Considering the character of it's

to defend. The people of the coun-

right to expect candor from the

Though for six weeks he has now

could bring them to light (or even
get a confidential view of them)
it would not only satisfy it's own
desire for realism but would serve
the national interests.
Little Chance of Getting Report.
OF course, the chances are that
even should the committee ask for
the report now it would not get it.
The President would simply repeat
that what he has is confidential.
There is no way for anyone to go
back of that.

The officers, dressed in their

with Identification papers, letters,

three-year-old trees. This fixes

National Red Cross Drive
Tops Goal by $4,000, 900

The l943 Red Cross War Fund
campaign raised s13ooo,ooo more
than the s125,ooOo0 minimum goal
set, Walter S. Clifford, national
chairman, said today.
I'm spite of March income tax
payments and continued purchase of
War bonds, millions of people-un-
doubtedly record number-haye
contributed generously" Mr. Clifford
declared. This is evidence that,
however difficult the problems we
face in these times, we can make
the necessary sacrifices to meet them
voluntarily and cheerfully."
Mr.. Clifford said in the few places
where the goal was not reached the
campaign will continue, "as it is
necessary for them to secure their
quotas in full in order to meet their
Red Cross needs locally"
THUS" Mr.. Clifford added. "the
final amount will be somewhat
greater than is now reported. And
so the American Red Cross. through
the generosity and understanding of
the American people, will be able to
continue in full its urgent and vital
services in the year to come"
