ANSWER THE CALL
With the simple plea “Answer the Call,” the
American Red Cross next week makes its annual appeal
for funds to carry on its local, national, and internation
al work.
Here, surely, is a call we must all answer gener
ously and with a full measure of warm-hearted approv
al. For the call of the Red Cross is the call of suffering
humanity everywhere—of human beings in need or
distress across the street or across the nation. It is a
call which Americans have never failed to answer.
It is particularly appropriate, too, that the Red
Cross should make this appeal, because few other
organizations are so much a part of American life. The
Red Cross is not an organization apart from the people
of this country. It is made up of the people themselves.
When it acts, anywhere, it acts in your behalf—
doing what you would do if you were at the scene of
disaster or at a soldier’s side in Korea or Europe. It is
you who makes its great work possible by your gift
of time and energy and money.
And it is you for whom it exists—no matter who
you are, no matter where you live. For Red Cross
service is available to all, freely and without question,
on the simple human basis of need alone.
Answer the call of the Red Cross next week when
you are asked to support its great humanitarian work.
Answer as generously as you can.

Improved Jet Engine
Announced For Sabres
LOCKLAND, O., (/P)—A sleek
and shiny “improved” jet engine
—destined to “make the F-86 even
more potent than the Sabre jets
now flying in Korea”—has been
unveiled here.
The engine — the J47-GE-27—
made its debut with considerable
fanfare Wednesday at the dedica
tion of a General Electric jet cen
ter here.
It was the tenth anniversary of
the running of the first American
turbojet at General Electric’s
Lynn, Mass., plant in 1942.
The “27” has a thrust rating
*‘in excess of 5,800 pounds,” a 10
per cent greater driving force than
the General Electric power plants
rtf thp Sabres now in Korea.
Longest Jet Battle
SEOUL, Korea, (JP)—American
Sabre pilots destroyed or dam
aged 13 to 18 Red jets in a series
of fights Thursday climaxed by
history’s longest jet battle.
Darkening skies prevented ex
act assessment of results of a 40
minute dogfight over North Ko
rea. Twenty-eight Sabres tangled
with 40 MIGs in a fight running
over 70 miles. The longest pre
vious air battle lasted 35 min
utes.
The fight brought the Sabres’
three-day record to at least 31
and possibly 36 Red jets hit, in
cluding 11 shot down.
Fifth Air Force mounted 969
sorties Thursday, seven more than
its previous record set April 30,
1951.

No Inconsistency ?
NEW YORK, (yP) — Gen. Mac
Arthur says there is “no incon
sistency whatsoever” between his
statement in 1948 that he would
not shrink from any public call
to duty and his current unwilling
ness to allow his name to be used
in party primaries.
MacArthur made the declara
tion Thursday night in a state
ment saying he neither directly
nor indirectly approved any move
to put his name forward for the
Republican presidential nomina
tion in the April 1 Wisconsin
primary.
Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney,
MacArthur’s aid who issued the
Thursday night statement, was
asked if MacArthur’s reference to
his 1948 principal could be inter
preted as an announcement that
he now would be willing to accept
a call from the people to be Presi
dent.
Whitney replied to a newsman
that he would not interpret the
statement, but that anyone else
was free to interpret it for him
self.

Republican Candidate
for
House of Representatives
At The
Primary Election, April 29th
You, the taxpayers of the
Second Division, are vitally in
terested in having your tax
dollars put to their most ef
fective use by our government.
You, as voters, are also in
terested in obtaining people
representing you at the Terri
torial Legislature QUALIFIED
to work and fight for your
individual interests. I want to
see the Second Division given
its proportionate amount of t*x
monies rightfully due it for the
constructive development of
the economy of our country.
In the 37 years I have lived
in the Second Division and dur
ing the 17 years I have been
actively engaged in mining as
manager of Lee Brothers
Dredging Co., I have acquired
a knowledge and understand
ing of the needs of our country
and our people which, in my
opinion, qualifies me complete
ly to assume the responsibilities
of good legislation and legisla
tive procedure.
When you go to the polls on
April 29th ask for the Repub
lican ballot, the "Eisenhower
Party" ballot; and please re
member, your vote for me for
representative will be appreci
ated. Thank you.
