Seek UNRA Aid For Needy Jews Special Wire to Jewish News JERUSALEM (JTA) — T h e Jewish ,Agency is negotiating with the UNRRA to send welfare aid squadrons from England to Palestine to aid the Jews of Europe. It was declared on Tues- day at the Mapai conference that the three already sent are not sufficient. 11 Eliahu Dobkin, the Agency's [immigration chief, said that never ( did officials have so much pain .as in trying to distribute 3,000 'certificates just allotted among hundreds of thousands of Jews in liberated camps who are Clamoring for admission to Pales- tine. He said that the most. tragic problem are those who are state- less and who face reinterment unless they are allowed to come to Palestine. Vocational training is given the boys and girls to make them independent members of the community. The pivot of Hadassah's great medical organization in Pales- tine is the Rothschild Hadassah University Hospital on Mt. Sco- pus. Hadassah is planning a new tuberculosis hospital and a medical school. To continue the settlement of the thousands awaiting admis- sion to Palestine, more land must be made available. Ten dunam of land settles a family of four. Hadassah has already supplied about 100,000 dunam.

These are shipped with high pri- ority and without charge and in- clude vital drugs and chemicals, scientific and laboratory appara- tus, surgical dressings, clothing and bedding. The Hadassah medical staff gave valuable assistance to the allied military physicians sta- tioned in the Near East, through its export knowledge of tropical disease and the results of its re- search in wound healing with tissues extracts.
