$167,683 Goal Set
For United Crusade
In Jackson
A goal of $167,683 has been
set for the fall United Cru
sade campaign, according to
Douglas F. Gordenier. Cru
sade president.'
This year's goal is $9,558
higher than last year's goal
of $158,125, a 6 per cent in
crease: Last year's goal Was
over-subscribed by 2 per cent,
Crusade officials noted.
Gordenier said the cam
paign goal does not meet
agency requests by $2.1,602
this year. Last year's differ
ence between agency requests
and United Crusade alloca
tions totaled $21,362.
It was pointed out that the
needs, as seen by an agency.
are almost always in advance
of lhe public's willingness to
support such services. Agency
services, and therefore their
needs, vary each year; it is
an unusual agency executive
who cannot foresee service
needs that should be provided,
Gordenier said.
Goal Is Compromise
Realistically, the goal is a
compromise between the
amounts that the agencies can
spend wisely and the amount
that the Crusade believes can
be raised. The goal is set high
er than might be comfort
ably raised, but not too high
as to make it impossible of
attainment, he said.
During the last, nine years,
the Crusade has increased its
goal at an average of 6.6 per
cent annually, or 59.4 per cent
over the entire period. This
compares with the 80.5 per
cent average increase of all
United Funds and Community
Chests nationwide.

field is "sincere in wanting
to expose the whole truth in
this scandal" he should direct
Thornton to "carry out a full

news accounts of the Camp
Withycombe shortage but said
"I have no knowledge of any
of the facts surrounding it"

were ordered by the governor
to investigate he would "do
an impartial Job."

they shoulder that responsi
