Democratic telethon pledges fall short of goal
Washington United Press International reports the Democratic National Committee’s fourth fund raising telethon gathered 4.6 million in pledges, a pace described as disappointing but not unsatisfactory. The two hour broadcast raised 1.3 million less than the 21 hour 1974 event, with expectations to collect about percent of pledged funds amid a history of annual telethons since 1972 and debt from the 1968 campaign.
