Greek Army Heroics Fuel US Relief Drive for Greece
Fresh reports of the tiny Greek Army’s staunch defense spur a nationwide push for ten million dollars to aid civilians behind enemy lines. Through November 20, about $614,384 has been received for distribution by the Administrative Committee for American Relief in Greece. The effort uses funds to buy ambulances, food, clothing, and other relief supplies, with over 500 local committees and 2000 Greek clubs aiding. National leaders include Harold S. Vanderbilt as honorary chairman, Archbishop Athenagoras as national chairman, and Spyros Skouras as national president, with headquarters at 730 Fifth Avenue, New York.
