first time in the history OF the as
sociation that a Negro physician had
appeared on program.
A pioneer in the use of the gas
troscope, DR.. Berry is also the first
to use that instrument on chronic
alcoholics and thus debunk the
popular belief that alcohol ruins
the stomach lining, liver and diges~
tive system. Medical authorities had
also been divided on the issue.
Of the 100 alcoholics studied, IS
we're white, "a were colored and one
was a Mexican None had any liver
trouble. Only 16 complained of di-
gestiVe distress, and only 35 had
some signs of chronic inflammation
of the stomach lining. The Stomachs
of the others were similar to those
of normal persons examined by DR..
Perry.
His report, entitled "Evaluation of
the Concept Chronic Alcoholic Gas
tritis with Gastroscopic Studies of
100 Cases." was discussed by the ma
tion's leading specialists in that
field and his research was highly
praised. DR.. Berry has made more
than 100 examinations with the
flexible gastroscope.

Warns Leaders

WASHINGTCtN-(SNS)-
President Roosevelt Sunday
called upon the Office of
Production Management to
take immediate steps to deal
effectively with the grave
situation of nationwide dis
elimination against Negroes
in National Defense indus
tries.
The President said "com-
plants have repeatedly been
brought to my attention that
available and much-needed
workers are being barred
from defense production sole
ly because of race, religion
or national origin. 1t is said
that at a time when labor
stringencies are appearing in
many areas, fully qualified
workers are being turned
away from the gates of in
dustry on specifications en-
tirely unrelated to efficiency
and productivity. Also that
discrimination against Ne
gro workers has been nation
wide, and other minority ra-
cial, national and religious
groups have felt its effect in
many localities"
Mr.. ROosevelt's memoran-
dunn to William S. Knudsen
and Sidney HiS'nan, co-di-
rectors Of OPM, said that mo

ing threat of totalitarianism

nations foremost authorities on

vice permitting the trained physi-
clan to actually look inside a pa

DR.. Berry examined 100 chronic
alcoholics from the flophouse area
in Chicago's loop district, men who
have for years consumed from two
to three pints of whiskey, rubbing
alcohol, anti-freeze mixture and the
like per day. His findings were re-
ported at the recent annual meeting
of the American Medical associa-

The matter of the presidency
was considered by the university
board as a result of a report, SuS-
costing joint action on the part Of
the state and university boards,
submitted by special committee
representing both groups Which
met in Washington in April. In
cluded in the report was the sug =
gestion that the state board have
larger say in the administration
of university affairs including the
selection of the president.
At Wilberforce there are two sep
arate departments, one supported
by the state and one by the AME
church. The state department has
grown to about two-thirdS Of the

POLITICS ENTER PICTURE
Although this dual arrangement
has never been satisfactory. pre-
violls presidents have managed to
maintain harmonious relations be-
tween the two sides. However, with
the advent of President Walker
state politics began to play an im-
portant role in school affairs. A
loyal Democrat who opposed the
election and reelection OF the pres
ent Republican Governor Brick
er, President Walkers political ac-
tivites have been opposed by some
members of his faculty and there
has been much dissention at Will
berforce.
