to DR.. H. A. Grennan.
Mr.. Kavanagh, designated q
member emeritus Of the commit

the group.
It is the Citizens Committee
that sets up the policies under
which the Home Service stan
operates. It decides, with the
help Of information from the
staff, what budget is needed,
how much staff is required and
what Office facilities must be
maintained.
Besides that, Home Service
calls on the individual members
for help in various fields. The
members also act as interpreters
between the Red Cross and other
community agencies.
Others on the committee are

Right now, Home Service ex-

to increase.
The department has a sensitive

Those seeking it's help now are
younger than in the past. What

could mean almost any thing.
What 1t does mean is some
thing that touches. either di-
rectly or indirectly, on the life OF
every one In Washington.
The Home Service of the Dis
trict Red Cross is a tangible help
ing hand to the grief-stricken
father who wants to bring his
soldier son home to attend his
mothers funeral.
Or to the young wife who has
not heard from her husband in
Korea for two months.
Or the hard-presSed mother
who needs help in figuring out
how to keep her family going on
an allotment.
To their neighbors up and
down the street, it is an insur-
ance they maintain, through
their support Of the Red Cross,
on the welfare of servicemen and
their families.
It Is plug in the dixie against
the development of serious break
downs from problems that can
be solved with a little know how
and wherewithal.
Serves in Many Crises.
Home Service Is a connecting
link between the serviceman and
his family. It gives information,
offers expert advice, is a COM
munication line and provides f.
nancial help to servicemen and
veterans and their families.
Since the Korean outbreak,
statistics indicate that two of
every three young men entering
the armed forces from the Dis
trict have called on the local
Red Cross Chapter for help in
one problem or another.
During 1852, District Home
Service spent $1S6, 100. including
$81 800 in direct financial assist
ance to 5000 persons. But coun-
selling and other special helps
went to 1890 servicemen, vet
Grams, their families and their
survivors.
The Red Cross estimates this
meant a total Of about $500
persons.
Guiding the policies of this
versatile organization is a small
committee Of District citizens
prominent in the professions,
business, civic life and religion.

U. 5. Net Hopes Low
After Aussies Defeat
Trabert and Seixas
By the Associoted Press

SYDNEY, Australia. Nov. 49,
Americas hopes of regaining the
Davis Cup dipped today with the
defeat of both Tony Trabert and
Vic Seixas in the semifinals of
the New South Wales tennis
championships.
In what was looked on as a
preview of Davis Cup strength,
the Americans went down before
two 19-year-old Australians,
Lewis Hoad and Ken Rosewall.
A crowd of 10000 saw the
husky Hoad whip Trabert, the
United States champion from
Cincinnati, 6+1, 60, 81, Is.
Seixas, the Wimbledon champion
from Philadelphia, tumbled in
straight sets before the agile
RoSewall, ga, 60, 6-3.
One Of Best of Career.
Hoad played one of the best
games of his career in beating
Trabert. In the first two sets
Hoad made 20 clean passing
shots and. in addition. four times
hit winners off Tony's serves
while his own service broke
through to take a 400 lead, a
comfortable cushion of three
match points. Tony saved one,
but that was all.
! SeixaS took an early lead in
each set against Rosewall, espe-
cially in the first and third sets
when Vic led 81, but on each
occasion Rosewall came from be-
hind. He won four straight
games in both the first and sec
ond sets. In the third set he
wiped out Vic's 81 lead by
winning five straight games for
the set and match.
Held Only Five Services.
SeixaS never got his service
working as he did at Wimbledon
and was able to hold only five Of
his IS services. He broke Rose
wall four times.
Seixas encountered some tough
luck in the eighth game of the
third set. He was behind 4-3 in
games, but he was serving and
it was his advantage.
He doomed over one of his
best services. Rosewall put his
racket down seemingly only to
protect himself. The ball came
over the net and hit the base
line to make it deuce.
1t was a vital break on which
Rosewall Immediately capital
lied. He went on to win the
game and the next for the
match.

The most excited group ap-
peared to be the feminine sec
ton of Anacostia's roofing bri-
gade. AS soon as the officials
Signaled the end Of the game,
a screeching horde descended on
the field sweeping reporters,
photographers and other by
ISLANDERS aside. A psychologist
probably would say it was due
to desires too long suppressed.
Too long? 1t was AnacoStia's
second division title in II years.
The calmeSt person was Dick

Mentzer said. Stewart said the

The most relieved person was
Hardy Pearce, director Of ath-

Pearce who thought up the two
32-minute playoff games to un-
ravel the tie for the division title.
Pearce, a big, amiable Texan
who played tackle at Hardin

tentedly .on a cigar when some

reaction was to his unorthodox

from Western alumni. Now they

Hardy paused to take a couple

tinued. "You know, regardless
of what I had done, there
would've been complaints from

Pearce has a tough hide. It is
one of the requirements for the
job, which is tougher than most
people realize. Pearce'S main

Refusal to Take Czorist Oath
Led Kruger to u. S. Career

Otto Kruger, American World
War I veteran and new Repub-
lican House member from North
Dakota, has had a colorful
career since his birth in South
west Russia, his refusal to swear
allegiance to the Gear. and his
immigration to the United States.
The son of q German miller.
Mr.. Kruger was born September
Z. 1890. in the Bolinia district
of Russia. His parents had gone
to Russia to instruct local resi-
dents in industrial and farming
techniques.
He ranked at the head Of a
list Of 500 students in tests for
officer candidates in the Russian
Army. Shipped down the Volga
a thousand miles from home,
he was turned out of a Junker-
operated school because he re-.
fused to take the oath of ALE

Most newspaper workers joined

which called for them to lay off
tomorrow instead of today. The
Herald Tribune was exempted

No Evidence of Break.
There was no evidence Of a
