Of the select We draft, made the public
statement that records in his office
showed that Of the 400 1000 eligible
Negro soldiers, their health rating,
relatively speaking. was higher than
that Of the whites.
The survey revealed clearly that the
ferocity Of the white plaques" at
tack on the city's colored population is
due mot so much as to the inherited
racial tendencies" as to inadequate
housing.
Summarizing its 142-page report.
the survey committee states that "the
control of tuberculosis among the Ne
groes of Pittsburgh depends upon the
provision of adequate facilities for
active cases and for the prevention
Of the spread of the Infection"
To accomplish this, it recommends
that the city health department es-
tablish a separate bureau of tubercu-
losis control, operating six clinics in
the city; maintain a bureau Of public
health nursing to supervise and carry
out the entire nursing program. and
enlarge the capacity of Leech Farm by
200 beds, to be apportioned among
colored persons in the ratio of colored
deaths from tuberculosis.

landowners then decided to get
