A war office spokesman declared that "we are taking out all equipment and every British soldier." He added that "if the Egyptians discover that they need radar equipment and if they apply to us for it, that will be con- sidered." At the air ministry, a spokesman stated that the air bases too would be stripped of such devices. He said the secret early warning system would not be left to be op- erated by the Egyptians. * _ 1 A a A. _ i _A Associates a .i. A Portion of Proposed Shapero School of Nursing, Designedby Albert Kahn A gift of approximately $500,000 to Sinai Hospital, Detroit, by the Cunningham Drug Company Foundation and the Nate S. and Ruth B. Shapero Foundation to be used for the establishment of a new school of nursing was announced Tuesday. The gift will enable the Hospital to graduate 48 trained practical nurses each and addition furnish facilities for research and experimentation in the field of general year nursing problems, according to Mr. Shapero who heads both philanthropic groups. in Offer of the fund came as a surprise to the board of trustees, of Sinai Hospital. Under terms of the offer, the two Foundations will underwrite construction of the nursing school in its entirety and finance its anticipated operating deficits on a diminishing sliding scale over a period of five years. The decision to finance the establishment of a new nursing home was made as a result of a 1954 survey of nursing needs in Michigan made under the joint auspices of the Cunningham Drug Company Foundation and the U. S. Public Health Service. This published study "For Better Nursing in Michigan" disclosed the existe nce of a shortage of over 5,000 nursing personnel. The Shapero School of Nursing will be devoted to training of practical nurses. In the future, depending on results of research and the changing needs of the community, the school may turn to training of other types of nursing personnel as needed. The 212-bed Sinai Hospital, constructed in 1952 as one of the new hospitals created with funds from the Greater Detroit Hospital Fund, is located at 6767 W. Outer Drive. The nursing school will be located west of the hospital and adjoining it. Max Osnos, president of the board of trustees of Sinai Hospital, expressed the board's thanks to the Shaperos. Dr. Julian Priver is director of the hospital. When Sinai Hospital was constructed, Mr. Shapero was chairman of the hospital's building committee. * * Arabs Defy U. S. Warning on Refugees UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. ---.-Completely ignoring a warning by James J. Wadsworth, American delegate to the United Nations, that the United States would only con- tinue to support the UN relief program for Arab refugees if Arab states themselves did something constructively to help the .refugees, Ahmed Shukairi, head of the Syrian delegation to the UN, launched a bitter attack on Israel Monday for refusing to readmit the Palestine Arabs. Speaking in the General Assembly's special political committee during debate on next year's budget for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Arab Refugees, Mr. Shu- kairi, assistant secretary of the bitterly anti-Israel Arab League and himself a former resident of Acre, Israel, re- jected all solutions of Arab refugee problems other than re- patriation. He declared "repatriation is the crux of the item we are discussing. It is the problem in its very es- sence. The idea of relief is an emergency measure pend.. ing repatriation. Relief is extended not to extend expatria- tion, but to keep body and soul together until repatria- tion." Mr. Wadsworth's warning came last Friday, just after debate on the budget began. He told the committee that the United States would favor extension of the UN pro. gram for the refugees, for a further five years, only if the Arab "host" governments show a willingness to help the refugees achieve a permanent solution to their problem.

Members of the delegation included 'tying M. Engel, AJC president; Jacob Blaustein, AJC honorary president and Dr. John Slawson, executive vice-president.
