Red Cross Blames Realtors for Slowing Florida Aid Drive
In a dispute over Florida relief needs, American Red Cross chairman John Barton Payne charged Florida officials and real estate men with belittling damage reports and hindering an aid drive for storm victims. He cited up to 5,007 homes entirely destroyed and 18,000 affected, while about $3,000,000 of the $5,060,000 goal had been raised. Payne urged continued contributions as intermittent telegrams and reports argued the Red Cross figures overstated the need. He accused Florida leaders of obstructing relief messaging, and noted replies from C O C Pinckney and Miami officials. The issue touches tourism and aid efficiency as the drive proceeds.
