Red Cross Campaign
Moves Into Full Swinq
With 9.07% Reported

Red cross campaign workers to-
day were visiting prospective con-
tributors in both business and resi-
Dental areas as the drive moved
into full swing, following the first
report meeting yesterday.
Contributions of $71.425, or GOT
per cent of the Metropolitan Area
goal of $787,650, were announced
yesterday at the meeting in the
United States Chamber of Com
merce Building. Randolph G..
Bishop, campaign director, said this
was almost per cent ahead Of the
percentage reported at the first
meeting of workers last year.
-Four units made reports. The
City Unit announced II gifts for
s3,288, or 783 per cent of quota;
Residential, 375 gifts for 50 ,499, or
1905 per cent; General Business re-
ported 5000, or 21.44 per cent, and
Government, 467 gifts for $9,337, or
253 per cent. The total number of
givers was 3,025.
Vandegrift Praises Work.
One of the first Government Of
fees to meet its quota was the Tax
Court of the United States, with
130 per cent reported.
Gen. A. A. Vandegrift, Marine
Corps commandant, told the volun-
teer workers the "ever ready and
helping hand of the Red Cross here
in the States where it has helped
the families of servicemen, has done
more to raise the morale of men
in the Marine Corps than any other
single thing"
Gen. Vandegrift said when he
thought of the Red Cross his first
thought was Of blood plasma being
given to men badly wounded in the
fighting on Pacific islands.
The Marine Corps is a small out
fit compared to the size of the Army
and Navy, he said, yet there are
still 1000 Marines in naval and
veterans hospitals for whom the
war is far from over"
Must Not Forget.
With the screaming headlines of
war gone, the public is likely to for
get these men and get the idea the
| Red Cross does not need the $6O,-
000,0 900 which is the National Red
Cross goal, Gen. Vandegrift added.
"It Is up to you workers." he said,
ito see that they don't forget"
Joseph c. Grew, chairman of the
local campaign, paid tribute to the
work OF the special gifts unit under
the Craftsmanship of Robert Woods
Bliss. This unit, which solicited the
"big gifts" in advance OF the general
drive, turned over the money it COL
lected to other campaign units and
made no report of it's own.
Mr.. Grew said of its work, how
ever, that "if all carry out their
work as Mr. Bliss and his group
have done. the drive will be sue
cess"
The Navy Band Orchestra played
and the American Male Chorus sang
several selections.
Police Aim for Quota.
Inspector Walter H. Thomas, act
ing major and superintendent,
called upon members of the Metro
politan Police Department to con-
tribute to the departments quota Of
$4,388.15 in memorandum sent to
all bureaus, precincts and depart
ment heads today.
Last year the police department
made SO per cent of the quota, In
spector Thomas said. The quota for
this year Is lower and it is hoped
that it will be subscribed to 100 per
cent, he said.

possible was done for the mother
and baby.
Plaintiffs Attorneys H. Mason
WEIGH and Donald S. Caruthers had
sought to show the doctors injured
the mother and child by unskillful
diagnosis and treatment. They con-
tended the baby's birth was induced
prematurely at 51a months and
that consequently both the mother
and child suffered LII health later.
In his decision given orally from
the bench, Justice Bailey ruled that
injury to the mother or child had
not been shown.

Appeal Is Considered
As Baby Case Against
| Doctors Is Dismissed

Prospects of carrying $4O0, ,OO0
suit against two doctors to the Unit
ed States Court of Appeals were
being considered today after Justice
Jennings Bailey in District Court
yesterday afternoon dismissed the
case. Justice Bailey granted the
motion of Drs. Jacob Kotz and Nor
ton S. kaufman of 1885 I street
NV, the defendants, for a directed
verdict.
Defense Counsel Austin F. Can

successfully that the plaintiffs, Mr.
and Mrs. Leroy D. Bonbrest and
their five-year-old daughter, Bette
Gay. of 1901 Forty-fourth place
