More Workers in Pacific

By the Associstsdprsss.

O'Connor, American Red Cross
chairman, said last night the orsan-
ization would require q $50 per cent
increase in Pacific area personnel
about $500 workers-to meet shift
ing war needs.
Steppedup staff requirements,
however. were less "perplexing"
than the increased transportation
and supply needs of the Red Cross
in the Pacific, Mr.. O'Connor said In
radio speech.
Though Mr.. O'Connor said 2,400
Red Cross workers now operate TOO
Pacific installations, he added I'VE
are by no means set up to serve the
huge armies and fleets already on
their way over from Europe"
