Jockey Club Gives $1,800,000 For

MEDICAL DEPT TO PUT UP MULTI-STOREY BUILDING
The Hongkong Medical Department is to build a new multi-storey general out-patients' clinic at Sai Ying Pun with the gift of $1,800,000 donated by the Hongkong Jockey Club, a spokesman for the Department told the China
talks with British Eisenhower Mail yesterday.
M. Pierre Mendes-France, new French Prime Minister, hopes to hold Government leaders before Sir Winston Churchill leaves for Washington.
The Prime Minister, who is still in the process of forming his government, is expected to go to the Geneva conference on the Far East after presenting his cabinet to the National Assembly on Tuesday.
This will leave him time to hold talks with British officials and his aides were asking whether Sir Winston Churchill's meeting with President Eisenhower next weekend should not be postponed.
They pointed out that the Washington meeting was called on the assumption that the Geneva talks had come to an abrupt end and this has not proved the

The clinic will be the biggest of its kind in the Colony and will serve the most congested area in Hong- kong in the Western
of Queen's Road. It is expected the clinic will attend to about 8,000 people a week or twice the number handled by the present single-
