THE DRIVE to raise $8,250,000 opens Wednesday, Oct. 25. Joe E. Brown will tell his personal experiences in connection with a major activity of the Chest. The actor, while with Camp Show troupes, has helped to entertain thousands of fighting Yanks in various parts of the world.

Part of each dollar contributed helps to make such shows possible. "BILL" POWER is counted on to show the volunteer solicitors why he is called "the Billy Sunday of Salesmanship." He is a special representative of the General Motors Chevrolet Division, and his talks on how to "step out and sell" have resulted in his being asked to aid many charity drives. Last year he opened both the New York and Chicago War Chest drives. FDR Appeals to Nation for Fund Contributions WASHINGTON (P) President Roosevelt appealed Tuesday night for greater-than-ever contributions to community War Funds as a token of "democracy at its best." Through War-Fund contributions, he said, "we send a token of our own personal friendship to the tragic victims of brute slavery and to those who have so long borne the burden of fighting this war the hungry, the sick and the homeless peoples of China, Russia, Brit- ain, Belgium, France, Greece, Nor- way, Poland, the Netherlands, the Philippines, and other friends and neighbors in the community of nations."

It also agreed to set aside a twenty-five-acre plot on Belle Isle to be fenced for a deer exhibit.

Deer will be shown amid natural surroundings but will not be allowed to wander on the island as at present. IT ALSO AGREED to a Detroit Zoological Commission recommendation that a new aquarium be built on the south side of Belle Isle to replace the old building. While the two proposals are on an "if and when materials are available" basis, the community house program is intended to be started as soon as possible. A REPORT AGAINST waiting until the war ends delivered by John Considine, general superintendent, who produced statistics on growing juvenile delinquency and population growth to back up arguments for quick action. Proposed community houses would be at Ferry and Elm wood; Elmwood and Congress; Wabash and Pine; Greenlawn south of Eight Mile; Nevada and Packard; Clark Park; Russell and Alger; Lahser north of Grand River; the foot of Fairview; the Van Stuben House in the Conner-Hayes area and a Delray structure at a site still to be selected.

FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLY, radio's top comedy team, open at the Broadway Capitol Friday in "Heavenly Days." Weaving its EXCITIIVC MAGIC Don Cossacks Performance Well Received EY J. D. CALLAGHAN Free Press Music Editor The twenty-seven-voiced chorus of tne Don Cossacks worked a strange and exciting magic at Masonic Temple Tuesday night.

Under the enchantment of those magnificent singers the auditorium became by turns a vast and dimly lit cathedral and the busy, roistering camp of Cossack warriors. AGAIN IT OPENED out into the imitless plains of the Ukraine. where Cossack cavalrymen wheel and thunder, and still again it became the bustling village where boy meets girl and ancients give wise admonitions. All this through the wizardry of music, presented with all the authority of a vocal orchestra and all the humanity of men who have lived well and with courage. NO ONE CAN attend a concert by Serge Jaroff's Don Cossacks without feeling heartened arid exalted by it.

The audience that filled the great hall appeared to be unanimous in that reaction, for its applause was spontaneous and sincere. The chorus, although lessened in membership because of the exegen-! cies of the times, appeared to be finer than ever. There is not a man in the group who could not be trusted with a solo line, and a good many of them were. THE TENUOUS web of sound that the voices in pianissimo create can be heard clearly and sweetly, and the vast billows of tone that are called forth at times are filled with glory. The program began, as is the custom, with a group of religious songs, among which Rachmaninoff's "Ave Maria" was a revelation.

There followed a ribald account of the exchange of diplomatic notes between the Cossacks and the Turkish Sultan. IT WAS IN THIS number that the clashing voices of the chorus recaptured the atmosyphere of a barbaric camp. A folk song, "In Red Army song. "Meadowland, evoked the heroism of the conquering Soviet soldiers. Even the time-w orn "Dark Eyes" was somehow given a complete rejuvenation by these rhaster singers.

May they sing forever! Pianist Tops in Amateur Trials A boogie woogie pianist. Ted Simms, of 8211 Georgia, drew first place in the Opportunity Night amateur trials which were presented for the first time last night on the stage of the Downtown Theatre. Second place went to Virginia Ziemba and Joan Hatala, an acrobatic team. Opportunity Night will be a regular Monday night feature at the Downtown.

HE ADDED that "we need Dewey's peace program which is based on principles and not upon personalities." "When the President went in, hig big task was furnishing jobs. We all remember how he took care of the forgotten man," the Senator declared.

It took the tax collector to find the forgotten man and then a world wide war to give him a job." He described two existing governments in Washington: "One under the Constitution" with cabinet members in it and the other "made up of bureaucrats." "The President pays no attention the cabinet members but does the bureaucrats and that's the reason for constant conflicts," he declared. iloltl il 63 I tiWiitP Oil RSil ittVK I Coming!

The "feel" of things in Iowa is vastly different, in many respects, from what it was when this cor respondent first visited the state with President Hoover in the campaign of 1932. His speech in Des Moines was Mr.

Hoover's first effort of that campaign. THE DEMOCRATIC organization in most of the counties, and. therefore, in the state has withered. The bi-partisan ticket has not been filled out in more than half of the counties. If all the Democratic candidates for the state legislature should be elected, the Republicans still would be in control.

Considering the fundamental conservatism and traditional Republicanism of the state, and all the antipathies to New Deal philosophies these entail then consider the performance of the state in 1910 you can readilx understand the tinivprsal prediction that ilowa will go Republican this year.

Numerous intangibles appear in the Iown picture which could in fluence the vote this year; such as the appeal of Mr. Roosevelt as "Commander-in-Chief," with its effect upon the silent voters and upon the service men and women, more than 50,000 of whom are expected to cast ballots.
