The American Red Mogen Dovid for Israel will supply two-way radio equipment to equip about, 100 ambulances belonging to Mogen Dovid Adom in Israel, Rep. Emanuel Celler, president of the American organization, announced today.
Nine central control stations will be similarly equipped, Mr. Celler said, thus permitting the ambulance fleet to be used with maximum efficiency and speed.
Cost of the equipment for the vehicles and control stations, estimated at $100,000, will be sought from the American organization’s membership and synagogue and other groups throughout the country.
