ACS Plans to Conduct Own Drives and Withdraw from United Funds
NEW YORK The American Cancer Society voted to pull out of all united tin and Community Chest drives by 1960. The board cited budget control and the society’s ability to raise funds itself, affecting about 400 local units and ordering 70 to leave united funds. Funds from united drives for cancer could not be accepted by any ACS unit, while in-plant solicitations would continue. The group also urged government health measures on tobacco-related disease.
