Eisenhower has been re leased by the war department: ‘‘During the current Red Cross Fund Campaign vast numbers of patriotic Americans have responded generously to the cause: Already the majority of chapters have reached or exceeded their local'goals. In some communities, however, I understand the campaign ia lagging, and I am surprised to learn that one of the reasons given is that complaints are being ievellM at the organixatlon’s overseas operations by returning ser vicemen. "For the moat part these crUlclsms have grown out of a Red CroujMllcy of making nominal charges our forces tor food and lodgings la fixed Rsd Cfoss tnsUllatlona gbrgmL *111680 complaints ars distressing to me sines thU particuUr Rsd Cross policy arts adopted at the rsqusst of the army so as to Insure an sQultable distribu tion among all service personnel of Red Cross resources. “I know the Red Cross. I have seen it In action. Ovtfivsas it performed with the precision of a well trained army. It would be a grave injustice to the splendid work of the Red Cross if Its campaign should be retarded anywhere by mistaken criticism.- ’’In providing millions of pints of lifesaviug blood plasma, thousands upon thousands of packages for pris oners of war. In relaying countless heart-warming messages regarding --conditions at home, bringing comfort and entertainment and cheer to hos pitals, leave areas and battle fronts, the Red Croaa acromplished a prodi gious task. In Africa, in - England,, later on the Continent, we leacir^ how much It meant to find the "com panionship. the friendliness, the link .-with home the Red Cross managed to provide. * “The^ervlces of the Red Croat are - as urgently needed todaT-hy Tnrr occu pation troops, our men in hospitals, and our veterans as they ever were by our fighting forces in time of war. The Red Cross needs and deserves ourjjMtlnued support, At the mom ent ItMs in the closing days of its greatest peacetime campaign for funds. It stands now in the ‘shadow of |^«| goal posts.
