i THEY’RE BANKING ON YOU
Bloodfor Ourselves
A&M’S Student body may have a chance to put a portion
of themselves in the bank to draw on later on. This is not
a deposit of money but is a donation of blood.
Next Tuesday a mobile unit of the Southeast Texas De
fense Blood Center from Beaumont will be on the campus to
collect blood for use on the battle fields in Korea.
Within two days after the Aggie donor gives a portion
of his blood, it will be available for use in Korea. The blood
is transported to the west coast and from there to the fight
ing front.
There is no greater way for those of us at home to show
the men who are on the front lines that we are behind them.
But if this general patriotic appeal doesn’t hit home, stop -
and consider that there are many former students— yes that
fellow that sat next to you in English when you were a sopho
more—are over there fighting.
But a strong appeal was not even needed to get the
Aggies to offer theeir blood for defense. Late last night there
was 151 men who signed on the dotted line, saying they were
willing to give blood.
Requirements for blood donors are simple. A person has
to be 21 years of age—or under 59. If the men are under 21
they must have the approval of their parents.
The remainder of the requirements are relatively simple
.—a person just has to be in good general health. A list of
the particular qualifications are on the front page of today’s
paper.
Its a cold way of looking at it, but for some of us it
probably won’t be over a year before we are called into ser
vice. It might be us that will need the blood then.

Senator Duff Believes

San Antonio, Nov. 8—OV)—Sen
ator James H.* Duff (R-Pa) be
lieves General Dwight Eisenhower
is the type of “spectacular leader”
who can unite Republican factions
and find great favor among South
ern Democrats.
He told reporters here he had
already bumped into some pro-Ei
senhower sentiment among Texas
Democrats he had talked to at
Houston. He said he found similar
views among Democrats in Virgi
nia and North Carolina. He plans
to talk to more Democratic leaders
before he leaves Texas, but he
would not say who.
Senator Duff started a four-day
Eisenhower-boosting tour of Texas
officially today. He bumped into
a red-hot local and statewide row
between Republicans, quickly said
he was not in Texas to stir up
antagonisms.
Winner Unifies
“A winner would be the best-
possible unifying force,” he told
reporters here.
“There are rivalries everywhere.
But everybody will be back of the
nominee and I believe the nominee
will be General Eisenhower.
“Pm not aaginst anybody,
just for Eisenhower.”

The Texas GOP fuss was brought
into the open yesterday when Mike
No'lte of San Antonio, state GOP
treasurer, said that the senator is
rendering a “great dis-service to
Gen. Eisenhower” by his visit to
Texas.
Nolte, among the Republican big
wheels not invited to meet with
Duff, said the senator’s visit, in
stead of producing harmony, “is
taking on the appearance of a
personal endorsement by Gen. Ei-
senhorver of Jack Porter’s candi
dacy for national committeeman
from Texas.”
Porter was defeated for the of
fice a year ago by Henry Zweifel
of Fort Worth. He is generally
considered to be in the race again.
The Duff tour is being promoted
by Porter. The senator goes to
Fredericksburg for a dinner and
Eisenhower rally tonight, then to
Midland tomorrow.
Most of the GOP organization’s
leadership has not been asked to
take part in with the Duff tour.
In 1948, the Texas Republican dele
gation was for Senator Taft. -Nolte
said yesterday it might have to get
back on the Taft bandwagon; as a
result of Duff’s visit.

“0”, the most common ‘ and the
only kind which will mix with all
types, is handled in this manner.
Blood of types other than “0” is

made into plasma and shipped to
points designated by the Defense
Department.

continues as it has in the last
