i He. called. the administration s
nti-infiation bill "a feeble, too little
too late, complacent approach to an
urgent problem" and added in his
statement:
THE Republicans, with few ex-
ceptions, continue their support OF
the position taken by big business
through the National Association OF
' Manufacturers and the Chamber OF
Commerce, and oppose price con-
trolls generally"
Mr.. Nixon said 'the American
people pay $15o,oO0 a day for their
Congress-at that price we should
be getting better service on this
problem which runs so deeply in
terms of the welfare of the common
people of the country"
Workers in the, electrical indus

Nixon said. .
Before todays committee session

has been unable so far to decide
whether he should vote for or
against the bill. He said he hopes
to wind up the hearings by the END

Recommendation was to determine
what the Government has done to
relieve present oil shortages.
This committee is of the opinion
that something must be done i'm
mediately," he added.
To Mr.. Fosters argument there is
a moral responsibility to other
countries. Mr.. Wolverton replied:
Il realize that there may be obli-
cations but we can't always be as
charitable as we would like to be.
There are limitations. We must

Statistics On Exports.
Mr.. Foster presented statistics on
petroleum exports which showed
that during the fourth quarter of
1947 the department permitted ex-'
ports Of 12,200,0 barrels. He said
this was slightly more than half OF
what foreign government said were
their minimum essential needs.
He said that for the first quarter
Of 1948 the export quota is 1850, 900
barrels, which compares with IT,
000, 900 barrels exported in the f1rst
quarter of 1947.
Mr.. Foster said the shortage of
heating oils in the East was ag-
gravated for a time by exports to
Canada, on which there are no con-
trols. But he said the petroleum
industry of Canada agreed, effective
last January /, to reduce imports
of heating oil from the United
States to so per cent or less Of the
monthly average Of imports during
the first quarter of 1947. He said
that this voluntary limitation will
be extended through next April 80.

GaIIinger Ends Supply
OF Red Cross Blood 10
Spur Use Of Own Bank

Gallinger Hospital officials said
today they have shut of a free
supply of blood from the Red Cross
"in order to force our doctors to
rely on our own blood bank"
DR.. P. S. Rossiter, Gallinger chief
of staff, forbade use Of Red Cross
blood in an order Issued q week ago
1t was learned.
The order came after Red Cross
officials refused to tell the hospital
the race of persons who contributed
blood to the Red Cross bank. Gall
niger officials declared, however,
that the refusal had nothing to do
with the Rossiter order.
Race Held No Factor.
A Red Cross spokesman explained
that policy allows the organiza-
ton to give race origin information
to private physicians who request
it, but that the information is with
held on blood supplied to Govern
ment hospitals.
DR.. Jacob Weirstein, chief of the
Gallinger blood bank, declared the
race origin question was not a
factor" in the order forbidding use
of Red Cross blood The reason, he
said, is that internes and doctors
at Gallinger have been drawing too
heavily on Red Cross sources when
adequate free blood is available at
the hospital.
DR.. Alvin r. Sweeny, Gallinger
superintendent, declared he has mot
seen" the Rossiter order, but that
he knew the hospital had decided
mot to use Red Cross blood except
in case of an emergency here at the
hospital"
Wants to Expand.
Gallinger wants to expand Its
own blood supply, he asserted, so
we can force our doctors to rely
on our own blood bank in case
other sources might not be available
later"
A situation could rise, for ex-
ample, DR.. Sweeney pointed out,
when all Red Cross blood might
have to be diverted to the armed
forces. The superintendent said he
wanted to praise "the excellent job
the Red Cross has done" but added
that I'VE want to be able to stand
on our own feet"
