The third consignment of gifts for the Red Army collected by the Palestine Victory League for Soviet Russia is ready for shipment and will be sent to Russia shortly, it was announced here today. The consignment consists of three field operating units fully equipped with surgical instruments and medicaments. The total cost is over forty thousand dollars.
The mobile operating theaters were built on lines suggested by British military experts who were invited to examine the plans and methods of construction. Each theater is contained in a trailer and has two operating tables, a steel stretcher, dynamo, projectors, sterilizing equipment and a water-heating apparatus. A tent which can be attached to the trailer provides reserve accommodation for nurses. The trailer with its wings covers an area of 70 square feet.
