Memorial Day blood drive drives hope for wounded soldiers
Veterans share memories from Korea as volunteers and unions rally to donate blood. Readers recount injuries and high donations at blood banks, with one postman, a charwoman, and a dog sighting contributing pints. Despite broad public support, overall response remains uneven while organizers highlight plasma storage and urgent needs for whole blood in battle casualties.

Florida House clears budget bill with stay on taxes
Florida lawmakers moved a $274,050,000 budget bill through the House after Senate approval, with only two dissenters. The measure, larger than the current biennium appropriation, would not require new taxes if the expected revenue holds. Comptroller Gay suggested potential gains from a sales tax revision and a surcharge on organ juke devices, while wages for state workers would be frozen at May 1961 levels. Teachers may receive a $300 yearly raise, and higher education funding could be withdrawn if segregation remains in state universities.
