the local branch is doing what
it can to answer their queries.
The Americans are also doing
Ia lot of questioning.
DR.. Miterev said all he is in
terested in buying is souvenirs
for his children and grand
children.
Mr.. Bunker announced that
political questions" we're out.
The conference, therefore. shed
no light on the mystery of DR..
Miterev's whereabouts between
February 30, 1947. when Stain
dismissed him abruptly from his
post as Soviet Commissar of
Public Health, and early last
year when his star rose again.
Differences Pointed Out
OF the Russian Red Cross he
said:
1t differs from the American
Red Cross in that the alliance
trains all nurses in the Soviet
Union. And it does not have
Ia serviceman-family communi-
cation system or a disaster re-
lief setup.
The organizations are alike
lin that both have peace as
their main detectives" and
both are humanitarian"
At the end Of the conference
the delegation returned to a day
of visiting National Red Cross
and District Red Cross head
quarters.
Today they were to visit the
Institute of Public Health and
Bethesda Naval Hospital.
