on the development of Soviet medical science. (Budapest,
June 20, 1951).

Ma l9l sist of medicine and medical supplies,
enough to equip five field surgical units;
400 hospital beds, complete with bedding;
four ambulances; eight trucks; one kitchen wagon; and three cars,
one especially equipped for disinfection purposes; as Well as
great quantities of cloth, clothing, knitwear, and shoes.
(Peking, NCNA1 May 11, 1951).
ANALYST'S COMMENT:' The following
FBIS item (FBIS, May 16, '510 USSR and EE), confirms the
above item: "60 carloads of Medical supplies for several
field hospitals, surgical instruments, 400 fully-equipped
hospital beds, 4 ambulance cars, a new truck, knitwear, and
shoes left Sofia for Korea. These gifts have been collected
by the Bulgarian people in response to the recent appeal of
the National Council of the Bulgarian Fatherland Front to
aid and support the just struggle of the heroic Korean people."
(Budapest, May 14, 1951).
Poland Sends Gifts of Medical Suppliee to Korea.
FBIS, FAR EAST According to a KCP report, 82 car_
No. 98 loads of relief supplies recently
14 May l91 arrived from Poland as gifts from
the Polish people who are launching
a broad campaign to continue to ex-
tend material and moral support to Koreans. The relief -
supplies include 65 -Carloads of 'Clothing and other goods,
including medical supplies. (Pyongyang, May 13, 1951).
ANALYST'S COMMENT: See FBIS
reports of May 14 and May 16 re "gifts" of medical supplies
from Bulgaria to Korea* There appears to be a central
"impelling force" behind these "gifts" in view of the nam7
reports of extreme shortages of medical supplies equip-
ment in Korea among Korean and CCF medical units.
