Doctors About
Their FraiIties
Says They Fall
Victims of Routine
And Get Careless
By SUE BARNETT

-(ANP)-One of the
highlights of the 18th annual meet
ing of the National Hospital AsSo-
citation converting in Chicago, Au
gust II to 10, was the address
made by DR.. Howard Thurman,
Dean of Andrew Rankin Chapel of
Howard university.
DR.. Thurman, who is well known
as a brilliant as we'll as interest
ing speaker, chose an unusual topic,
1.-THE Three Illusions of Profess
Sionalism." In a somewhat satirical
manner, he discussed the illusions
OF routine, omnipotence, and the il
fusion that life will make excep.
tons for professional men.
In citing an example of the first
Illusion, he chose the profession of
the ministry, pointing out that
because ministers perform so many
marriage ceremonies, for example,
they are apt to become mere rou-
tine to them and they fail to in
Ject the personal touch that is nee
essary and peculiar to each case.
Ih1S is the illusion of routine in
professionalism
DR.. Thurman further pointed out
that because of their proficiency,
there is a danger Of professional
men acquiring the Great God I
Am" attitude and feeling that they
are in a class to themselves. This
also causes them to lose the sense
of graciousness which is expected.
DR.. Thurman then pointed out that
it is difficult at times for ministers
to be true christians because they
are professionals and are so fire.
quently required to pray and preach
at certain times rather than when
they are inspired This is the illu-
sion of omnipotence.
The third illusion is the feeling.
on the part of professionals, that
life will make exceptions. There
is a danger" stated DR.. Thurman,
"of professional men feeling that
things which happen to the garden
variety of men just can't happen
to them" A satirical example of
this was the feeling of some doctor

Non-Discrin1ination OF
WPA Workers ReafIirned

WASHINGTON - (ANP)-In an
instructive letter to state WPA ad-
ministrators throughout the coun-
ry, Howard O. Hunter. commissioner
of work projects, called attention
to Seca "a Of the FERA act for
fiscal year ending June 80, 1912.
which makes discrimination against
workers unlawful and punishable
by fine or imprisonment.
Said Hunter, ut is imperative
that in the selection and referral
of workers for training and en-
ployment under this program the
WPA maintain its established pol
icy of discrimination against
workers because of race, creed,
color, or national origin" Order
ing that his warning of discrimi-
nation against WPA workers be
promptly brought to the attention
Of all administrative and super
visory employees of the WPA the
country over, he referred to the
executive order issued by the
President on June IS to institute
safeguards against discrimination.
According to Federal WPA Staff
Adviser Alfred Edgar Smith, these
safeguards have been in effect
since February 1884. Mr.. Smith, at
that time, was assistant to For

cent.
The student who had previously

In telephone conversation be-

Of the institute, Banks stated that
a mutual agreement between the
