and their children, Helene, 7, Paula, 5, and Berthe, 2.
The family was scattered during the war, Feiwel having
been deported to forced labor in Siberia by the Russians.
The family has been reunited with Mrs. Alter's three
sisters, who live in Brooklyn, N. Y. Because of the
oversubscribed Polish quota—the family is originally
from Poland—the Alters had to . wait eight years to
immigrate to the United States, but early this year

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—Israel has discovered a process for extraction of uranium from
rock phosphates in the Negev desert and is experimenting with the use of solar energy and
has worked out a method for the enrichment of heavy water by a process that does not require
the use of electrical power.
These advances were revealed here Tuesday as Israel's 10-man delegation to the inter-
national conference on peaceful uses of atomic energy, in session at Geneva, presented one
of its most important scientific papers, a report dealing with the country's energy require-.
ments for the next 10 years.
Prepared by Israel's atomic energy commission, the 23-page report includes forecasts con-
cerning various phases of the country's future development. Revelations regarding uranium
and solar energy were found by scientific experts here as
"exciting."

Ground Broken for Shapero School of Nursing atSinai
Hospital; First Class to Be Enrolled in September, '56
Work commenced this _ week on the Shapero School of Nursing, to be built adjacent to
Sinai Hospital with funds provided by the Nate S. and Ruth B. Shapero and the Cunningham
Drug Company Foundations.
Ground-breaking took place at 4 p.m. Monday, at brief ceremonies under the chairman-
ship of Max Osnos, president of Sinai Hospital.
The first spadeful of dirt was turned by Mrs. Shapero. Rabbi Minard Klein of Temple
Beth El gave the prayer.
Mr, Osnos, in his brief remarks, stated that the Shapero gift "marks the first step in our
program of adding to our original Sinai Hospital facilities, and will be a real contribution in
the field of nursing education and training in the United States." -
Mr. Shapero, who was the only other speaker at the ceremonies, stated that the first class
in practical nursing will be enrolled in the school to be housed in the planned building in
September of 1956.
According to plans, the Shapero School of Nursing will graduate 48 practical nurses each
year. The school will be located west of Sinai Hospital and adjoining it.
