U.S. Med Students to Take Training
hi Israel Under Govt. Pilot Program

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire

.

WASHINGTON — United States
medical students now have the op-
portunity to take three months of
their advanced training in Israel.
The Tel Aviv medical school, in
Conjunction with the Tel Hashomer
hospital, has been chosen as the
center of a pilot program spon-
sored by the U. S. Public Health
Service and administered by the
American Association of Medical
Colleges.
Designed to acquaint American
students with foreign medical fa-
Cilities the problems they en-
counter, the program, according to
association co-ordinator, Francis
Cholko, has already awarded fel-
lowships to 20 students represent-
ing medical schools from all sec-
tions of the country. Ten are now
in Israel.
The American agencies in-
volved also hope to initiate the
same kind of "Israel" program
in several more countries. Al-
,' though students have yet to be
scheduled for India and Pakis-
tan, the groundwork has already
been laid for programs in those
countries. The possibilities of
such programs in Yugoslavia,

Northland

Poland, Tunisia and the United
Arab Republic have also been
under consideration.
According to Cholko, the avail-
ability of counterpart funds—local
currency used in payment to the
United States government — gov-
erned the selection of possible
countries where the program could
be instituted. Israel was chosen
from them to head the pilot pro-
gram because the similarity of its
medical problems and facilities to
the U.S. "insured that the program
would begin with ease."
"For the United States, the ben-
efits are plain." Cholko added.
"Top-ranking medical students are
not only able to contribute and put
to use some of their knowledge
but are able to take something
away and, in many cases, are pro-
vided with an opportunity to ob-
serve diseases that they otherwise
could not."

In the Middle Ages
In the Middle Ages the Jews
were commissioned to buy gold
and silver for the mints of various
sovereigns, and occasionally the
mints were leased to them.

Israel to Build Area in Hebron for Orthodox

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

JERUSALEM — The minister of
religious affairs announced Wed-
nesday that a special quarter will
be built in Hebron for a group of
Orthodox Jews who went there last
Passover and announced their in-
tention of remaining. Dr. Zerah
Warhaftig said the plans included
family housing, dormitories for
yeshiva students, a dining hall, cli-
nics and a children's house.
The settlers said they were de-
termined to revive the Jewish corn-
munity in Hebron, which is the
site of the Patriarchs' tombs and
is considered holy by Orthodox
Jews. But no Jews have lived there
since the Arab riots of 1936, and

foreign Arabs entering the West
Bank to visit relatives because the
Israeli stamp might create diffi-
culties when they returned home.
Warhaftig replied," That's the way
it's done everywhere. People don't
come and go like thieves in the
night."
