Disasters S1.5fii'hse al
States During Year
Red Cross Aids 100000 Persons
Following CataStropheS

That the past year has not been an
easy one for the American Red Cross Is
shown in a recent report listing dis,
asters necessitating Red Cross reliet
throughout the United States during
the past twelve months.
The report reveals that 1923 domestic
disasters called for Red Cross aid in
l247 counties of Al states. and that
assistance was given to 420.0U0 persons
who were disaster victims.
"That this has been a very active
year is obvious when one compares
this years operations with the average
of 80 disasters requiring Red Cross aid
annually for the past Is years." Chair
man Norman H. Davis said in com.
|menting on the Red Cross Disaster
Relief Service report.
These catastrophes Included cloud
bursts, cyclones. epIdemics, fires
foods, forest fires. hailstorms. mine ex
blossoms. a school bus accident. ship
wreck. tornadoes. typhoons. and wind
storms.
Disaster reliet was the first human
tartan work of the American Red Cross
after its organization IN 1881. MI
Davis said in the ensuing 81 years
the flag of the Red Cross has flown
upon every scene of major disaster IN
the United States. The Red Cross has
carried relief-food. clothing. shelter
medical aid. rehabilitation OF homes
and families-to more than 1900 scenes
Of disaster at home and abroad. and
has expended over $140,O0G,O00 con
fributed by the American public in this
work of mercy"
The Red Cross policies OF relief, the
national chairman pointed out, have
been established over period of years
through actual experience of its work
ers in the field. Relief Is given on
the basis of need of sufferers-not OF
losses. Loans, he pointed out, are never
made, but relief is gift from the Red
Cross in the name of it's members and
contributors to its work.
sit would not be possible for the REQ
relief activities without the help of
thousands of volunteer workers." Mr.
Davis said. volunteers are the main
stay of the organization, and in the
past years work assistance from many
cooperating agencies has made it pos
sible for US to answer the many calls
for help"

CHAMP IN Pete
Washington Times Staff Photo
BY BOB ADDIE

Every so often, from the spray
of leather churned by thousands
of boxers, there emerges one
fighter who stands out like an ink
blot on a white linen suit. Such a
fighter Is Pete Scalzo, of New
York, who meets Tony Dupre, OF
New Hampshire, in the second
of Goldie Ahearn's featherweight
elimination series at Griffith Sta
dium tonight.
Scalzo. to our mind, is the per-
feet fighter. He Synchronizes every
movement into symphony OF
flowing rhythm, and as a music
lover is enthralled by q great
voice: an art student by master
piece, and a writer by a skillfully
woven chain of words, so is a box
ing fan captured by Scalzo.
MASTER OF TRADE
Pete moves effortlessly, like
sailboat being pushed by a breeze.
He seems to glide around the ring
and for only two years Of ap-
premiership at his trade is a mas
ter Of counter-punching, defense
and offense. His blows are timed
with the delicate precision of a
Swiss watch. He can hit and he
can take it.
The dark-eyed, handsome little
Italian will be up against a jour-
neyman boxer but one who Is per-
petually dangerous. Dupre didn't
lose a fight all last year and he
has been defeated only once in a
Washington ring.
Tony's record has been obscured
by some boys who have had more
ballyhoo, but it is doubtful if they
are better fighters. Abe Denner,
for instance, has a reputation as
one Of the fastest rising young
Sters in the game. Abe was interna-
tional featherweight amateur
champion before he got tired Of
fighting for medals.
DEFEATED DENNER
His pro bouts have been impres.

Denner met Dupre. The little
blond New Englander gave Abe a
whole education in boxing when
they met here few weeks ago,
