During the past few months,
the number of men under armS has

mot only that, but plans already
perfected call for a still greater In

listed personnel naturally calls for
an increase in the number Of medi-

These medical officers must come
from the younger physicians alrea-
dy in practice and from those to
be graduated by the medical schools
during the next few years. A larger
number Of physicians must be pro-

"Meharry has already increased
its output of physicians and will

This has been accomplished by in

41OOO Whites Only 6 900
Negroes To Army In Carolina
Wide Disparity
Causes Senator
To Investigate

| COLUMBIA, S. G. amp -
South Carolinians, white, have beer
much disturbed because of the
great disparity between the number
of Negoes and whites who have beer
indicted into the army. Although
Negroes constitute almost half OF
the population of South Carolina
up-to-date there have been al ,OOC
white South Carolinans sent to the
army and only 5000 Negroes.
The Sentiment among white peo-
pie who see the flower of their
youth being drafted with the Ne
groeS left behind, reached such a
point that an appeal was made to
Senator Maybank to look into the
matter.
Reports from Washington from
Senator Maybank who called upon
the adJutant generals. office to in
qulre why there were So few Ne
groes being drafted, were to the eff
lect that the department said IT,
800 South Carolina Negroes would
De mducted during April. Maybank
said further that there were I47.219
white boys registered and only 107,-
610 Negroes.
Colored observers point to two
reasons for the disparity in num-
bers between the races. First. al
though 2,708 Negroes were placed in
class Al recently, white bows had
TO be substituted because the army
CID not have enough facilities to
care Tor the colored troops in the
segregated units already set up.
second, a large number of colored
boys have been unable to pass the
literary test. South Carolina spends
only 50 year to educate her COL
ofed youth while she spends $24
per year for whites. The result is
that white boys pass the literary
test with ease.
Senator Maybank, while governor
made an honest effort to improve
negro education facilities by COM
ing out for equalization of paw for
Negro and white teachers. The Ku
hlux Klan lambasted him for his
efforts. There is many a wry smile
as che Kluxers' sons are inducted
INTO service leaving their grinning
plack cousins behind.
