Salzburg Cable Pleads For Help to Europeans

Stressing the desperate need abroad for food, clothing, and books, Richard D. Campbell, Jr. '48 issued an urgent appeal this week for immediate University aid to Europe in a cablegram from the Harvard Rest Home at Salzburg, Austria.

In a cablegram to his brother, William S. Campbell '50, chairman of the Relief Committee at Harvard, Campbell, administrative director of the Home, emphasized the key position of the Leopoldskron organization, which is able to act as the middle man in handling gifts sent overseas from this country. The Seminar European Advisory Committee is prepared to reship all packages which are sent to them according to their needs, the cable said.

Fat Lacit

Most urgently needed foodstuffs include fats of all kinds, cooking oils, sugar, canned meats, and dried milk and eggs to supplement the "monotonous diet of 1500 calories per day" and to ward off constant cold, it went on.

Campbell also pointed out that books, especially those published in the last ten years, are in constant demand and fall far below present requirements.

Every size and kind of warm garments for men, women, and children as well as wool for knitting are among the clothing necessities. Packages should be addressed to Richard D. Campbell, Jr., Salzburg Seminar APO 541, care of Postmaster, New York City.
