THE POST-STAR, GLENS FALLS, N.Y., THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1959 JOINT VISIT SET BY BLOODMOBILE Schuylerville and. Greenwich to Be Donor Centers Sept. The Red Cross has announced bloodmobile visit to Schuylerville and Greenwich on Tuesday, Sept. 1. The bloodmobile will split its operation, with half the staff in SchuyJerville and half in Greenwich in order to give donors in the two areas maximum service with least possible travel and inconvenience.

Mrs. Ralph Squires, a registered nurse and newly appointed blood chairman of the Schuylerville branch, stated that publicity given the recent crisis in the hospitals due to the shortage of blood had made everyone aware of the value of the program and the necessity of doing his or her part. "There is no substitute for blood," Mrs. Squires said, "and there is only one source people. Schuylerville has cause to appreciate the value of the Red Cross blood program, and I believe we will have a good donor day." Graham Blandy 3rd of Greenwich, chairman of the blood program for the Greenwich branch of the Red Cross, said every effort would be made to make the visit to that community a success.

"The last bloodmobile visit to Greenwich can only be classed as a failure," he said. "We must do our part to keep the blood bank going, rather than contribute to the failure of the program by using blood donated by other communities. "Our experience is. the 'same 88 that encountered by other residents of the chapter area in that when the bank is low or lacking in certain types, delays in handling emergency cases are encountered. Donors have to be located or members of the family must be called in and the blood typed and processed before it can be used.

"The, encountered critical by situation, recently was only temporarily relieved by the recent successful bloodmobile visits to Glens Falls and Comstock. It is now up to us to make a real effort to shoulder our part of this community responsibility." Details of the location and hours of the bloodmobile visit to the two communities will be announced.

SEE ROCKEFELLER IN POLITICAL BOX JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON, Aug.

19 UP- This the time--a few months before the 1960 election year-when wouldbe presidents try to make running look like just walking fast. So it is no wonder New York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller didn't actually, when say he: he climbed needed out more of leg a this week. One Aug.

Nixon, a political pro who has been warming up much longer than Rockefeller for the dash across the White House lawn, would never "have let himself get into a box like that.

And for a couple of- -reasons: 1. Time and events change public opinion. What the polls show Nov. 1. may be the opposite of the pollsters! finding Mix months later.

2. Polls may be wrong, as President Truman demonstrated in 1948 when the polls showed' New York's Gov. Thomas E. Dewey a shoo-in but the disbelieving Truman ruined Dewey's presidential ambitions forever. Even if the polls showed newcomer Rockefeller more popular, Nixon, the old pro, could still hope his deep and wide connections with Republican Party pollticians might get him the nomination anyway.

So it was no wonder either, that on Aug. 14 he said 'polls wouldn't influence his decision about seeking the nomination. He said; "In One of the greatest challenges for the 75th anniversary celebration one respect I'm like Harry Truof Camp Dudley at, Westport for the coming weekend falls to an attrac- man, I believe the only poll that tive Westport beautician, Opal Duntley.

Then, also, Rockefeller last week had dinner with Dewey, twice a presidential bridesmaid but never a bride, who was one of the prime forces in helping President Eisenhower get the Republican nomination in 1952.

No one ever accused Dewey of being A dumb political bunny although the way he campaigned against Truman wasn't very bright. He acted then like a man who didn't think he had to try because the polls said he was away out in front anyway, Whether or not' Dewey told Rockefeller about the political birds and bees--and how they may nest on poles but not on polls--the New York governor climbed out of the box those Aug. 3 reports put him in. On Aug. 17 he told reporters in Albany he had never set a Nov.

deadline for deciding on running: and besides, public opinion polls would not be a controlling factor in his decision on running. He, put it this way: "My own decisions are going to be made on a positive basis in terms of the opportunity of service which I feel I might be able to render." A pro reading that statement might translate it this way: "I'm not sticking. my neck out by saying I will or I won't; I'll just wait to see how my chances And yesterday Rockefeller, for a man who hasn't yet said yes or no, showed considerable interest in the 1960 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, which gives An indication of what Republican voters think of candidates.
