I will agree that the total raised in the City has not come up to expec- tations; and it is my firm convic- ition that when a fuller understand- ing of Chest activities permeates our citizens their contributions will 'be more widespread and more gen. erous. [his is a year-round job, which each organization in the ‘Chest must undertake — to ac- quaint all Key Westers with their| worth-while activities and their needs. Many of the telephone calls to Chest Headquarters were from ci- vilian workers in Naval establish- {ments. fhere has been some mis- ‘understanding, said Neblett, con- ‘cerning the status of their contri- butions. The Navy, including its) Tegular civilian employees, and ci-| employees of deere Electrie on ithe Naval Statich, was placed in a category similar to an industrial) plant. Admiral Towner acted in the capacity of co-chairman of the Chest drive, as head of this “in- dustry.” Chest Headquarters in the) City does not have the breakdown| of participants 0} severally by mil breakdown figures will undoubted- ly be made public in the near fu- ture. While the Chest Drive may not jachieve its announced goal, said Neblett, it appears that there will be sufficient funds to operate its member agencies during 1954, al- though some budgets must be re- vised downward. The Chest Board allowed approximately $7,000.00 for contingencis, overhead, and unpaid pledges. The cost of the drive has been approximately $1,000.00, most- ‘ly for supplies and printing. This is less than 3 per cent for overhead.| Pledges actually represent less) than 10 per cent of total contribu-| tions, and very little, if any loss; is foreseen. Many pledges are ac-| tually being paid up right now, ra-| ther than wait for 1954, for income! tax reasons. My own contribution| was partial cash and partial pledge like to be in on the takeoff as well coming from one party.” Informed million. The recommendations were said jto envisage reductions in manpow- er for all the armed services ex- cept the Air Force, which would be allowed to expand during the next two years from the present strength of a little over "930,000 to about 970,000. Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-NY), chairman of the Senate-House Committee on Atomic Energy, Said last night he thought Con- Sress would relax the secrecy on atomic matters now required by law enough to help U.
