With over 200 physicians and sur

pital. said today.
In addition to the usual brilliant

He stated that the number of Ne
gro doctors row commissioned was
something over $50 Approximately
100 more are available and some SO
odd young internes will be ready
by July /. l943. DR.. Lawlah added
that the quota should be filled from
Negro physicians now located in
urban centers rather than from the
rural south where medical. facili-
! ties for the race are and have beer
entirely inadequate.
DR.. Perry urged more whole
hearted participation in every for
ward movement OF national import
I that touched the community in any
way.
Major Giles gave an interesting
picture OF the fine facilities, the
excellent work of the Negro army
doctors and the highly satisfactory
racial goodwill that obtains at the

Arizona.
DR.. J. A. Kennedy urged the doc
tors to support nationwide cam
paigns for war fund, bonds and

ney, but the American Red Cross
is caring for the families of our

organization contributing to their

should give the American Red
