Chest Federation Cuts Cost , Of Aid. Avoids Comoetition With the approach of the annual Community Chest Federation cam paign for funds, the organization last night issued a statement des cribing the functions of the Chests in the Washington area and the purpose of the federation. The Community Chests of Wash ington and Alexandria, and Arling ton, Fairfax, Montgomery and Prince Georges counties voluntarily have banded together in the Fed eration to carry on a single, united campaign for funds each year. Each Chest in the Federation runs Its own affairs and depends for its leadership and achievement on the citizens of its own community. Fut It keeps in close touch with the work going on in the entire F( dera tion area. Each community has its own rep resentatives on the Federation's gov erning body—the board of directors,; as well as on the smaller executive committee of the board. Commit-! tees of the Federation are composed ' of members elected by the trustees of the self-governing Chests. Funds Allocated by Committee. Funds raised by the Federation campaign organization, made up of. nine soliciting groups of volunteers, j are budgets and allocated by the; Federation's budget committee. This committee receives requests from the individual budget committees of the Chests. Contributors, however, may desig- : net* the particular agency to which they want their gifts to go. A contributor may do this by writing In, on the back ο I the campaign pledge cards, the names of the agencies he or «he wishes to support and the amounts each is to get from the gift. The Chests are made up of gencies providing services to improve family life, health and child welfare. They have the responsibility for j co-ordinating estimates of agency | needs, setting standards for profes sional welfare work and allocating to each agency the funds determined as the most efficient budget for its operations. Agencies Must Meet Standard. The Washington Chest was formed , in 1928 when more than 57 agencies j voluntarily joined together to unite : their efforts to solve common prob- ! lems in needs, budgeting and fund raising. Admission to membership of a private welfare agency is con tingent on its meeting certain standards, which include: 1. A responsible board of directors. 2. Demonstration of usefulness to the community. 3. Adequate financial records and yearly audit. 4. Acceptable standards of social work. The Chest system eliminates the costly, compétitive campaigns of individual agencies and each Chest I member agency has agreed to share proportionately with all other agencies the funds raised through popular subscriptions. The same general description ap plies to the community service agency groups supported by the other Chests in the federation. Campaign Costs Lowered. The Chest philosophy of econom ical, centralized fund raising is about 30 years old. More than 800 Com- 1 m unity jjnesus nave giuwu up m American communities. Chest officials have found these results in the Federation plan: 1. Greatly lowered costs of fund raising. Campaign expenses were 4 per cent of the total raised for 1946, as compared to the 18 to 25 per cent paid by individual agencies tor their own campaigns. 2. Extension of the improved co ordination of health and welfare | work accomplished by the six Chests j to the entire area around Wash ington, with consequent improve- j ment of welfare planning in the1 area of more than 1,500 square miles. 3. Strengthening of public under standing and support of social wel fare work carried on from day to day to build a healthier, more pro ductive community. Should the Federation lose the support, of residents of. the area, the six Chests would return to competi tive appeals for funds. Costs of campaigning would increase. The amount of the contributor's dollar going to actual human service would be reduced. Would Reduce Service. Reduction in the amount of funds for service would mean a reduction in the, amount of service which each Agency could afford to pio vide. Some of those now benefiting from Red Feather agency services would be turned away. These people either would go without the help they needed in such ; fields as low-cost hospitalization, temporary assistance financially in time of family crises, free leisure time facilities for boys and girls in Scouting, neighborhood clubs and classes, and free convalescent care for sick and undernourished chil dren, or they would turn to public agencies already over burdened and operating on greatly reduced budgets. In many cases they would find that t.ax-supporteç welfare agencies could not help them. As the number of those unable to get help in time of need in creased, the community itself would suffer. In the face of crisis, danger of epidemics and growing social un-; rest, the stability of home life and tlie security of children affect the welfare of the whole community. President Truman has written that j "the Community Chest plan is con ceded to be the best method yet formed for raising, handling and budgeting funds of contributors. ; The Chest, unites all races, creeds and social groups in a co-operative riiuii, iu meet uuiijau uccuo.

This time, somebody bumped the car from behind, breaking the bumper guard and putting a slight additional dent in the already battered left rear fender. "It was just a little nick," accord ing to Mr. Rahmlow. "You'd hardly notice it. But whoever did< it left a calling card, with the words: "I'm sorry I bumped your car." Forgot Name on Card. Mr. Ralimlow intended to call up this polite motorist, thank him for leaving the card and tell him to for get the incident. But before he got around to doing so, he lost the card. And he couldn't remember the name on it. Time passed. Summer came and went. Mr. Rahmlow continued his daily round, parking as near the i Weather Bureau as possible and then ! proceeding to carry on his radiosonde work, which means recording mes- ' sages from little instruments in bal loons which tell what the weather : is like up to 15,000 feet above the surface of the earth. Autumn approached, and the ι leaves thinned and began to turn. Last week, as always, Mr. Rahmlow left his car parked all day long, each day, in the vicinity of Twenty fifth and Ν streets N.W.

' Daddy," said his 9-year-old son, as Mr. Rahmlow crawled in behind the wheel, "what became of the places on the car where it was bumped?" The boy's name was Bruce, and like many boys he was always ask ing questions. Like many fathers. Mr. Rahmlow didn't pay much at tention. "It's on the other side of the car," ί he said casually. Then he drove aff to the garage. While waiting for the repair man ! ;o come over, Mr. Rahmlow idly in spected his car. He noticed the light Aas reflected back from one of the ■ear fenders in slightly wavy lines J1 "It Muet Be the Heat.» '' "That's funny," he thought, "I lever noticed that. It must be the heat." Then he went around to the sther side of the car to take a look it the damaged fenders, to which ne had grown quite accustomed. They were not damaged. 4 Mr. Rahmlow realized he was on the right side of the the car; that he dents had been on the other side. He went to the left side again.

"Wait a minute, Rahmlow—keep cool," he told himself. "You have been doing a lot of technical work recently. Working hard at It. You are tired—sometimes the mind plays tricks." Just then the repair man walked up. "Are there any dents in this fend er?" Mr. Rahmlow asked, hardly knowing what he hoped the man would answer. "Dents?" said the man. "What do you mean. Smooth a fender as I ever saw. Why?" "Never mind," said Mr. Rahmlow weakly. Well, that's what Mr. Rahmlow knows about his car.

A scientific technician can not give pixies all the credit for a Dhing like this. Maybe, he thinks, the man who bnmped him last spring found the car again and had it fixed. Maybe somebody thought he was fixing his own car, and fixed Mr. Rahmlow's by mistake. Maybe. But little Bruce, who has 3een hearing recently about the shoemaker and the elves, is sure he inoWs the answer.

Last Year, 21% Rise Over '45 • " Law violators paid the District $1,196,383.38 in fines during the last fiscal year—a 21 per cent increase over the amount they paid the year before—Corporation Counsel Vernon E. West revealed yesterday. In his annual report to the Com missioners, the chief of the gov ernment's legal staff detailed a heavy increase in the work of his office. His staff had handled, he, said, 43,935 court cases between! July 1, 1946, and June 30, 1947—13 per cent more cases than in the previous fiscal year. The criminal division of Munic ipal Court accounted for 38,720 or »u per cent ο ι cuun cases naiiuicu,; the corporation counsel said. This figure, Mr. West told a re porter, could hardly be taken as reflecting the presence of a crime wave in the city. More than two thirds of the total fines paid in Municipal Court, he pointed out, involved traffic offenses. This, Mr. West added, was to be explained by the increase in the number of vehicles. In addition to Its courtroom work, the report added, the corporation counsel's office performed other du ties ranging from service as general counsel to the Public Utilities Com mission to the drafting of legisla tion affecting the District. Forty such bills were prepared by Mr. West's staff, according to ! the report. At the same time, thej office prepared for the Commis- ' sioners 87 reports to congressional committees and to the Bureau of the Budget. In one respect, at least, the year was remarkable, Mr. West wrote. An all-time record of $584.695.69 was collected from the estates of insane persons, in payment for their care and treatment at St. Eliza beth's Hospital. "This sum is larger than any sum heretofore collected," Mr. West wrote. LISTEN TO LEE HAT PROGRAM WMAL, SUN., 6 P.M.

Aus tralian Foreign Minister H. V. Evatt and Wall Street bankers. The same weekly September 20 carried a long article by Boris Gor ba'ov, criticizing President Truman and comparing him with Hitler. Ambassador Walter B. Smith lodged a formal protest which was rejected by the Soviet government. Part of today's attack was in rhyme by the poet S. S. Majshak. Part of it was in the form of a com posite photograph. The latter pic tured "Wall Street" wearing a bow tie such as the American President wears. The head was a silver dollar. The figure was pictured seated at a table with a knife and fork, ready to devour a portion of a globe labeled Eastern Hemisphere. # Majshak began his verses with praise of Washington, Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Ae the rhymes progressed, Mr. Truman was portrayed outdoing Mr. Churchill ill international arson. The poet 7 begged Ambassador Smith's pardon, spying he did not want to create international incidents but that he was not obliged to venerate all American Presidents. Priest Suesto Bar U. N.
