The appeal of the Washington radio hospital fund committee for contrl- butions with which to make up a de- fcit and . recondition radio receiving sets it Installed eral years ago in 40 hospitals, charitable institutions and orphan asylums in the District has produced it was an- nounced today Herbert T. Shan- aon, treasurer. The committee asked for approxi mately $2,600, of which $2,000 is to be wised to replace and repair disabled 1adio sets in the 40 institutions. The remaining $600 is needed to pay ex- penses incurred when its benefit radio show on February 19 had to be called «ff_on account of a snowstorm. The sets which the committee wants t repair serve 7,000 bed patients. Many «of these “shut-ins,” it is pointed out, are being deprived of radio entertain- 1nent because the committee is with- «ut funds to put the radio apparatus 1x operating condition. The, committee is depending entirely on public contributions to repair the sets and meet its unfortunate deficit since every attempt to ra the money through benefit performances has been unsuc ul. Contribu- tlons should be sent to Mr. Shannon t Room 208 Colorado Building, purteenth and G street. The largest contribution amount- i1g_to $100; was received from Mrs. H. M.
