A desk clerk at the Kansas City branch of the YWCA. described by her supervisor as an excellent employee, was fired because she gave only $10 to the United Way charity drive.

"It's not that I didn't give to the United Way. It's that I didn't give enough." said Sharon Walter, a mother of two who has worked at the YWCA here for four years. Her supervisor, Alice Kennedy. YWCA executive director, confirmed that Mrs. Walter was dismissed Nov.

10 because her contribution to the Heart of America United Way was too small- Mrs. Kennedy said YACA policy dictates that each employee give at least an hour's pay each month. Mrs. Walter earned $2.30 an hour, which would amount to a required contribution of $27.60 Mrs. Kennedy's superiors in Kansas City and in the national YWCA headquarters in New York said national policy does not require a minimum amount even though it encourages employees to contribute.

"We would never put pressure on employees to give a certain amount." said Sarah Alice Wright, executive director of the national organization. The YWCA is a United Way agencv and last year was allocated $215.000 from the community fund program. Mrs. Walter and her husband. Tom.

a Kansas City police officer, said a $10 donation was all they wanted to sive because they had decided to make an extra donation to their church's educational fund.
