Second UNRRA Clothing
Drive Set For January
Contributions of Clothing. Bedding Will Be
Sent to War Victims in Europe. Pacific Area

Henry j. Kaiser, National chair
man of the United National Cloth
ing Collection of the past spring,
outlined plans for a second nation
wide effort to collect clothing that
is urgently needed for overseas re-
lief.
This second clothing campaign,
which President Truman asked Mr..
Kaiser to lead. is to be known as
the Victory Clothing Collection. 1t
will begin January z and will con-
tinue through January 81. It's ma
tional goal is not to be based on
poundage. Instead, the American
people are asked to contribute
l00,OO0O0O garments, with addi-
tional shoes and bedding.
In the earlier collection, the ma
tional goal Of 15O.O0o,OOO pounds of
serviceable used clothing was more
than met. AS in that drive, the Vic
tory Clothing Collection will be
conducted by the United National
Clothing Collection, Inc. and will
be a united effort in behalf of
UNRRA (the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration
by war relief agencies together with
representative groups In the ma
TONS life, including religious and
educational groups, women's and
fraternal organizations, farm, labor,
industrial. veterans, youth and civic
groups.
Il am fully aware that this new
collection means not only effort but
sacrifice on the part Of ALL" said
Mr.. Kaiser. But 1 have word from
Governor Lehman, Director Gen.
eral of UNRRA. that the clothing
already contributed is not sufficient
to meet the now known require
ments Of the war devastated areas.
The liberated peoples of Europe
suffer continued privation and
want. Victory in the Pacific has
brought many more millions of
war victims within the range Of
our assistance"
An added feature of the Victory
Clothing Collection according to
Mr.. Kaiser is that each contributor
will be invited to enclose in the
garments goodwill" letter to the
unknown recipient overseas. II am
tremendously interested" Mr.. Kali
ser said, lin the contribution which
this expression Of international
friendship can bring to the peace
Of the world"
UNRRA will ship the clothes,
shoes and bedding contributed in
January for free distribution to the
needy and destitute In liberated
Europe, the Philippines and the
Far East. UNRRA recently an
noupced that every pound of the
clothing contributed by the Ameri-
can people just few months ago
will be in the hands of war-suffer-
ers overseas before Christmas. AL
this clothing, UNRRA officials
said. will have been shipped from
this country by October 30. UNRRA
is also shipping clothing contrib
uted to collections for war relief
In Canada, New Zealand and Aus
