The experiment on Miss Ellin is the
second in which X-Rays have figured
within the last few hours. Yester.
day 1t became known that the rays
had been used to wither the thymus
gland which was choking three day
old baby. The X-Ray was en-
poyed after artificial respiration
could do no more.
Miss Ellin came to this country
from Russia 1 years ago. She walk
ed into Bellevue on June 6 and asked
for an X-ray examination. The ex-
animation revealed the fact that she
had been attacked by cancer. The
machine used in the operation is
known as the Walter.
DIR. James Ewing. cancer specialist
of Cornell university and the Memorial
hospital when told of the experiment
said that Judging from his own ex-
perience. he would predict that any
patient kept under such terrific ~ol-
tage for so long a period would s1lf-
fer the effects for the rest of life.
The X-ray of 25n,000 for 56 hours
would certainly kill the cancers" he
said. but in my opinion il would also
greatly harm the healthy cells. OF
course ] can give no definite opinion |
without seeing the patient but I ima-
CINE she will be injured for life"

The Urban League plans to hold
its Annual Conference in Kansas City,
Mo-, October 10th to 10Th at which
time problems of Health, Housing and
Industry in connection with the migra-
ton Of Negroes to the North will be
discussed.
The Leagues Director of Research

son-who is also Editor OF "Oppor-
tunity" made comparative report Of
the findings in the surveys made in
Hartford. Connecticut; Baltimore.
Maryland; Flushing, L. l., and Mil
waukee, Wis.
The League decided to award four
fellowships of approximately 5000
each for the next school year of the
New York School Of Social Work and
the Carnegie Institute of Technology.
A resolution was passed on the re-
cent death of DR.. William H. Brooks
who was one of the founders of each
of the three organizations which
merged in 1911 to form the National
Urban League. The resolution reads
as follows:
"Dr. William III. Brooks was one Of
the founders Of the National Urban
League just as he had been Of each Of
the three organizations which subse-
quently were merged to form the Ma
tional Urban League. His wise coun-
sci and sympathetic understanding
were important factors in moulding
the policy Of the League and in de-
veloping a finer and more efficient
spirit of cooperation between the
races.
In his death, the League and the
cause it espouses have lost a true and
staunch friend. His spirit and the
good effects Of the work he did will
never die, however, and it is therefore
with great appreciation of his work
that we record in our Minutes our
deep sense Of gratitude at having had
the good fortune to be associated with
such a soul"
