| RED ( ROSS ACTIVE IN
j TEXAS DISASTER
One of the primary functions
of the Red Cross is to help in a
disaster. Every chapter, in order
to keep its charter, has to have
an organization set up for dis¬
aster relief and service to the
Armed Forces. The disaster in
Texas was too large for the local
chapters to handle; it was too
large for the Area Headquarters
to handle, and the National Red
Cross was called in. Basil O’-
conor, chairman of the American
Red Cross, immediately announ¬
ced an initial appropriation of
250,000 to meet emergency needs
of the victims of the Texas City,
f.......-----i,„w, Ur xa v erosion.- WcfS
were made available to t f fly , v train
ed Red Cross workers to the
scene. Seventeen trained work-
rs in all were flown in, and
two of them were from South¬
eastern Area in Atlanta^ Per¬
sonnel and supplies from the At¬
lanta office are to be flown in
as needed.
When a disaster occurs, ev¬
eryone wants to help, and
one has to be there who is train¬
ed and officially recognized as
the organizer. This is part of
the function of the Red
They work in conjunction with
the local resources, but their
t rained personnel knows what to
do, which people can do certain
iobs, where to reach doctors and
nurses and to* assign them to the
most strategic spots, where
and shelter may be obtained, and
to see that food and other nec¬
essary supplies are there.
Another part of Red Cross
work in a disaster is to take the
names of the sufferers, the
names of their families, and to
know where they have been sent
for treatment. The Red Cross
also answers all inquiries from
relatives and friends who live
elsewhere and want to know the
welfare of their families in the
stricken area. The procedur*
in this Texas disaster is to con¬
tact your local Red Cross, ad¬
vising them what you want to
know . Your local Red Cross will
contact the Dallas Chapter,
which is serving as headquar¬
ters for the Southeastern states
inquiries. ’Dallas and Galveston
Red Cross chapters have install¬
ed a teletype system, as Galves¬
ton has the master files on all
victims. When the information
has been procured, your local
chapter will be notified.
Aren’t you citizens of Dade
proud that you belong to, and
have contributed of your funds
to an organization which is so
veil equipped that it can at a
moment’s notice, have trained
: workers and $250,000 sent im-
j mediately to help relieve the suf-
’ bring victims in such disaster?

Southern Senators To
Fight Proposal To Buy
Brazilian Cotton
Washington, April 23. — A
j group of cotton state senators,
headed by Walter F. George and
j Richard B. Russell, of Georgia,
I has served notice on the War de¬
partment ] that they will use
every means at their command
j to block the department’s pro¬
posal to purchase* 1,000,000 bales
I of Brazilian instead of American
'cotton for shipment to Japan.
Senator George termed the
proposal "an outrage” and de-
] dared that the move would be
j protested vigorously.
The group met in the office of
Senator Ru&sell voiced its op-
j position to the plan of Assistant
Secretary of War Howard C. Pe-
] terson and C. C. Smith, chief,
j cotton loan and utilization di¬ of
vision oi the Department
j Agriculture. Senator George said that Mr.
j’Peterson admitted frankly that
jcnc of the reasons for not using
j American produced cotton is be -
! rauae of its high price. Ke con-
Uended also, Senator George
! said, that the Brazilian cotton
, could b* 1 purchased cheaper and
| tV at to buy American cotton
! would tend to “run price up ”
Senaton George took the po¬
sition 'hat American dollars are
being used to buy the cotton and
that American cotton should be
: -h' to Japan Ho also pointed
ov<■ that if Brazilian cotton is
i -,<'d for the Japanese needs it
v ill open up a new trade chan¬
nel in detriment to American
industry-
The Georgia senator declared
al$o that the purchase may tend
to ’rundown” the price of Amer-
wMe tnOwgfTiihehi^feppmg ;
in to support the price-all at the
expense of the American tax¬
payer.
