TN this turbulent age, It is

and in resources to meet any call
put upon it by the course of
world events or by the hazards
of nature" Mr.. Allyn said.
National Chairman E. Roland
Hartman stressed that "it is
a great fallacy to think that the
Red Cross functions only in time
of war, great disaster or other
national emergency.
The major Red Cross service,
for which s36.640.0 900 is budgeted
in the coming fiscal year, is the
program of aid to servicemen.
veterans and their families. The
Red Cross blood program. for
which $14,287.000 is earmarked.
is second in budgetary rank.
Other services include the dis
aSter preparedness and relief
program; health. nursing and
safety services; the Junior Red
Cross; international assistance
programs, and the administra-
ton of numerous volunteer pro-
grams.
Last year, Mr.. Hartman
pointed out. an average of 143.-
600 servicemen or their families
each month received Red Cross
help. The organization also pro-
cured 2,896,000 blood donations

7.100 families suffering loss in
fires or natural disasters.
During the fiscal year. volun-
teers gave II million hours of
service at military installations,
Veterans Administration and ci-
william hospitals and in other
community agencies, and the
Red Cross awarded some 2 mil
lion certificates in first aid,
water safety and home nursing.
Food, clothing and other sup
plies totaling $1.004,000 in value
went through the Red Cross to

'DuIIesVisits Burma,
Denies Intent 10 Woo
Country or Be Wooed
By the Assoeia,ed Press

RANGOON. Burma, Feb. 26.-
United States Secretary of State
Dulles conferred here today with
Burmese President Ba U and
Prime Minister U M.
Suspected by many Burmese
of coming here to try to win the
prime minister over to the side
of the West in the cold war, Mr..
Dulles said:
Il did not come here to WOO
or be wooed."
He talked with the Burmese
leaders soon after his arrival
by air from Bangkok. where the
first conference of the Manila
Pact powers wound up yesterday.
Police Guard Streets.
The Burma Workers and Pea
SAINTS Party, a crypto-Communist
organization. had threatened to
stage demonstration. None
materialized. Police guarded
streets over which Mr.. Dulles
rode.
The secretary was not given
as big a reception as that &C
corded Red China's Premier Chou
En-lai on his visit to Rangoon
en- route home from the Geneva
conference last year.
There were some shouts from
street crowds of don't try to
get us into SEATO (the Manila
defense setup)." They were
scattered and probably inaudible
to Mr.. Dulles.
He told newsmen his mission
was a simple one. Inasmuch as
he had been in nearby Bangkok.
he said, he did not want to miss
an opportunity of seeing some
of your leaders for whom we
have great respect"
Mr.. Dulles said he did not dis
cuss the Manila Pact conference
with U MI except to report on
the accomplishments of the
Bangkok meeting.
A Burmese newspaperman
asked the secretary at a news
conference held in the American
Embassy whether. in the event
of war in Asia, the United States
would drop the atom bomb.
Mr.. Dulles replied that the
question of use of the atom bomb
for mass destruction is some
thing of very dubious strategic
value. He said he hoped it would
not be necessary to bomb popu-
lation centers.
The secretary said the United
States had concern for Asia just
as for South America and Eu-
rope. He likened present day
aggression threats by Commu-
nism against Asia to the Euro
pean Holy Alliance threat to
South America which resulted in
the Monroe Doctrine.
Would Fight Aggression.
He said in the event of open
armed aggression in Southwest
Asia, the United States certainly
would bring to bear naval and
air power to aid the victim of ag-
gression.
He told newsmen he had a
good talk with U Nu and that
both of them probably were the
wiser for having talked. He said
President Eisenhower would be
happy if it could be arranged for
U Nu to visit the United States.
The Secretary did not mention
whether he talked with the
Prime Minister about the i'm
prisoned United States flyers in
Red China. On his visit to Pei
ping last year, U Nu persuaded
Chou En-lai to notify him i'm
mediately if there was any
change in their status.
Mr.. Dulles will fly to Laos to-
morrow and to Cambodia and
South Wet Nam on Monday.

Dulles 10 Be Asked
To Define U. 5. Stand
On Matsu, Quemoy
BY the Anoeioted Press

Representative Zablocki. DEM
ocrat. of Wisconsin. said yester-
day the House Foreign Affairs
Committee will call on Secretary
CT State Dulles for a definite
statement of our policy regarding
Matsu and Quemoy islands"
Mr.. Zablocki, chairman of the
groups Far Eastern Affairs sub
committee. said the committee
plans to summon Mr.. Dulles for
a full closed-door report on last
weeks Bangkok conference on
the Southeast Asia treaty. He
said the hearing probably will
develop into a fresh review of
Asian policies and American
commitments.
Chairman George said the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee
has made no definite plans to
call Mr.. Dulles for a similar
brfefing.
Mr.. Zablocki said the House
committee wants to clear up diff
fering versions of how far the
United States is committed in
defending Quemoy and Matsu,
the Red-threatened islands just
off the China mainland.
Data on Talks Sought.
He said members also want to
question Mr.. Dulles on his con-
ferences at Bangkok with British
Foreign Secretary Eden on the
whole Formosa question.
Mr. Zablocki said press reports
indicated to him that Mr.. Dulles
appears to a degree to have held
off" Mr.. Eden's reported efforts
to have the Chinese Nationalists
abandon the offshore islands in
return for a Formosa ceasefire.
But the Representative added the
committee wants to know def
nitely what happened.
Chairman Richards of the
House committee called on the
administration last week to
proclaim it's intention of defend
ing Ouemoy and Matsu. He said
secret briefings had convinced
him the United States has de-
cided to hold these islands be-
cause they are essential to the
defense of Formosa and the Pes
cadores.
Testimony Called Indefinite.
Representative Vorys. Republ-
can, of Ohio. and Senator George
said, however, they received no
clear-cut impression from the
administration testimony they
heard that the defense of the
ofshore Islands had been de-
cided.
Senator. Humphrey. Democrat,
of Minnesota. revealed that he
had asked Mr.. Dulles by letter
for formal clarification of Amer
lean commitments regarding, the
offshore islands and had been.
told that mutual defense treaty
with Nationalist China applies to
Formosa and the nearby Pesca-
dores Islands. g
Senator Humphrey said that in
his Interpretation there was to
be no further expansion of the
treaty areas without Senate rat
ification."
He said Assistant Secretary Of
State Thurston B. Morton re-
piled that the State Department
also understands that the AREA
covered by our mutual defense
treaty with the Republic OF
China is limited. in the case Of
China. to Formosa and the Pes
cadores. and that the treaty area
can be expanded only by mutual
agreement which in turn would
have to be presented to the Sem
ate for it's advice and consent"
