NOTED WOMAN PIANIST
Presents Students
CONCERT
BY CARL DITON

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (ANP).-
Helen Hagan gave much needed
lift to Harlem piano music in one
of her annual student recitals. Miss
Hagan is one of the three touring
Negro pianists who made Negro
piano history a generation ago,
throughout America. She was prob
ably the first Negro piano graduate
Of the Yale University conserva-
tory, from which she won a fellow
ship to the Paris Schola Cantorum
where she studied under the emin-
ent. French composer, Vincent
D'Indy.
The presentation of some 27 SOLO
lists betook the usual formal rou-
tine; beginners of four and five
years, followed by the intermediate
grades on thru to the advanced. For
materials Miss Hagan availed her
self Of interesting beginners pieces,
the Beethoven sonatina, the Mozart
sonata, the more recent Spanish and
Scandinavian styles, concluding
with the champion Of all writer's for
the instrument: Frederic Chopin.
There we heard to good advantage
nocturnes, waltzes, a mazurka and
a scherzo.
The advanced students in partic-
ular reflected great credit upon
their distinguished teacher in pur-
veying a musical tone produced by
equalized fingers with here and
there technical stunt such as cross
hands, polyrythym or deftly man.
ipulated staccato.
The audience was large and could
have been more appreciative. Flu
ture audiences will be, perhaps,
when piano playing in Harlem
comes into its own!

-"Only as groups join hands in a

the National Y.M.C.A. told the ap-
proximately 500 who attended the
first of the 1945-46 series of inter-

America cannot occupy the posi-
tion of which it is capable in the
leadership Of the nations as long as

must work to free ourselves from
spiritual disintegration. The soul of
a nation is torn apart when it re-

"When a man is evaluated on ex-

In discussing world problems he
said that such "cannot be settled by
saying we must be this or the other.
There must be spiritual under

"There will be no change for the

be chosen by the county medical
societies of the American Medical
association. 1t is perfectly apparent
that Negro physicians in the south
will never be able to qualify for this
business as the state and county
components of the American Med
ical association continue to refuse
membership to colored doctors.
Certainly it appears that the Vet
erans' bureau has not changed its
attitudes with change of leadership.
1t also looks as though ultimately
the National Medical association
may have to meet the American
Medical association head on in this

5th Negro in the United States to
win the DISC, and Carlton Moss,
producer of "The Negro Soldier"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-All
fathers were made draft-exempt to-
day and the army and navy an
nounced further reductions in dis
charge requirements which would
make $4,000 more persons eligible
for release.
Selective service instructed local
draft boards not to induct any more
fathers and not to accept on vol
unteer basis any father having three
or more children.
Fathers of one or two children
may continue to volunteer.
When the war ended, the drafting
of fathers was restricted to men
under 26 and today's order removed
that one remaining category from
the draft.
December 81 the army point score
will be cut from 55 to so for enlisted
men and from 73 to 10 for officers.
Six hundred thousand men and
women will become eligible for sepa-
ration in that branch.
The navy program will affect
$4,000 more persons between now
and February g. Critical scores in
the navy drop January l to SO for
enlisted men and 43 for officers; to
23 for enlisted WAVES and 29 for
WAVE officers. There are one-point
reductions from the present scores.

DR.: B0USFIELD HITS
Jim CROW HOSPITAL
.RANKIN'S HOME

BY DIR. M. o. BOUSFIELD
(Former Head of Station Hospital,
Fort Huachuca, Ariz., and past
president, National Medical Asso-
ciation.)
CHICAGO, Dec. 20 (ANP) P).-Ap-
parently another chance to scotch
the forces of discrimination has
been missed in the approved loca-
ton of two new veterans hospitals
segregated for Negroes. Worse To-
cations for these institutions could
not possibly have been chosen than
in Tupelo, Miss, the home town of
Negro-baiting Rankin and in Bon
ham, Texas, in the northeastern
corner of that state near the Arkan-
sas line.
In our present day thinking there
is no excuse for accepting all-Negro
federal hospitals in areas where it
is hopeless to look upon the situa-
tion as experimental and with alb
solutely no chance of changing the
organization as time goes on. In
this connection it is pointed out that
in the army such hospitals as the
one at Fort Huachuca gradually
changed from an all-Negro hospital
until it has a mixed staff and mixed
patients.
1t is not generally known that this
has happened in a number of places
in the army hospitals and that col
ored nurses and colored doctors
have been used much more than has
been advertised to care for white
patients. But it is impossible to Wis
ualize this in the benighted Vet
erans' bureau when such men as
Rankin and Bradley have control.
They have refused to learn any,
thing from a changing sentiment
among Negroes and Gen. Bradley
seems not to have been willing to
search for army experiences or to
accept them.
It would have been better to have
kept these hospitals out Of the
south entirely. But if one was to be
located, for example in Mississippi,
then there is much to be said for
placing it in the all-Negro town of
Mound Bayou. The additional in
come would have built up that thriv-
ing community and assured Negro
doctors of a place on the staff in
stead of having Rankin hand the
race another insult by placing it in
his home town and laugh at US by
using Negroes as patients for a
white staff and for the financial
advantage Of Tupelo.
By the same tokens this Bonham
hospital should have been placed in
Taft, Okla, another all-Negro CON-
munity. These locations would have
had some assuaging effects and
have furnished some reasons, nc
matter how illogical, for continuing
an unnecessary segregation. 1t is
doubtful that Negro physicians
could be persuaded to accept ap-
pointments to the staffs of these
hospitals even if they were tender.
ed, but it is much more unlikely
that Negro doctors will even be
considered.
In addition to this the Veterans
bureau has recently set up a system
by which local physicians are to bt
trained to give specialized care tx
veterans who are not confined tt
! hospitals. These local doctors are t,

FEp( TO Die BY MARCH
UNLESS PERMANENT
AGENCY IS ESTABLISHED

DIdCClCcS Ill AIlcIlCd.
That picture of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt's wartime emergen-
cy agency was presented to Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman by FEPC
officials during White House con-
ference here.
Informing the President of the
present status of the committees
efforts, the officials attending the
conference included Malcolm Ross,
FEPC chairman; George M. John
son, deputy chairman; Boris Shis-
kin, AFL representative; John Bro
ply, CIO spokesman; Miss Sara
Southall, International Harvester
company; and David K. Niles,
member of the Presidents secre-
tarial staff.
Noting that the current FEPC
agency is doomed unless a perma-
nent fair employment practice law
is Immediately enacted by congress,
the leaders predicted that the agen-
cy cannot survive more than 90
days, or around March. They out
lined five steps to the President
that should be taken in the face of
the committees slashed budget and
impending dissolution.
/. Abolition of discrimination in
government.
2. Prevention of discrimination
in reconverted or reconverting in
dustries during the reconversion pc
riod.
3. Recognition of the desperate
financial plight of the current
FEPC. Only $4,000 is left to sup
port the excellent staff assembled,
now marked by token representa-
ton in st. Louis, Detroit, and Chi
cago.
4. Clear definition of the COM
mittee's present powers.
5. An FEPC industrial survey,
which will be embodied in a final
report to the President.
Significantly the question of the
Capital Transit Co., the issue which
precipitated the whole FEPC mat
ter into it's current controversial
state, was not even brought up.
Evidently this omission was an
agreement previously made by the
committee. Neither was the protest
resignation of Charles H. Houston,
former FEPC committee member,
made on the Presidents directive
to drop the Capital Transit Co.
matter, mentioned.
He thought it was important to
know what current practices were
during reconversion and felt that
the committee might well hold one
fact-finding hearing to discover
just what the present situation is.
1t may be assumed from the re-
port Of the conference that the ad-
ministration recognizes it's inability
to help the committee in its financial
difficulty. There are SO many
strings attached to the Presidents
emergency funds which under the
conditions imposed by congress bans
their being used for any agency for
which congress has already made
an appropriation, that no help may
be expected from that source.
The committee appeared to fore
cast the final dissolution of the
agency in March if not earlier. The
only hope for the future is that OF
legislative efforts to secure from

Care Of Dogs Aid U. S.
Soldiers in Conyalescing

The army air forces convalescent
hospital at Pawling, N. Y, is the
only American establishment of its
kind today in which the patients
are encouraged to acquire and
care for a dog of their own to
hasten their recovery, says Col
lier's. In August, 1914, one of them
had become so apathetic he was
given a puppy in the hope that it
might revive his interest in life.
AS a result, the man was dis
charged in four months, instead of
the 10 months which had been
estimated by the physicians.
- Consequently, the staff and pa
tients realized the convalescent
value of such companionship, and
requests were made for some 1926
dogs. The first 175 to arrive were
gifts, the majority from the
1ASPCA.

An important thing about Andy
Gribbin's education is that his
whole early life is spent in learn
ing the essential business of Co
operation, of getting along with
fellow-beings.
First, he has to learn how to
fit into his immediate fam;i.v.
learn the give-and-take nee. :
sary to get along with BROTH,
sisters, elders.
Then, after a few years, his
world enlarges, he is sent to
school. Pretty soon he learns
how to spell CAT. But about
this same time he learns some
thing much more valuable, which

tail because a cat is a being, and
therefore entitled to certain in
GlienGble rights.
He also learns that / plus /
equals 2. But much more useful
is learning that 48 equals I, that
48 states make / nation, indivis-
ible, with liberty and justice for

church, at school, in business.
And through it all viii run the
theme of cooperation, of getting

ligious, political and economic
beliefs; with people some of
whom he doesn't even like.

h'stocy is that the Andy Crib
| .r.s have not learned that in a
c3etantly shrinking world, Co
operation must extend beyond
:ns borders of the country; that
j-lst as it is necessary to get
long with neighbors and neigh
Dor states, SO is it necessary to
get along with neighbor nations.
And today, with no spot on
earth more than sixty hours
away by plane, with oceans
shrunk to the width of rivers,
with the age of rocket-travel
upon us, all nations are neighbor
nations.
There are hopeful signs that
finally we are awake to this.
Even so, a lack of determine
ton, of responsibility, of effort
could again ruin the peace and
set the stage for World War 8.
What can you do to help make
sure that war will never come?
You can :.
First, get and keep yourself informed
about the specific proposals for peace
and international cooperation which
are now before us.
Second, interest your friends in these
questions. Get them discussed In
groups to which You belong.
Third, write what you think to your
Congressman and Senators, to your
newspaper. Declare yourself.
