Area Red Cross Drive
Gifts Rise Suddenly
With Week 10 Go

With less than a week to go, the
slow District area Red Cross fund
campaign took a sudden jump
yesterday to 87.47 per cent OF
its $1.3 million quota.
Officials were more hopeful to-
day that the Metropolitan Area
would be able to collect the $685.
900 needed to reach its goal. So
far, Everett j., Boothby. general
campaign chairman, said, $1,137,-
095 has been turned in.
AS you can see, !" he told a re-
port luncheon yesterday, we're
now within gunshot of our goal
but there's no magic in this mat
ter of attaining complete success
1t takes hard work"
Last year, Mr.. Boothby said, The
drive had reached 103 per cent
at this point. This year the cam
paign, originally scheduled to end
March 81, had to be exeneded to
next Friday.
Replies to Charges.
Replying to charges sometimes
made against the American Ma
tional Red Cross. James T. Mich
olson, executive vice president
of the national organization, told
United States Chamber of Com
merce that the average salary
paid Red Cross staff workers is
$2,500.
With 1,650,000 volunteer work
ers throughout the country and
with the armed services all over
the world, Mr.. Nicholson said
there are only $4,000 paid workers
and, he continued. "We owe them
a great debt of gratitude-and
even some apologies.
Praising the several thousand
Red Cross volunteers in the Far
East, Mr.. Nicholson said many
of them were wives of servicemen
VIII are Ill hUTGd.
Reminder to Critics.
Many have criticised the Red
Cross, Mr.. Nicholson said, for this
years campaign slogan, Mobilize
for Defense" But" he said, "as
II get around I can't help but re-
mind them our job can be summed
up in three words - alienation
and prevention"
Leading the reporting units yes
terday was Fairfax County with
104.49 percent of its $26.500 goal
collected. But other divisions
showed improvement, too, includ-
ing the City Division with 1852
lper cent of a $4,000 goal pledged
the Residential Division with 98.2O
Iper cent of its 100000 goal, and
Arlington County with 96.67 per
cent of its $32.225 quota in.
Still behind all other divisions
was Montgomery County which
reported 69.84 per cent Of its
I$48,855 goal collected.
The final report meeting of the
District areas drive will be held
lat 1890 pm. Friday at the Cham

Uncle Ruy's Corner

A different type of airplane is
taking a place in aviation. 1t has
a long history, but is rarely seen by
the public even to this day.
I am speaking about the hell
copter. AS We know it today, it's
wings are propellers, and it's pro-
pellers are wings.
The idea of the helicopter is
hundred of years old. Records show
that the Chinese had helicopter
toys seven centuries ago, and almost
500 years have passed since Leonardo
Davinci drew up a plan for a
|helicopter flying machine.
1t is only during this century,
however, that practical machines
which will carry people have been
built. Early in the century French
man named Louis Breguet proved
that he could lift himself a little
above ground with a helicopter, but
did not go on with his work and
produce real flying machine"
A Spaniard, Juan de la Cierva
tackled the problem 80 years ago
His early machines failed to leave
the ground, but he kept on trying
to improve his work, and in less
than four years produced a success
lf1Il f1uinu m ocEioa IN N Yo~,,or,,
day, a pilot took this machine aloft
and made a trip of 200 yards. The
machine was tested again before
crowds. and one of it's flights was
I2h miles long; this fight took 31a
minutes to complete, and was made
at an average height of 100 feet
The Cierva invention was called
an "autogiro." 1t differed from the
present day helicopter in a few
ways, but had large, revolving
blades above the cockpit, instead OF
wings. At the front was a pro-
Ipeller which was turned by an
engine.
The autogiro was flown with
success across the English Channel
by CierVa. That was September
1928. The fight was made 10 years
after Bleriot startled the world by
flying across the same body of
water in a monoplane.
Juan de la Cierva died in an
Iairplane accident is years ago, but
he was a passenger on an ordinary
type of transport plane when the
accident took place.

 Republicans voting against the housewife were Capehart of Indi- ana, Bricker of Ohio, Schoeppel of Kansas, Dirksen of Illinois and Ives of New York.

 The original Senators voting for the housewife were:

 During the early committee de- bates. Robertson of Virginia was one of the stanchest champions of \ the housewifes He not only presided over the Banking committee for i one day in Maybank's absence, but held the proxy of Arkansas Full bright, during which time he argued that the country needed some kind of price control.
 I Later Robertson suddenly rever- sed himself and it was reported that his Virginia colleague, Harry Byrd, had been proselytizing him. If Robertson had not switched his vote. the housewives would have won.
 To offset his switch, Congressman Franklin Roosevelt, Jr., at the sug- gestion of the White House, tele- phoned Senator Frear and urged him to vote with the consumers. Young Roosevelt's impassioned plea made an impression on the Dela- ware farmer senator = though not quite enough.
 On the final showdown vote on rollbacks. Frear passed. Apparent !, ly he wanted to go part way to please Roosevelt. So he just didn't vote. This left the vote a tie, 6 to 6, and Frear was called upon to cast the deciding vote.
 At first the Delaware Democrat seemed a little unsure what he should do First he asked what an aye" vote would mean. Then he asked what mo" vote would mean. Then he asked how he had previ- ously voted. When told he had vo- ted against price rollbacks, he cast his vote the same way again.
 This lost the battle for the house. wives.
 Note-most ironic thing about the almost solid Republican vote against rollbacks was that last summer they applauded loudest when Bernard Baruch urged price controls. Bar uchs speech came before the Pres ident was ready to ask for price controls, and knowing that the two men didn't like lnch other, the GOP'ers whooped and hollered for the same measures they voted against last week.
