THE EVENING STAR, W/ SHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1932. T el R CHEST'S WORKERS RALLY AT MEETING Kaufman, Speakers’ Head, Says Metropolitan Unit Will Attain Goal. Oommunity Chest workers must dis- play kindness, love, earnestness, en- thusiasm and knowledge if they expect to attain thejr enlarged goal in the coming campaign, Joseph D. Kaufman, chairman of the Speakers’ Unit, declar- ed last night at a Metropolitan Unit dinner in the Mayflower Hotel The speaker predicted the Metropoli- tan Unit would accomplish the task it has been assigned by “‘putting across” to the public the seriousness of the situation faced by the city's charitable erganizations due to the depression. He predicted the leaders would obtain much self-satisfaction out of their Chest work Mr. Kaufman pointed out every unit of the Chest had extended its work in order to meet fhe present emergency. He cited the fact that the Speakers Unit already has listed more than 1,200 talks and probably will make 8,000 before the drive ends. He explained only 800 speeches were made by mem- bers of the unit last year, and barely more than 300 the year before. Fewer Workers This Year. “You must measure your shots,” Mr. Kaufman warned. “Don't slice; stay in the farrway, When you get a prospect stay with him until he comes across.’ H. L. Rust, jr.. unit chairman, said Ris forces would be welded into an inte- gral, self-contained group. He added the solicitors must exert all their ener- gies because the unit will have only 1,000 workers this year, as compared with from 2,500 to 2,700 last vear “So in this campaign,” he told the Jeaders, “you should train your workers Follow them closely, encourage and guide them. If we do that we are bound to succeed.” Mr. Rust pointed out all contributors would be ssked to give a third more this year than last. He said the de- mands upon the Chest are so great that increased pledges were essential. He predicted the public response would be most generous. Samuel Kauffmann, Mark Lansburgh and Charles E. Collifiower, regional chairmen, introduced their outstanding associates. Unit Personnel Listed. Mr. Rust announced the following unit personnel Region No. 1—Mr. Kauffmann and Chauncey G.
