vices, and its other activities, the j
American Red Cross has set an
“absolute minimum" goal of $85,
000,000 for its 1952 Fund cam
paign, E. Roland Harriman, Red
Cross president, has announced.
“The campaign will be an ap
peal to ail Americans to join in
answering the plea of suffering
humanity — of human beings ini
need or distress across the street I
or across the nation,” Mr. Harri
man said The theme will be
“Answer the Call.”
“The Red Cross is an organiza
tion made up of the people them
selves," Mr. Harriman stated.
“When it acts anywhere, it is the
people acting in behalf of those
in need—doing what each individ
ual would do if he were at the
scene of disaster or at a soldier's
side in Korea. And it is the peo
ple who make Red Cross work
possible through their volunteer
efforts and contributions.”
The fund campaign will be held
March 1-31, with John S. Sinclair,
of New York City, President of
the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, as national chairman.
The goal was set by Red Cross
Board of Governors after exhaus
tive study of the agency's pro
% gram.
“At no time, other than in the
midst of a world's wide war, has
there ben greater or more im
pelling human need for the peo
ple to meet through their Red
Cross," Mr. Harriman stated. “For
our armed forces alone it has
been necessary to double the Red
Cross field staff serving military
installations. Cases handled by
our personnel at camps and hos
pitals increased 50 per cent last
▼ year over the year before and our
armed forces continue to grow."
The Red Cross Blood Program
will also continue to meet emerg
ency needs, Mr Harriman said.
Dogged Resistance |
"PINKif," a collie dog owned by
Walter Haliburda, of Detroit,
,'ailed to bite the hand that fed
him—and so he is being punished.
Burglars who broke into the house
while the Haliburda* were out,
! kept “Pinkie” silent by giving hinr
a feast of dogfood and got awaj
with $2,500. Now the dog findi
himself faced with a tempting
| dish of meat, but his owners for
bid him to eat it (International)

| During the last year the American
I people, through the Red Cross,
[provided more than a half million
pints of blood for wounded fight
ing men and 1,228,500 pints for
sick and injured citizens. The or
ganization is now operating 43 re
gional blood centers and 11 de
fense centers.
“In disaster relief the Red Cross I
spent $13,768,000 to help victims!
of the midwestern floods of last
summer,” Mr. Harriman stated.

was received through a special
disaster appeal, the Red Cross had
to spend an additional $8,768,000

Report Air Loss
In Korean Area
West people ao not realize it
but the U. S. Air Force has suf
fered heavier losses than enemy
r ?c--. i".- the K,’V.o
The latest summary report by the
Far Eastern Air Force shows .he
Communists have lost 339 planes. J
while the U. S. Air Force,.b'li.iusf '
summary esti- j
mates there have been another ]
one hundred Red planes proba
bly destroyed and some 38? dam
aged. No figures were released on
damaged U. S planes
It was noted by U. S. Air Force
officials that "steadfastly inten
sified" anti-aircraft fire had ac
counted for the major proportion
of Allied losses. This is because
U. S. Air Forces are concentrat
ing on strafing and disruption of
enemy transport while enemy
planes generally do not operate
over U. N. supply lines in South
Korea.
In the actual air-to-air fighting.
U. S. jets h;\ve a distinct advan
tage in the kills recorded thus
far, although the ratio of victory
has declined in recent weeks. Of
the Communist losses, 204 wore
jets, while U. S. jet losses have
been only 170. Considering the
fact that some of the U. S. jets
have been knocked down by
ground fire, while practically none
of the enemy jets were downed
by ground fire, the ratio of aerial
combat successes by U. S. jets is
clearly obvious. In considering
tional emergencies.
"The ability of the organization
to meet another emergency com
parable to the devastating Kansas
floods and to carry on its other
vital programs will depend on the
public’s response tq the March ’52
Fund appeal," Mr. Harriman said.
“Therefore, the $85,000,000 goal
must not merely he reached but ;
generously oversubscribed To
carry out this work of mercy the
Red Cross must have the funds to
I meet the needs of our men and
I women in uniform, of disaster
I victims, and of the sick and
wounded who must-have blood
Filling these needs is worthy of
pur maximum efforts and of the
full participation and generosity
Inf our people."
