PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-The
president of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union today
urged charity blood banks to stop
accepting obviously unfit" blood
from donors seeking money to buy
liquor.
Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin told the
18th annual WCTU convention
that the practice of selling blood
for drinking funds has become
prevalent among vagrants who
term it "peddling the red"
Referring to an article by Will
liam J. Slocum in Golfers Maga-
zine, the WCTU head said the
blood bank practices discussed
were investigated by the temper
ance organization early this year
in Chicago.
What our investigators knew
to be true" Mrs. Colvin said, was
met with general denials by clin-
les and doctors.
Says Pay Is Little.
Nevertheless, most clinics using
it certainly know where the blood
comes from. and banks take ad-
vantage of the donors by paying
them as little as So a pint, some
times up to So, while the price of
most leading hospitals for good
blood is $25 to $50.
"Steps by health authorities are
certainly indicated if the banks
and clinics do not stop the prac-
tice."
H. Cecil Heath of London, gen.
eral secretary of the United King
dom temperance Alliance, told
the convention last night that
drinking brought on a host OF
disasters and near-disasters to
the Allied armies" in World War II
