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.

A day later, Jordan charged that Israeli troops invaded its territory and killed 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.
