Dwight R. G. Palmer, president of the General Cable corp., and overall chairman of the 1951 fund campaign of the National Urban League, announced this week at a breakfast meeting at the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria that the drive has netted $205,230 of the $600,000 goal.

This week's breakfast opened the second section of the drive, which began April 24. Robert W. Dowling, president of City Investing company, and Edward F. Boyd, assistant sales manager for Pepsico company, are co-leaders of this section of the drive.
Palmer and Dr. Channing H. Tobias, director, Phelps-Stokes fund, headed the two-week effort just completed.
