{l5O,000 From
Kellogg Fund
DR.. Clawson Is
Named Head Of
Dental Dept

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - (SNS) --
Meharry Medical College has recelv-
ed notice of a grant of 25O,OOO.Oo,
$50 10000 annually for five years,
from the w. K. Kellogg Foundation
of Battle Creek, Michigan. This
grant is to finance continuous edu-
cational program in medicine, dent
istry and nursing. It was made IN
response to requests on the part OF
DIR Edward L. Turner, president OF
Meharry, who had long recognized
the need of such a program for Ne
gro physicians, dentists and nurses.
The grant became available April l.,
1912.
A portion of the fund will be used
to reorganize and develop the School
of Dentistry. An outstanding dent
al leader is to be brought to the in
stitution to direct this work. Mem
bers of the dental faculty will be CIV
en- fellowships for study in leading
dental centerS. -.-
In this way members of the dent
al faculty will have the same oppor
tunities that have been given to
the members of the medical and
nursing schools. The first step will
be the strengthening of the under
graduate teaching and afterWard
the postgraduate teaching will be
expanded.
DR.. M. D. Clawson has been ao-
pointed by the Board of Trustees
as director of the School of Dentist
ry and will take charge May l, 1912.
DR.. Clawson was formerly director
of the Dental School of the Ameri-
can University at Beirut, Syria. He
held this post from 1880 until 1884.
Since 1884, he has been director of
the dental service of the Iraq Pc
troleum Company with headqualt
ers in Haifah, Palestine.
Doctor Clawson is an outstanding
dentist and an excellent teacher
whose field is primarily operative
dentistry. He has done consider
able research in the dental condi-
tiOnS as found in the Arabs in the
Near East and has also made some
very substantial contributions to the
history of dentistry through his
archaeological studies on Phonecian
dentistry. His studies have taken
taken him to most of the scientific
centers in Europe and he has be-
come widely known there as he is
in his native United States.
Some months ago the turbulent
conditions in the Near East caused
him to return home and since, he
has received several offers to join
the staffs of dental schools here.
His visit to Meharry made him be-
come deeply interested in the po-
tentalities of it's dental school and
he decided TO help in its reorgani-
zation.

The concerns are in the Chica-
go and Milwaukee areas, and the
findings and directions are based
on two days of public hearings
held January 19 to 20 in Chicago
Since January the committee, Of
which DR.. Malcolm S. MacLean,
president of Hampton Institute, is
chairman, had studied the record
before taking the action announc-
ed.
The companies involved in the
Chicago area are: the Stewart
Warner Corporation, the Buick
Aviation plant at Melrose, Illinois,
a unit of General Motors Corpora
tio!l; the Bearse Manufacturing
Company, Simpson Manufacturing
Company and the Studebaker
branch factory. Those in the Mil
waukee area are: the Nordberg
Manufacturing Company, A. O..
Smith Corporation He'll Com
pany, Allis-C Chalmers Corporation
and the Harnischfeger Corpora
ticn.
One company, M;.jestic Radio
Corporation of Chicago, was COM
mended for its prompt action IN
correcting discriminatory practice
in it's hiring. According to testi-
mony by H. A. Gates, Majestic
president, he discharged two of his
supervisory and found the charges
of discrimination made by the
committee to be valid. Mr.. Gates
took this action even before he
appeared On the witness stand at
the Chicago hearings.
The complaints filed against the
several companies included allega-
tions that they had refused to en-
play either Negroes or Jews, or
both; chat they had given restr"ic-
tive orders to either public or
private employment agencies, ask
ing for only white or only Gentle
workers; that they had advertised
in newspapers for help and speci-
fled "Gentile' or PROTESTANT or
white" or that they had refused
to give workers Of certain races
and creeds opportunity fer promo
ton in keeping with their qualifi-
cations.
The companies for the most
part denied that they were dis
eliminating. but in each case the
committee found that the evidence
supported the charges of discrimi-
nation.
"The findings and directions will
give the committee a continuing
jurisdiction over the employment
practices of these industries, which
hold contracts for war implements
and material, as each concern has
been asked to file reports With
the committee, showing the extent
to which steps have been taken to
bring the comDany's employment
policies and practices into line
With the national policy" DR..
MacLean explained.
The findings and directions, with
notifications for the specific ease
Of each company, read as follows:
"The committee directs that the
proper policy-making officials OF
the corporation give written i'll
struction TO each of their en-
ployees IN charge of employment
to comply fully with the provisions

though black like them, he felt
there was too much difference be-
tween him and them to allow for a
cc11nlcn binding and a common
life. Only when threatened with
death could that happen; only In
fear and shame, with their backs
against a wall, could that happen.
But never could they sink their
differences in hope.
