Red Cross Requests Speedier Output of Surgical Dressings Capital’s Contributions To War Relief Fund Reach $32,851 Contributions to the Red Cross war relief fund will be received and acknowledged in the news columns if sent to the cashier’s office at The Star. ‘Washington surgical dressing units preparing supplies for Europe today were working under orders from the District Red Cross Chapter to in- crease production, while local con- tributions to the relief fund reached $32,851.11. Otto S. Lund, chapter manager, called on all units to speed up the output in an effort to fill this week’s quota of 118,400 dressings of six types and to meet an emergency quota of 20,000~ special types for the British Red Oross. Contribution of $1,600,000 through- out the Nation has been reported. This figure failed to indicate the full extent of the country’s response to the $10,000,000 appeal, for only 500 of the 3,700 Red Cross chapters have made reports. Supplies Speeded. Among those meeting with the Finnish Surgical Dressing Unit here yesterday was Mme. Hjalmar Pro- cope, wife of the Minister of Fin- land. “It is urgent,” she said, “that we make these surgical dressings as quickly as possible. Red Cross sup- plies at the New York shipping cen- ter are being dispatched so fast that volunteers must speed up pro- duction.” The Finnish unit, composed of about 50 members, has met since hostilities began and has already made 23,810 surgical dressings. Among those from whom con- tributions kave been received here are Countess Laszlo Szenhenyi and Countess DeLimur, who sent $1,000 each. The Edgar Morris Sales Co. reported 100 per cent of its em- ployes have contributed. Dressings Rushed by Plane. Progress of the Nation-wide drive | was announced by Red Cross Chair- man Norman H. Davis as some rare | supplies needed in’ brain surgery | and 1,800 pounds of surgical dress- ings poured into France after be- ing rushed across the Atlantic by Clipper plane. Mr. Davis also announced that the | first “mercy ship,” laden with $1,4 | 000,000 worth of supplies, would be | sent to France early in June. The| United States Maritime Commission | informed the Red Cross head that it would make available either the Artegas or the McKeesport, both of 8,000 to 9,000 ton capacity, which are under charter to the United States Lines but not Government- owned. Mr. Davis explained that the Red Cross decided to charter an Amer- ican vessel when officials learned that the plight of 5,000,000 French and Belgian refugees was so desper- — | até that the organizétion could ‘not RESORTS.

Therefore, none of | the funds being contributed in the | present campaign will be used, for German relief.’ ’ Refugees’ Plight Described. I ‘The Red Cross made public a cable | received from Wayne Chatfield-Tay- | lor, Red Cross delegate to Europe, | graphically describing the scenes as | the tide of refugees rolled into Paris, “The roads and railways into | Paris from the west and north are crowded with refugees, old men, women and children,” he wrote. | “Whole families who have been on | the road four and five days arrive | with their feet bloody and legs | swollen. Many had walked 80 miles. | “In one small first-aid room in | & Paris railroad station, I talked | with four parents, whose children | died on the way. | “As this pitiful stream of refugees | poured through the railroad station | the wounded were sent to the first- | aid room, where the wives of two | French generals. now at the front, | were directing the Red Cross ald‘i the and Belgian peasants. “The calm and efficient way the CHARGE ACCOUNTS CORDIALLY INVITED DEFERRED Pay Plan MONTHS TO PAY No down payment, 5 no interest refugees are being handled is ag- tounding.

ATHENS, May 24.—Greek officers and soldiers of an additional quota designated as “Category 15" today were called up for service May 25. The official announcement said the purpose was “periodical train- ing with new arms.” Telephone conversations to and | from Athens met with difficulty, especially when military subjects were broached. Additional Italian troops are on the way to Albania, it was reported. | | | "Sturdiweve’ Tropicals MEN who acknowledge the importance of being well dressed on a modest budget TAKE NOTE OF THE INEXPENSIVE LUX- URY and COMFORT OF STURDIWEVE!

DEPENDABILITY Strict Rules Are Draffed For Battleship Launching By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 24—Strin- gent precautions to keep prying eyes at a distance during the launching, June 1, of the 35,000-ton Washing- ton, first battleship addition to the United States Navy since 19321, were disclosed yesterday. All shipping will be banned from the Delaware River for two miles| 1 up and down the stream for at least two hours before and after the mighty floating fortress slides down the ways at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. New Jersey State police will patrol the opposite shore of the river. Only | persons with passes will be admitted to the yard. Photographers will be limited in views they may take. The Washington and a sister ship, the North Carolina, to be launched at the Brooklyn Navy Yard June 13, are rated as more powerful than any existing battleship in the United States Navy. Each will have a 5,000-mile cruis- ing range, will carry 1450 officers and men, and will mount nine 16- inch guns in three turrets. The Washington’s keel was laid June 14, 1938. Completion of the $65,000,000 vessel was not expected until July, but work in its final stages was rushed in line with the wish of President Roosevelt that naval construction be expedited. Gibraltar Does Not Plan To Force Men Out BY the Associated Press. GIBRALTAR, May 24.—Gibraltar was relieved today by an official an- nouncement that the government has no intention of compelling the departure of any citizens except women with young children. Such women and their children were removed to Morocco May 21 in connection with British prepared- ness measures in the Mediterranean, the western entrance of which is guarded by Gibraltar, Experimental tobacco cultivation In Austria is successful.
