Red Cross Chapters
Protest $4,000, 600
Fund Goal for 1913

Several American Red Gross chap
tiers today protested that the Red
Gross had set too high a figure in
announcing a 1948 campaign goal OF
SIS. .0O0, 600.
Basil OConnor, Red Cross presi-
dent, who announced the goal, said
it was approximately $4,000, 600 less
than the total subscribed In the 1947
fund-raising campaign.
However, two Red Cross chapters,
those in Birmingham, Ala, and Ell
Paso, Tex, have told national head
quarters they are unwilling to accept
their quotas OF the Nation wide
goal. Red Cross officials here said
they hoped the chapters would re-
verse their stand before the drive
begins March !.
Goal Is Less Than Budget. :.
Several other chapters suggested
a goal OF around 100000, 600, but
the National Board of Governors
approved the higher figure. The
goal actually is $22, ,OO0, 900 less than
the budget for the year, but the
difference will be made up from
uncommitted surplus funds on hand,
according to Mr.. O'Connor.
One new activity this year, Mr..
O'Connor said, Is the national blood
program costing an estimated $10,-
000, 900, much of it for equipment,
continued research and professional
stats. Other services will be con-
tinued and the disaster relief fund,
depleted because of the many ca
tastrophes this year, needs to be
replenished.
The Washington Metropolitan
Area Chapter, composed of six Red
Cross units, has not yet received
its quota for the drive, but a
spokesman said it had entered no
protest over the national goal. The
District area quota last year was
$787 500, but this years figures un-
doubtedly will be higher, it was
said, chiefly because Of operation
of blood banks.
FL Paso Rejects Quota.
At Ell Paso, E. M. Kelley, chair
man of the Board of Directors
of the FL Paso American Red Cross
Chapter, said he was. fatty rejecting
a $685. 900 quota requested by the ma
tional organization.
Mr.. Kelley said his chapter would
drive for $4,000 in l948, of which
$23 900 will be sent to national head
quarters here, with $4,000 ear
marked for chapter use Last years
quota was $99, 900, with $4,000 for
the national group.
The war is over" Mr.. Kelley said
"If we can cut down 20 per cent
locally the national body should be
able to reduce 10 per cent of its
overhead"

Montana Protests Overland Mail Route To Alaska
Continued from Page OneJ

Continued from Page OneJ in Great Falls yesterday charged that the Seattle route means that 85 per cent of Alaska-bound mail from the States must travel more than 1000 miles out of its way,
 Flaherty said postmaster gener- al Jesse Donaldson has been in vited to attend a meeting in Great Falls to discuss the mail-hauling contract.
 The Montana official added:
 If this situation cannot be cor rected, it is ample justification for Montana to ask that it be trans ferred out of the supervision of the Seattle postal district and be placed in the inter-mountain dis trict with Denver"
 The post office department in Washington, D. C., however, said that Seattle was picked because 75 per cent of Alaskan mail origin ateS on the western coast. The de- partment has facilities in Seattle that are lacking in Great Falls, it was explained.
 Aiken said the Alaska Freight Lines, q Fairbanks concern, now is hauling return mail from Alaska at -i2 c>n.S a pound and the trucks can operate for all except six weeks in the year. The con-

It was all part of the things we had to do the day we were inducted.'
 There was a little of the old hurry-upand-Wait. The group was told to be on hand at pm. The party got underway 35 minutes later.
 A sergeant lined them up and paired them off with their dates. USO and YWCA hostesses in for nal gowns. Sixty-one men were slated for induction but six were turned down at the last moment. Nobody remembered to tell the girls so there were six spares.
