l70PLASMA UNITS
BOOKED FOR CITY

One hundred and seventy units
of dried blood plasma to be usec
as a three-months supply by New
Hanover county physicians and hos.
pitfalls, is expected to be received
by the State Health department
soon, DR.. A. H. Elliot city-county
health officer said yesterday.
The plasma is being made avail
able by the American Red Cross
through the War Department and
IS a reserve supply. It will be used
in the treatment of emergency
cases without charge, according
to DR.. Elliot who said that charge
could be made for administering
the plasma, however.
Plans for distribution of the
plasma are being worked out by
DR.. John H. Hamilton, state direct
or of the laboratory of hygiene.
DR.. Hamilton, in a letter to DR.
Elliot, explained the entire quota
for the state for the first quarter
will be 6,764 units which will be
distributed in the following man
ner:
Each doctor in the state will
receive one unit to be used at his
discretion. Institutions which are
members of the American Hospital
association will receive one unit
for each four beds.
The New Hanover county total
DR.. Elliot pointed out, will be
divided among the three hospitals
in Wilmington which have tota
of 495 beds and to the 81 white anc
eight colored doctors.
DR.. Hamilton wrote that his Of
flee would write each eligible re
cipient of the plasma explaining
the regulations surrounding its
use. The physicians and hospita
officials must then wire or write
to the State laboratory making re
quests for the substance.
In his letter, DR.. Hamilton
pointed out that sufficient mum
bers of doctors will not ask fol-
the plasma which will allow a re
servoir or ''blood bank" to builc
up to care for any emergency
which may arise demanding more
than the normal amount of plas

worry facing his family at present
Some call it low wages; others
say it is high prices that are caus'
ing the trouble, but it adds up TO
the high cost of living.
In making the survey, the In
stitute had field reporters put the
question this way:
"What is the most important
problem that you and your family
face today?"
The problems named most often
in addition to the high cost Of living,
were these:
HOUSING-The second most
frequently mentioned problem was
the housing shortage. About one
out of every six persons is mainly
troubled with finding suitable quar-
tiers as his most important problem
at the present time.
FOOD - The third most frequent
" mentioned problem drought up
6y about one in every ten) are the
difficulties encountered in getting
FOODS of various kinds, clothing,
fuel for winter heating and other
basic equipment.
JOBS-It may come as surprise
to some that jobs appear this far
down in the list, mentioned by only
about nine in every one hundred
persons. Many experts had antici-
pated that reconversion would place
jobs as the nations No, 1 problem
by this time. This does not appear
to have happened.
Here is list of the outstanding
problems, judged on the number
Of persons who mentioned them.

the committees executive session, it
was said.
Chairman McCarran announced he
was opposed b. the OMahoney plan
because, he said, it would permit
Congress, by subsequent legislation,
to give the District voting repre-
sentation in the House, whereas the
Territories of Hawaii and Alaska
now have but one delegate each
and these have no right to vote on
legislation.
Adoption of such a plan. he con-
tinued. would raise demands that
the Delegates from Hawaii and
Alaska be given voting representa-
ton in the House. incidentally
this discussion recalled that Senator
McCarran just recently introduced
bill to provide for the admission
of Alaska as the 49th State.
The Nevada Senator also revived
the suggestion that IF the status
of State" were conferred on the
District then the inevitable result
would be the loss of $6,00o,000 Fed
eral payment
Otherwise, he argued, every State
in the Union" would demand SIM
liar payment from the United States.

On the other hand, Senator Nc
Carran continued, the Federal pay
ment toward the District should be
increased, and he said he was ready
to vote to raise it to as much as
$40 900 900.
Insisting that the present status
of the District should be continued
'as it is" Senator McCarran re-
called that the l0-mile square area
was set aside here as the seat of the
Federal Government because Con-
gress had been run out" of Phila-
delphia, and that it had sought to
make the new Capital a place where
neither Congress nor the President
would have to contend with Inter
| ference"
IF being deprived Of a vote is toe
much for the residents of the Dis
Crict," he said, II am satisfied there
are many places in the United States
able and willing to give 10 miles
square, or even 20 miles square, as
a site for the seat of the Federal
Government-and then Washington
could have the vote.
When one reporter asked him
how about Nevada, he replied: Ne
vada would be glad to give 40 miles
square and along with it complete
freedom from local political activ-
tiles"

Lubin Fears Fascist Trend

BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Feb. ll.-A serious,
prolonged depression easily could
become the basis for a Fascist
movement in this country, DR.. Isa-
dore Lubin, former commissioner
of labor statistics, warned the l4th
General Assembly of the Council
of Jewish declarations and Welfare
Funds here last night.
THE next Is months will de-
termine the eventual course OF
American economy" he told ap-
proximately 1000 delegates from
234 cities in the United States and
Canada. The assembly ends today
The problem facing this Nation
he declared, is not merely recon-
version to peace "but rather recon-
version in a manner which will
make it possible to avert another
depression three or four years
thence"
II am convinced" DR.. Lubin said
that our system of free enterprise
cannot stand another shock similar
to that experienced in the early
'30s. Unless we keep the
economic machine functioning at
a rate which will give them (the
American people, steady employ
ment and good income there will
be disillusionment and dissatis-
faction that may bring serious re-
suits"
