Number of Agencies Increase Gifts to Mile o' Dimes Total So Far Is Behind Last Year; Campaign To Close Friday Hosts of new workers brought | ‘brought here by the war effort have added their dimes to swell the con- tributions of many Government agencies to this year's Mile o’ Dimes campaign. The total amount of money col- lected in this phase of the drive against infantile paralysis, however, is somewhat below that recorded for the same period last vear, when in- | ‘auguration crowds were among those | who passed the stand at Fourteenth | street and New York avenue to drop | their dimes on the line. Still, a number of the larger Government agencies have yet to bring their | group contributions to the stand. So | it is hoped that, by Friday night, when the campaign closes on the President’s birthday anniversary, the amount of dimes collected will | equal last year's, total of more than $27,500. Already the Navy Department, one agency which has seen a con- siderable increase in personnel since the war effort was started, has sent Lt. Robert Montgomery, the movie star turned naval officer, to the stand with $1.020. Last year Navy's | contribution was $768. Justice Sends More. ! The Justice Department, t00, has made a considerably increased con- tribution to the Mile o’ Dimes. The department, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has added $82250 to the infantile paralysis fund this year, a sizable increase over last vear’'s $494.40. The Interior Department’s $357 marks an increase of $110 over the same agency's contribution of last| vear and officials said this was in- complete and more dimes would be added. Perhaps the most spectacular of all the increases from a percentage | standpoint, however, is that of the THE EVENING - STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Among the foodstuffs sent into the two departments were 200 tons of potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes and Swedish turnips from Limoges. and tons more brought from Algeria.
