100 Per Cent Increase
In Pacific Operations
Planned by Red Cross

The American Red Cross is PLAN
ming 100 per cent increase in its
Pacific operations and this increase
must be accomplished within the
next six months, Basil O'Connor,
chairman Of the National American
Red Cross, said yesterday.
Right now, he said, there are
enough recreation huts, clubs and
welfare units with the front-lire
troops In the Pacific, but the Red
Cross is not yet prepared to do
the same kind of job it did in
Europe for the huge armies and
fleets already on their way to fight
the Japanese. His statements were
made in the course of a program
broadcast over Station WRC.
"A small part of our increased
Pacific staff will come in with their
divisions or hospitals from Europe"
MIR. OConnor continued, "but mostly
new recruits will be required to
do the job. I'm not worried about
getting them, however, since there
are still hundreds of men and
women who know that the war is
far from over and who still want
to be of service"
The transporting and housing Of
personnel and equipment offer per-
picking problems, he said, because
Of the great distances involved and
the lack of priority ratings in ship
ment. "All the Red Cross trans
portation must come from either the
Army or the Navy" he pointed out,
"and howitzers and bullets have
the right of way over playing cards
and soft drinks" He added that
another problem he became aware
of while on a recent tour of the
Pacific area was "the enervating
heat, which, if the human spirit
succumbs to 1t, takes all energy and
ambition to do a good job right
out of you"
Mrs. N. Bob Armbrust, who re-
turned in April after "a months as
Red Gross medical social worker
in hospitals in Australia and New
Guinea, took part in the program.
She emphasized the need for 750
more Red Cross medical and psychi-
atric social workers in Army and
Navy hospitals.
