In announcing the goal for the 1950 campaign, March 1-31, Gen eral George C. Marshall new Red Cross president, pointed out that the estimated cost of the Red j Cross program for the 1950-51 fis cal year actually totals $79,000,000. Rigid economies and the applica tion of $12,000,000 from almost de pleted surpluses have enabled the | organization to hold its request down to $67,000,000, General Marshall said. Last year the Red Cross raised $68,269,000 to meet an $85,000,000 budget. The dif ference was met through appli cation of surplus funds. “Lower operating budgets will not affect the essential services of the Red Cross,” General Marshall said. “In fact, some of them will | be increased by wider use of train 'ed volunteers.
