more than rs per cent. Prince
Georges General Hospital has
refused to itemize blood for in
digents, claiming a fiat Is per
cent.
The Blood Center currently
is operating on a 1897, 900 bud
get. Money comes from the
District Chapter. the county
chapters served by the center,
the hospitals which collect the
processing fee and the Red
Cross National Headquarters.
Next years fiscal budget
would reduce the District
Chapter contribution by $22,-
600 or about 40 per cent. The
county chapters would con-
tribute $4,000 less and Ma
tional Headquarters $4,000 less,
The hospitals contribution
would be increased by $4,000,
Next years total budget is
$416,000.
When the Blood Center de-
cided to levy the processing
chatge, a number of Washing
ton AREA hospitals decided to
promote their own blood banks
depending less and less on the
Red Cross bank.
Controversy Erupts
Shortly afterwards a con-
troversy between the Blood
Center and a number of hos
pital pathologists erupted which
resulted in a survey by a pri-
vate management consultants
firm.
This resulted in a proposal
to reorganize the blood pro-
gram giving Maryland and Vir-
ginia Red Cross chapters a
stronger voice in the bank
which has been controlled by
the District Chapter. The pro-
posal Is being adopted.
The Blood Center has de-
cided to approach area hos
pitals individually on the
processing charge increase, a
move which has irritated sew
eral hospital administrators.
ITS a move to divide and
conquer" one said. "They
should negotiate with the
Washington Hospital Council
which represents us all. told
them I wouldn't talk with
them"
Several administrators have
also expressed concern oyer the
fact that their patients are
charged the present $3.50 per
pint, collected by the hospitals
and turned over to- the Red
Cross. But, the patient in Doc
tors or Providence Hospitals
who has credit for Red Cross
blood gets it for hothing.

he said, they can appeal TO

ton in September.
Asked what he would do II
the AFL-CIO tried to enforce
the order. Mr.. Carey laughed
and said: What do you do
when you're thrown out? You
bounce" He made it clear,
however. that he expects Presi-
dent George Meany to keep
postponing any concrete en-
forcement action.
The craft unions earlier this
week won an even more signifi-
cant fight with the industrial
unions. when the council re-
ceived a recommendation up
holding the right of craft
unions to coordinate plant
wide organizing campaigns.
This recommendation was re-
ferred to the Executive Com
mittee for further study.
Says He Won't Give In
Mr.. Carey admitted the craft
unions have the votes" on the
executive council to sustain the
recommendation, but he said
he has no intention of giving in.
He and other industrial
mionists have charged Mr..
Meany with bias in favor of
craft unions. and have accused
him Of authoritarian tactics. A
heated squabble erupted at last
February's council meeting.
This weeks meeting was more
peaceful. Mr.. Carey said.
"Meany was more soft-spoken
about being wrong, and he was
wrong less of the time"
At a press conference after
the council ended its quarterly

challenged business interests to

Mr.. Meany charged they're

pretty formidable drive against

He said "propagandists are

become too powerful"
In other actions yesterday,
