Norman Davis, chairman of the American Red Cross, reported on progress of relief work in Poland and Finland to President Roosevelt today.
Mr. Davis told the President that serums and biologicals were now on the move from various parts of Europe to the Red Cross warehouse in Cracow but that the Red Cross had encountered difficulty in purchasing medicines in sufficient quantities and transporting them to German-occupied Poland. The serums and biologicals will be distributed in Poland under the direction of the German Red Cross and through Polish and Jewish agencies, according to the plan agreed upon by the German Government.
Paul Baerwald, chairman of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, conferred here with representatives of other organizations on Polish relief.
