Today Ohio's doctors and nurses by the
hundreds are serving with our Army
and Navy from Alaska to Iran, from
Australia to Italy - bringing back to
health the men who are helping win
Victory for the United Nations. But on
the home front, other thousands of doc
torc and nurses are fighting doubly hard
to keep their fellow-citizens of Ohio in
good health - doing everything in their
power to prevent or minimize Interrupt
tons in our States war effort.
In very real sense the well-being of
Ohioans is in the capable hands of
nearly 5000 physicians and surgeons
and about $4,000 nurses. At their dis
posal are the facilities of 247 hospitals
which have beds for over $1,000 patients
at one time. In an average year more
than half million patients are admitted
to these institutions. To the Ohio De-

Churches Organize
To Aid Roosevelt

following a conference attended by
Is prominent clergymen represent
ing four denominations
Bishop Wright Of Wiiberforce
/ Ohio, vas named chairman OF the
new organization, with the Rev. j.
/ c. Austin. pastor OF Pilgrim Bap-
! tlst church in Chicago as CO.
chairman Other officers include the
Rev. H. l.. Mcneil, pastor, Zion
Baptist church, Dayton. secretary;
and Bishop J. A. Hamlet. Of the
c. NJ E church, Kansas City, Kans.,
treasurer.
In public statement. the COM
mlttee called upon Negro voters TO
support the President. We Ne
groeS. the statement read, know
from the record who are our true
friends and We believe that on Mo-
vember 7 every thoughtful Negro
citizen will vote for Roosevelt
whose reelection will assure fur
Their advance of true democracy in
America and in the world. Remem-
boring that Roosevelt's democracy
always includes Negroes, let US
work earnestly TO retain him in
Office in this crucial period"
The statement points out the his
toric parallel between the election
Of 1864 and the election OF 1914 At
that time Lincoln's leadership was
being challenged by General Nc
Clellan.
The question now is, as il was
! then: Shall we continue in Office
the President under whose admin
istration the war began and has
thus far been successfully prose-
Cuted? In 1864. the nation decided
not 10 change its President during
so critical period and not to put
the final winning OF the war and
the shaping of the peace in inexperi-
onced hands. We believe the COM
mon sense OF America today will
follow the same principle and re-
elect President Roosevelt" the COM
mittee maintains.
Organizers OF the new commit
tee and signers OF its declaration
include Bishops Wright and Ham
