For Policy On Blood Donations
Robinson Says
Tradition, Sentiment
Control Bias

The American Red Cross through
DR.. G. Candy Robinson, national
director. answered the letter OF DR..
James j. McClendon. president De-
tr0it NAACP, with a characteristic
reply OF the social implication In
yolved in mixture OF hloods of two
races. According to DR.. Candy's
letter OF December %. the whole
matter is one OF tradition and SEN
timent" blu. feels that no change
can be made at the present time.
His letter reads:
December %, 194l
Il have read with interest and
sympathetic feeling your letter OF
December 10th regarding the Ne
gro blood donor problem. Enclos-
ed IL a statement that has been
FORMULATED which explains the stu
alton.
Personally, am very much IN
lerested In the Negro problem and
am member OF Maryland State
Board, OF which nearly half the
members are colored, for the direc-
ton OF one OF the colored schools
for delinquents. / have much re-
spect and friendship for my coll
leagues on the board. and have dis
cussed this matter with one Of
them. so want you 10 know that
| am not a prejudice person.
Tho question OF mixing the
bloods Of two races is one OF much
deeper social implication than the
Red Cross can control. and after a
great deal OF thought The Army
took the position that Is indicated
in this statement. would be glad
to talk over this matter with you
1T length II II were possible. but Il
is not OF course at this distance.
There are OF course certain techni-
cal problems involved in the pre-
paration OF plasnla for the armed
forces. which make il almost i'm
possible to keep the bloods OF the
two races separated. /. OF course.

one OF tradition and sentiment.
rather than science. but I do not
believe than any change can be
made at the present time.
Il feel we should think OF this
matter as not being so un-AmerIcan

fusions are elven as perhaps the
ultimate symbol Of democracy.
