In a shocking turn of events, Washington’s Community Chest drive has been marred by a scandal that has left officials scrambling to raise nearly $400,000 in just two days. By Tuesday, November 30, 1941, the community was expected to cough up the cash to meet the ambitious goal of $2,000,000. But it seems that some of the city’s most influential leaders have been pulling the wool over the public’s eyes, leaving the rest of the community to foot the bill.
