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.

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. 1 “While approximately $5,000,000 was received through a special disaster appeal, the Red Cross had to spend an additional $8,768,000 from its funds available for na ‘ * > i W* w.

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."
