tie over two years ago, President
Truman laid the cornerstone
just about a year later, and
today the new headquarters is
almost ready to start humming.
Private Generosity Helps.
AS in the case of its predeces-
sor. public and private generos-
ity combined to make the new
building possible. The land, like
that for the old building, was
donated by Congress. A public
fund camnaign-part of the
regular Red Cross drive of 1947
raised about $385,00 of the
construction cost. Bequests and
other special gifts provided addi-
tional funds. And the national
Red Cross paid about $1.2 mil
lion for the present chapter
house. Total cost of the new
building, including furnishings.
was a little over So million.
Compared to the old one, the
building is big. It has about
10000 square feet of floor space.
while the old building has only
II 900. It is air-conditioned and
far more efficiently designed.
The present layout has long been
a makeshift. Red Cross officials
expect it to be a model for chap
tiers elsewhere.
At the same time they feel the
50 million investment is far from
extravagant. A better head
quarters. they say, was essential.
And they are certain increased
Red Cross service to the COM
munity will quickly give the
proof.
Built on Simple Lines.
The center remains conven-
iently within reach Of National
Red Cross headquarters, a three
block walk away. But, accord
ing to Manager Nat c. Wilson,
Washington's Red Cross workers
no longer are working in the ma
tionals' back yard. They now
have a yard--and much more
of their own.
The building, of Indiana lime
stone, has simple lines. Bronze
frames around its large. modern
windows are the sole decorative
feature on the exterior. The only
marble is in the modest-size lob
by and a stairway rising to the
second floor.
There are four working floors
Half Of the first is for the blood
center. already operating there
The other half will house part o1
the home service center. In one
big room, eight partitioned in
terviewing booths already are
set up for relatives Of servicemen
seeking help. In another room
teletypes will be set UP. connect

A 178 seat auditorium is or

and grey ladies'. The motor corps
dispatch Office also will be there.
Also on this floor are a spacious
garment-cutting room with 16
new electric sewing machines,
another for making surgical
dressings. and six classrooms for
volunteer training.
The classrooms are in groups
of three. Each three can be
combined by lifting sliding par
titionS.
Officers for the Junior Red
Cross, nursing safety and nutri-
ton services are on the fourth
floor. And a cafeteria seating
80 will occupy one end.
Varied Color Schemes.
Varied color schemes have
been used, along with indirect
lighting, and many ceilings have
acoustic tile to minimize noise.
Outside, there is parking space
for 78 cars.
Architects were Eggers and
Higgins of New York. who de-
signed the National Gallery of
Art. The builder was the George
Hyman Construction Co., of
Washington. The Public Build
ings Service supervised construc-
ton.
For the chapters 161 paid en-
ployes and many more volun-
teers-25.000 of the latter last
year. according to Mr.. Wilson
the contrast with the old quarters
will be marked. The old build
ing, designed for a staff of a
dozen. consists mostly of large
auditorium which long ago
ceased to fulfill that function
and was subdivided into tiny,
noisy Offices with partitions.
Old Center Cramped.
The old blood center also was
seriously cramped. Now its white
gowned technicians work in a
spacious, shiny laboratory and
donors walk into far more invit-
ing rooms. The old center was
able to accommodate UP to about
100 a day. With the new facilities
that number can be increased
easily to $50, Mr.. Wilson said
Over $1,000 donors came to the
former center last year.
Shipping facilities for blood
destined for Korea and area hos
pitals also are much improved
The same improved facilities
serve the two bloodmobiles that
bring bottles of the precious
fluid in daily from a wide area
around the Capital.
With the move. a number OF
Red Cross workers will be va
eating borrowed space. The
Home Service Department for 10
years has been receiving appli-
cants for help in back galleries
Of the Corcoran Gallery OF Art
Other workers will vacate the
old Corcoran Elementary School
at 1915 Twenty-eighth street
NV. The campaign staff moved
out of the old Washington Post
building.
Pang Of Regret for Some.
For some of the older workers
of course, the change Of head
quarters is bound to bring q
pang of regret. The dignified
white marble building at 1880 E
street has a special place in the
hearts of many of them. Presi-
dent Coolidge laid its corner
stone. President Hoover and
Gen. John j. Pershing helped
dedicate it. And the money to
build it was raised by Miss Mabel
T. Boardman and other devoted
leaders as q tribute to the sacri-
fices of Americas women il

Plan Sought C
Local Govt Relief

WASHINGTON R-The Realtors
Washington Committee said that
it was trying to ceyeiop a finan-
cial relief plan for local govern
ments whose communities contain
tax-exempt federal property.
Henry G. Waltemade, committee
chairman, said the federal exemp-
ton from local taxes amounted to
a subsidy by the local community,
which had to provide police and
fire protection, sewerage facilities
and other services without COM
pensation.
Waltemade said his committee,
the legislative arm of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
would make a thorough study of
the problem.

Alexandra Court
Clears Canary in
Delinquency Case

Ralph H. Canary, the former
manager of an Alexandria roller
skating rink. was acquitted in
Alexandria Juvenile Court yes
terday of a charge of contributing
to the delinquency Of a minor.
The charge against Canary. 80,
of the 900 block of North Wayne
street, Arlington, was dismissed
by Juvenile Court Judge Marion
B. West for insufficient evidence.
Last month, a similar charge
against the defendant was dis
missed under the statute of
limitations.
Canary has appealed his con-
viction on charge of possessing
obscene literature, for which he
was sentenced to six months in
jail after a hearing in Alexandria
Police Court.
Canary also is scheduled to
appear in Arlington Juvenile
Court today on a charge of con-
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor.
