Red Cross Asks
Aid
IoHungariians

Americans. caught up in the
rush Of Christmas, were asked
to pause last night and share
their good fortune with the
Hungarians.
Ellsworth Bunker, president
OF the American Red Cross. an
nounced that relief operations
in Austria and elsewhere have
assumed a magnitude far greater
than early estimates. Mr.. Bunker
said the SIS million goal of the
Red Cross emergency relief drive
is now the absolute minimum
needed If the Red Cross is to
continue operations to meet the
needs Of thousands inside Hun
gary and Austria.
Friday, he said, reports showed
the United States has contrib
uted $3,406,027 to the special
fund campaign.
Many Communities Tagging
while the Red Cross is en-
couraged," Mr.. Bunker said, lit
is equally concerned to note that
many communities are tagging
behind the Nationwide pace
"a few minutes spent now in
the humanitarian cause" he
added. will be greatly multi
piled in the hours of happiness
it will bring the unfortunate
Hungarians."
Meanwhile, the District Chap
ter of the Red Cross announced
that the Washington urea is
leading the nation in large cities
which have exceeded their quota
in the emergency fund drive.
Daniel w. Bell, area chairman.
said total collections to date in
the drive are $118.395 or 1913
per cent of its $4,000 assigned
quota.
Mr.. Bell said the generosity of
the area is shown in the liberal
contributions still coming in from
people Of all ages and In all walks
Of life"
To Wrap 10000 Parcels
The local chapter will wrap
20, 900 of 100000 family-unit food
parcels provided by the Red
Cross for distribution in Hun
gary.
Each parcel contains three
pounds of canned meat, a one
pound can of fat, one pound of
dried milk, one pound of rice,
one pound of sugar and two
pounds of spaghetti, barley or
similar type food, as well as
seven packets of dried soup.

For Refugees
Denied by AZ
BY the Associated Press

The Air Force said yesterday
some American Servicemen are
stranded in Germany for the
Christmas holidays because bad
Weather in Europe had ground
ed planes scheduled to bring
them home.
"None of them were bumped
of planes to make room for
Hungarian refugees" being flown
to this country from Austria,
an Air Force spokesman said.
He made the statement after
an Indianapolis Serviceman re-
ported at least 900 GIs were
stranded in Germany because
planes had been diverted to fly
the refugees.
The Air Force said flights for
the refugees. as well as for the
soldiers, had been curtailed as
a result of weather conditions.
The spokesman added that the
Air Force arranged to con-
tinue its normal operations at
the time the refugee airlift was
started. No particular priority
was accorded the refugees, he
said.
Otis Tyner of Indianapolis
said his son, Specialist 3/C Lewis
E. Tyner, wrote that he and
the other soldiers we're being
held up at Frankfurt. Mr.. Tyner
said he complained to Repre-
sentative Charles B. Brownson.
Republican of Indiana.
Senator Byrd, Democrat of
Virginia, said he also had re-
ceived many complaints that
American soldiers were being de-
tanned in Europe to give the
plane reservations to Hungar-
ians.
The Senator said he thought
this practice is unfair, adding
t n at he strongly protested
against displacing American
Iservicemen from plane reserva-
lions in order to give the space
to Hungarian refugees"
Senator Byrd said he has been
in contact with the Defense De-
Ipartment on behalf of the Amer
lean Servicemen.

Briefed at Airport
Earlier. the Vice President was
briefed at the Munich airport,
where Hungarian refugees de-
part for the United States un-
der Americas Operation Safe
Haven.
Including today's flights more
than 1890 refugees have been
flown to new homes in the
United States from Munich. BY
December 80, Operation Safe
Haven hopes to complete its goal
of flying 9,700 Hungarian refu-
gees to America.
Mr.. Nixon went from the air.
port to nearby Luitpold Casern
where he saw Hungarian refu-
gees processed and prepared for
the flights.
Sources close to the Vice
President said he left snowy
Austria with the conviction that
the human problem of finding
new homes for refugees from
communism is much more ur-
gent than finding money to sup
port them. These informants
said this would probably be the
keynote Of his report to Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
Austrian officials to whom he
spoke placed full stress on the
problem brought about
by the sudden influx Of refugees
but Americans in the Nixon
party thought this was second
airy. They agreed the Austrian
government would suffer little il
any financial loss from the ref
ugee burden. 1t was generally
expected that the United States
either through public or private
agencies. would eventually pick
up most of the tab.
Over a Million
AuStrians estimated that more
than a million refugees flooded
into Austria over the past decade
