(CP)
The
Rockefeller
Foundation,
working
with
schools
In
Canada
and
the
United
States,
Ls
planning
to
bring
young
British
medical
students
to
Canada
and
the
United
States
to
complete
their
education.
Raymond
Fosdlck,
president
of
the
foundation,
said
the
program
to
help
the
British
students
was
first
proposed
by
the
late
Lord
Lothian,
British
ambassador
to
the
United
States,
who
made
a
direct
appeal
to
the
foundation.
"While
medical
students
In
England
are
not
subject
to
dratt,"
Mr.
Fosdick
said,
"air
raids
in

Nail

Be-
and
elsewhere
throughout
Great

have
imposed
excessive
de
mands
on
all

and

Lord
Lothian's
suggestion
was
warmly
supported
by
leading
British
medical
authorities
and
as
a
result
the
loundation
jiias
appropriated
$100,000
to
inltl-

many

4ate
the
plan.
"Twenty-five
lcadting
medical

in

and
the

have
indicated
their
cordial
willingness
to
accept
these
new
students."
An
official
of
the
foundation
now
is
in
England
working
out
details
of
the
plan.
The
fiist
group
of
students
are

to

RAID
WAS
HEAVIEST
IN
LONDON
British
Metropolis
Receives
Its
Worst
Strafing
so
Far
hi
War
Last
Night
Invasion
Near?
LONDON,
April
1G:
(CP)
Serious
talk
that
a
German
invasion
attempt
may
be
imminent
gained
increasing
attention
tonight
as
a
result
of
last
night's
heavy
raid
on
London.
The
Evening
Standard
said
"the
new
assault
may
be
a
prelude
to
an
attempted
invasion"
and
warned
the
nation
to
prepare.
LONDON,
April
17
London
had
its
heaviest
air
raid
of
the
war
last
night.
In
greater
numbers
than
ever
before,
squadron
after
squadron
of
Nazi
bombers,
starting
to
come
over
early
in
the
evening,
flew
low
under
the
barrage
balloons
and
dropped
cargoes
of
incendiaries
and
high
explosives
in
almost
every
part
of
the
city.
Stuka
dive
bombers
were
used
for
the
first
time
in
raids
on
Britain.
There
was
terrific
anti-aircraft
barrage
and
many
fighter
planes
went
aloft.
At
least
eight
of
the
raiders
were
brought
down.
11
was
the
first
raid
of
any
consequence
London
had
had
in
a
month.
It
started
about
9:30
p.m.
and
laster
eight
hours
until
5:30
a.m.
with
practically
no
respite
during
about
eight
hours.
London
bore
the
full
fury
of
the
Luftwaffe
last
night,
there
being
no
heavy
attacks
anywhere
else
in
the
country.
Among
other
points
great
fires
raged
in
the
London
dock
areas.
Both
National
and
Columbia
Broadcasting
Co's
lost
their
offices
but
the
staff
was
safe.
Canadian
Press
service
Was
also
disrupted.
'
Damage
and
casualties
were
extremely
heavy.
Great
palls
of
smoke
hung
over
the
metropolis
today
as
'fire
fighters,
demolition
workers
and
rescue
squads
continued
work
amid
the
debris.
SOME
DETAILS
Crowded
morgues,
packed
hospitals
and
blackened
buildings
throughout
many
blocks
of
devastated
areas
of
London
testified
today
to
the
raid
the
German
Luftwaffe
unleashed
on
the
British
metropolis.
It
was
wrought
last
week
on
the.
"historical
and
cultural
centre"
of
Berlin.
Eight
I-ondou
hospitals
were
hit,
a
large
women's
ward
in
one
being
wrecked.
Other
buildings
wrecked
Included
a
theatre,
two
moving
picture
houses
and
a
west
end
apartment.
Traffic
facilities
were
disrupted
today
and
thousands
of
Londoners
had
to
walk
to
work.
Streets
were
lorn
up
with
huge
craters
in
many
places.
Business
and
residential
districts
suffered
alike.
Some
Canadian
soldiers
were
killed
and
injured,
one
losing
his
life
in
the
city
and
others
In
(he
outskirts.
Their
identity
has
not
been
revealed
pending
their
next
of
kin
being
advised.

adviser,
and
