Move to Save Blood
Program Launched
An effort to save the Marion
County civilian bleod program
was launched Monday night by
the Community Council of Sa
lem. The program is doomed to
end July 1 unless the Red Cross
meets its campaign goal of
$51,000.
Terming the possible end of
the program a "community
crisis', the Council voted to
call a meeting next Monday
night to form a citizens com
mittee to save the Red Cross
blood program.
Invitations are being sent out
to scores of state, county and
city organizations and groups
who will be affected if the
blood program is allowed to
fold.
Said John A. Rademaker,
president of the Community
Council which has 350 mem
bers: "Everyone in the com
munity will be affected, actu
ally or potentially by the stop
ping of the blood program."
"Not only will blood transfu

Rademaker emphasized that
"preventive use of blood will
be less, and the quantity of

Taft Street residential property
owners won their long fight for
paving of the street, over the ob

which owns two-thirds of the af

voted 5 to 3 in favor of the pro

allowing them to force a street
improvement even if it is oppos
ed by owners of more than half
the affected property.

Mayor Alfjred Loucks, one of
the minority, said the action was
unjust because' 14 -block Taft

was designed to meet paving pro
blems of arterial streets. Alder

lution about paving because of
traffic hazards contained "fiction

M. W. Ready, 1555 Madison

entire area had a dust problem
because of heavy truck traffic
on the unpaved street entering
the Keith Brown industrial area.

the project would cost it $2,000

the end of this week.
Senate Republican leader, Taft

sessions if some, agreement isn't
reached soon on when there will
be a final vote.
Democratic leader Lyndon B.

Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) who set a

North Korean Gen. Nam H, sen

Harrison's question and suggested
a recess until 11 a.m. Wednesday, -9

delegates agreed.
Harrison told the Reds blunt
ly in, the third day's session of
the renewed talks:
"We do not intend to become
involved in protracted and useless
arguments.' The U. N. broke off .
the talks last Oct 8 for that Tea
son. Nothing New i
The senior Allied delegate said
after the meeting the Reds had
nothing new to offer.
"They brought ut the point of
settling things by consultation,"
he said. But he observed that the
Communists' apparent refusal to
nominate a neutral "doesn't indi
cate much in the way of consulta
tions" Nam H repeated several times
that balky prisoners must be tak-
en to a neutral state so their "ap
prehensions could be eliminated."
"We do not believe," he said,
"that in the environment of a neu
tral state, and after the side to.
which they, belong1 has made ex
planations to them, that there will
still be among these prisoners of
war not directly repatriated some
individuals whose apprehensions
are not eliminated and who are
afraid to return home."
Plan Unacceptable
Harrison told the Communists
for the third time in as many days
that such a proposal was unaccept
able. 0
"From your experience in prev
ious negotiations with us, you
should be well aware that we
mean wht we say," he told the
Reds firmly. i
The Allies twice on Sunday -and
Monday rejected a Com
munist proposal to send to a neu
tral nation, not named by the
Reds all prisoners refusing re
patriation after an armistice in
Korea.
There, the Communists added,
representatives of Red China and ,
North Korea could "explain" mat
ters to-the prisoners. Harrison
said yesterday it would be an in
direct way of eventually forcing
Communist prisoners to return
