of these congressman TT Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans the
ground that congress itself had vio-
lated the constitution in failing to
reapportion the various states on
the basis Of the 1910 census. 1t is
further charged that by the opera
tion of the poll tax laws of these sew
eral states, 10 millions Of citizens
are disfranchised, thereby repre-
senting an abridgement of the right
to vote as established in Section 2
of the Fourteenth amendment.
Congress will either have to null
lily the constitution or else change
the 10th congress-" Dunn said in
announcing the contests. "The Sec
ton is very plain and the courts
have ruled that it is self-executing."
Dunn later observed that "the
ballot is weapon of the exploited
against the exploiters. It's not a test
of education or a determination of
wealth" he added. "Unless you have
a vote you have no political or eco
nomic rights"
The league is headed by Moss A.
Plunkett of Roanoke, Va, who two
years opposed Rep. Clifton Wood
rum for his seat. Plunkett main
tains that the poll tax can be dis
posed of through the courts. He
cited his victory in the western dis
trict of Virginia this year where
persons becoming 21 years of age
were permitted TO vote without the
payment Of a poll tax. This maiden
vote" as it is called will continue
to be the right of those who turn
FL. Some $4,000 Negro and white
youths took advantage Of this vic
tory in November.
In two other suits now pending
in the Virginia courts the league is
upholding the right of one Saund-
ers to be a candidate at large over
the refusal Of the secretary Of state
for Virginia to list him on the ballot
and the other contests the poll tax
payments as a qualification for vot-
ing.
Dunn explained that the individ-
ual congressman challenged will
have 80 days in which to answer
the charge. Forty days will then be
allowed the league to present evil
dence and another 40 days to an
swer, with 10 days devoted to re-
buttal. Testimony can be taken by
anyone so long as it is sworn to.

When the day comes for them to leave
Washington to assume their full-time
duties the following lines from their
handbook become at last a living real
ity:
You are now working for the Red
Cross, an auxiliary to the armed forces
Of the United States. In a real sense
you are working for the American peo-
Pile, for Red Cross is the American
people. You are going to play vital
part in the fight for freedom, for you
will be right behind the fighting men
wherever they are. To do this job we'll,
you must be alert, resourceful and will

TO do this job we'll you must bring
to it sense of dedication. Above all
you must be loyal to the Red Cross, not
alone nor most Importantly because it
pays your salary, but far more because
1t sums up the ideals of service and
democracy for which we are fighting,
and because Red Cross has always stood
for these things In the eyes Of the
American people"

The thousands of Red Cross workers
serving with Americas armed forces at
home and abroad constantly are win
ming new acclaim from both servicemen
and civilians. American University, in
the suburbs of Washington, has been
the training school for these important
volunteers, and in their classes here
they have learned morale building tech
niques which are being put to good use
at military and naval camps and bases
from Iceland to the Southwest Pacific
and from Alaska to Australia.
The personnel training unit at Amer
lean University is the only one in the
Nation. From it have gone the workers
who now staff the 181 Red Cross service
clubs in 18 war areas around the globe
wherever our fighting forces are sta
toned
The corps of workers was established
IN June, 1941, when in answer to the re-
quests of the armed forces the Red Cross
set up the Services to the Armed
Forces" now referred to as the SAT-.
At American University.
The school is not part of American
University, although located on it's
campus In June, 1912, as the irereas-
ing demand for trained workers made
larger training classes necessary the
Red Cross arranged with the university
to occupy part of its facilities. The
school now is carried on in Hurst Hall
(the Red Cross uses only the first and
second floors), Women's Residence Hall,
Hamilton House and the gymnasium.
All instruction is under the exclusive
direction and supervision of the Red
Cross. Ferdinand v. Grayson heads the
unit.
Previously the training work had been
carried on at national headquarters in
merely visited around the ofnces receiv-
ing informal instruction and suggestions.
AS the groups gradually increased in
size, it became necessary to formalize
the orientation program to provide for
classroom methods of instruction.
BY November, 1912, the SAF personnel
training unit took shape to the extent
that there were four distinct divisions
within the unit, each on the basis of the
service they represented. They were:
Camp service training section, hospital
service training section, club and recrea-
ton training service and home service
training section. In July, 1943, the basic

which have seriously perplexed small
businessmen within the last few weeks.
Without expensive laboratories or re-
search facilities to solve them, the
small manufacturers stbod to lose time,
money and precious production.
A Bold, New Experiment
But each one received a quick solu-
tion-at cost OF only postage stamp
or telephone call. The bold new
experiment by which these plants and
hundreds of others are being helped to
speed the output of war material and
essential civilian goods is writing an
exciting chapter in the history of scien-
tific and industrial cooperation IN the
United States.

being routed to the country's top in
dustrial research and scientific brains.
In as short time as three days, an
swers are returned and the small plants
are ready to tackle their jobs anew
this time on a virtual par with the large
corporation which may spend millions a
year on research.
How 1t Started
The TAS stems from an effort
launched back in 1887 by Bert H. White,
vice president in charge OF investments
of Buffalos Liberty Bank. It was White
who as lieutenant colonel in the Army
Air Forces was borrowed by SWPC
to set up the Technical Advisory Service.
During lean years, White had seen
many small plants wither on the bough
for lack of scientific knowledge to keep
pace with developments in their field.
Deciding to do something about it, he
formed chronological clearing house"
which the bank called Research Ad-
visory Service.
He enlisted the cooperation Of about

The training unit was housed on the
second floor of the Printcraft Building,

Gus missions, recuperate after minor ILL
nesses. Often few days in one OF
these rest homes, 50 reminiscent of their

between a man cracking up or going
back on the job to complete his tour
of missions over enemy territory with
his nerve intact.
To reach American troops which are
widely dispersed in isolated sections, the
American Red Cross in October of 1912
inaugurated clubmobile service. Each
clubmobile is a specially constructed
mobile unit, stated by American girls
who serve doughnuts and coffee on
regular visits to these isolated bases and
stations not served by permanent clubs.
A regular. scheduled route is established
so that clubmobile reaches isolated
units at regular intervals Where pos
sible, moving pictures, games and other
forms Of recreation are arranged for
the troops.
