"Many employers and house,
wives have taken advantage of
the educational campaign to re-
lieve Americans of this disease,
to exercise heir prejudice against
Negroes" the statement said.
They have thereby thrown thou
sands of Negroes out of work.
False claims an plain ignoranee
on the part of otherwise intelli-
gent citizens plus the prejudics
of many sresearch scholars in the
field of medicine, has forced
nany Negroes, who comprise the
largest percentage of workers in
the domestic field, to submit to
compulsory syphilis treatments.
"A great deal of this distorted
handling of the program OF
syphilis eradication in this coun-
try has been aimed at these citi-
ems purely on the false assumP-
ton that Negroes are more sus-
ceptible to syphilis ahan whites.
"Dr. Moore's clarifying state
ment before the New England
Post Graduate Assembly of Har-
yard, should do a great deal to
stimulate an honest and intelli-
gent campaign against the spread
of this disease, which certainly
IS not a respecter of any race,

EVERY CASE OF
TUBERCULOSIS COMES
FROM ANOTHER CASE

A nationwide survey by DR..
George Gallup, director of the
American Institute of Public
Opinion, has just been made for
the tuberculosis associations to
determine no wmuch the public
knows about the cause ana cure
of tuberculosis, a scourge which
kills moro than $4,000 people in
the United States every year.
Results show that the modern
educational campaign against tu-
berculosis has removed much of
the old ignorance and fear of the
White Plague. While many per-
sons still apparently do not
know that it is caused by a bacil-
lus or that it is a contagious dis
ease, nevertheless the great ma
jority think it durable and name
the type of treatment which most
doctors consider correct, plenty
of rest and nourishing food.
The first question asked was,
'What is the cause of tubercu-
losis?" Answers reveal that the
fact that tuberculosis is caused
specifically by a bacillus is not
widely understood. Many more
persons named the ~so-ealled al
lies" of tuberculosis bacillus, un-
dernourishment, rundown coEdl-
ton, poor living conditions, han
named the bacillus itself as Jhe
cause.
Although the tuberculosis cam.
paign stresses the slogan, Every
Case of tuberculosis Comes from
Another Case" "a percent of the
general public still does not think
tuberculosis is catching.
The public is apparently ron
fused on the subject Of whether
or not the disease is inherited, al
though the medical profession
claims the diseas5 is not Inherit
ed but is communicable. Fifty
two per cent of the voters in the
survey say they think it is in
herited, while 48 per cent think
it is not.
Fear of tuberculosis as a fatal
or uncurable disease has appar-
emily been removed to a large ex-
tent from the public mind, for
sc per cent of the perrons ques-
iioned in the survey said they
think tuberculosis is durable.
Various campaigns to educate
the public in the proper treat
ment of tuberculosis nave APP
parently made great progress,
judging by the answers to the
final question in the survey,
"What do you think is the best
way to cure tuberculosis 2" The
public names the methods OF
treatment in the same order
that they have been stressed in
posters and lampaign literature.
