$4,000 Pints of Blood
Returned to Hospitals

More than IS. 900 pints of
blood have been paid back to
hospitals since the inception of
the Blood Bank of Delaware,
Inc, it was reported at the
ninth annual meeting last night.
James F. McCloskey, found
er and president of the nom
profit organization said that
49, ,407 Delawareans are now
covered by the plan. McCloskey
was re-electedpresidentfo for the
ninth consecutive time last
night.
Other officers reelected
we're: James T. McKinstry, vice
president for New Castle Coun-
ty; Arthur Dobberman, Dover,
vice president for Kent County
and Otis H. Smith, vice presi-
dent for Sussex County; Alexis
|. dupont Bayard, treasurer and
Raymond B. Phillips, secre-
tary.
McCloskey also revealed that
since October l, 1861 the bank
has paid out So, ,62l.25 in cash
for blood used out-of-state by
persons who underwent reg
ularly scheduled operations and
for emergency accident cases.
In 1861 the Bank announced
that in addition to covering the
emergency blood needs of en-
tire families for an enrolment
fee of $l.00 and an annual family
fee of $l.00, it would also pro-
vide up to $250.00 for out-of-
state blood use as described.
Last year that amount was
raised to $500 on the same
basis.
This means that when opera
tions are planned for member
of the Blood Bank of Delaware
and a state surgeon so desig-
mates, up to $500 for blood will
be paid for by the Bank.
Blood was distributed to hos :
pitfalls between May IS, 1855 tc
August 81, 1868 as follows: Del
aware Hospital, 1880 pints;
Memorial Hospital, 10, 7l8 pints;
St. Francis Hospital, 1898
pints; Wilmington General, g.
7l3 pints.
Also Beebe Hospital, Lewes,
307 pints; Kent General, Dover,
l,05o pints; Milford Memorial,
COL pints; Nanticoke Hospital,
Elkton, 2 pints.
The recent article published
in Kipplinger's Changing
Times" concerning the success
of the Delaware plan brought
numerous visitors to the state
to investigate it, McCloskey
said. There we're recent visits
from representatives of banks
in Dallas, Texas and Washington
D.. &C. and from interestedpeople
in New York, Florida and West
Virginia.
The Bank originated in 1854

the surprise Of the United

Prince Norodom Sihanouk de-

Cambodian neutrality.
At the same time, Prince ST.

of the French influence from
Indochina and asked the re-
turn Of French teachers and
certain types Of military equip

flee, wise to the ways of Orien-
tails. confidently expects furth-
er requests for aid. 1t is noted
that Peking has been swift in
its offers to step in and take
over from the departing Ameri-
cans.
Prince Sihanouk, however,
had not stopped there. He is
also calling for the reconvening
of an international conference
on the Geneva pattem-wheth-
er of nine nations, as In 1854,
or IA nations, as in 1861, is not
entirely clear-to guarantee
Cambodian neutrality" What
ever conferences might be

reached could have the most
direct significance for these
countries as well as for Cam

There was the trade mission

There have been persistent

duced are numerous. and
these win not be corrected by
a simple tax cut. Such a cut
Is expected to stimulate the
economy through q rise in
individual incomes. But per-
sonal income Is pretty high
already. Not everybody
spends money that would be
better saved for future
needs. such as higher ieduca-
ton for children.
II may be doubted whether
the economy will be mater
tally stimulated by private
spending generated by a tax
cut. Increases In Govern
ment spending will not do II,
either. For, as one set Of
Government projects is COM
pleted. there have TO be re-
placements, and the drain
becomes continuous.
Nor can the problems Of
the economy be solved by
gloating over statistics that
show q rise in total profits,
It's the number Of businesses
that survive and the rate Of
profit each can enjoy, as
well as the sumes available TO
investment, which in the
end can mean an increase in
Jobs. All the other devices
are temporary remedies de-
signed TO alleviate pain but
not to cure q chronic illness.
What the economy requires

day Is q major surgical oper-
alton. Congress will sooner

of venture capital. Overseas
markets for American goods

which. until the Eisenhower
