President Benswanger of the

Pirate boss for the opportunity to

OTHERS DUE FOR TRIAL
When the Pirates and Indians
yield trials to Gibson, Bankhead,
Wells, and Day-and to Woods, re-
spectively, it is regarded as certain
ty that the Philadelphia Phillies,
through President Gerald Nugent
and Manager Hans Lobert, will
also give chances to Roy Campanel-

more Elite Giants, and to David

bad MAN" AT PLATE
In the East-West Classic, Gibson
handled 10 chances without an
error and, although purposely pass
ed twice, still cracked out two hits
in his remaining three official trips
to the plate. One of the hits drove
across a tally for the East.
Bankhead performed errorlessly
although dividing his time between
second base and centerfield. He
also scored a run and batted in a
run for the East in addition to
getting two hits in five times at
bat.
SENSATIONAL PLAY
Wells got one hit in five times
at bat, played errorless ball afield,
and turned in the fielding gem of

and pegged him out at first by a

cent address to the American So
ciety of Clinical Pathologists. Blood
plasma is the fluid portion of the
blood. Dried blood plasma which is
used in the Red Cross blood bank,
is made by freezing the plasma
and drying it under high vacuum.
In this state, it is far easier to
transport and store, than either
whole blood or fluid plasma.
Blood plasma banks in bomb
torn England are credited by Brit
ish medical scientists with having
saved the lives of thousands of
civilians who would otherwise have
died Of shock, due to injury and
loss Of blood. If United States
cities were bombed tomorrow,
however, the American Red Cross
would certainly not be able to fur
nish adequate supplies of dried
blood plasma for our civilian cas-
ualties. First call on its blood
bank comes from the armed forces.
Only 1870 of the amount of plasma
requested by the Army and Navy
is now on hand and the needs of
civilians are not considered until
the military requirements are met.
Rather than offend the numeri-
cally small, but politically power
full Southern Bourbons, the Red
Cross imposes upon potential blood
donors among the millions of
American Negroes, a shameful
blood segregation policy. Thus,
even in the face of other hurried
preparations for bombing attacks
blackouts, afraid warden drills,
etc.-the basically important task
of building up a large reserve of
blood plasma for wounded civilians
has been jeopardized by Jim Crow.

RACE HATE

o, you who boast that hate of race
Is but tiny spot upon your soul,
You cannot lend the cancer grace
By thinking it's within control.
Hates wild eyes are blind to light,
Truth and reason fall as rain on sea,
Injustice judges wrong as ever right,
And laughs down every honest plea.
To sleep and dream of brotherhood,
Build no phobias into Frankensteins,
For, dragons are things misunderstood,
That rise to burst the hearts confines.
Claim not you hold your hate in bounds,
Loosed at will to claw the bad alone,
One ribald dog begets hundred hounds
Of He'll, who know no neutral zone.
Tin-god in man too oft gives stature
With predicate that greatness is in race,
But let man hold the mirror up to Nature,
He will be shocked to view true face.
Humanity's the hope that lends the strong
A conscience rooted deeper than the sod,
And he who's anti-Any Race for long,
Will in the end prove anti-God!
