in families of registrants and var
ious other unavoidable conflicts
on its visit to First Presbyterian
Church, Monday, cutting down to
rs the 112 who had registered to
donate blood. Of this number 64
pints were received.
Maurice Beathard, chairman of
the Blood committee for Mad
ison County Chapter Red Cross
and Mrs. John w. Stroupe, re-
cruitment chairman for London
Business and Professional Wom-
ems Club, stated that there were
several factors which contributed
to what they considered a success
full visit of the unit and for which
they publicly expressed apprecia-
ton.
One OF the most important of
these was that eighteen of those
who donated blood stated that
they were there to replace blood
that some member of their fam
lily, in need of TRANSMISSION when
hospitalized, had received free
through the Red Cross Blood
Bank. The feeling of responsible
ity to replace the blood, which is
badly needed, is acknowledged
with gratitude, the Chapter chair
man stated.
OF the rs who registered Mon
day, eight were watkins, who
due to publicity, came without ap-
pointments. There were also
number of registrants who were
rejected because of colds and
other slight indispositions, who
can be taken at some future visit
of the Unit.
Because of the especially fine
effort of recruitment helpers from
South Solon and Sedalia COM
munities, Mr. Beathard stated that
the County Chapter is contempla-
ting having the Mobile Unit pay
visit to that section possibly in
September.
Those in charge of the Monday
visit of the bank, stated that the
success was largely due to work
ers in Somerford and Union
townships and Newport in help
ing with the recruiting. Also the
volunteers in clerical and nursing
sections, the Canteen and women
of the church who assisted with
preparing the lunch.

Reds Angry
Over Lack
OF Tanks
BY olen Clements

TOKYO, MAY S-Rl- Allied
troops today pushed cautiously
north at both ends OF the 100 mile
Korean front for the second suc-
cessive day.
Patrols hunted in the vacuum
between these points for vanish
ing Red troops. Far north of the
theoretical battle line, pilots re-
ported new communist bulid-up in
Red Korea.
TOKYO, MAY SIP United
Nations attacks rolled up limited
gains today along the. western
and eastern Korean battlefronts.
Communist troops. withdrawing
now in most sectors, were report
ed angry because they didn't get
Russian tanks and planes for
their spring offensive.
Limited attacks by South Kor-
can forces gained three miles
northeast of Seoul Monday on the
western anchor. In the east, south
Koreans pushed a mile and a
half forward driving toward Inje
north of parallel &c.
Reports of Red discomfort came
from Allied officers on the west
ern front. AP correspondent John
Randolph said some U.N. Of
ficers believe there is hard feeling
among Chinese and north Korean
troops because they didn't get
tanks and planes from the Soviet
union to support their recent ill
fated offensive.
The infantry carried the full
burden of that attack, launched
April %. More than 10000 Reds
have been killed or wounded. by
U.N. estimates. Monday 2,940
were reported killed or wounded.
Randolph quoted Allied officers
that Red offensive preparations
indicated they had expected both
armored support and air cover.
Roads were widened. Air fields
were put into condition, But the
support didn't develop and the
Red infantry was unable to ex-
ploit gains.
Bad weather Monday failed to
halt the day-by-day destruction
of the enemy's war potential the
Far Eastern Air Forces reported.
More than 900 sorties (single
flights) were flown. Many strikes
blasted highways on which 1900
trucks were spotted. OF these, 315
were claimed knocked out.
On the extreme west, republic
of Korea (ROK) infantrymen
push forward for gains of about
three miles.
Their objective was to clean out
or drive back nearly two divisions
of a battered north Korean army
corps. These Reds were threaten
ing to cross the Han River for
possible flank attacks on Seoul.
Other small groups of Reds were
across the Han in this area
The South Korean push Monday
carried IL miles northwest OF
Seoul.
About the same distance due
north of Seoul. Allied tank patrols
struck at seven enemy pockets IN
the mountains north of Uijongbu.
U.N. forces have regained about
half the ground lost in the Red
offensive.
