' The offer of Red Cross services went to the Red Cross societies of Great Britian, Australia, Netherlands,. Philippines, Thailand, New Zealand, Bolivia and Canada and to the Red Crescent of Turkey. All these countries have announced their willingness to send forces to Korea. Currently there are twenty-one field workers in Korea, including three women, providing traditional Red Cross services to American troops. Eleven more workers are enroute. The aid offered other UN forces parallels that offered to U.S. servicemen and is available only until their own Red Cross workers are able to join them in the field. Mr. Ferris stated that the program includes counseling on personal and family problems; transmitting or requesting information through Red Cross channels, distributing comfort articles, and providing such recreation facilities as may be requested by the military. Since the conflict in Korea started,' Red Cross headquarters at Tokyo has requested $90,000 worth of supplies for use in Korea.

S. Treumry Oc^fnSmt i next of kin and an alternate^ designated by the serviceman are notified directly by the military headquarters. "We are now told", states a worker at the Red Cross office "that mail to and from Japan is normal and to and from Korea is also prompt. The best interest a family or a friend can show a serviceman is to write regularly to the last known address and not to expect prompt replies." Servicemen in combat areas do .not have the opportunity to write regularly. Troops are moving rapidly and considerable delays can be expected. In many instances families have not heard fr6m the servicemen in several weeks or months, and in many ' instances great anxiety results. If emergency occasions arise in the servicemen's families the weal Red Cross should be notified and they, in turn, will assist as possible in having messages relayed to the men at the front. However, it is impossible to accept inquiries relating to the health and welfare of the man in service on anything but emergency basis as any report obtained, by a Red Cross field director cannot be expected to assure a family of the serviceman's wall being at any future tim€.
