A4’ THE _EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1940 CHEST GROUP UNIT | - SEEKING $250,000 Employes of Business and Industrial Houses Are Ex- pected to Swell Fund. (Continued From First Page.) ‘The special gifts committee revised re- port, shows 19 contributions amounting $20,340, an increase of nearly $1,000 reported unofficially Saturday. Its total of 1,067 pledges accounts for $796,762, or 91.3 per cent of its quota, which is $872,427.74. The Group Solicitation Unit in its Tevised report disclcied 472 pledges for a total of $5,831.55, making a total of 1,096 pledges for $11,223.35 to date, or 4.3 per cent of its quota of $260,000. Region Five of the Metropolitan Unit, which embraces the colored population of the city, showed in its revised report 481 pledges for a total of $2.247.54, making & total of 939 pledges to date for $8,204.93, or 23.2 per cent of its quota of $35,337.19. The revised report of the Metropolitan Unit shows a total of 3,206 pledges for $40.522.68, making its total to date 8,391 pledges for $152.633.40. or 23.1 per cent of its quota of $660,597.30. 10,544 Pledges to Date. ‘This recapitulation of figures from the auditing department reveals a total of 10,544 pledges to date for $960.618.75. This is 53.8 per cent of the total budget, with only three and a half days remain- ing to complete the job. Owing to bad weather and the delay of waiting on the February 1 pay day. Baturday's revised report of $75.694.23 was regarded as a pretty fair showing. Hundreds of Government emploves also have been waiting for pay day be- fore contributing to the Chest fund. ‘The work of the Metropolitan Unit consequently picked up considerably during the week end campaigning. At today's report meeting in the May- flower Hotel Dr. Abram Simon of the ‘Washington Hebrew Congregation was to be the Chest speaker. Mabel Walker ‘Willebrandt, former Assistant Attorney General, will voice an appeal for the campaign this evening at 6:25 over station WRC. The 4,500 volunteer workers put in & full day's work yesterday. It was largely a house-to-house canvass, and early reports indicated it was success- ful to a large degree. 20 Per Cent Ahead of 1929. ‘While the daily objective of $206,000 (6] One of a Series of Articles BY MAJ.

The Salvation Army belleves in the Community Chest because it is the best means _discovered to date of putting the community in co-operative action. It makes possible a united concen- trated effort, not only for the raising of funds for the solving of she many social problems that confront the com- munity, in the solving of these problems. It has produced a feeling of co- operation between the agencies that never before has been present and which is of untold value to the com- munity. The Community Chest has reduced INONE?

This increase is due chiefly to the fact, however, that the s gifts committee, of which Newbold Noyes is chairman, got away to an. earlier start this year. Merritt O. Chance, chairman of- the Metropolitan Unit. has more volunteers under his command this year, and the organizat'on of the unit has the ad- vantage of trained veterans from last year's campaign. The larger crgani- zation was required because of the addi- tional $300,000 to raise. The Group Solicitation Unit also is better organized for the bgger job it is tackling this year. The group is soliciting at firms which employ 25 or more persons. There are more than three times as many on its list this year than previously. Jelleft Is Confident. Mr. Jelleff is confident that the unit will make $p its quota by Thursday. Owing to difficulty in soliciting each individual in a store or business that has many hundreds of employes, the reports of the unit necessarily have been.coming in siowly.

The Richmond Park neighborhood | dispute as to where the Woodley road | bus line should run was aired before the Public Utilities Commission by resi- dents of the territory at a public hear- | ing today. ~About 100 residents ap- | peared, and practically all remarks di- rected to either putting the bus off Ordway street or keeping it there were greeted Wwith applause from opposing factions. Until recently the line, operated by the Washington Railway & Electric Co., ran on Quebec street. Early last manth it was shifted to Ordway street. Now there is @ proposal to put it back on Quebec street, vigorously opposed by most of the residents of Quebec street. There are a few, however, who want | the bus back on their street. | Spokesmen who wanted the bus kept | away from Quebec street were hesitani | to discuss any other possible routes, saying that it would not be good neigh- borship to put the inconveniences of the line off onto other streets. Among other routes mentioned, howevar, were Porter street and Rodman street. Only two blocks are involved in the dispute, those between Idaho avenue and Thir- ty-fourth street. The arguments for keeping it off Que- bec street are that it is (by 1 foot) the narrowest of the four streets, that it is a blind street, that it is poorly paved, that the busses are noisy, that they are a traffic hazard to the children. Ex- actly the same arguments, except as to the width of the street, were used as to the other locations. ‘The Richmond Park Citizens’ Asso- ciation wants the bus on Quebec street. Some of the residents of this street said they would rather have no bus service at all-than have it there. Out of all this testimony the com- mission must pick one of the streets for the bus to run on. | _-Speakers seemed to agree on only one point, They all united in paying high tribute ‘to ‘the extraordinary. care and watchfulness of the' bus drivers, and | admitted that the hazard presented to { the children was practically zero. Most of them further agreed that the chil- dren were in most danger from ice, fuel and delivery wagons.

DYE FIRMS La Follette Urges Senate to Abolish Basing Tariff on Domes- tic Valuation. By the Associated Press. Asserting that American dye corpora- tions were engaged in “combinations to fix prices and to control the American market,” Senator La Follette, Repub- lican, of Wisconsin, urged the Senate today to abolish the practice of basing dye tariffs on American valuation, The Wisconsin Senator said the re- sults of an inquiry he had made into current dye prices appeared to “demon- strate that by some method the prices of such dyes are definitely fixed.” He added that for each of 77 dyes, the price during the 52 weeks of the year 1929 had been “pegged” or fixed so that they showed no variation throughout the year, reports revealed. Biaine said that evidence showing the existence of price fixing and the con- trol of dyes by monopolies seemed to constitute camg:mnt reasons for with- drawal of “the special privilege of American valuation.” Tariff Commission figures were cited by La Follette, showing that 96,600,000 pounds of coal tar dyes, valued at $39,- 790,000, were produced in this country in 1928, while exports were 32,059,078 pounds, valued at $6,336,278, and im- ports .were 6,080,256 pounds, worth $6,707,785.
