which medical students from
other lands. under AIMS financ-
ing, come here. On the average,
he said, these students are better
than American medical students.

better trained than Americans,
because they do not have the ad-
vantage of post graduate schools
such as exist here.

women be sent to this country in

ton of aid given Israel by the
exchange of students and sending
books. periodicals and other things
to that country.

A Red bullet pierced his left
thigh, and Sergt. White pitched
off the truck onto the road. The
convoy couldn't stop. he explained,
because there was too much shoot

get under cover.
When the convoy passed and
the firing stopped, two Chinese
soldiers came down to strip his
body of ammunition and cloth
ing, Sergt. White said. His wound
ached. but he played dead.
The Chinese took his ammuni-

The most unusual female

Shapiro, rifle coach of Lincoln
High School, Brooklyn, New
York.
Her entrance to the rifle field
was accidental. When asked to
take over for an absent coach at
Lincoln, Mrs. Shapiro didn't
know one end of a rifle from the
other. She learned fast and due
to her previous athletic record,
she quickly developed a lively
interest in this, her adopted
sport. While at Girls High
School, she won the Wingate A
ward for outstanding athletic a.
bility. At the age of fourteen,
she was a member Of the skating
club of the Brooklyn Ice Palace
and the relay team of the Wom-
ems Swimming Association.
During her years at City Col

basketball and swimming teams,
