food,. clothing, shelter, medical care, household furnishings, building and repair of homes or pro-

.vidinG financial assistance for such purposes, as well as rehabilitation.

Thecardinal principle of relationships between Civil Defense and the ied Cross and other private relief organizations should be that so long as such pri.vate organizations are able to assist the victims of disaster utiliz-ing private funds raised for such purpose, public funds should not be spent in competition with pri-g vate relief organizations.
