Elections
M WASHINGTON (UP) — The
™846 congressional elections are
a long way off, but the CIO
already has let it be known that
it considers them a crucial test
of its political action commit-
tee.
® CIO President Philip Murray
says the elections next year will
be a test of the success of the
political action committee—its
success in making the voters of
the country aware of the issues
#—and in making the voters alive
to the necessity of voting on
the issues.

A Proclamation
WHEREAS, under the provision!* of Its Congressional char-
ter, the American National Red CrosH, in this fourth year of the
war, is fulfilling Its obligations to comfort our wounded, to cheer
and help our servicemen on every fighting front, and to provide
an essential link between these men and their families at home,
thereby relieving anxiety and restoring hope to(all those who are
suffering and in need of aid; and
WHEKEAH this organization Is helping the people at home
to stand firmly behind our fighting men through its collection of
blood for our wounded, Its shipment of food parcels, medical sup-
plies, and comfort items to our prisoners of war in enmey hands,
its production of surgical dressings, and its recruitment of nurses
for our Army antf Navy; and
WHEREAS the American National Red Cross is also carry-
ing on its peacetime activities by assisting the civilian victims of
tornado, flood, and other disaster, and by training the people of
our Nation to combat sickness and accident and thus to prevent
suffering and death; and
WHEREAS, by the very nature of its services and the prin-
ciples for which it stands, the American National Red Cross is
helping to build a world of unity and peace and brotherhood,
recognizing no barriers of creed or race; and
WHEREAS this organization, which represents a tangible ex-
pression of the desire of the people to reach out to the Nation's
fighting men, now far removed from tliem, and which is entirely
dependent on voluntary contributions to carry out its purposes,
is issuing to every citizen of this country its 1045 appeal for a
minimum War Fund of $200,000,000:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, Presi-
dent of the United Stales of America, and President of 4lie Ameri-
can National Ited Cross, do hereby designate the month of March
1945 as Red Cross Month, confident in the readiness of the people
to respond to the utmost of their ability in support of this organi-
zation built by their generous contributions in the past and dedica-
ted to their services in this hour of increasing need.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, 1 have hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this 19th day of January in
the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-five, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the one hundred
and sixty-ninth. __
FRANKLIN I). ROOSEVELT.
the campaign will lack glamor
and excitement.
He says the union plugged—
•hard and steady—to achieve the
realization of the program for
which the ClO's political com-
mittee fought during the presi-
dential campaign last fall.
Murray admits that the CIO
has been disillusioned with con-
gress since the November elec-
tions. He warns that if the un-
ion relaxes in 1946—when elec-
tions will lack the glamor of a
presidential race—so-called re-
actionary elements will take ad-
vantage of the chance to grab
power. As for 1945, Murray says
the political action committee
will work in local elections to
help progressive candidates.
As to dissatisfaction with
Congress, the CIO says sen-
ate approval of the tieorge
measure — separating the,
federal lending' ageycies
from the department of com-
merce—and the house vote
to continue the un-American
activities committee — can
be considered a sharp warn-
ing of what it calls reaction-
ary strength.
Speaking of congress, strong
opposition—republican and dem-
ocratic—threatens the adminis-
tration's hopes for quick passage
of the work-or-else bill. The
senate military affairs commit-
tee is considering the manpow-
er measure in closed sessions.

ed government corporations are
operating in South America—
and dispensing millions. But the

how the money is being spent.

Veterans To Need
Nearly 3 Billion
. Next Fiscal Year
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
house appropriations committee
has vividly illustrated the rap-
idly-soaring cost of caring for
I the nation's war veterans.
The congressional committee
■ says some $2,700,000,000 is need-
ed by the veterans administra-
tion during the next fiscal year
—and that's an increase of 113
per cent over present expendi-
tures.
The recommendations is a
part of the same $3,225,000,000
which the committee has voted
for independent government of-
fices in 194G.

Fall of Manila
Revives Memories
For Sam Ferguson
LOS ANGELES (UP) — The
events of the past 24 hours —
the fall of Manila, especially —
have brought back a flood of
memories to Sam Ferguson of
Los Angeles.
For instance, Sam can remem-
ber how Manila looked in 1898
when he —as an 18-year-old sig-
nal boy — first raised the Amer-
ican flag over the captured Phil-
ippine capital.
Sam also can look back to that
day before the turn of the cen-
tury when Spanish officers at
Fort Santiago — the "Hell-hole
of Manila" — hoisted the white
flag of surrender. It was then
that he and another signal boy
were given the honor of accom-
panying the American officer
ashore.
"You may go," Commodore
Dewey told Sam Ferguson.
"If yop find some soap and
water and comb your hair,
because you must look as
neat as possible."
After Sam had combed his
hair, he and his buddy and the
American officer presented surl
render terms to the Spanish
commander.
Then, as the Americans watch-
ed from their ships in the bay
and cheered, Sam pulled down
the Spanish banner and raised
the American flag over the fort.
"Wish I was there now," re
says.

Shannon led singing. Both are
high school faculty members.
Mrs. Homer Bradford, secretary-
manager directed the entertain-
ment.
