Poor U.S. Contribution To U.N. Children’s Fund
(10 a.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 1. The United States drive on behalf of the United Nations’ Appeal for Children was closed yesterday after a nation-wide campaign had raised less than 5,000,000 dollars of its 60,000,000 dollars’ goal. New York City collected only 1,000,000 dollars of its 6,000,000 dollars objective. . ... Contributions by other nations bring the appeal total to about 18,000,000 dollars with some contributions still to come. , , There was no official explanation of the poor response to the United States drive but the opinion has been expressed that the organisers made the mistake in linking it with an appeal for overseas aid conducted by 25 other foreign relief agencies in America.
