CHEST PLAN WINS INDIANA CAPITAL Duplication of Giving Is Eliminated Through Highly Efficient System. This is the sizth of a series of ar- ticles by a staff correspondent of The Star on the operation of the Com- munity Chest in large cities. The Community Chest will be inaugurated here this Winter. BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, December 7.—The city. B Even in the corpulent days before the war it had a reputation for good, old- fashioned charity. When cold weather descended upon the prairie cornfields the outcasts drifted in to the steam heat of her rescue missions. Families whose bread-winners were out of work were helped through the Winter months. of her children went hungry or cold if she knew about them. All this used to take a good deal of Indianapolis’ pocket money. charity organizations. Each went be- fore the public every year with an ap- peal for support. In 1917 they col- lected $175,000. The cost of collecting and administering this money was about 15 per cent. The amount raised by any individual organization depended a great deal on the efficiency of its campaign. Some got more than they needed. Others, just as worthy, often were obliged to curtail their work because of lack of funds. They were jealous of each other and competed for public support. War Chest Solved Problem. | Then came the war. It became i necessary to ask of the citizens amounts { undreamed of before to supply the boys |in France. It was a case of dollars then against dimes in the past. The {pmh:em of collecting this money was | solved by starting a war chest, the {amount collected to be pro rated among the various welfare organizations with the Army and Navy and the local charities. Under the emotional stress M‘ the war the citizens gave without stint. ‘This method proved so successful that it was continued after the war. The first local Community Chest cam- paign was conducted in 1921. All the local organizations which made appeals to the public and which could show that they served a real purpose in the community were included. There was no longer the emotion of patriotism and the personal interest in somebody in the ‘The city saw to it that none | There | were approximately 30 welfare and | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON., D C, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1928. gressive education of the public in civic responsibility and the increasing con- viction that nearly every cent given goes to real charity and welfare work rather than into the pockets of pro- moters or into campaign expenses. Indianapolis still is far short of the $4 per individual of the population record- ed in Rochester, Cleveland and St. Louis, but it has not the enormous in- dividual sources of income to draw upon which are present in those cities. Indianapolis is a prosperous, middle- class city. It has few millionaires in comparison to some other cities. Mr. Borst is hopeful, however, that in a few years the $4 per individual ob- tained elsewhere will be equaled, or even exceeded. Test Is in Spending. The amount of money raised, how- | ever, is mot the final criterion. The | test 'is in how it is spent. Even if In- | dianapolis were raising only the $175,- 1000 which the individual organizations were able to get for themselves in 1917, it would still be far ahead, because of the increased efficiency in expenditure, the business methods and the avoid- { ance of duplication which has been in- Hoosfer capital is a hospitable, motherly | troduced by the community fund or- ganization and the council of social agencies. The latter is theoretically separate from the fund organization, delegate body of the participating in- titutions. ¥ In the scheme of things here the Council of Social Agencies is funda- mental. The council is made up of two delegates from each of the 37 organiza- tions which depend partially on the public for their support. In addition, it has delegates from 30 other organiza- tion which do not ask the general public for support—such as the tax-supported institutions and thoge which are heavily endowed. ! The Community Fund organization consists of 24 members, the terms of eight of whom expire each year. Three of these eight are elected by the council, three by the community fund organiza- tion itself and two by the campaign committee. The campaign committee, which directs the annual campaigns, is one of the two subdivisions of the com- munity fund board, which is appointed by the board itself. System Works Well. This somewhat complicated arrange- ment has been found to work admirably in actual practice. Distribution of the money and the ad- mittance of new participating organiza- tions is controlled by a second commit- tee of the community fund directors— the budget committee, consisting of 15 members. All are members of the board, but only eight are appointed by the board. The other seven, one less than a majority, are appointed from among the directors by the Council of Social Agencies. This delicate system of checks and balances is in the interest of har- mony in apportioning the funds. Actually the budget committee is guided largely by the studies made by the Council of Social Agencies, which is_always on the lookout for ways of effecting economy and at the same time increasing efficiency. Last year, for ex- ample, it was able to consolidate five service. Service flags had been taken down from the windows. There was no longer the appeal of Woodrow Wilson to “give until it hurts.” That year the Community Chest or- | ganization raised $407,014 for all the organizations, compared with the $175,~ 000 they had been able to raise by their own efforts. There has been a steady { increase ever since all out of proportion to the growth of population and the fluctuations of prosperity in the city's industries. The next year $447,579 was raised. Progress since has been as follows: 1923, $554,078; 1924, $606,385; 1925, $632,912; 1926, $651,047; 1927, $657,- 646; 1928, $726,126. In these years there has been no very notable increase in the commun- ity income. Some new factories have been established, but others have gone out of business. The population has increased approximately 8,000 per year. It is now about 375,000. The collection this year, in a campaign just con- cluded to meet the needs of 1929, was $752,000. This is four times what was raised under the individual financing method in 1917. The fund represents approximately $2 per individual of the city’s population. There were 52,447 givers. The cost of raising and ad- ministering this money was appro: mately 6 per cent. It will be distribut- ed, on a basis of needs and service ren- dered, among 37 welfare and charity Organization Is All-Inclusive. The fund organization is practically inclusive of all such institutions in the Jewish societies. It is directed by the For the past two years the chairman of the executive committee of the campaign fund has been Walter C. Marmon, automobile manufacturer. The distri- bution has given general satisfaction. The givers to the community fund represent a fair cross section of the city’s population. There are few out- standing individual givers. The largest donation this year was for $25,000. One department store gave $15,000, a considerable portion of which repre- sented the personal contribution of the owner.

Print- ing. to family welfare agencies—representing what is probably the costliest branch of social work—into one with a resulting enormous economy in overhead. It maintains a social service exchange in which families which have been aided are recorded, thus saving duplication of investigation when another appeal is made. It now is working on the project | of a combined bureau for homeless men that is a consolidation of the work of the various rescue missions and similar organizations. A great diversity in standards of work has been found among these. It is ex- pected to bring the standards of all up to that of the best at present and to re- duce overhead. Beggars Are Investigated. ‘The council has been quite successful in ridding the streets of beggars. One nurse of the Visiting Nurse Association has been detailed to the council for this work. As soon as a report comes in of a new beggar seen on the streets she is sent out to investigate. Sometimes she finds that the man or woman actually has been driven to begging by ill-health or inability to obtain work. Such cases are on the borderline where effective social service work will keep the person from becoming a beggar. Once the council knows the circumstances it usually can make some provision for the person to earn a living. Of course, many beggars, in Indianapolis as else- where, are professionals. If nothing constructive can be done with such per- sons, they are turned over to the po- lice. But they always are given a chance. Individual campaigns for funds have been reduced to a minimum. The Com- munity Fund organization, however, un- dertakes only a specific job—to raise money for welfare and charity work. Aporopriations from the chest to vari- ous organizations are made for specific purposes. Thus the appropriation to the Y. M. C. A is solely for work among boys. None of the money re- ceived from the public can be expended to meet deficiencies which the Y. M. C. A. may meet, for example, in its func- tion as a dormitory. Some of the organizations combine welfare and religious work. The appro- priations they receive from the Com- mounity Chest are specifically for the former. They must finance their re-| ligious work independently, through contributions taken up in their own churches and elsewhere. The same holds good for capital expenses. The organizations conduct their own drives for the construction of new buildings. This year a number of them plan to combine in a “Burn-the-Mortgage” cam- Natl. | paign. Such campaigns seldom are en- tered upon, however, without consulta- | tion of the Council of Social Agencies. 2,800 Workers in Campaign. ‘The annual campaign is conducted | by approximately 2,800 workers. These are organized in five main divisions, First comes the special gifts division, with two subdivisions. One works with the big givers. The other works with wealthy individuals who can reasonably be expected—because of their promi- nence in the community and their civic responsibility—to give more than they have in the past. Then there is the employes’ division, with six subdivi- sions. There is one group each to can- vass the factories, stores, railroads, State, Federal and city employes, banks and brokerage houses, and public utili- ties. Next is the branch house division which. works through the local offices of foreign corporations. This group ob- tained nearly $25,000 this year. Next is th: downtown division with 18 sub- divisions or teams. These make can- vasses of the offices. Last is the resi- dential division with 38 teams. These make a door-to-door solicitation. Money is also raised in the churches and schools, but in the latter largely as a missionary endeavor rather than for the actual amount realized.. The pur- pose is to train the puplls in the object of social work and to get them into the habit of making slight self-sacrifices for the benefit of the unfortunate. The Council of Social Agencies and the Community Fund directors present facts as they are. There are none of the morbid, grossly exaggerated accounts of social conditions which sometimes ac- companied the old individual appeals. ‘There is no effort to paint the world as going to the dogs, but only a stress- ing of the vastly brighter possibilities which may reward concentrated, intel. ligent effort.

The Washington Community Ches:, its functions and operation, were de- scribed by Elwood Street, director, in an address over radio station WRC last night. The address was in the form of an- swers to questions regarding the chest. Describing the chest as “a federation of over 50 of Washington's accredited charitable and philanthropic organiza- tions with contributors who have united themselves for the purpose of conduct- ing one annual campaign for funds,” Mr. Street declared: “It is expected that the cost of rasing funds will be cut in half; that it will result in more money being raised than in the past; will in-: crease the number of givers; will great- ly improve the quality of work done by the various member bodies; will bring about the adoption of busines like methods where they are now lack- ing, and will develop a co-operative spirit of great importance.” A Common Charity. Pointing out that the chest member- ship is composed of Catholic, Jewish, Protestant and non-sectarian agencies, of organizations serving both white and colored, he declared it includes the ap- | peals on behalf of people of all races and creeds, “and, consequently, an ap- peal to all citizens on the basis of that charity which is common to all religions and to all racial groups.” Asserting that none of the chest offi- cers or the three or four thousand vol- unteer workers will receive any. com- pensation for their services, Mr. Street | described the chest as a corporation handling over $1,000,000 and the ac- counts of at least 100,000 contributors. What salaries it will be necessary to pay are to be kept at as low a figure as possible, “both because the officers of the chest feel a responsibility for handling the funds as economically as possible and also because they know that the economy of the Community Chest is one of the strongest talking points.” In this connection he de- clared “it would be foolish as well as unworthy for the Community Chest to spend a single dollar more than was absolutely necessary to secure com- petent and efficient help.” Building Drives Necessary. Mr. Street pointed out that the chest can eliminate separate campaigns for funds only within the ranks of its member organizations. “It guarantees,” he continued, “that these organizations will not appeal to the citizens of Wash- ington for any current expenses what- soever,” emphasizing that these needs will be taken care of through the funds raised in the Community Chest's one bihcampaign each year. r. Street added: “The Community Chest will from time to time allow campaigns for build- ing funds by its members, and these will be carefully regulated so that they will be only for the amounts which are necessary and at times which are proper. The Community Chest in- cludes only funds for current expenses and cannot include capital expense | needs for buildings and endowment, which must necessarily fluctuate from year to year. “The Community Chest cannot and will not mclude the campaigns and appeals of organizations which have not qualified for membership. Any reputable social agency can become a member of the Community Chest. The Community Chest does not include churches in its membership or national organizations which do not have local branches.” WESTERN HIGH TO GIVE OPERETTA IN 3 ACTS First Performance of “The Crimson Star” Will Be Presented Tonight at School.

Jjunction against the District Commis- sioners and John W. Oehmann, building inspector. The petitioners seek to enjoin | 'SALT CREEK BIDS ASKED.| licenses and permits to continue the op- | the Commissioners from prosecuting in- formations against them in Police Court for alleged violation of these regulations, and to restrain Oehmann from refusing eration of the elevators in question. Through Attorneys Daniel Thew ‘Wright and Phillip Ershler, the court is informed that the regulations sought to be applied to buildings already finished and completed with elevators prior to the issuance of the regulations, are void because discriminatory and un- reasonable. It will cost $26,489, the petitioners say, to make the required alterations and equipment demanded by the regulations. They assert the Com- missioners are without power to enact a regulation as applicable to property already completed. The court is told that three informa- tions have been brought against the petitioners in Police Court and many more are threatened and will be insti- tuted unless the court grants the re- quested injunction. At least two of the buildings involved are under the control of officers of the United States Govern- ment, it is pointed out. BRITAIN-TO-CANADA STEAMER RATE IS CUT By the Associated Press.

The differ- ence in the fare is to be absorbed by the British government and the steam- ship companies on a basis which was not made public. Announcement of the new fare was made by Robert Forke, minister of im- migraflon, who sald the action was the outcome of recent conferences in Lon- don. The new fare does not affect the $10 rate under the empire . settlement scheme, which continues in force.

The House ways and means commit- fee agreed today to approve the Bur- ton bill providing for settlement of the Austrian debt of $34,630,000 to the | United States under a new agreement :calling for optional settlement either | in 20 or 40 years. The decision quickly followed an ex- planation of the proposal by Under- secretary Mills of the Treasury. Austria, Mr. Mills said, offers to pay beginning on January 1, 1943, 20 yearly annuities of $1,337,140, while reserving the option to substitute a schedule of payments providing 5 yearly payments | of $287,556, beginning January 1, 1929; 10 yearly payments of $460,093, begin- ning January 1, 1934, and 25 yearly payments of $743,047, beginning Janu- {ary 1, 1944, The debtor asks also that a loan which it wishes to float be granted | priority over the old loan, which cov- ; ered relief furnished by this country | after the World War. The tax resources were pledged for | payment of previous loans received | { from this and eight other countries. | Seven of the nine countries already | | have confirmed the new agrecment, | { which is similar to that offered the | | United_States. Mr. Mills said the debt bears 6 per | cent interest, but that the other cred- | itors had reduced the rate to 5 per cent. 1 If this country does the same, the debt would amount to $33,911,000. ‘The State and Treasury Departments, Mr. Mills said, were “strongly of the | opinion” that the optional offer should b2 accepted.

J, December 7.—The second of a series of tests on a device | designed to make safer the landing of | aircraft in fog was pronounced a suc- | cess today by officials of the Victor | Talking Machine Co., at whose plant | the test was carried out with the aid | of the Navy dirigible Los Angeles. The new device, called a “super- directional horn,” was developed by‘ Lieut. R. C. Mayer, a member of the Los Angeles crew, and S. T. Willlams of the Victor company. It consists of a series of units operated by vacuum | tubes, which permit the reception byi aircraft of directional signals from a landing field. When perfected, the ap-; paratus is expected to enable the navi- | gator of an aircraft to discover, through | differently pitched signals, the compass | points of a fog-enveloped fleld. The direction finder will supplement the radio beam. | The dirigible Los Angeles was the re- | ceiving medium in the test yesterday, | while th> signals were sent from the | roof of the Victor plant. The horn, 20 | feet long and 10 feet wide, was con- | nected with a microphone and attached | to a record disk.
