Missing Diplomat Stalls Relations
Between Sweden and Soviet Russia
STOCKHOLM, (JTA)—Swed-
en's insistence that the question
of the fate of the missing Swed-
ish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg,
who saved the lives of thou-
sands of Jews during the Nazi
occupation of Hungary, is the
principal stumbling block to
better relations with the Soviet
Union has brought a promise of
an official investigation from.
the Soviets.
Until the issuance of a joint
communique by the Swedes and
Russia in connection with Swed-
ish Premier Tage Erlander's
visit to Moscow, the Soviet gov-
ernment had answered all ques-
tions with the statement that
it had no information as to his
whereabouts.
Wallenberg was last seen in
1945 when he left Budapest to
meet the advancing Red Army
which was then clearing the
Gremans from that area. He
had gone there in 1944 with a
temporary post in the Swedish
diplomatic corps and the mis-
sion of rescuing as many Jews
as he possibly could.
Himself a non-Jew. Wallen-
berg carried out that task with
great success, despite great per-
sonal danger. He then disap-
peared.
A campaign on his behalf,
carried on by his mother and
half-brother who refused to
believe he was dead, has been
carried on since that time.
Swedish diplomats have . re-
ceived tips from time to time
that he is still alive and in Rus-
sia, but they have thus far been
unable to verify them. Wallen-
berg's mother said she has been
told by Madame Alexandra
Kollontai, wartime Soviet Am-
bassador to Sweden that her
son was still alive.

Sinai Hospital's Shapero
School of Nursing will open
this fall. Its first class of prac-
tical nurses will graduate in
September. Student applica-
tions are now being accepted.
The school was built after a
survey of Michigan's nursing
needs established that hospitals
have a tremendous need for
practical nurses to serve as
members of "nursing teams."
The practical nurse- performs
many duties performed in
previous years by a registered
nurse. She works right along
with the RN's.
The Shapero school will be
t h e first hospital - affiliated
school of practical nursing in
Detroit, and will offer the first
housing facilities for student
nurses.
Practical nursing is open to
men or -women' between 18 and
50 who have completed. the
10th grade in school. Hospital
training will be given at Sinai,
and, after the first four months
of assignments, will receive a
salary.
After completion of the one-
year course and passing of a
State Board. examination, grad-
uates are eligible to serve in
hospitals, clinics, doctors'
offices or on home duty.
Those interested in applying
to the school should write to

Arctic Adventures
For Detroiter
Captain Sheldon Simons, son
of Mr. add Mrs. Joseph Simons
of Pasadena, was one of the
first dentists to fly to the aid
of isolated personnel in the
arctic region,
"Doc" Simons spent most of
the past year travelling approx-
imately 10,000 miles to adminis-
ter to Ait Force Personnel sta-
tioned at remote outposts that
are almost inaccessible during
the winter months.
Lack of modern conveniences
and dental equipment at these
sites left Capt. Simons the al-
ternative of always carrying a
200 pound chest loaded with a
chair and portable dental field
unit. He recalls the time when
the chest was being transferred
from the plane to a rocking
boat and almost slipped out of
the men's hands into the water.
Fast thinking and luck saved
the chest, he said.
Unusual experiences in Capt.
Simons artic work include at-
tending emergency cases of sus-
picious, frightened Eskimos,
travelling by plane, boat, snow-
mobile and jeep and melting
snow to get a sufficient water
supply.
On one trip the plane landed
on a frozen lake six miles from
its destination and was met by
a snowmobile. After going a
short distance the party was
stopped. by a blizzard, which
made it difficult for the driver
to see. Progress was impossible
until Capt. Simons, his assistant
and two other men decided to
guide the vehicle through the
snow on foot. With the aid of
flashlights, they kept the snow-
mobile on the road and arrived
at the base without mishap,
Now stationed at the dental
clinic at Chanute Air Force
Base, Ill., Capt. Simons feels
that his artic wanderings were
a worthwhile experience. des-
pite the impredictable hazards.
