Shapero School of Nursing
Will Open on Monday with
First Class of 50 Students
Impressive ceremonies, held last Sunday morning on the
grounds of Sinai Hospital, marked the formal dedication of the
Shapero School of Nursing.
More than 500 people, including distinguished leaders in the
fields of medicine, social service and government, attended the
outdoor festivities, held under the chairmanship of Abraham
Srere.
The first class of 50 students will commence studies in this
school, for supervised patient care at Sinai Hospital, next Mon-
day. This school, made possible by the $500,000 gift of the Nate
S. and Ruth B. Shapero Foundation and the Cunningham Drug
Foundation, will be one of the only three research and demon-
stration schools in practical nursing in the United States.
Present at the Sunday ceremonies were many of the stu-
dents, wearing their uniform that was specially designed • by a
New York fashion designer. Students in the first class include
men and women, of all creeds, races and walks of life, from many
sections of Michigan, ranging in ages from 18 to 51.
Mr. Shapero, addressing the dedication ceremony, outlined
the objectives of the school, paid tribute to the help given the
project by his wife, "without whose help it could not have materi-
alized," and expressed gratitude for his help to. Leonard N.
Simons, who was the coordinator of the program and Mr. Srere's
associate chairman of arrangements.
Mr. Shapero presented the keys to the building to Sidney J.
Allen, vice-president of Sinai Hospital, who made the acceptance
speech in the absence of Max Os-nos, Sinai's president_ Mr. Allen
spoke of the beneficial effect of the school on Sinai Hospital
Which, he said, now will be able to render more comolete care
to its patients. He, in turn, presented the keys to George Stutz,
first president of the Shapero School of Nursing.
The 50 students in the first class, according to Mr. Stutz,
were selected from 400 applicants.
Speaking in behalf of the Jewish Welfare Federation, Judge
Theodore Levin, Federation president, welcomed the school's ad-
dition to the community's buildings and stated that "every new
facility makes for a stronger community." He presented the
Shaperos with a Federation certificate of appreciation for their
great gift to the community.
Mayor Albert E. Cobo, introduced as a friend of Mr. Shapero,
praised the gift in behalf of the City of Detroit.
Rabbis Richard Hertz and Morris Adler gave the opening
and closing prayers at the dedication ceremony.
The Shaperos' gift was acclaimed by Mr. Srere as the largest
Jewish gift on record in Detroit.
Among the guests present at the dedication was Miss Faye
Abdellah, of the U. S. Department of Health, Washington, D. C.,
who, in 1953, made a survey of Michigan's nursing needs.

New tensions arose on the Israel-Jordan border Month
A military spokes-
man reported that six Israelis were killed and their bodie:. ....ragged acros the Jordan
border from Israel.

20 Jordanese soldiers at Hebron.
,Egypt also charged that Israeli troops , killed five Egyptians inside Egyptian
territory.
Egypt Receives 200 MIG Fighters, 50 Bombers
BRUSSELS, (JTA)—Egypt has received from Czechoslovakia 200 MIG fighter
planes, 50 bombers, 200 tanks, two destroyers and six submarines, according to a break-
down of the Egypt-Czech cotton-for-arms deal reported in the newspaper La Libre
Belgique.
The specific listing of arms was included in a dispatch to the newspaper from its
Bonn
correspondent, George Blum. An ironic result of that deal, according to Blum, is the fact that
Czechoslovakia, which is being paid for the arms with Egyptian cotton, is now competing in the
world market against Egypt, by offers to sell -the cotton it received from the Cairo government
at prices lower than those offered by Egypt. He reports also that both East Germany and the
Federal Republic of West Germany now have economic missions in Egypt, each trying to out-
bid the other for Egyptian trade.
World Jewry Urged by Eshkol to Double
Efforts in Behalf of Israel Settlement
Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News
JERUSALEM—World Jewry must double its current efforts in behalf of settlement in Israel,
Levi Eshkol, Israel Finance Minister and head of the Jewish Agency's settlement department on
Tuesday told a meeting of the Zionist Actions' Committee which opened here Monday. Only such
an increased campaign can safeguard the future of 466 settlements set up since the State of
Israel was established, he asserted. Failure to maintain and extend the settlement movement,
Mr. Eshkol warned, meant the risk of losing 500,000,000
pounds already invested in it.
New settlements-22 were established since the World Zionist
Congress met here last April
have provided some of the country's agricultural needs, Mr. Eshkol reported.
He said the c•un-
try would soon be self-sufficient as far as food was concerned. The settlement
chief - spoke of
the phenomenal expansion of "industrial" crops, including peanuts for export; cotton, in which
Israel will shortly be self-sufficient and will thus save $3,000,000 ill foreign currency annually,
and sugar, for which processing - plants have been established so Israel will be able to export
refined rather than raw sugar.
In the debate which followed Mr. Eshkol's report, the Poale Zion delegate, T. Bankover,
urged expansion of the Negev settlement as a means 'of increasing the State's security. He de-
manded increased allocations for the Youth Aliyah movement to enable the movement to main-
tain its wards in collective settlements. Mr. Bankover also asked more money for housing in
Kibbutzim in order to attract settlers from cities.
The Mapam member, S. Rosen,- demanded that _the standard of living be raised for agricul-
tural families as a means of attracting_ more people to the soil, and proposed that more irrigation,
electric power, schools and cultural activities be made available to the settlements. He said the
proposed budget allocation of 75,000,000 pounds for agriculture in the Jewish Agency's budget
is inadequate, and expressed the opinion that concentrating on collective settlements would be
more advantageous for the State - than pushing the - development -of small holderS' cooperatiVe
-settlements.
