PUSAN, Korea, June 27, 1954 (PMP)-Cpl.
Phil McHaney, Dallas, Tex., received quite a package from home yesterday-500
pounds of oatmeal.
McHaney soon found that the cereal was meant for
Pusan orphans. Some time ago the corporal, a former all city football
tackle, wrote to the sports editor of the Dallas News and described
the plight of Korea's homeless children.
The paper launched "Operation Dallas" to send McHaney
goods to be distributed among Pusan orphans. So far, McHaney understands
the drive has collected nearly half a ton of oatmeal and 300 pounds
of clothing. He expects more big packages from home in the near future.
