contributions —already far be-

yond expectations—should reach

$150,000.

There were these other devei- 1

opments in the campaign to meet

the $lO million national need:

1. Dominican Ambassador

Joaquin Salazar today presented

the American Red Cross with a I

second SIOO,OOO check from the i

Dominican Republic to be used

for flood relief. The first SIOO,-

000 check, received last Friday. 1

was a personal gift from Gen

eralissimo Rafael Trujillo, for- 1

mer president of the Republic

The second check, the Ambassa- 1

dor said, was a gift from the

government.

2. The American Red Cross

said it had received enough

clothing and other supplies to

meet every need for these goods

in the flood area and urged

givers to make their contribu

tions in money.

Raymond T. Schaeffer, assist-,

ant to the president of the

American Red Cross, issued this

statement:

"The outpouring of donations

of new and usable clothing,

canned food, household and

cleaning materials and supplies,

has been tremendous. Manufac

turers and merchants have

shipped these not in gross but in

carload lots. The Red Cross has

in hand now so much of these

donated commodities that it can

meet every need for these com

modities in the flood area.

“While the American Red

Cross appreciates these donations

of relief supplies in kind, it

points out that its appear has

been for funds rather than do

nations in-kind. It does this to

avoid the* cost of warehousing

and handling of such supplies
