problem among Europe's Jews! today. JDC surveys have indica- ted that the tuberculosis rate among Jews in the displaced per- sons camps of Germany is eight times higher than the incidence in the United States. UNRRA officials with whom the JDC has consulted under- took a camp-by-camo examination to check on thos.: needing hos- pitalization. The JLC printed the first public health literature in Yiddish for distribution among Jewish DP's. The finest treatment for tuber- culosis is rest and proper food. To this end, the JDC has granted funds leading to the opening and maintenance of six tubeculosis sanatoria in Switzerland. One of the proudest achieve- ments of the JDC in Italy is the Merano Sanatorium, which re- ceived its first patients last No- vember. Spurs UJA lishment and restoration of medi- cal- institutions. Fight for Health of DP's Pressed GET MEDICAL SUPPLIES 155 Hospitals Run by JDC Physicians . By DR. J. J. GOLUB Chairman, JDC Health Committee NEW YORK—A decade of tor; ture, of systematic starvation and horror has left the health of thousands of Europe's Jewish survivors broken and shattered. Rebuilding their strength remains one of the most gripping prob- lems of Jewish life on the con- tinent. Many of the Jews who live and work and struggle to rebuild their lives today were found by their liberators among the heaps of the dead in Nazi concentra- tion camps. •Others spent the days of Hit- ler's occupation hiding in dismal forests, dark caves, cemeteries. Many more felt the lash of the Nazi whip in slave labor gangs, working endless nights and days, in rain and snow, under a broil- ing sun. SPEND 58 MILLIONS These are the men and women and children for whom the Joint Distribution Committee is now giving care in more than 155 hospitals, dispensaries, sanatoria, and clinics in nearly every coun- try in Europe. These are the people who are the concern of JDC's medical and public health staff. JDC medical activities last year received appropriations am- ounting to approximately 20 per cent of the committee's expendi- tures, which totalled over $58,- 500,000. In the JDC public health pro- gram, JDC's medical officers con- sult with local Jewish commit- tees on health problems and give guidance as well as financial sup- port in planning, developing and carrying out programs to meet the medical needs of Europe's Jews. In every country in Eur- ope JDC works in close cooper- ation with existing health agen- cies such as OSE in the estab- fi Friday, April 4, 194, DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle Page Six The fight for health which is one of the primary tasks of the JDC in behalf. of Europe's Jews begins with the extensive sys- tem of medical supplies ship- ments which the JDC inaugur- ated even before V-E Day. Un- der this program, huge supplies of medicines, surgical equipment and other facilities are shipped regularly from the United States to Europe for distribution by qualified JDC field workers. From the United States office of the foreign liquidation commis- sion, the JDC has purchased in Europe further quantities of medical supplies, ranging from bandages and surgical equipment to complete mobile health units Other medical supplies such as syringes, needles and similar items in great demand have been ourchased in Sweden. Local pur- chases of X-Ray film and similar items supplement JDC's ship- ments. JUDITII BEILIN, former Eng- lish stage star who gave up a promising theatrical career to marry an official of the Jewish Agency, told leaders of the Uni- ted Jewish Appeal in New York that "there is room in Pales- tine for all of Europe's home- PENICILLIN SHIPPED less Jews but the assistance of An initial stock of penicillin American Jews is vital before was distributed to each JDC office • this vast resettlement program in Europe last year together with can be made possible." recommended procedures for the control of its distribution. To- day weekly shipments of penicil- lin and other life-saving drugs leave by air express from Euro- pean headquarters of the JDC in Paris for nearly every country on the continent. Arrangements completed with UNRRA made it possible for the JDC to provide the delivery of over 30 Army field dental chests, each of which represents a com- plete, dental clinic installation.
