Prediction that the social agencies of | Washington will be more adequately i supported under thz Community Chest than under the old system of in- dividual fund campaigns was made last night by Elwood Street, director of the Washington Community Chest, in an address before the Monday Evening Club at the Y. W. C. A. He discussed the Community Chest from many angles, and declared he felt the movement had started auspiciously in this city. George 8. Wilscn, director of public welfare, welcomed t%:» Community Chest to Washington. He said the private wel- fare agencies would no doubt be more effectively ropresented by the Com- munity Chest. Th2 chest, he thought, would thus be a “great help” not only to the agencies, but to the whols pro- |gram of welfare work, represented in | both the private and public agencies.” Ufford Praiscs Director. Walter S. Ufford, secretary of the As- soclated Charities, who was chairman of the evening program, praised the new Community Chest director for having come to Washington, “the most difficult field as yet open and uncultivated” for the Community Chest. Mr. Ufford pre- dicted that the “gaps’in the social welfare program” in this city, which had been pointed out to the club in a recent address of Dr. Edward T. Devine, ican University, would be filled by the | now co-operation ant improved social welfare work of the city. In his prediction that Washington | would raise more by the Community Chest than the separate azencies had previously been able to do by them- selves, Mr. Street said that it has been the almost universal experiegce among Community Chests throughout the country that there had been an increase in the amounts communities contributed to social welfare wark when the chest was instituted. One Phase of Work. Mr. Street emphesized that the Com- mupity Chest had not come here to displace the social agencies already ex- isting, but that the chest was but one phase of social work. He said it raised the money, and distributed the funds “according to the needs of the organ- izations.” In this distribution, he said, every effort would be made to do it “fairly.” constructive suggestions, declarihg that he had come as the “servant” of social welfare work in Washington. The budget committee, which he said had been organized, with Charles J. Bell as chairman, was an_ excellent committee, one of the first factors in the success of any Community Chest. This committee, he said, had the large responsibility of gilving an adequate basis for fair distribution. The cam- paign committee had not yet been or- ganized, Mr. Street said, but he pre- dicted that “we will be able to raise any sum needed.” Among the factors for which the Com- munity Chest will stand, Mr. Street said, were an adequate number of well trained workers, plants of the agencies in good shape as going concerns, closer co-operation among people who are to work together in the chest, and im- provement in the opinion of the public for social work, and a more unified community. Says Fine Start Made. Although an excellent start was al- ready made, he said, there was need for better public understanding and for wider spread knowledge about the chest. He denied rumors that the Com- munity Chest would get a “rakeoff” on What it raised, declaring that the chess itself operated on a strict budget. He also answered some criticism, which he said he had heard previously, by saying emphatically that the Com- munity Chest was not designed “to run your own agencies.” s The director expressed ths hope an confidence that eventually Washington would become a model for social welfare work, the leading city toward which others would look for example. “A more united community should be a result of the Community Chest,” Mr, Street declared. ‘“Catholics, Jews and Protestants will work together in the campaign. Catholic, Jew and Prot- estant, and non-sectarian social agencies will co-ordinate their effyrts for the common good, the more readily becauce with their funds received from onc source there will be no occasion for competition ‘or for one agency with- holding service.” Meeting to Be Calléd. A meeting will be called shortly ia Washington, Mr. Street indicated, to which will be invited representatives of every organization in Washington, so- cial, religious, fraternal, business, civic and other organizations. “You have excellent social work here in Washington,” said Mr. Street, but it is inadequately financed.” He ex- pressed great confidence in the success of the campaign which is bzing organ- ized for next January.

Floyd Dell, novelist, playwright and critic, who is now engaged in a lec- ture tour under the: auspices of the Leigh-Emmerich League Bureau of New York City, will give a lecture on “Literature and Life” before the open forum of the Jewish Community Cen- ter, Sixteenth and Q streets, at 8:30 o’'clock tonight. Mr. Dell, author of “Moon Calf” and | other novels, who has wriiten exten- sively of th2 life and meanners of young people and of the siruggle between the old and new gcnerations, in speaking of the present drift in American litera- ture, £aid: “The world is chaotic, but great artists have been able to take the ugly things and make them a part of a beautiful whole. This aim to try to make things clear is completely re- jected by modernistic literature. On the other hsnd, what is attempted is to show that the world is chaos, and to reject the idea that it has any meaning.” ARGUES HIS OWN CASE IN MURDER, BUT LOSES By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 20.—Chung Yi- Miao, young Chinesz law student from New York, today lost his battle for his life, which he personally waged before the Criminal Court of Appeal. ‘The court this morning dismissed the young Chinese’s appeal from conviction and death sentence for the murder of his wife, Wai Sheung-Miao. Ske wes found strangled to death near Keswick shortly after the arrival of the couple in England on their hcneymoon. They had becn married in New York, where both had been students at Columbia University. The youngz Chinese was sontenced to to decath at Carlisle on Octcber 24.

With President-elect Hoover a pros- pective member of the little congrega- tion, the a -atlv. _ommittes of the old biick mec 'ng house of tie. Society of Priends, at 1817 I street,| faces two difficult problems, due to iis limited accommodations and to the na- ture of the services, Great numbers of -sight-seers and other curious persons always have been attracted to the Washington church at- tended by the President, espaciaily to services at which he has been present. The F.ionds' mesting house normally has room only for its own small congre- gation. Only by placing chairs in tk> rear and in both aisles can room be made for a maximum of about 275. With this number, the little church would be uncomfortably crowded. No Set Order of Cervices. ‘The other difficulty can be foreseen from the type of service h2ld. The congregation of this church are Hicks- ite Quakers, representing the liberal branch of this sect. There is no clergy- man, no set order of service and no fo:mal presiding officer. One cf the elders “sits at thz head of the meet- ing,” and his office includes keeping order. if this becomes necessary. The congregation first observes 10 or 15 minutes of silence, intended to be a period of intense communion with the Deity and of examination of their own consciences. After this period of si- lence any member of the mnfrezauon who feels that he has anything of a spiritual nature to communicate to the others rises and speaks. The remainder of the service is taken up entirely with such testimonials. Ordinarily there are no restrictions upon their length or subject matter. It is entirely up fo the judgment of the individual. He sveaks whatever is in his mind which he thinks will help any of th= others and has the greatest possible latitude in what he ays. If the testimonial is obviously im- proper, however, the presiding elder is supposed to stop the speaker as part of his function of keeping order. He nat- urally must use very discriminating judgment in exercising this office, bein; guided not by whether he himsell agrees with what is being said, but by whether or not it is foreign to a reli- glous gathering. He has no doctrinal code to guide him, since the Hicksite Qua'ers welcome to membership per- .S.AD S URGED FOR NEARAGLA Survey Made by Economist Cites Plan for Financial Rehabilitation. By the Assoclated Press. A comprehensive plan of financial rehabilitation and administrative. re- form for Nicaragua, with American banking interests pearticipating, is rec- ommended by Dr. W. W. Cumberland, an American economist, after a survey made at the request of Nicaragua, un- der the auspices of the American De- partment of State. “The financial position of Nicaragua,” said the report, made public yesterday by Becretary Kellogg, with the notation that the survey and financial plan sug- gested represent the personal views of Dr. Cumberland, “is at present favor- able. Revenues are adequate, the bud- get is balanced, the currency is stable, the public debt is moderate and taxes are reasonable. Economic Situation Unsound. “In contrast, the economic situation must be regarded as potentially un- sound. ~Coffee unduly dominates the economic life of the republic, lack of communication impedes production, ab- sence of initiative prevents development of natural resources, and currency sta- bility can be overturned atany moment. With the establishment and main- tenance of an adequate constabulary conducted on a non-partisan basis, in- auguration of unified collection of rev- eues, control over expenditures and con- |tinued interest on the part of the United States, limited optimism may b2 placed in the future of Nicaragua.” In his report, Dr. Cumberland sub- mitted a financial plan suggesting au- thorization for a loan’ of up to $30,000,- 000 in series, the first of which would be $12,000,000 for refunding and im- provements. With acceptance of financial control and participation of the United States in & plan for permanently organizing the finances of Nicaragua, Dr. Cumber- land said there is reason to believe that a loan operation on reasonable terms can be arranged. Without these fea- tures e loan of substantial proportions could not be floated, he added, or else the oparation would have to be effected on unsatisfactory terms. o Sale of Bank Urged. As a prerequisite of a sound loan, Dr. Cumberland said that he regarded’ as essential a system of unified collec- tion of revenues, audit of expenditures and preparation of the budget by American officials, together with sale by Nicaragua of a majority interest in the National Bank of Nicaragua so as to assure currency stability. “In its own interest Nicaragua should accept a certain measure of temporary financial control,” the report declared. “Assuming Nicaragua is prepared to accept foreign assistance in the solution of its financial problem, it is believed that a satisfactory bond issue can be devised. * * * Although the forego- ing arrangement would not involve a guaranty by the United States Govern- ment of Nicaraguan bonds, it would exemplify an interest in Nicaraguan finances and a desire that they should be conducted in an orderly manner.” |GRIEF CAUSE OF SUICIDE.

Now, if some restrictions are not im- posed, the governing body of the church feels, this condiiion will afford an un- rivaled opportunity to persons who want to preach to the President or to bring to his attention all sors of personal appeals and appeals for movements of one sort or another. Not only would this bz entirely out of harmony with the mesting, it is felt, but might place the Precident in an embarrassing posi= tion. At the church of almost any other denomination this would be impossible, because there would be a pastor as pre- siding officer, the order of the scrvice would be determined in advance, and any one who presumed to speak from the floor automatically would bz out of order. and would be dealt with in what- ever fashion usually is employed for keeping order. Furthermore, it was explained by a member of the committee on ministry and council, the governing body of ths society, the significanc - of the opening period of silence is understood by mem- bers and is an extremely important part of the service. Nothing is sup- posed to interfere with the reflections of the worshiper. This would not be understood by non-members, accus- tomed to the procedute in othcr churches, Many might come in after the period of silence had started, whis- per among themselves, and crane their necks with obvious worldly curlosity at the entrance of the President or some other distinguished member. Thus the significance of the period of silence might be lost. One Other Friends' House Here. The o™~ other communion of the Society of Friends in Washington is that of the Five Years' Meeting branch, one of the two branches of the orthodox wing of the church, whose meeting house is ‘at Thirteenth and. Irving streets. This church usually has a minister, who acts as presiding officer, Jjust as does the clergyman in any other church, Its communicants also have a more definite doctrinal ition. Both Mr. and Mrs, Hoover have at- tended most frequently the Hicksite “‘meeting house, although Mr. Hoover belongs to another group of Friends, which is not represented by a congre- gation in Washington. Mrs. Hoover is not a Quaker, but usually has accom- panied her husband, and is very popu- lar with the local congregation. Al- though the President-elect has made no announcement regarding the church he will attend, the committce on ministry and council feel that ha will atterd the services in the 1it1. Hicksite church quite frequently in the future, as he has in the past, varying his church attend- ance by going sometimes to cther Quaker meeting houses in the vicinity of Washington. One of the two Quaker congregations at Sandy Spring, Md, is Hicksite, and has been attended by Mr. and Mrs. Hoover. Committee Adopts No Plans. The. conmittee has-not adopted yet any definite plans for dealing with the situation which they feel is bound to arise. Even if there were no other ob- jections, they do not desire to crowd the church beyond its comfortable ca- pacity. The first consideration will b2 to care for the regular members and thcse non-members who frequc tly have attended the services in the past and have built up intimate social relations with its membership, such as Mrs. Hoover, The possibility of issuing cards to such persons has been discussed. The committee, however, does not wish to adopt any plans at this time which would seem to forecast a difficulty which they are not sure will arise—if, for ex- amnle, Mr. Hoover should decide to make some other Quaker meeting house his church home, although this is by no means probable. N Purthermore, the committee wishes to avold any step which might seem inhospitable. The church always has held out the hand of fellowship to 2!l Its membership has been open to any oné who has expressed a desire to join and whose character has been approved bv the committee, without regard to the person’s religious or secular oninions. ‘Thus a great variety of doctrinal opin- fons is found in the membership todav, BATTERY DEAD?

Larger Bu 'ding Plans Remote. Plans for a larger building still are far in the future. The present mecting house, d.spite its small cavacity, has about it a great welath of sentimental as- soclations, not only for members of the congregation, but for alumni of the pri- vate school which adjoins it. On week days it-is used as the school auditorium. The interior of the building is en- tire'~ bare, in accordance with the Qualer custcm. There is no nulpit, choir or mucical instrument. The pews, however, are broad and comfortabl: and are provided with green cushions. The Hoovers usually sit in about the middle of the church, on the right, facing the front. The original church was built in 1808, bu; the present building dates only from 1879, when the first structure was ex- tensively remodeled.
