WASHINGTON — Genera! C.
Marshall once said the only way
the Red Cross could satisfy GI's
oversea as was to have one Red
Cross girl for every so-ldier.
That’s about the conclusion of-
ficers of the organization havp
come to after a decade of hearing
that their female recreation work-
ers durini; World War II ©ti
Korea were “brass happy".
Of all the UI gripes that plague
the Red Cross, this is the mosi
cliff.cult lor many old-timers in
lice organization to understand.
"At posts in Europe and Africa
we had trouble getting girls to
staff the officers clubs,” one of-
ficer reported. “They wanted to
work with the GI’s and, as a mat-
ter (if record, most of them spent
12 hours a day doing just that,
Durl g wQld War n lie
iii/aliQ) employed more than
000 Staff workers, sending many
of i 01 s to aid. i
amuse and serve fill's. At home it
organized millions-'of volunteers
for much the same Qrrposes Dur-
ing tire war it spent about $4,000,000

force s and veterans. In scores of

d of relatives at home.

What stings R© Cross vet-
eran.'', is lire lack of any basis
l’.a ! f. 0 iif the gripe
to do them anyway. In a sizeabi
West Coast city last year, for in-
stance, the chapter manager had
an acute need for additional sta-
tion v,naoHz also had an op-
portunity to buy several — at
little m re than cost — from a car
dealer w*U disposed toward the
Red Cress.
"But we hear so much about
'snooty' society women driving
shiny station wagons that i h.xl
severe doubts about buying the
cars,” lie said. His sense of duty
finally won over his fear of ent-
cism, and those cars have since
sped tin.Q.nds of miles on hu.
manitarlan errands — probably at
the cost of some good? will.
Few seem to realize that tile
Red Cross uses its vehicles to help
other welfare organizations as
woikcrs h.v a hundred to one. And
staff .,corker's pay is determined in
en' h locality by a volunteer boaid
c'f ,iiiectors. who usually represent
a (ross-sectlcn of the population.

centers; they take hospitalized vet-
erans to and from places of en-
CDI lertainrnent; they deliver blood to
40 | hospitals; they transport the blind;
they do a thousand merciful chore,-
that mO'.t otherwise go undone.
The term ’society woman” is
often used with a sneer. But many
women of wealth and leisure give
several days a week to driving oi
to other Red Cross volunteer work.
Many other women volunteers are
house wives v.:;n :t servants, bus-
