transfusions, yesterday presented
the Army-Navy "E" award to the
Red Cross Blood Donor Service at
ceremonies on the steps of the Red

c. Magee, surgeon general of the
Army, disclosed as he and Rear Ad.
miral Ross T. McIntire, surgeon gen.
eral OF the Navy, attributed the pre-
paredness Of the blood plasma prof.
ect to the fact that the Red Cross

long before Pearl Harbor.

his legs in the torpedoing of the
U. S. S. Kearny, raised the "E" pen
nant over national headquarters
with the words. "It makes fighting
easier and it brings victory lot

people in the United States are Civ
ing their life's blood to you and for
you"

2,4OO Afraid Sector
Posts Of City Will Be
A|erted in Friday Drill
Wurdens Soon to Get
Instructions in Using
Damage Report Forms

The city's 2,40O sector posts will be
alerted for the overall control center
drill Friday, Chief Air Raid Warden
William J. Mileham announced to-
day.
After a conference late yesterday
with Col. Lemuel Bolles, executive
director OF District civilian defense,
it was decided that all sector posts
would be covered, although not more
than 300 incidents would be dis
tributed.
In the three previous tests of the
control centers, 800 sector posts have
been alerted each time. This drill,
it was explained, would not involve
the entire warden service, but only
enough men and women to cover all
the sector posts where incidents will
be received.
At meeting of his deputy war
dens last night Chief Mileham told
the men that his assistant chiefs
would 60 into the areas shortly to
instruct the wardens in reporting in
cidents and using the report forms.
Last week it became clear the war
dens were unfamiliar with the newly
issued forms.
One of the best anecdotes to come
out of the control center tests was
told by one of the deputies. who
said woman warden had told him
she received her incident" of dis
aster involving hundreds of dead
an injured. She promptly dialed a
number and began briskly with air
raid damage report" Then she
went on to tell the voice at the
other end the extent of the disaster
and, after saying message ends"
was about to hang up when from
the receiving end she heard cry,
"Oh, my God!"
The person on the other end,
wrong number. hung up before the
warden could explain.
