Red Cross Fund Drive
Held in More Trouble
Than Ever Before

The District area Red Gross
fund drive is in more trouble than
it has ever been in before, Ran
dolph G. Bishop, campaign di-
rector, said yesterday.
And I can't find any one who
will believe it," he continued.
This years campaign has
reached only IS per cent of its
S1.3 million goal. That means
only S849,223 has been reported
to date.
It's so bad that campaign Of
f1cials had to extend the drive
from Saturdays closing date to
April 13. The best percentage
comes from Arlington County,
with 81 per cent of its 1000
quota collected.
Only 32ee in Montgomery.
BY far the worst is Montgom-
cry County, with only 80 per cent
of its $48,855 goal in. Mrs. Mar
garet Flewhart, executive secre-
tary of the county chapter, says
she doesn't expect the county to
report more than AZ per cent COL
lected at tomorroW's report meet
ing.
Mr.. Bishop looks at it from a
broad viewpoint.
THE peoples support of the
Red Cross is an accurate baro-
meter of the morale of the people. ;"
he said. with the present state
of the drive it would be well for
all of us to take stock of our
selves"
Mr. Bishop said the campaigns
organization is as fine as it has
ever been. But he said people
have not yet realized that the war
in Korea, the civil defense train
ing program and the Red Cross
blood program mean the Red Cross
must expand to fulfill its obliga-
ton to the armed forces and to
the people at home.
In a talk last night to Govern
ment Red Cross campaign workers,
Everett J. Boothby, chairman of
the drive, said people seem to
think of the Korean war as being
far away.
Because we are going along
in our civilian life as usual" he
said. many of us assume the
position that, after all why need
we give any more to the Red Cross
this year"
Surprised at Quota Here.
Metropolitan Washington must
raise S260.000 more this year.
Il for one was surprised" said
Mr.. Boothby. when Red Cross an
nounced it would need funds only
25 per cent over last year. Had
it been so per cent, many of us
would not have been inclined to
argue"
Mr.. Bishop said a number of
campaigns have been in conflict
with the Red Cross drive.
Many people" he said. "have
been distracted by crime hearings
and investigations broadcast over
the radio and television. But. he
continued, people must be aroused
to what the situation really is.
Il feel" Mr.. Boothby said. that
II We let complacency interfere
with attaining the goal OF s1.3
million for the Red Cross. a very
bad mistake is being made and
that we are giving the kids in

on bad timing.
John Wesley Hayes Mason, 46,
colored, chose to climb through
ground floor rear window of the
Columbia Hotel, 1121 street
NV, just as Pvt. Peter j. Burgin
of the first precinct was strolling
past at 4 am. today.
Pvt. Burgih looked in the win
dow long enough to see the in
truder rif1ing suitcases inside, then
got Henry Carroll, hotel manager
to rattle the door of the room.
The rattling sent Mason out
the window and the sight of Pvt
Burgin's revolver sent him right
back in. The officer followed and
made the arrest.
Mason, who lives in the 1900
block of Seventh street NV, was
charged with housebreaking.
And, police added, Lonny
Chambers, who rented the hote
room yesterday when he checked

Discovery of drug addicts
among high school pupils seems
confined to Eastern High School,
a survey of other school principals
indicated today.
If it is more widespread, the
addicts have not been discovered.
Principals questioned about drug
addiction in the schools were
cautious not to make fat state
ment that there are no addicts In
the schools.
But those contacted we're unan-
imous in their statements that
they have been unable to detect
narcotics users among their pupils.
John Paul Collins. principal of
Eastern High School, had stated
that several addicts had been
found among his pupils and that
they had been turned over to the
proper authorities. His revelation
followed the arrest of a 17-year-
old Eastern junior. The youth
admitted drug addiction.
Some other principals pointed
out it is difficult to detect drug
addiction and that, therefore, it
would be impossible to say fatty
there was none in their schools.
Their comments were:
Nathaniel A. Danowsky, Western
High School-Last fall we had a
little furry of rumors about dope.
i called in the boys and girls I
consider the leaders among the
pupils here and asked them if they
had heard of anything definite
going on. They said they hadn't.
I feel they would have told me if
they knew anything. I wouldn't t
want to say we have no drug users
in the school, but none has cone
to my attention.
Mrs. Elva C. Wells, Roosevelt
High School-We haven't found
any so far. We did have contact
with the Narcotics Squad. Some
of the men came out and talked
with us about it and gave us in
formation on how to recognize the
symptoms. One thing that helps
us here is that we have very strict
rules about leaving the school
grounds during school hours.
