The Volunteers of America in Washington DC resigned from the Local Community Chest after a curt message reported to have been sent to withdraw as a participating member. Advisory Board members named include Dunn, Miller, Black, Nellie Miller, Humelsine, Ingram, Moss, Phillips, Rowland, Stick, Spessard, Stouffer and Kepler. The Community Chest directors accepted the withdrawal and stated no further funds would be advanced as VOA was no longer sponsored by responsible local citizens.
