Special Wooden Textile Pack
ages May Now Be Sent In Ad-
dition To Food Packages.
New York, N. Y, March 25, 1947
Extension of CARES service to
Hungary and Rumania, and the adj
dition of a wooden textile package
to the food and blanket parcels that
Americans are sending to Europe by
the hundreds of thousands, were an
nounced this week as the latest steps
in the rapidly expanding program of
CARE, non-profit government-ap-
proved cooperative organization at
so Broad Street, New York
The announcement was made by
Paul Comfy French, CARES general
manager, who said that warehouses
in Hungary and Rumania are being
set up now, land as soon as is hui
manly possible we will stockpile the
packages and begin deliveries. But
it is reasonable to anticipate that
there will be delay of some weeks
before actual deliveries can begin"
The new wooden textile package,
like the food and blanket parcels,
may be ordered at CARES head
quartsers, at a cost of $40, with de-
livery to designated individuals or

Sc to SO inches wide, in 14-ounce
herringbone weave, sufficient for a
full suit of clothing for a large man;
2 yards of cotton drill: 500 yards of
thread; one packet of needles; one
thimble; large buttons and Is small
buttons.
Other countries besides Hungary
and Rumania to which the packages
may be sent are: Austria, Belgium
Czechoslovakia, Finland, France
Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway
Poland, and Germany american
British, and French Zones and all OF
Berlin). By signed agreements with
the governments of each of these
countries, CARE packages are adj
mitted free of all duty, tax and ra-
ton regulations.
That CARE offers "the only sure
and efficient way of sending pack
ages to friends and relatives in
Europe" is the testimony of former
President Herbert Hoover, one of the
nations highest authorities in the
task of aiding war-stricken peoples
Mr.. Hoover recently made tour OF
Germany at the request of President
Truman to determine the extent of
food needs in that country.
In telegram to CARES general
manager, Mr.. Hoover wrote that hav-
ing had "the opportunity to see
CARES operation on the ground
he was convinced that ANYONE who
wishes to serve friends, relatives or
institutions served by CARE, now
has a sure way. In fact, there is no
other way where there is real GER
tainity that such packages will reach

their destination"
The food package contains basic
supplies practically unobtainable in
many European LANDS. There are 2
pounds of meat; z pounds of flour; 2
pounds of sugar, and a like amount
of vegetable shortening, chocolate
and dried milk powder; pound each
of dried apricots, prunes and coffee; a
half-pound of dried egg powder and
6 ounces of soap.
The extent to which these foods
are adaptable to the accustomed
diets in the various countries was
recently demonstrated in Washing
ton, when the chefs of the embassies
of the II countries served by CARE
prepared native dishes and served
them to a distinguished gathering of
diplomats and government officials.
Mr.. French received the congratula-
tions of the many foreign represen-
tatives on the skill with which the
package was designed to meet the
needs of the families abroad.
Also proving popular with Ameri-
cans eager to aid friends and rela-
tives is the blanket package, which
includes two all-wool blankets, suit
able for conversion into clothing or
for use as bedding; needles, thread,
buttons, safety pins, scissors and
thimbles. Designs for clothing are
available. Two pairs of composition
soles and heels for repairing shoes
are included in the packages.

 Rem had sought Senate approval of resolution calling for special investigation of Attorney General Claik's handling ot the charges of vote buying and other irregularities which arose as a result of last years Democratic purge" primary in the Fifth Missouri district.
 | In that race, President Truman supported Enos A. Axtell, who won over incumbent Rep. Robert c Slaughter.
