Marine Private Hil liard Phillips of Cecil makes no bones about his feeling about the blood given through the Red Cross for military and civilian needs. Though he is not certain of the ex act amount "It's hard to remem-ber-T-I was just about out" he thinks he has received ten pints of whole blood and twro of blood plasma since he was injured in Korea last August. Private Phillips is an artillery man. His assignment with B Bat tery, lllh Marines, First Ma rine Division, took him to the fighting about twelve miles west of Manan. "They don't tell you what particular build ing is your target; but there's one thing sure. When you fire, you always get return fire." The dead ly return fire in this ease was a 122 millimeter mortar shell. It struck B Battery's position, kill ing two men and injuring seven, including Phillips. A medical corps man administered first aid and bandaged the injuries to both Phillips' legs and his left arm. A stretcher carried him to a First Aid station about a hundred yards back of the gun emplacement, and inside of minutes ha was being ad ministered blood plasma to combat shock. The nexf move was to a hospital in Pusan, where in a day and a half he received two pints of whole blood. From there he went to Japan, to the Tokyo General Hos pital, where two more transfusions were necessary. His condition improved to the point where he could be flown a cross the Pacific, and two and a half weeks after the explosion of (he shell, he arrived at Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland, Cali fornia.

Mr. Grogan first went to see Governor Scott, and then the Util ities Commission, where he talked to Harry T Wescott, a member of the commission, and Mr Chase. Governor Scott expressed keen interest in the project, Mr Grogan reported, and instructed his secre tary to tell the Utilities Commis sion "he wanted action for this area."
