Hadassah Asks
Safety for Its
roOHHospital

NEW YORK — Charging that
Arab attacks and inadequate pro-
tection of roads by the British
are jeopardizing medical services
carried on in the Hadassah Hos-
pital on Mt. Scopus - outside of
Jerusalem in PaleStine, Hadas-
sah had made representations in
Washington both to the State De-
partment and to the British Am-
bassador to the United States,
asking that steps be taken at
once to insure the safety of Pal-
estine's "largest and best
equipped hospital."
The memorandum, sent to
Washington by Mrs. Samuel W.
Halprin of New York, national
president of Hadassah, • carries a
specific "bill of indictment" list-
ing 20 dates on which attacks by
the Arabs took place against Ha-
dassah medical teams, ambu-
lances, buses and buildings be-
tween the period of Dec. 30, 1947,
and March 4, 1948.
During that time, 27 indivi-
duals, including doctors, nurses,
patients and police..were wound-
ed and a Hadassah student nurse
and guard were killed by snip-
ers' bullets, hand grenades, mor-
tar fire and road mines. The
Arabs were accused of refusing
to honor the Red Shield of David,
mercy symbol equivalent to the
Red Cross which is clearly vis-
ible on all Hadassah vehicles.
