The newspaper recommended that
these diplomats, who had openly

keep away from the Soviet Con-

Negroes Gain
In Job Fight

DR.. Goldwater, Commissioner of
City hospitals, was reported yester-
day to have committed himself to
the appointment of some Negro
physicians and hospital workers to
the staff of the new Queens General
Hospital.
The commitment is said to have
been made to Borough President
Harvey of Queens, who was visited
Monday by a delegation of nine
from the Queens Committee for
Equal Opportunities. The delega-
ton demanded that Harvey state
his position on the widespread dis
elimination against Negro doctors
and medical workers in appoint
ments to city hospitals. Harvey,

Negro and white delegates with
demagogic st a. t m ents of his
friendship for the Negro people
