $158.001; Fairfax-Falls
Church. $139.417; Montgomery
County. $l92.5l2: Prince Georges
$l85.875; Washington UCS,
$2.468 million. and USO. $f23,-
900.
The federation directors elected
Caesar Aiello, a Chest worker
since the federation was orga-
nized in 1887. to be general
counsel. He succeeds Charles
Essinger Smoot. who resigned
because of the pressure of du-
ties at the Federal Communica-
tons Commission. Mr.. Smoot
remains on the board.
Mr.. Aiello. who was mayor of
Hyattsville from l948 to 1852,
lives at 5211 Forty-second place,
Hyattsville. A graduate of
Georgetown University, he has
been a leader in many civic &C.
tivities in addition to the Chest.
He Is q partner in the law firm
of Flannery, Craighill q Aiello.
These ALLEGATIONS represent
the bulk Of the money collected
in the successful Red Feather
campaign conducted during the

A MAN and two boys poke
through a pile of lath lying

once was a basement. They
put selected pieces into a sack

Youngsters have a ready

Autos hustle through the

tiers along drawing a wagon.
Men and women criss-cross
the vacant blocks, seemingly
with no destination, and paths
across some of these blocks
already mark the shortcuts.
Youngsters in a hurry to go

And it's all right in the mid

ing to be touched by the magic

What does this mean? The

the hem lengths hit just right.
and II there is fullness in the

all the fashion significance

BY THOMAS R. HENRY
Beetles Wear Green Overcouts

a rebellious slave was to tie
him hand and foot and leave
him in the jungle. Sooner or
later an ant army was bound
to find him. He would be
devoured in three or four
hours. There would be left
only inedible bones and hair.
Even now travellers In this
jungle are warned to keep out
of the way of an ant swarm.
This is easy enough. simply by
stepping out of the way.
Otherwise the militant insects.
swarming up the legs, are
likely to give one a highly un-
pleasant few hours. Such a
swarm has been compared with
a single giant and extremely
voracious animal whose body
is made up Of more than 100,-
900 semi-independent cells.
See Better Than Humans
Most conspicuous, however,
are the moths and butterflies.
The latter, it has been demon
strated, are able to see with
ultraviolet light, to which the
human eye is insensitive. re-
f1ected from blossoms upon
whose nectar they feed. They
see many things man Is in
capable of seeing. Often they
themselves are splendidly
camouflaged to become invisi-
Bile in the jungle or to present
the appearance of dangerous
animals. One blue-gray giant
moth has spots on its wings
which have the quite realistic
appearance of large, staring
eyes. An insect eater probably
would hesitate a long time
before diving on one of them.
A somewhat similar pattern is
common to several of the
smaller moths. Apparently it
IS not necessary for the giant
morphus with it's wing spread
of six inches, blue in the center
and gray-brown on the out
side, which is one of the most
conspicuous creatures of the
jungle daytime.
Especially in the summer
forest" close to the bottom of
the miSt-shrouded mountains,
trees are covered with big,
black wartlike excrescences-
nests of incredible multitudes
of jungle termites. They build
vestibuled roadways under the
bark from their nests to the
ground and appear reasonably
safe from all enemies until
there is puncture in the roof
of one of these passages. The
nests themselves hardly can be
broken by any natural enemy
of the yellow-bodied, black
headed antlike creatures.

right that the Army, the Navy and the
Air Force should stockpile SUFFICIENT sup
plies to meet calculated risks within rea-
son. But the commission discovered that
stacks and piles of some materials were
big enough to last many, many years.
Furthermore, instances were found Of
certain supplies being sold at give-away
prices as surplus, while other branches of
the Government were buying the same
types of supplies at market prices. Ade-
quate overall supervision and control of
supply operations could avert such costly
practices. The commission recommended
better coordination of purchasing and
surplus disposal work, reduction of existing
surplus stocks through inventory controls
and more efficient property management
in general throughout the Federal estab-
lishment. If It's estimate of resultant saw
ings reaching into the billions is fairly
accurate, the commissions report may
prove to be more important than most of
those that have preceded 1t.
