dDna tillne Square 2 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1954 PASADENA (CALIF.) INDEPENDENT GUARD JET CRASHES IN dies as flaming jet fuel sets two Pilot Hits Wall to Miss Houses BOSTON (UP) A National Guard jet plane crashed and burned in a thickly settled residential area near Logan Airport yesterday and the pilot was killed. Flaming jet fuel i E. Na-1 set fire to two houses. I An eye-witness, Mrs. Josephine Ciecarelli, wife of United 1 Press correspondent Michael Cic-I carelli, said the single-seater hit a shore embankment immediate-j ly in front of his parents house and fell on the street in flames.

I She said the pilot dived into the I sea wall to avoid hitting the day-old baby tragedy from dow. I thought the plane was going to hit the house. It seemed the win- ED ESSERTIER rrs THE AMERICAN WAY to want to help the next guy, 1 but the trouble is that too many people know it. As a re- suit so many promoters have come up with worthy causes that the legitimate ones are suffering from lack of funds. Every day we are apprised of some new disease, more crippling than the last.

To wipe it out we are told to dig deep, to give generously give 'til it hurts I believe Ls the phrase and as a result there are more palms at our doorsteps than there are along Colorado St. j. fit Many charities have seen the light and consolidated their fund-raising activities Lnto one annual drive. The Community Chest and Associated In-Group Donors (AID) are outstanding examples. Nevertheless, so many continue to hold individual campaigns that the organizations which have consolidated pay the penalty.

The local Community Chest Ed Essertier figures it will be more than lucky to get hat it needs this year. I A while ago I suggested lightly that all the people rais-j ing money to fieht dread diseases consolidate into a National Foundation to Prevent Dying. New' charities, many of which enrich nobody but their promoters and prevent no disease other than the promoters poverty, have made such a consolidation advisable. The worthy cause technique has been so overworked that the public has no way of knowing whether the campaign is honest. And its getting so it doesn't care, because it isnt going to give anyway.

I would like to see the medical profession, the legal profession, the social agencies and the service organizations get together and decide which charities are deserving. Then tell us. We would like to help the other guy but we hate to he suckers. In other words, why spend 510.000,000 to battle a disease that kills lb of the population when for the same money we could lick one that kills 25 Why give to an agency which could sustain itself when another is desperate? The most worthy cause I can think of is a house-cleaning amore the charities, so the good ones can continue to get Ch.r.ese Ccm what thev deserve. heav-v bomoardment island cf Quemoy jester- QONGREbMAN CARL HINSHAW, a man who trunks mainland" bragged that the'island twice before speaking out and who has nothing to gain woud be cepuned within two from rash campaign promises, last week made one of the weeks.
