Red Cross Seeks
Blood Gifts For
U.S. Hospitals
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON The blood of
Pennsylvania miners, Wall Street
bankers, Iowa farmwives, Holly
wood stars and D.C. government
girls saved the lives of millions
on the front lines of our world
encircling battlefields during
World War II. - . . , .
The wartime program was a
spectacular success. Now the Red
Cross is embarking on a peace
time program to provide blood
and its derivatives to the nation's
hospitals without cost for all the
people.
. Some 6,600,000 persons, aver
aging two pints each, donated
blood during the war years. Bv
January 1915 each week 100,000
persons church groups, labor
unions, students, housewives and
soldiers and sailors wore giving
blood at the 35 donor centers or
to the 63 mobile collecting units
which the Hcd Cross was operat
ing throughout the country for
the purpose.
I This project, the largest singly
' controlled medical undertaking
in history, started out in a small
way back in 1941.
The surgeons general of the
Army and Navy had requested
the Red Cross and the National
Research Council to cooperate in

largest madrone tree, located near Mt. Shep in Southern Douglas

collecting human blood to be
processed into dried plasma and
used by the Army and Navy medi
cal departments, chiefly in com
bating traumatic shock.
Such shock frequently follows
severe injuries, loss of blood or
burns and is accompanied by an
alarming fall in blood pressure
and general collapse of the pa
tient. Blood transfusion had been
the essential feature in shock
treatment.
New properties of blood were
then discovered. Their usefulness
in a wide variety of diseases be
came revealed.
...Plasma can le preserved for
one year in the liquid state. Bet
ter siill, il can be frozen and kept
at least three years. But, best of
all for modern military use, it
can be dried and later dissolved
in water. Its life-giving power
can be held in dry form for five
years in intense heat or cold, and
there is no need for expensive,
space-taking refrigerators.
On the basis that any beneficial
knowledge that can be gained
from war should be turned to the
aid of all people in time of peace,
the Red Cross is embarking on its
new program.
The Red Cross will seek an
estimated ultimate peak of 3,700,
000 blood donations annually.

The program is headed by Vice
Adm. Ross T. Mclntire, wartime
Navy surgeon general and former
White House physician. The pro

Cross Board of Governors at a
meeting in Cleveland a few

months ago.
Dr. Mclntire points out that the
source of blood is confined to the
veins of people. It cannot be com
pounded or manufactured as are
certain other biological products,
medical supplies and drugs.
Dr. Mclntire estimates that
when the program gets under
way one person in every 35 will
have to give blood at least once a
year to supply the need.
It will take time three to five
years before reaching its fullest
achievement. H will also take
money. The cost for the first year
is estimated at between $3,000,000
and $5,000,000 dollars. -
Argentina Yields
On Hemisphere
Defense Proposal
QUITANDINHA, Brazil, Aug.
25 (Jp) A big hurdle at the
Inter-American defense confer
ence was believed cleared today
with Argentine agreement that
all American nations might act
to stop an attack of any one
upon another.
The 20-nation conference has
been sitting since Aug. 15 to
draw up a treaty of mutual de
fense for the western hemi
sphere. . Argentina had insisted that
joint sanctions such as a break
off of trade and diplomatic re
lations and military action
should be called into play only
in case an American nation was
attacked from outside the hemi
sphere. She had argued that in event
of agression from within the
hemisphere, steps to stop the ag
gression should be limited to con
sultation among the American
republics.
Last night, however, she con
sented to "application of collec
tive means" to stop intra-heml-sphere
attacks, but "only after
such steps are resolved by con
sultations." A high conference source re
ported that the United States
also had accepted the compro
mise formula and said "the prob
lem now is adequately settled."
Canada Entry Wanted
Ricardo Alfaro, Panama's for
eign minister, said this should
be a "steel band of defense from
the Arctic to the Antarctic."
He declared that it should take
in strategic outlying island pos
sessions of American nations and
an extraterritorial ocean area
extending 300 miles out from the
American coasts. ,
Alfaro said Canada's inclusion
in the American defense system
was "indispensable." Canada is
not represented at the confer
ence, but the treaty drafters
were reported prepared to leave
the door open for her with a pro
vision for later signature of the
pact by non-participants in the
negotiations.
