DOCTORS PARLEY BACKS
HEALTH AID


New York, August, (CNA)-lhe
National Medical Association, repre-
senting 5000 Negro physicians, was on !
record this week in favor OF compuls-
ory health insurance as proposed in the
Wagner health bill.
But the physicians want assurance
that they will be allowed equal partici-
patton in the program, said Dr. George
w. Bowles, president at the forty-fitttl
annual convention at Public School 68,
127th Street and Lenox avenue, this
city
In this demand, the convention was
heartily backed by New York City 5
Mayor LaGuardia, who scored jim
crowism and demanded equal oppor-
tunity for Negro physicians in a stir
ring welcome address to the conyen-
ton.
Negro doctors, said LaGuardia,
SHOULD have equal opportunity with
white doctors to serve their internships
lin any hospital in the land.
Because" he added, "a microbeI
does not recognize any jimcrow law
Scheduled in the program to make a
few remarks Of welcome" Mayor La
Guardia, in his brief talk drew constant
and dfeafening applause for his defense
Of better living conditions for the Ne
gro people as a means Of improving
conditions of health.
Delegates charged that they are
HAIRED from county medical societies
4 in the South, and that they are thus
barred automatically from membership
in the American Medical Association
this, although they have had the same
education and passed the same e,2am-
linations as their white colleagues.
Sharp opposition developed in the
J, convention to the assumption Of Office
i BY DIR. Leonidas Leach of Flint, Mich,
president-elect of the organization. The
demand for his removal was brought
s by a minority of the executive board
( the MIA after DIR. Oin West OF
/ the American Medical Association
charged that Leach had pleaded gull
ty in 1923 to violation of the Eighteen
!. th Amendment.
! Following bitter five-hour debate,
! DR. Leach was vindicated by conven-
! ton delegates.

push JUST A LITTLE BIT"

Congressnen, in their rush to adj
journ, reserved enough time to arrange
for an expedition to the antartic zone
under the leadership of the famous Ad-
,niral Byrd. We remember the recent
journeys of the intrepid explorer and
the hardships endured by him. The
scientists view this move with much
interest eagerly awaiting an opportun-
ity to make various tests determining
the suitability of this newly acquired
territory for habitation and resources.
Years hence pioneers will grapple with
the adverse weather conditions and es-
tablish another American outpost
How many of our group would be
willing to cast their lot with such a
group and grow up substantial and
integral part of the venture? How
many of our group are usually willing
to assist materially in a new venture
or begin on small scale with not
much profit and no glory?
Not many years ago a prominent
member of our group visited the presi-
dent of local corporation to obtain
employment for "his people" The
time honored mallet of persuasion was
used, our patronage. The executive
listened calmly and patiently to the
end and after few minutes conten-
plation informed the gentleman that

Germ when capital was needed, attempts

Principal Accused
Of MansIaughter
In Death of Bow

CLARION, Pa, April 4. CUP)-
A 37-year-old grammar school
supervising principal was held un-
der $4,000 bond today on charges
of aggravated assault and battery
and voluntary and involuntary
manslaughter in connection with
the death of pupil he is accused
of whipping.
The charges were filed against
the teacher, Harrison A. Hartman,
supervising principal at Sligo
school by Homer Wiser, Cherry
Run coal miner and father of Ro-
bert Wiser, 10, whom Hartman is
accused of beating with a floor
ing board.
The accused teacher posted bond
before Justice of the Peace James
j. Amer, who set April IA as date
for a hearing.
The alleged beating of young
Wiser and two other boys occur
red last March II when the three
were acuSed of throwing jelly
beans at the schoolteacher. Wiser
fifth grade pupil, died March
% in an ambulance while enroute
TO a Pittsburgh hospital.

both jobs were held in private in
dustry.
O'Day'S measure was seen as a
direct blow, if enacted, at husbands
and wives holding high admins
trative jobs within the state relief
administration or the SRA and
WPA.
These family combinations were
denounced in an assembly reSolu-
ton introduced last week by As
semblyman Lee Bashore, r., Glen
dora, asking an investigation of
nepotism in federal and state re-
lief agencies. Bashore said he will
act Thursday TO have the resolu-
ton Withdrawn from the rules COM
mittee and sent to the floor.
Gov. Culbert l.. Olson and State
Relief Administrator H. Dewey An
derSon interviewed a steady stream
of Democratic legislators before
the governor issued a statement
last night attacking "reactionary>'
forces for criticizing employment
of relief personnel through red
batting" methods.
The governor declared most of
the personnel abuses were carried
over from the past administration
and that he was investigating such
instances "as 1 do not believe that
in the relief service more than one
of family should be in the service
on a basis of pay adequate for
family maintenance"
Commenting publicly about the
proposed transient bureau for
young men and women, Olson said
no SRA funds would be used, that
county and private agency work
merely was being centralized, and
use of federal money was approved
in an effort to keep young boys
and girls off the streets.
There was some doubt that a
five-man committee named by AS
sembly Democrats to probe the
relief setup would make a public
report. The inquiry demand grew
out OF caucus last week in which
party members assertedly told Oh
son and Anderson that certain re-
lief heads should be dismissed.
