Week, official organ of the New York

issue of this publication adopted the
line (partially) of the Peoples Com

very strongly. The New York News
also makes the vicious attack upon
the New York Medical County So

trouble maker" Another speaker at
the meeting will be Lionel Francis,
representative of the Universal Negro

The Peoples Committee Against
Discrimination in Harlem Hospital,
in a special statement issued today,
points out the following: 1.-THE
People Of Harlem will not be stamp
eded by the charge Of Communism
raised whenever Negro and white
workers unite against discrimination
Even the New York News is forced to
admit that Commissioner Greeff has
already approved of the Whitewash
committee of the N-A.ACP. The
Peoples Committee calls upon all
honest and sincere Negro people and
white workers to join the real fight
for an end to the butchery and dis
elimination in the Harlem Hospital

PROFESSIONAL pSOple III F1aIlSlIl'
DR.. Sidat Singh, president of the
North Harlem Medical Society, one
of the organizations whose members
are waging bitter fight against the
Tammany dictators of the hospital,
has been singled out by the N.AA.C.
P. as the butt of the campaign be-
ing waged against the foreign born
to save the faces of the misleaders,
The New York News, Negro paper
of Harlem, controlled by the mis-
leader of the Negro people, Rev. M.
j. Devine and edited by George w.
Harris, a close associate of the hos
pital head DR.. Wright, follows the
instructions of the N.AA.CP. and
makes a vicious anti-foreign born
attack on the Negro people and par
ticularly on Dr. Singh.
Real Boss Fashion
The News, with front page head
line, Smash Red Doctor Hospital
Plot" then proceeds in real white
boss fashioi: to raise the race CUES
ton. Frequently using such phrases
about DR.. Singh as "Hindoo president
of the Colored doctors society" and
NEEDLES Hindoo President Unmasked
as Force which Led Society into
Communism" the paper tries to
spread the lie that the doctors are
Communists. The News and the
powers" behind it do their utmost
to split the ranks of the Harlem
people into native" and foreign
born" in order to hamstring the fight
against the hospital discriminators
the white DR., Conner and the Negro
DR. Wright.
The paper gleeful1y quotes from
the Negro hating New York Daily
News the lie that the delegation of
Negro and white workers which call
ed on Hospital Commissioner Greeff
Feb. 9, Demanded Harlem Colored
People Direct the Hospital" The
delegation demands that the people
of Harlem, those whose lives were at
stake in the hospital, Negro and
white, the majority Negro, control
the hospital
Those most bitter against the News
and N.A.ACP. leaders attack on the
foreign born Negroes are the West
Indian nurses, doctors and workers
of the city.
DIR. Wright has been reported as
telling his friends that if it had
not been for DR.. Charles A. Petione
and DR.. Singh and other doctors of
the North Harlem Medical Associa-
ton, the Peoples Committee Against
Discrimination in Harlem Hospital
would not have succeeded in arousing
such wide anger against the Tam
many medical regime in Harlem.
While the Peoples Committee goes
ahead with its fight, Mr.. Haywood
Broun, lackey of the white bosses of
the New York Telegram, also tries
to save the now much despatched
face Of the N.AACP. and is an
nounced as the leading speaker at
the Abyssian Baptist Church, 1872 w.
18Th St., tonight. Broun, who now
tries to pass off his statement in
New York Telegram column that he
was opposed to the anti-jim crow
amendments to the constitution as
a jest, is all set to sell out any real
investigation. Broun is still mem
Der of the N.A.AC.P. whitewash
committee and is merely partially on
the outside to lend helping hand to
those on the committee. He wants
to turn off the glazing searchlight
