The Congress of the United States in an Act incorporating
The American National Red Cross charges the organization
"to furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of Armed Forces in time of war, in accordance with the
spirit and conditions of the conference of Geneva ... and also the treaties of the Red Cross, or the treaties
of Geneva ... to which the United States of America has given its adhesion ... to act in matters of volun-
tary relief and in accord with the military authorities as a medium of communication between the people
of the United States of America and their Armed Forces, and to act in such matters between similar national
societies of other governments through the `Comite International de Secours,' and the Government and
the people and the Armed Forces of the United States of America ... and to continue and carry on a system
of national and international relief in time of peace and apply the same in mitigating the sufferings caused
by pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and other great national calamities, and to devise and carry on measures
for preventing the same."

 Corporal Riley said he had always just
taken the Red Cross for granted. He
enjoyed the "back home" entertainment
and refreshments brought by the Red
Cross clubmobile girls. He knew there was
"a Red Cross man" with his outfit. But
the fact was: Corporal Riley took the Red
Cross for granted . . . never gave it a
thought ... until one day he got a letter:
His wife back home was sick-she had to
have an operation-she didn't have the
money to pay for it-anal who would take
care of the twins? Corporal Riley was now
sick too-with worry-because he didn't
have the answers. His buddy suggested
that maybe the Red Cross man could tell
him what to do. This is what happened :
The Red Cross field director listened to the

story and then communicated with the
Home Service worker in the chapter where
the corporal's wife was living. In a few
days, word came back that the Red Cross
had arranged for medical attention and for
care of the children while their mother was
in the hospital. The message added that
the Home Service worker would stay in
touch with the family and keep the field
director informed of Mrs. Riley's condi-
tion.
Corporal Riley doesn't take the Red
Cross for granted any more.
This past year there were plenty of Cor-
poral Rileys, ex-Corporal Rileys, and their
families too who were glad that there was
a Red Cross.
Servicemen and women at domestic mil-
itary installations and overseas have Red
Cross service available to them. The Red
Cross is on the job also in military and
veterans hospitals, at Veterans Adminis-
tration offices, and in every serviceman's
or veteran's home town or home county in
the nation. That means everywhere!
Last year Red Cross field directors as-
signed around the world handled hundreds
of thousands of communications for serv-
icemen; obtained reports from chapters
that were useful to military commanders
in making decisions on emergency leaves,
transfers, and separations for compas-
sionate reasons; helped with personal and
family problems; and provided financial
assistance approximating $7,400,000 in
grants and loans. Of the loans made, ap-
proximately 93 percent are repaid.
American Red Cross volunteers over-
seas brought to our military communities
many of the same services that are avail-
able to families in the United States.
In Korea, clubmobile teams traveled to
remote outposts to provide recreation ac-
tivities for our servicemen. They visited
about 300 different military units every
week. In Morocco and France the six
centers established at the request of the
Department of Defense carried on recrea-

gAt
tion activities, with excellent participa-
tion from the local populations.
In military hospitals Red Cross workers
provided patients with counseling, hos-
pitality services for their visitors, financial
assistance, personal services, and recrea-
tion.
For veterans and their families and de-
pendents of deceased servicemen and vet-
erans, Home Service provided information
on and assistance with applications for
federal and state benefits, furnished re-
ports in their behalf as requested by the
Veterans Administration, and helped them
find solutions to personal and family
problems.
Red Cross field directors stationed in
Veterans Administration offices and chap-
ter workers cooperated to help disabled
veterans or their surviving dependents
obtain government benefits to which they
were entitled. Assistance with claims was
not limited to filing applications. Chapter
workers frequently had to request help of
other chapters in obtaining evidence rec-
ommended by field directors to substan-
tiate claims. In these cases the field direc-
tors represented the veteran or survivor
before Veterans Administration rating and
appeal boards.
In all Veterans Administration hospitals
Red Cross volunteers gave a diversity of
services. Ranging from their teens to re-
tirement years, they helped in the care
and rehabilitation of the Veterans Admin-
istration's thousands of patients.
Increasingly these Red Cross volunteers
are devoting themselves to the needs of
hospitalized veterans 65 or above, who
already make up a fifth of the VA patient
load. Providing these older patients with
new skills and motivations, volunteers help
prepare many of them to return to pro-
ductive, adjusted lives.
For patients who must live out their
years in a hospital, Red Cross volunteers
bring a touch of the "outside" world and
the "heart" of companionship. ^

 A man named Olsen really needed help
last year when his home was washed away
in a town out in Indiana. The Red Cross
assisted him-with no obligation to repay.
All it required was proof of actual need.
When people need help they know they
can count on the Red Cross. Last year the
Red Cross conducted 298 disaster relief
operations for victims of fires, tornadoes,
floods, hurricanes, wrecks, explosions, and
other disasters.
Thankfully, most communities were not
hit by disaster. Local Red Cross chapters
were on the alert though-just in case.
When disasters did strike, local Red Cross
workers and frequently national staff went
into action immediately.
The largest single disaster operation of
the year was the one following the January
and February floods in Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, New York, Indiana, and West Vir-
ginia. Large industrial cities, small towns,
and farms were affected. The Red Cross op-
erated 84 shelters; provided meals, cloth-
ing, and medical and nursing care; con-
ducted an extensive inquiry service; and
in many other ways saw to the emergency
needs of thousands.
Then followed the rehabilitation period,
during which the Red Cross aided over
10,800 families by giving them food,
clothing, and other maintenance, house-
hold furnishings, extended medical and
nursing care, and occupational tools and
equipment and by building or repairing
their homes. Expenditures in this one op-
eration totaled approximately $3,050,000.
Red Cross benefits to the nation's dis-
aster victims last year were provided at
a cost of $6,904,982-nearly seven million
good, hard American dollars spent wisely
and carefully.
During the fiscal years 1955-59, the Red
Cross gave emergency mass care and indi-
vidualized aid to hundreds of thousands of
disaster victims. The cost of this service
totaled more than $73,000,000. ^

The Rose of No Man's Land.. And who was
she? She was the Red Cross nurse, whom
everyone revered.
Today the ideals of the Red Cross nurse
are the same as they were in 1918.
"In the battle against human suffering
the Red Cross nurse is the first to serve,
the last to rest." That sentiment was in
the hearts of many Americans in the 1959
observance of Red Cross Nursing Services'
Jubilee.
Last year chapters maintained a reserve
of 58,000 professional nurses for Red Cross
duty call. On Red Cross disaster relief
operations, 97 percent of the nurse assign-
ments were volunteer. In the January and
February 5-state floods along the Ohio and
its tributaries and in other disaster opera-
tions, Red Cross volunteer nurses gave
4,000 full days, or the equivalent of more
than 10 calendar years, caring for disaster
victims.
Throughout the nation, nurses volun-
teered with the Red Cross to serve in com-
munity clinics and blood donor centers and
to teach the two home nursing courses,
Care of the Sick and Injured and Mother
and Baby Care. The Red Cross awarded
225,500 certificates to persons completing
the courses.
Initiated during the year was a Red
Cross program of training aides employed
in nursing homes. A new volunteer nurse's
aide program in Veterans Administration
hospitals was readied for experiment. Aides
are to be trained to assist patients with
physical therapy exercises and help them
to become more self-reliant.
Red Cross Nursing Services-founded
in 1909 by Jane Delano-looks to the next
50 years with the conviction born of a
great, proud past: It envisions even
stronger and more extensive programs in
the interest of the nation's health. ^

Almost every one of us can recall a time when
Red Cross first aid came in handy. Many of us
can recall a time when someone's life was saved
by artificial respiration learned in a Red Cross
course. And we must never forget the courses in
swimming and diving, lifesaving, smallcraft, and
canoeing that millions of Americans have been
able to take through Red Cross-all for safety.
Since the beginning of Red Cross Safety Services
in 1910, 38,000,000 certificates have been issued to
persons completing formal courses-21,000,000 in
first aid and 17,000,000 in water safety.
During the past year, Safety Services spurred
its efforts to teach Americans how to live safely.
Certificates issued to persons completing Red Cross
first aid and water safety courses numbered 2,513,-
300. New educational materials on safety pro-
duced by the Red Cross for public distribution
included stories, pictures, and cartoons for news-
paper and magazine use and also a motion picture,
Teaching Johnny To Swim, based on the Red Cross
booklet of the same name.
Because of the accident potential attending the
greatly increased popularity of recreational boat-
ing, the Red Cross has been familiarizing boating
enthusiasts with facts about boats and motors,
boating regulations, and principles of water safety.
The past year, the mouth-to-mouth (or mouth-
to-nose) technique of artificial respiration was
adopted by Red Cross, upon the recommendation
of the National Academy of Science, National
Research Council, as the one most practical for a
single rescuer to use. The method was publicized
through the issuance of a textbook supplement,
which also presents modifications of the two
manual resuscitation methods.
In 1960 the Red Cross will celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of the launching of its nation-wide
first aid program. It will be a fitting time to ob-
serve that many hundreds of persons are now alive
who would not be but for the Safety Services of
the Red Cross. ^

1959 marked the centenary of the birth
of the Red Cross idea on the battlefield of
Solferino in Italy. The anniversary was
observed throughout the world. At Solfe-
rino an international memorial to the
humanitarian initiative of Henri Dunant
was dedicated. In the memorial 78 coun-
tries are represented through contributions
of native stone and money.
For the thousands of battle victims at
Solferino, the aftermath was pain, mutila-
tion, and death. But the aftermath for
posterity is the Red Cross, a bond among
the peoples of the world.
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, United
States Representative to the United Na-
tions, addressing delegates at the'1959 Red
Cross national convention, stated that
"the world-wide work of the Red Cross is
not a distant hope but a present fact, and
a fact of inestimable value. It keeps us
faithful to the universal moral law....
Governments have to heed the dictates of
strategy. The Red Cross can elicit and
translate into effective action what Lincoln
called `the better angels of our nature,'
because the Red Cross teaches us to give
generously and receive gratefully.
"It is, therefore, good that the Red
Cross, the Red Crescent, and the Red Lion
and Sun exist around the world. It is good
that the Red Cross should be so warmly
supported in the United States. Its count-
less acts of mercy have stirred feelings of
fellowship in many countries, and such
feelings are among the great realities that
will live on long after communism and the
cold war, with all their bitter passions,
have faded into history."
The American Red Cross had a busy
and fruitful year on the international
scene. It gave financial and material aid
to Algerian refugees in Morocco and
Tunisia and Tibetan refugees in India. It
sent, as it has done since 1955, two Ameri-
can Red Cross parcels a month, plus
family packages, to all Americans known
to be held captive inside China. It coop-
erated with other Red Cross societies in
helping to locate, in 800 instances, persons
missing because of World War II or sub-
sequent events.
The American Red Cross welcomed 51
visitors-from 29 Red Cross societies, the
League of Red Cross Societies, and the
International Committee-who were in-
terested in studying our Red Cross pro-
grams and organization.
During the year negotiations between
the Red Cross societies of the United States
and East Germany terminated in the re-
lease of nine American servicemen detained
after their helicopter was forced down.
Similar negotiations accounted for the re-
lease, on two separate occasions, of five
other servicemen and of one civilian em-
ployee of the American military.
The deeds of mutual aid among all Red
Cross societies evidence the broadening
benevolence of mankind: They are an ele-
ment of hope for the future. ^

 Young people are reaching out for oppor-
tunities to serve others. Through the Red
Cross, they have these opportunities in great
measure.
Among the projects of Junior Red Cross
members in one chapter last year was the
building of miniature houses to the specifica-
tions of psychiatrists working with hospital-
ized children. The project was a complicated
one; the juniors enjoyed it all the more because
they were creating something that would be
put to important use. Projects that young
people can really "sink their teeth into" are
becoming more and more the order of the day
in Junior Red Cross.
Events in Red Cross the past year give
promise of even broader and more varied ac-
tivities for youth and young adults. In the
summer of 1958 a special conference was held
to explore and appraise means of activating
a dynamic interest in Red Cross among college
students. Then followed (1) the distribution
of an interim report made by the Red Cross
Youth Study Committee to stimulate chapters
to strengthen their youth programs and (2) the
creation of a new Office of Educational Rela-
tions to keep pace with the growing interests,
needs, and problems of the younger population.
Millions of Junior Red Cross members en-
gaged actively in chapter and community
activities last year. The international school
art, album, exhibit, school chest, and gift box
programs were stepped up. The Red Cross
Children's Fund helped to meet the needs of
children in other lands, furnishing polio vac-
cine, for example, for children in Greece and
India. Participation of college students began
to increase as Red Cross gave more attention
to the campus as a source for volunteer service.
The initiative and imagination of youth and
adult leaders together accounted for a year
of achievement. Imaginative acceptance of
youth's skills and enthusiasm promises "a
bridge of Red Cross service to the future." ^

Suppose a businessman had 149 volun-
teer workers for every employee. He'd be
able to operate at a minimum cost. Be-
cause the Red Cross has 149 to 1, it can
carry on many more activities than it would
be able to otherwise.
The accomplishments of the past year
are in great measure a reflection of the
efforts of the organization's large number
of volunteers active in all Red Cross pro-
grams throughout the nation and at Amer-
ican armed forces installations overseas.
Volunteers responded in force as they have
always done to raise the funds needed for
the work of the Red Cross. Volunteers
supported and took an active part in the
new and different approaches being tried
out cooperatively by the national organi-
zation and chapters to improve chapter
programming, economy, and efficiency.
From these efforts have come indications
for organizational betterment.
Listed with pride among the volunteers
of the organization last year are the mem-
bers of the Advertising Council, Inc., the
advertising agency designated by the
SUPPORTING VOLUNTEER
ACTIVITIES
CIA-RDP80B01676R003600060072-0
Council to serve Red Cross, radio and tele-
vision networks and stations, the news-
papers, wire services, national magazines,
and company publications, the motion
picture producers and exhibitors, the out-
door advertisers, and many others in the
communications industry who promoted
and interpreted Red. Cross.
Gray Ladies, volunteer nurse's aides,
staff aides, social welfare aides, and mem-
bers of Motor, Entertainment and Supply,
Canteen, Arts and Skills, and Production
Services carried on many and varied ac-
tivities last year in Red Cross chapters,
institutions, and agencies.
Volunteers are, in almost all instances,
trained for their specialties by the Red
Cross. A pioneer in volunteer training and
activities, the Red Cross shares its "know
how" with other agencies.
The work of volunteers-2,000,000
strong-is evidence of the nation's belief
in the principle that the common well-
being can best be served through voluntary
action.

GENERAL
This report presents the financial position
of The American National Red Cross and the
results of its operations for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1959.
The national organization's financial plan
provides for:
1. An annual campaign for members and
funds to finance the established services
and activities of the organization-na-
tional and international.
2. A disaster revolving fund available for
expenditure when disaster needs are in
excess of the amount provided in the cur-
rent year's budget.
3. A general fund balance available to meet
extraordinary commitments precipitated
by a national emergency or other circum-
stances, pending special public appeal
for funds.
4. An endowment fund, from which only
the income is available for expenditure
for program services and activities.
The bylaws provide there shall be held in
the general fund of the corporation all sums
received from any source, including:
1. Membership dues, contributions, gifts,
and donations (except any portion
thereof authorized by the Board of Gov-
ernors to be retained by the chapters) ;
2. Income derived from the Endowment
Fund, unless a contrary use is desig-
nated ; and
3. All other income of the corporation.
Funds restricted as to purpose by the
donors are accepted only when such purposes
are within the scope of the organization's
program. They are carried as part of the gen-
eral fund but are accounted for through the
maintenance of subsidiary records. For exam-
ple, contributions for a specific disaster relief
operation are made a part of the general fund
but are set aside in a special account for that
operation. Likewise, contributions for the
Junior Red Cross are recorded in a special
account designated "The American Red Cross
Children's Fund," and are appropriated only
for Junior Red Cross projects and program
activities. For report purposes, the receipts
and expenditures of restricted funds are com-
bined with general funds in the statement of
income and expenditures (page 22).
The bylaws state that, unless otherwise
designated by the donor, there shall be re-
ceived and held in the Endowment Fund all
monies derived from gifts made by will, trust,
or similar instrument, except such portion
thereof authorized by the Board of Governors
to., be retained by the chapters.
The Endowment Fund is administered and
controlled by a board of nine trustees as pro-
vided in the congressional charter, and sep-
arate books are maintained. Only the income
earned on the invested principal is available
for expenditure by the organization in the
conduct of its general program of services and
activities. The Endowment Fund, together
with certain other funds held by the trustees,
is administered in a manner similar to that
in which banks administer common trust
funds, with each investor holding participat-
ing units in the principal of the funds and
sharing ratably in earnings.
ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Generally, it is the practice of the corpora-
tion to record the cost of supplies and equip-
ment as an expenditure at the time of pur-
chase. Exceptions to this practice are supplies
purchased for sale to chapters, comfort sup-
plies purchased for free distribution to the
armed forces, and supplies and equipment
purchased for the operation of Blood Services.
The value of such supplies and equipment is
charged to inventory accounts at the time of
purchase. As sales of supplies and equipment
are made to chapters or as shipments are
made to points of usage or distribution, the
inventory accounts are reduced.
Land and buildings are carried in the bal-
ance sheet at a nominal value of $1 for each
parcel or unit. The cost of land and buildings
in excess of such nominal value and the cost
of all additions, improvements, and better-
ments thereto are recorded as expense in the

 Approved For Release 2002/08/21 : CIA-RDP80B01676R003600060072-0
year in which the expenditure or commitment
is made.
The outstanding balance of servicemen's
loans, less an allowance for uncollectible
loans, is shown as an asset in the balance
sheet at the close of each fiscal year on June 30.
At the close of each fiscal year (June 30)
any unexpended balance of the amount appro-
priated in the annual budget for disaster
relief is transferred to the disaster revolving
fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
There is no commonly accepted definition
of just what constitutes "administrative ex-
pense" or "overhead" in a service and relief
organization. By and large, the programs of
the Red Cross performed on behalf of the
American people consist for the most part of
service of a personal nature that must be per-
formed by personnel, either paid or volunteer,
on which it is not possible to place a dollar
value and in which relief in the form of a
tangible commodity is not a factor. The
amount of money expended for grants of
funds and for supplies. in the direct relief
sense is relatively not large, except for dis-
aster relief, and it is only incidental to the
service programs.
If the term "administrative expense" or
"overhead" is defined to mean expenses at-
tributable to the overall direction of the
organization and not including amounts di-
rectly expended in connection with the con-
duct of the service programs, then the
question may be readily resolved. On page 18
of this report, there is shown a combined
statement of income and expenditures of the
national organization and the 3,690 chapters
and their branches.
In Red Cross, the term "General Manage-
ment-Planning and Administration" is used
to denote administrative expense and includes
executive offices, personnel administration,
and accounting and auditing. Against this
caption in the statement referred to, it will
be noted that a total of $11,731,005 was
expended for this purpose. The total expendi-
tures for all services and activities amount
to $86,456,167. Therefore, in the overall,
the cost of administration amounted to 13.6
percent, or, putting it another way, approxi-
mately 14 cents of each Red Cross dollar was
expended by the national organization and the
chapters for general management. All chap-
ters are separately organized and function
independently of each dther. This accounts for
the higher ratio of general management ex-
pense for the chapters as a group than for
the national organization as a single entity.
The Red Cross is essentially a volunteer
organization. Annually about 2,000,000 men
and women give their services voluntarily to
the Red Cross in their communities. Obvi-
ously, the value of their participation if
measured in dollars would reach astronomical
proportions. There are approximately 13,400
paid employees-3,800 in the national organi-
zation and 9,600 in the 3,690 chapters. There-
fore, the ratio of paid personnel to the number
of volunteers is 1 to 149.
ANNUAL AUDIT
The charter and the bylaws provide that
the financial reports of the organization be
audited annually by the Department of De-
fense and independent public accountants.
The audit report of the Department of De-
fense is transmitted to the Congress of the
United States by the Secretary of Defense.
The financial statements of the national
organization for the year ended June 30, 1959,
compared with the year ended June 30, 1958,
together with the report of Haskins & Sells,
appear on pages 19 through 23.
The combined statement immediately fol-
lowing sets forth the income and expenditures
of the domestic chapters and their branches
and of the national organization for the year
ended June 30, 1959. The audit reports of all
chapters for the year ended June 30, 1959,
had not been received by the national organi-
zation when this report was released for
printing. Therefore, the income and expendi-
ture figures shown for the chapters are ap-
proximate. ^

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The American National Red Cross:
We have examined the balance sheet of The American National Red Cross
(not including accounts of Chapters) as of June 30, 1959 and the related
statement of income and expenditures -and general funds unappropriated for
the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with gener-
ally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the
accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and statement of income
and expenditures and general funds unappropriated present fairly the finan-
cial position of the Corporation (not including accounts of Chapters) at
June 30, 1959 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis
consistent with that of the preceding year.

1. Under the bylaws of the Corporation, funds derived from unrestricted legacies, etc., are to be
considered as endowment funds. Accordingly, the funds so derived during the years ended
June 30, 1959 and 1958, aggregating $1,573,326 and $1,325,522, respectively, were received
directly into the Endowment Fund of the Corporation and, therefore, have been excluded from
the Statement of Income and Expenditures.
2. The Corporation allocates expenditures for office services, maintenance and improvement to
buildings and grounds, and supply procurement and distribution to the various services and
activities which it conducts inasmuch as such expenditures are considered as an indirect cost
thereof. Accordingly the following expenditures were allocated, generally on the basis of direct
costs or number of personnel engaged in the various services or activities:

ing the approximate unexpended balance of the amount appropriated in the 1958-59 budget for
disaster services, was transferred to the disaster revolving fund.
