Hopes for Larger Gifts.
Commenting on the anonymous
$4,000 gift, campaign leaders said
they hoped others would follow this
mans example and send in addi-
tional gifts, since their earlier ores
probably were predicated to large
extent upon their past experience
in the annual Roll Calls every
one must give to the limit of his
or her ability if the Red Cross is
to meet its responsibilities to the
armed services in full measure"
Campaign headquarters reported
that a messenger from the COM
merce Department dragged a mail
sack full OF contributions into the
accounting room, the sack contain
ing gifts totaling s10,337.35. OF this
sum the Bureau of Census contrib
uted s5,l44.39; the Coast and Geo.
detic Survey, $1,34e.45. and the
Weather Bureau, S1,215.76.
Other Government unit contribu-
tions brought to headquarters since
Fridays luncheon meeting included
9,466.68 from 1914 Army Signal
Corps donors, S6,313.25 from the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. and
$500 from the Civil Service Com
mission.
The mail also brought a check for
$3.50 from the Carnegie Illinois
Steel Corps Washington office, sup
plementing an earlier gift of $3.50
to the 1943 campaign here. Andrew
j. Snow, sales manager in charge,
wrote:
"1nasmuch as the call this year
has been so great it is with a great
deal of pleasure I am able to attach
hereto our further check for $3.50,
together with my own personal
check in the amount of $72. cov-
ering contributions of employees"

tor, yesterday issued the following
statement:
We urge every one to take ad-
vantage of the week end to make
calls, since it affords them an op-
portunity to contact many persons
whom they cannot see through the
week. We also urge all area chair
men in the residential division and
all area and team captains in the
city division to attend MONDAYS
meeting and bring their reports"
Discussing general campaign prog
ress, Mr. Bishop explained that
campaign officials expect substan-
tial squirt in contributions from
business houses and Government
departments and bureaus after to-
morrow. the income tax deadline.
In addition to this factor, Mr..
Bishop pointed out that the stag
gered Government paydays have
had an effect on contributions from
Government employees, many Of
whom will make their gifts at later
stages Of the campaign.

He remarked that the Finnish

a number of German fighting units
on Finnish soil and that we are
at war with Germany, that the
Firms allow so-called Finnish volun-
teers to participate as units of the
| German Army on the Russian front
and that leaders In the Finnish
war effort have proclaimed that
one OF Finland's war aims Is the
annexation of certain Russian ter
ritory, which means that the Firms

Helpful Driver
| Just Picks Up
Load of Trouble

An Alexandria motorist was only
trying to be helpful yesterday when
she picked up several soldiers seek
ing a lift into Washington, but
before she reached the city she
wondered If it was really worth the
trouble.
She first stopped for an Army
sergeant in Alexandria. At the out
skirts she picked up two more
privates this time.
There was a stony silence for
about a minute, then the top kick
sounded off:
Il thought I told you guys no
passes. What you trying to do,
break up the Army?"
The privates countered with an
explanation that they had appealed
to a higher authority. That only
made the sergeant madder.
You are still AWOL in my outfit"
shouted the sergeant.
The last the motorist saw of the
three they were standing at Four
teenth street and Independence
avenue still in heated argument.

Valid Date Of Coupon,
For Fuel Oil Won't
Be Advanced by 0PA
Decision Indicated as
Mercury Falls; 20
Degrees Seen Tonight

With the cold wave expected to
continue tonight, the ONCE of Price
Administration indicated today it
the validity date of No. fuel oil
coupons for the relief of consumers
who have used up all their No. 4
coupons.
After respite yesterday, cold
weather set in again today bring
ing the mercury down to a low of
18 degrees this morning-l0 de-
grees below the minimum pre-
dicted yesterday. A low of 20 de-
grees was forecast for tonight.
The Weather Bureau forecast con-
tinued cold tonight, with gentle
winds.
This mornings low occurred at
1920 o'clock. The thermometer
climbed to AZ degrees at pm. yes
terday, this being the first time it
had risen above the freezing point
since last Saturday night.
Park police called a halt to ice
skating on Lincoln Memorial Re-
flecting Pool at 7 o'clock last evening
after the sun had melted the ice
close to the danger point. Skating
will not be permitted today or until
ice has reformed to safe thick
ness, police said.
OPAs attitude on the fuel oil cou-
pons was expressed by a spokesman
after Leon Scott. director of the oil
heating division of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association. YES
terday sent telegram to Joel Dean,
director OF OPA's fuel-rat tioning
division. asking that No. coupons
be made valid at once instead of on
March 7, as scheduled.
Mr.. Scott warned that such a step
would be necessary "to relieve the
suffering and eliminate the hazard
to health and life" He said he had
made a survey of oil dealers in the
District and had found that hun
dreds Of home owners are without
oil because they have no valid cou-
pons to exchange.
The OPA official said that the
agency was considering problems
that have arisen as the result of the
current cold spell here and in the
New England States, but that there
was little likelihood of the validity
date for No. 5 coupons being ad-
vanced at this time. He said, how
ever, it was possible that these cou-
pons would be made valid in about
10 days-a week before they would
normally become redeemable.
1t was pointed out that the value
Of the coupons for each period de-
pends on the amount of supplies
actually available in each area, and
that it was still too early to set a
definiate value for No. coupons.
No. S coupons are the last for the
current heating season. They are
valid from March 7 through Sep
tember 80, thus giving consumers a
chance to fill up their tanks during
the summer and also providing a
means for householders who heat
water with oil to get necessary fuel
during the heatless months.
