Mental Exams
Fail To Prove
Differences

NEW YORK.-The whole mass
OF intelligence tests which have
been used 10 prove the superiority
and inferiority Of various racial,
ethnic and national groups was Sc
.yerely criticized by DR.. Otto

gence," which was a part OF the
weekly lecture series A World
View OF the Negro Question.
These lectures are held at the

TAKES ISSUE
IN VET PLAN
FOR HOSPITAL

WASHINGTON. DC. A protes,
against the announced plan of the
Veterans Administration TO con-
struct separate hospital facilities
Tor Negroes. was voiced by Leslie
5. Perry OF the Washington Bureau
NAACP in a letter this week 10
Brigadier General Frank T. Hines
Administrators OF the Veterans Ad-
ministration. In registering con.
Germ over the attitude Of the Vet
Administration. Perry pointed to
Hines own testimony before the
Appropriations committee of the
House Of Representatives regarding
appropriations for l945, in which
he said:
We are going 10 have a prob
lem undoubtedly OF providing an
other Tuskegee hospital. or a solid
colored hospital, probably more in
the Mississippi Alabama area.
There are a large number of col,
ored troops from that area. The
Board is studying allcof that now"
In response 10 Hines statement
Perry said, The racial attitudes
and practices OF the Veterans Adj
ministration is a matter Of deep
concern to the Association as well
rs TO thousands OF thoughtful white
and colored people throughout the
nation. We must express ourselves
as being irrevocably opposed TO the
extension of Jim Crowism by the
Veterans Administration whether
under he guise OF so-called SOLID
colored hospitals or otherwise. We
again must urge that Negro en-
ployees be integrated in the Vet
GRAMS Administration at their prop
er skills and levels. and that Ne
gro patients be hospitalized in your
facilities on the basis OF medical
need and not of color"

REPORT PROVES
PARENTHOOD TO
be imp R Owed.

NEW YORK-Through national
and local support and cooperation
the goal of providing parents in
every section Of the country with
the knowledge and means to space
the birth OF their children health
fully has been brought steps nearer
TO realization.
This was the grist of a report OF
IL months work made by Mrs. Ma
RE B. Schanks. national consultant
on work with Negroes for the
Planned Parenthood Federation Of
America.
Under the direction of a BIZ
racial National Planning committee
formed early in 1914 and headed
by Charles p. Browning. national
representative OF the Chicago De
fender. practical assistance has been
provided to- many physicians
nurses, ciergymen. social workers
educators and industrial leaders in
interpreting the three major aims
Of planned parenthood to families
in need of such aid. These aims
are the spacing of births to pro-
tect the health of mothers so as
TO help provide each child with
a fair share of health and economic
security; the correction of child
less marriages through advanced
medical knowledge; and marriage
counselling TO assist couples achieve
mutual understanding in their mar
rlages.
Interest and enthusiasm for the
planned parenthood program is fur
Their indicated in the report by the
resolutions endorsing il passed in
1914 by such organizations as the
National Medical Association, Nat
ional Congress Of Colored Parents
and Teachers, and the National Ne
gro Insurance Association.
Urban Leagues in many states.
Mrs Schanks stated. are cooperat-
ing in efforts TO help families have
their babies when the, parents are
in good health and a position TO
provide the care and attention
needed for their normal develop.
ment, The Jeanes Teachers, Nat
ional Council OF Negro Women and
the National Association of Colored
Graduate Nurses have also indicat-
ed their belief that babies born
by choice and not by chance" can
do much 10 improve general health
and living standards.
Outstanding among the years
accomplishments was the inclusion
OF planned parenthood services in
the state maternal health programs
of Florida, Mississippi. and Texas
and the establishment OF public
clinics through which planned par.
enthood services are available.
