Washington Is Asked
To Top 1925 10000
Blood Donations
PIusmu Stock Needed
Before New War Drive,
Red Cross Points Out

An appeal to Washington to eX.
ceed in large number during 1874;
the 10000 blood donations given by
Metropolitan Area residents in 1942
was made today by the District Red
Cross Donor Center.
AS men and women streamed to
the Naval Hospital at Twenty-third
and c streets NV. to start the new
year right by giving blood for the
saving of lives of wounded soldiers
and sailors, Capt. Bernard Brookes
veteran flyer and test pilot. had the
honor conferred on him of being the
first person to make a donation this
year. 1t was his eighth donation.
A point emphasized by Red Cross
officials was that plaSma processed
from blood must precede any big
military push.
Factor on Front Line.
when a wounded soldier is re-
stored to duty through plasma, it
means a definite increase in mill
tary efficiency and the ultimate
shortening of the war, for these men
already have been trained and thus
can 60 back into battle as soon as
they are recuperated" an official
emphasized. "It is not a matter of
medical glory, but definite military
gain that results from restoring
wounded men to battle stations.
Before an offensive begins, sup
plies and munitions are assembled.
Plasma must be available before a
battle starts. When a man is shot
down, his need for this life-saving
liquid is immediate. If the Ameri-
can people will think of making
donations in terms of saving lives
our casualties will be decreased.
That is the big point we want to
stress. Donations are needed now
to take care of future situations" p"
During 1912 the donor center, un-
der the direction of Mrs. Dorothy
Mason Walton, who resigned her
post as of yesterday obtained more
than 10000 donations. The actual
number through December 26 was
39,998, with donors in the last five
days augmenting that total.
Donations Multiply.
The blood bank was opened in
June, 194l During the last seven
months of 1941 the total donations
was 2,494, including 1874 that fol-
lower the Jap sneak attack on Pearl
Harbor.
Indicating the widespread re-
sponse to the blood bank appeal,
27,440 donations were made here
during the last seven months of 1912,
as compared with 2,494 in the CORE
spending 194l period. The largest
total obtained in any month was the
4,886 recorded in october. The
steady growth of the donor line
from 1874 in June, 1941, to more
than 1000 in December, 1912, is a
source of qualification to the Dis
trict Red Cross officials.
Yet the demands of the military
services have been stepped up.
They are asking the blood bank for
10000 donations each month.
