Red Cross chief warns of financial tightrope at convention
San Francisco May 19 AP Chairman E Roland Harriman told the 33rd annual American Red Cross convention that tighter purse strings nationwide require greater organizational efficiency. About 4000 delegates from all states plus Hawaii Puerto Rico heard the government will cover most blood cost per pint. The Red Cross estimates 6 dollars per pint with 4.50 funded by the government. Last year the change would have added over 564000 dollars in income. Harriman forecasts this year’s drive will miss the 93 million goal but exceed last year’s 5 million. The convention runs through Wednesday.
