CARE Parcels
Pierce Curtain

CARE packages are being de-
livered behind the Iron Curtain
because they are prepared as
many of us send out ordinary
packages - in old cartons,
wrapped in used paper and tied
with knotted string.
This Operation Subterfuge,"
according to Murray Lincoln,
president of CARE, was devised
after the East German govern
ment cracked down on all pack
ages coming into the country
from the West. 1t was learned
from a refugee that coffee re-
moved from the packages had
been given to Communist officials
as Christmas gifts in 1852.
Since Operation Subterfuge
has been in operation, the de-
livery of packages in East Ger
many has been increasing. Last
year it reached a total of 10000
packages. Eventually the Amer
lean donor of the package re-
Iceives a letter from the recipient.
The package, ordered in this
country for about IS, has a
value in East Germany of about
$40, Mr. Lincoln said.
CARE is increasing its empha-
isis on aid to the Orient. But
it is continuing assistance to
those areas of Europe where
great need still exists.
Mr.. Lincoln said 1000 surplus
food packages were being rushed
TO the area in Italy where snow
and the cold wave cut off people
from food and fuel. Regular
CARE packages of food and
Clothing also are being sent into
that area.
