To Seek $500,000 For Athletic Plan
The Chinese sent only squad-size
Spokane, Wash. — (U.P.) The National Amateur Athletic union may appeal to the American public next year for a $500,000 fund to finance an expanded amateur sports program, it was indicated today.
AAU Secretary Dan Ferris, of New York, said the proposed half-million dollar fund would be 10 times the organization's present budget and would go toward a stepped-up program and establishment of full or part-time offices in each of the nation's 47 district associations.
Plans for the unprecedented appeal were approved yesterday by the national AAU executive committee, thus virtually assuring passage by some 300 delegates to the group's 64th annual convention now under way.

Hached, 47, was one of the top leaders in the Neo-Destour (new independence) party which has waged an unremitting campaign of violence against the French in an effort to win freedom from French rule.
As secretary general of the General Workers union, he directed the activities of 80,000 Arab workers.
During the past year, Arab terrorist attacks have left 116 persons killed, 620 wounded and an estimated $30 million in damage to property.
Pro-French elements in the protectorate were reported recently to have organized a counter-terrorist "Red Hand" organization to "fight fire with fire."
