short time a complete roster of
donors of the various blood types
were on hand.
The list was barely complete
when the first call came. A fisher
man was stricken aboard his ves

perately in need of several trans
fusions. Alerted by radio, the ma

Bank went into action and the
fisherman was receiving blood
from a Jaycee donor within min

On another occasion Dr. Jesse
Hcrrtft said they needed a pint of
blood during an operation late one
night. It was 1 a.m. when the calls
went out but the response was ter

give transfusion under this plan
within 15 minutes after the need
arises.
The doctors admit the best
method would be to have blood

Monday. March 6, 195C
A new leftist party headed by
an old Greek warrior emerged to
day as a strong force in Greece.
Conservative foes said the leftists
had hidden communist support.
Y'ith nearly one-half of the re
: turns in from yesterday's parlia
| mentary elections, the National
Progressive Union headed by Gen.
I Nicholas Plastiras held a slender
lead over the two big traditional
parties—the Conservative Popu
lists of former Premier Constantin
Tsaldaris and the Moderate Lib
erals of Sophocles Venizelos.
Still another leftist party drew
a sizeable vote. It was the Repub
lican Front headed by former
foreign minister John Sophianol
poulos. The Communist party did
not take part. It has been outlawed
i as a result of the civil war that
j ended last fall.
The two leftist parties held 29
I per cent of the vote with about
half of the 4,000 precincts heard
from.
In London, the King’s speech at
the opening of the new parliament
was as mild as milk. The Labor
government, holding only a seven
seat majority, shelved further na
tionalization as an immediate
goal.
The speech traditionally reveals
the wims of the government in
power. Today it dwelt on the need
of international agreement for
the control of atomic energy, and
continued support of the United
Nations. It promised to introduce
legislation if needed to maintain
full employment. The Conscrva
k tives are not likely to call for a
vote of confidence on such issues
as these.
The communists sparked a
strike on bus and subway lines in
Paris. The strike confused but
failed to halt the city’s normal
life. In the National Assembly
the government choked off a 72
hour-old communist filibus ter
aimed at killing an anti-sabotage
bill which would provide prison
sentences of five to 10 years in
stead of death for sabotage of war
or defense material.
The communists have been pro
testing for weeks against the ship
ment of arms to France in con
nection with the U. S. military aid
program.

Alaska became a Territory in
1912, the same year in which New
Mexico and Arizona were admit
ted to the Union as the 47th and
49th States.
Four years later the first Alas
ka statehood bill was introduced
in Congress. But never before has
any such legislation been reported
out of committee and reached the
House floor for debate and a vote.
During arguments that proceed
ed the roll call, Rep. Crawford <R.
Mich.) challenged the opposition
as unmerited and said Alaska
would be more useful as a state
than a Territory in this country's
defense set-up.
He said tn< < ning of U.
S. defenses in Alaska would come
through increased settlement and
development, and added that now
there is no one in Congress “who
can vote to defend the people of
Alaska against the monopolistic
powers primarily opposing this

Rathbone was shown a thick

he asked members of Congress to

Bridges. The letters called the pro

Rathbone said he wrote them
