Archbishop Keough
Asks Clothing Drives
For World Refugees

An appeal was made today to
American Catholic Bishops to
help refugees in the Far East
and Europe by holding clothing
drive in their dioceses during

The appeal was made by the

tional Catholic Welfare Confer
Ience.
Archbishop Keough declared
that "the tragic situation of tens
of thousands of persons who es-
capped from the East Zone of
Germany and reached Berlin
within the past month has in
tensified the situation of refu-
gees in that city. To meet this
emergency, War Relief Services
National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference, shipped so tons of warm
clothing and shoes-the last of
these supplies in it's warehouses. u
He pointed out that another
winter faces the homeless and
the uprooted. and said priests
overseas are begging for clothing
for these many millions of ex-
pellees and refugees in Europe
and the Far East"
Last year the emergency cloth
ing collection resulted in a total
contribution of more than 1885,
900 pounds of usable garments
and shoes, valued at more than
$40 million.
The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Edward E.
Swanstrom, executive director of
War Relief Services-NCWC, in
a press conference following is
suance of the appeal said "the
situation in Korea is particularly
critical. With winter coming on,
thousands will, die unless they
are provided with needed cloth
ing and shelter"
Msgr. SWanstrom also pointed
out the great needs in China, the
Near East and in Southern Italy.
