Liberalized DP Bill Expected
to Pass in Senate and House
NEW YORK—President Tru-
man has been given a strongly-
worded protest against the
"horrifying massacre" of Pales-
tinian medical personnel by
Arabs on April 13.
Signed by 86 top-ranking
American physicians, research
scientists, educators, deans and
department heads of medical
schools and hospitals, the letter
couched in sharp accents, re-
quests American action "to make
impossible any recurrence of
such a tragedy . . . which out-
rages every decent instinct of
civilized man."
The incident referred to is
the killing of the Hadassah med-
ical director, Dr. Haim Yassky,
and 76 workers, patients and
members of the Hadassah and
Hebrew University Staff who
were ambushed in a routine
medical convoy on its way from
the center of Jerusalem to Mt.
Scopus, site of the Hadassah
Hospital.

NEW YORK—The cornerstone

lish refugees arriving in Pal-
estine in great numbers, the

federation of General Zionists,
