Blood Flown From D. T..
Helps Arizona Man
By the Associated Press.


PHOENIX, Ariz., March 90
Blood flown here from Washington,
D. c., brought slight improvement
yesterday in the general condition
of A. E. Robinson, So, Indian reser-
vation superintendent, who is threat
ened with blindness due to staphy-
lococcus ulcers.
James Skinker, 16-year-old Chevy
Chase, Md, youth, who recovered
from a staphylococcus infection, was
the donor of the rare type of blood,
which physicians believe will help
Robinson.
A TRANSMISSION was given Mr.. Rob-
inson Immediately after the blood
arrived here by plane. Skinker was
unable to fly here because of weak
heart.
The search for other donors con-
tinued because Mr.. Robinson will
need at least one TRANSMISSION daily,
the doctors said, and Skinker was
unable to give enough blood to sat-
iSfy the need.
