LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Sept.
PA United Nations Committee

of putting the race of the donors

as now being practiced by the

The United Nations committee
in turning down all arguments of
the American Red Cross in sup
port of its policy cited the long
undisputed medical and scientific
proof that there is absolutely no
difference in human blood.
The controversy between the
United Nations Committee and the
American Red Cross over it's poll
cy of putting the race of donors
of its blood, an obviously discrimi-
natory practice recalled the fact
that the creator of the blood bank
was a Negro Doctor, the late DR..
Charles H. Drew of Howard Uni
versity, Washington, d. C. who met
his death few weeks ago in an
automobile accident.
A leading authority on Blood
plasma at the beginning of the

made possible when DR.. Drew dis
covered the means of storing and
preserving live blood FOR an un-
limited period while working in
