PLASMA REEASE TO D HOSPITALS Since 1,250,000 units of blood plasma has been declared surplus ' by the Army and would be distrib uted throughout the country by the Red Cross, local hospital officials welcomed the plan yesterday by saying, "It has been a continual fight to keep up the supply and these extra units of blood plasma should ease the situation.” George R. Darden, of James Walker Memorial hospital, explain ed an attempt was made to keep an ample supply of the plasma, in the form of a blood bank, on hand at all times. "We do this,” he reported, "by requesting persons who have been given plasma, to return the sub stance to us through three donors.” This does not always work out, he explained, for in many cases the patients cannot return the plasma. Darden says, the hospital has an ample supply of penicillin on hand by taking advantage of every op portunity to increase the ‘’bank" of the drug. The hospital, in an at. tempt to conserve the supply, has a committee composed of doctors who pass on the actual issuance of the medicant before it is given to a patient. Sgt. B. P. Atkins, superintendent of Community hospital, expressed hope they will tfe included in the list of institutions which would re ceive a supply of the life-saving substance. “We have a'fair supply on hand,” he said, “but would not have enough to combat an extreme emergency where many persons might need the treatment.” The hospital asks recipients to replace the plasma whenever possible. The supply of penicillin is also adequate for normal use, he added. Dr. W. E. Mebane, of Bulluck clinic, agreed the issuance of the plasma to hospitals would ease the continual fight which hospitals and doctors have had in keeping ahead of the demand. He explained the clinic did not keep a "blood bank” but kept an adequate supply for any immediate emergency. The supply 1« PUJ chased direct from a pharmaceuti cal house, he said. The supply of penicillin at the disposal of the clinic is also adequate, he said, explaining the clinic had built, up a supply whenever the opportunity had presented itself. According to an Associated Press dispatch from Washington, the Red Cross will distribute enough plas ma to meet civilian needs for per haps two years. This represents some 2,000.000 blood donations, it was explained. The Red Cross announcement said plans call for “every accept able hospital in every community’1 to have plasma on hand “ready for instant use in the treatment of any patient without charge for the product.” JAP COLLABORATOR DIES WHEN SUPPLY OF DRUG RUNS OUT PEIPING, Dec. 27 — (JP)— Wang Keh-min, leading North China col laborator with the Japanese, died in the military prison here Christ mas Day of an illness which local newspapers asserted resulted from his inability to obtain opium, to which he was said to have been addicted. / Official biographies differ as to whether Wang was 66 or 70 years old.
