Donations 60
To Refugees
Red Cross Money
Only to Needy

Assurance that the war relief
supple. destined for Europe would
be delivered directly to refugees
under supervision Of American Red
Cross officials. was contained in a
telegram received Thursday by 2.
Eugene Emmons. chairman Of the
Red Cross war relief drive in Pierce
county.
In an effort to clarity a situa-
ton that has developed through
occupation OF France by German
soldiers, Red Cross officials point
out that money donated by Ameri-
cans does not in any way aid sg-
gressor armies, as supplies. food
and other materials are distributed
through Red Cross agencies only to
refugees and those designated to
receive help.
Information on this matter was
received at the Red Cross office.

A. L. Schafer. Pacific area man.

Relief supplies being dispatch
ed TO Europe on basis OF definite
agreement with German govern
ment that our supplies will be dis
tributed by Red Cross agents under
supervision of American Red Cross
representatives and that in no case
will they be confiscated or sppro-
pristed TO uses Of German govern
ment We have every assurance
from our trusted representatives
In Europe that this policy is being
rigidly adhered to and that our
supplies absolutely remain in pos
session of the Red Cross until they
actually reach refugees for whom

SUFFER HURTS
Bus Drivers Skull Is
Fractured In Acct
dent Sunday

Frank Reeves, a Tacoma pus

rail.
His skull fractured, and suffer-
ing from a back injury and rup-

The driver was taken to the
hospital by police after his car
crashed into the railing on the
north side of Sixth ave-. about
block west of the Alexander

is an employee of the Tacoma Rail
way & Power Co.
The five others hurt were IN
volved in a two-car crash on the

cuts and bruises at the Fort Lewis
hospital. They were Stanley Mis-
koski, 5121 So. Cakes st, his nine
year-old daughter, and Roy Chand-
