Two Faculty Members Injured in Nazi Raid

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

German bombs gave two Faculty members their first taste of modern warfare recently when John E. Gordon, Charles Wilder Professor of Preventive Medicine, and Paul V. Beeson, in charge of the University Public Health Unit, received minor injuries in a London air raid.

Gordon was in his apartment at the time of the raid and received a tremendous shake-up. Furniture was over-turned, window glass showered the room, and the apartment door was blown into the hall.

Both doctors were reported in a favorable condition and are expected to resume their work within one or two days.
