DRESS OF RED CROSS NOT REPO T Regarding alleged sains of surgical dressings produced by volunteer workers of the Ameri can Red Cross: Should any inquiries come to you concerning these alleged sales as a result of an article ap pearing in the February 26 issue of Time Magazine, you will find the answers to them in the fol lowing letter signed by Chair man Basil O'Connor. This letter was in reply to a similar situa tion brought up in an article ap- f tearing in the Journal of Amer can Medical . associations, but applies to any such questions concerning the Red Cross volun teer surgical dressings program. "The fact of the matter is that the two dressings offered for sale are not Red Cross dressings but were purchased from com mercial concerns. The surgeon general's office 'probably uses one hundred or more different types of surgical dressings but only eleven of .those have been furnished by the Red Cross and in recent months we have been making only three types. "None of the Red Cross dress ings have been salvaged by the war department. On i the con trary, during the past three weeks we have had a request from the surgeon general to fur nish an additional forty-three million dressings and the gauze for those is now being purchased for us by the war department. We will probably be requested to furnish additional quantities during the coming months.. "Under a law recently enacted by congress controlling the dis posal of governmental agencies of surplus property acquired in connection with the war effort, no surgical dressings, garments, or other items processed, pro duced, or donated by the Ameri can Red Cross may be disposed of except after consultation with the American Red Cross. If dur ing or at the close of the war it develops that any of the dress ings or garments produced by the Red Cross are not needed by the war or navy departments, we will undoubtedly request that these supplies be returned to us to be used in connection with our own program here and abroad."

Photographer Tells Story Of Famed Suribachi Flag Picture, Trip Up Mountain (Editor's Note: The picture of a group of United States ma rines raising the flag atop Mt. Suribachi on the south end of Iwo island has been acclaimed all over the nation as one of the most dramatic pictures of the war.

"A group of marines is climb ing up to plant our flag up there.
