San Antonio Exposition fund drive faces funding gaps
Moderate income residents rally for the International Exposition drive while wealthy backers lag, with pledges exceeding 100000 but actual collected funds around 60000.

A subcommittee will visit subscribers who have not yet donated, with daily luncheons and reader conferences at the St Anthony hotel guiding further efforts.
