Faced with Economic Crisis, Israel Marks Fifth Birthday By JANE HOWARD Waging a grim, back-to-the-wall struggle for economic survival and still in the grip of an Israeli-Arab cold war, the tiny state of Israel will observe its fifth anniversary tomorrow. Although the tiny nation officially gained sovereignty on May 14, 1948 through an act of the United Nations, the birthday will be celebrated tomorrow in accordance with the Jewish calendar, and today here on campus. * * * * ISRAEL'S INITIAL challenge as a nation was to withstand the invasion of neighboring Arab states who claimed part of the territory. Armistices with each of the states followed. However, Prof. N. Marbury Efi-? menco of the political science de- per cent are Arabs. There are also er cent are Arabs. Therenare also partment indicated that thes problems have not ended. "There is still no prospect for peace between Israel and the Arabs," he said. "Largely anti- Israeli opinions in Egypt and Syria leave little hope for any- thing bMt continued cold war for some time." Soon after the Arab armistices were completed Israel tackled the next problem-that of lifting Brit- ish immigration restrictions. Knis- set, the country's 120-member leg- islature, proclaimed that Israel should be open to any Jew who wished to enter. THE WORLD'S displaced Jewry responded to the open immigra- tion. Joel Arnon, Israeli govern- ment transportation head who is studying here on a UN scholar- ship, reported that the nation's population of one and a half mil- lion includes 700,000 who have poured into Israel during the last five years. Sixty per cent repre- sent displayed European Jews who survived the World War and forty DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) Full chorus "Pinafore" 9 until 11 (Late permission for women.)

The Episcopal Student Foundation eseveral flourishing American Jew- ish settlements, Arnon said. About the same size as Rhode Island, Israel has had no easy time accommodating her newly trebled populace. Recent efforts to unite and consolidate the peo- ple have taken the form of wide- spread adult education pro- grams, teaching the Hebrew language . (until recently spoken only in prayers) and compulsory free education for all children. "Kibbutzem," collective farms where all immigrants join in a program of manual labor to de- velop resources, .are Israel's eco- nomic solution to population ex- cess. Everything available is shared, although the economic problem has been increased by recent devaluations of Israeli money. * * * PRIME MINISTER Ben-Gur- ion's government hopes for a stab- ilized budget and relief from its strict austerity program by 1957. Arnon cited the "invaluable help of the United States gov- ernment and American Jewry," which together have given Israel advantages of the Point Four program and millions of dollars, in helping the state to establish itself. Another source of income lies in Germany's agreement to reim- burse Israel for Jewish lives and property lost in World War II with $1,500,000,000. There is also a possibility of an oil discovery in southern Israel. Marine Corps Openings Cited By attending two summer school training programs of the Platoon Leader Class at Quantico, Vir- ginia, University students may qualify for a commission in the Marine Corps. Explaining the program, Major G. C. Williams, Marine NROTC instructor said, "Sixteen schools are open to newly commissioned Marine Corps officers who grad- uate from the Platoon Leaders Class and Officer Candidate Course programs." * * * AMONG the courses are flight training, photographic interpre- tation, naval gunfire spotting, ar- mored motor, supply, communica- tions and engineering. Major Williams explained that the Marine Corps is a highly trained technical force. Con- sequently, although officers are commissioned as general duty officers, they must also be train- ed to carry out specialized duties. College background, the needs of the Corps, and the officer's pre- ference determine assignment to the various schools. College seniors and graduates who are interested in qualifying as officers in the Marine Corps may apply now for enrollment in this summer's Officer Candidate Course to be given at Quantico, Virginia.

'U' Doctors Attend Health Conference Three University physicians are representing the University's In- stitute of Industrial Health at the 1953 Industrial Health Conference which opened yesterday in Los Angeles and will continue through Saturday. Dr. Clarence D. Selby, Dr. O. T. Mallery, Jr., and Dr. Carey P. Mc- Cord will attend the conference which is sponsored by a number of organizations including the American Industrial Hygiene As- sociation and the Industrial Medi- cal Association. * * * UtilitytKeynotes Plan of Building "A masterpiece for the study, treatment, and prevention of hu- man suffering." That, according to Adrian N. Languis, Director of the State Building Division, is the Univer- sity Hospital Outpatient Clinic. The new $3,726,800 structure built with state appropriated funds houses the 24 clinics formerly scattered throughout odd corners of the University Hospital. A seven-story addition to the Hos- pital building, the Out Patient Clinic is now capable of serving three times the 250,000 annual patient capacity of the old Clinic. With all payments levied ac- cording to the patient's ability to pay, the institution is com- pletely self-supporting and has as its purpose community ser- vice and the promotion of the general good health, THE 'U' HOSPITAL OUTPATIENT CLINIC AS SEEN FROM THE OUTSIDE . The new $3,7000,000 addition to the hospital is one step in plans for expansion. PLEASANT ATMOSPHERE: tionists always on hand to re- cord essential facts and statis- tics explained that "the infor- mation ideally is processed and sent to the reception desk of the Clinic to which the patient has been assigned-before he gets there. We don't always make it, but the wait now is shorter than ever before. Patients waiting to see their physicians are supplied with an abundance of current reading material which they can read in surroundings that have been con- sciously made as pleasant as pos- sible. Tropical fish of varieties rang- ing from the common goldfish to unusual specimans such as the Siamese fighting fish highlight some of the waiting rooms, while in othershthere are artistically arranged tropical plants. CHILDREN have. been shown special consideration in the plan- ning of their waiting arrange- ments. In Pediatrics clinic wait- ing rooms they play with a variety of toys, from building blocks to hobby-horses that have been painted bright red. Every effort is made to keep the youngsters amused while waiting to see their physicians. One harassed parent of three young patients pointed out that "it's really a relief to come see the doctor. With all this stuff to amuse the children they don't fuss at all." Diabetics and patients with other dietary difficulties receive instruction in the Endocrinology and Metabolism clinic which help them plan meals suited .to their needs. Wax models of foods that look "more real than some dorm food" help to drive these lessons home. * * * PATIENTS are hardly aware of some innovations which have met with considerable staff approval. One is the check-in board ar- rangement that "lets us know at a glance who's in and who's not." A large part of the Clinic staff is composed of citizens of many nations who are complet- ing their training here before returning home. Taking the attitude that "we are as good as the UN, and we get along better with each other," staff members consider their work in the Clinic almost as interna- tional education. Working in close contact with the University Hospital, many of the Clinic's staff are connected with both institutions. A part of the long range plan for the ex- pansion of the University Medical Center as a whole, this interrela- tion is the first step in the devel- opment of a completely unified medical unit at the University. x 1, 4 Outpatient Clinic S 4 # # c .J4 * * * 4" PRECISION INSTRUMENTS ARE STOCK EQUIPMENT EMERGENCY CASES ARE TREATED 24 HOURS DAILY Many corrective devices such as eyeglasses are dispensed in the clinic Patients can be rushed to this clinic in a matter of seconds.
