Local committees usually have given approximately one-half the total con-
tributions. In order to analyze the sources they tapped and their problems

varying sums. In 1933 the range among the committees was from $5 to
$7,300; two years later from $45 to $2,200; in 1937 from $50 to $4,100; and
in 1938 from $35 to $3,400. For all of the 14 committees, the total given
