Committee: keep
troops in Korea
United Press International
WASHINGTON — American
troops would suffer immediate and
substantial casualties in war even if
President Carter s withdrawal of
fighting ground forces from South
Korea was already complete, a Se
nate group told the president Tues
day.
we have a chance to complete the
overall reassessment” of North ver
sus South Korean military strength.
Carter’s withdrawal plan calls for
leaving U.S. jet fighters and 9,000
airmen as well as 7,000 Army sup
port troops, even though he would
pull all the ground combat forces out
by the end of 1982.
The Armed Services Committee
met with President Carter, urging
him to halt withdrawals because new
intelligence judgments indicate
North Korea is more powerful than
previously thought.
The group said the continued mili
tary presence as well as thousands of
American civilians living in South
Korea, would limit U.S. ability to
stay out of a war and lead to “im
mediate and substantial casualties.”
Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., said in a
news conference that to go ahead
“would decrease deterrence, and
any time you decrease deterrence
you increase chances of war.”
Nunn said U.S. combat forces are
needed in South Korea at least “until
Nunn said the new intelligence
judgments, based on reevaluation of
satellite photos, SR71 intelligence
plane flights and other data, give
North Korea 25 to 30 percent greater
military capability than previously
believed.

United Press International
NEW YORK — If community
funds for charity in the United States
are to close the inflation gap between
giving and purchasing power, which
reached $65 million as early as 1965,
giving by corporations will have to
grow enormously.
John D. deButts, chairman of
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co., has been conducting a cam
paign for just that.
Under deButts’s leadership, the
United Way, the league whose name
virtually all community funds are
known by today, has formulated a
national corporate development
program aimed at increasing com-

pany gifts from $320 million in 1977
to $900 million a year in 10 years.
Traditionally, the biggest givers to
United Way have been working
people, through campaigns con
ducted in offices and plants. United
W'ay figures show the workers still
give about 48.7 percent of the money
raised; corporations, about 25 per
cent.
For years the corporate gifts and
the contributions of rich individuals
were lumped during a local cam
paign in “the big gifts division” and
this division was run rather
haphazardly compared with the care-
ful programming of the campaign
among the workers.
DeButts’s efforts, based on a
guideline worked out by a team of
Bell System economists, already
have succeeded in raising corporate
gifts.
The formula fills a thick pamphlet,
but it works something like this:
A company has 43,000 domestic
workers. Its average annual wage in
1976 was $10,525. It earned $3,700
per employee before taxes. The for
mula produced a contribution
guideline factor of $18.75 per em
ployee or $806,250, which deButts’s
group said this company should do
nate to United Way campaigns in the
cities where it operated. The con
tributions coming from the custom
ary campaigns among workers in the
company’s factories and offices also
were collected as usual.
The deButts group already has
persuaded 117 companies, many of
them on the Fortune 500 list, to
adopt the contribution guidelines.
The companies also have company
wide employee campaign commit
ments. Another 27 large companies
have committed themselves to the
