RED CROSS HAS 600 WORKERS IN U.S.ARMY, NAVY WASHINGTON, July 21 — Red Cross trained staff workers, num- bering approximately 600, are as- signed to camps, naval stations and military hospitals in the organiza- tion’s expanded service to the armed forces, Chairman Norman H. Davis announced here. Supplementing the work of these field directors, their staffs and the trained hospital workers, are thou- sands of volunteers, such as the Gray Ladies who aid in recreational work in hospitals and the volunteers in Red Cross chapters who make garments for the hospitalized sol- diers and sailors, Mr. Davis said. ‘Women in chapters also are making forty million surgical dressings for the Army, and in some chapters donors volunteer in the Red Cross project to provide 200,000 units of blood for blood plasma, requested by the Surgeon Generals of the Army and Navy. “The Red Cross,”.Mr. Davis re- perted, “is the only non-military organization serving within the mili- tary reservations, under army and navy regulations. The supplement- ary services it provides to the able- bedied men and women in hospitals, as required by its Congressional Charter, were begun in 1917 and have continued without cessation. Personnel Increased “To give this service to the greatly expanded army, navy and marine corps, with an estimated 1,600,000 men under arms, the Red Cross has everywhere along the line increased its trained personnel and volunteers and made supplementary appro- priations. For example, in order to meet an emergency need for recrea- vanced $1,000,000 pending ._pnssagef of a Congressional appropriation for this purpose. “Thus fa: wne increasea expendi- tures for the Red Cross service to the armed forces have been met from our cash reserves. To carry on | these and other Red Cross activities | a greatly increased membership dur- ing Roll Call next November will be needed.” Among the services and projects now being carried forward for the armed forces by'the Red Cross na- tional organization and its Chap- ters, as reported by Mr. Davis, are the following: Social Service Essential services affecting morale of the able-bodied conducted through field directors and assist- ants stationed at posts camps and naval stations to aid military per- sonnel in solving personal problems of themselves and their familles at home.

Hits Lcft, Throws Right had been labelled as a punch hit- ter, a guy who beat out infield blows. How come all this surpris- ing power? By CARL HUBBELL New York Giants Star Mullin a left-nanded Dbatter but throws right. He possesses a strong arm, best in the Detroit outfield, so was assigned the cen- ter field job over the brilllant Mc- Cosky. He carries 180 pounds cn a pair of speedy legs, and he is two inches over the six-foot mark. Mullin is good box-office at De- troit. Two seasons of semi-pro base- ball at Flint, make him a “home- state product.” A relative, Ted Prichard, indus- trial athletic director of Flint, ‘got him his Detroit trial. In Detroit Mullin lives in an apartment hotel as a neighbor to Schoolboy Rowe. His boyhood sweet- heart, Geraldine Wensing, has been Mrs. Mullin since last August and is one of the most enthusiastic fans among the Tiger wives.
