L. r Page Three THE JEWISH NEWS 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. `Look' Article Libels U. S.
