Police searching for a burglar

troversy over the supply and
collection Of blood in the WASH
ington area. The controversy
was revealed recently by The
Star.
Pumps Widely Used
The committee invited sur
geons and other doctors using
heart-lung machines to q ses-
sion earlier this week. These
new pumps-which take the
place Of the heart during deli
cate heart surgery-are now
being used at the National In
stitutes of Health, Walter Reed
General Hospital and George
town and George Washington
University Hospitals. Another
is in operation at the Univer-
sity of Virginia Hospital at
Charlottesville, which comes
within the range of operations
of the Red Cross Regional Blood
Center.
The committee is investigat-
ling charges and countercharges
made by the Blood Center and
Psychologists of hospitals which
have been dropping out of the
Red Cross blood collection pro-
gram and doing it on their
own"
The Red Cross feels blood
collection is a community re-
sponsibility. The pathologists
running their own banks feel
lit is more realistic to have
individual patients made re-
sponsible for their replacement
of blood given them.

Blood Program Committee has

Of the Regional Blood
Center. This is being done by
a management consultant firm
as a public service at no cost.
DR.. John A. Reisinger, chair
man Of the Medical Society's
group, declared today that the
physicians at this weeks meet
ing were agreed that without
the help Of the Red Cross cole
lecting system, they did not see
how this new demand would
be met"
He added that the commit
tee is working on ways of meet
ing this new demand for blood.
1O1,O61 Pints Collected
DR.. Reisinger released new
figures on the Red Cross blood
collections. During the year
ending last June 80 the Blood
Center collected 91,618 pints
of blood, 5000 more than the
preceding year. In addition.
9,443 bottles were collected by
hospitals affiliated with the
center, making a grand total
of 101 ,061 pints as against ga
300 for the preceding year.
This was done, the commit
tee noted, despite three periods
of critical blood shortage-the
usual summer and Christmas
holiday slumps and an unex-
pected shortage last fall.
DIR. Reisinger declared that
similar statistics are being
sought from other blood banks
and hospitals in this area. He
was referring to the six Wash.
ington area hospital pathology
lists running their own banks.

fore the fugitive scaled a wall
and disappeared, police said.
Police then were stationed at
the address listed on the

were waiting, they learned from
an unidentified man that their
fugitive could be found at an
address in the ninth precinct.
Police there arrested the
suspect and sent him to the
sixth precinct.
However, detectives there
said they have not been able
to link him to the burglary at
the theater. They were puzzled
about why he hit Pvt. O'Brien
and ran away.
A bag containing $134, taken
from a safe at the Colony, was
found in an alley near the

"It is not unusual for a col

is a special handling stamp

There are two stairwells,
one on each side Of the main
entrance which is in the cen
