NEGRO MORTALITY MUCH
HIGHER Than WHITE IS
REPORT TO SOCIAL
SECURITY CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. II
(ANP)-The death rate among
Negroes is 80 to 40 per cent higher
than among white persons and Ne
gro life expectancy is 10 to IL
years shorter. These were among
the shocking facts on health condi-
tions among the Negro people CIV
en- in an address by DR.. Paul B.
Cornely of Howard University to
delegates Of the international
Workers order at a conference on
social security and health held in
Washington.
Other facts revealed by DR..
Cornely are that:
l. Twice as many Negroes die of
pneumonia and influenza than
whites.
2. The number of Negroes ply
sicians in the United States as a
whole has increased II per cent.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-12-11

Though a ratio Of one doctor for
over 1,500 persons is considered es-
sential to safeguard health, in a
state like Mississippi there is one
Negro doctor for every 1887 Ne
gro persons and in South Carolina,
the ratio is one to 1852.
3. In 1912, 45.7 percent of Negro
live births were delivered by mid
wives compared to only 2.2 percent
for white mothers.
While dealing particularly with
the deplorable conditions among
the Negro people, the physician
pointed out that NEGRO health
problems may be considered as
merely exaggerations of the picture
of the community as a whole"

For his devotion to duty on the

looks to the United States for

"Our armed strength and world
organization will be ineffective for
peace" Patterson said, "if, here at
home and in our foreign relations,
we permit prejudices and hates to
warp our attitudes toward those
who possess and develop the earth
with us. Prejudice and hate, the in
gradients the totalitarian gang
sters used in their effort to subvert
the world, must be eliminated if
we are to rebuild it.
Intolerance, failure, to recog-
nize that of one blood are all ma
tions of men, will promote another
wave of the brutal and degraded
racism that inspired the Axis con-
spiracy, another world war whose
outcome may we'll be the end of
civilization"
The war secretary's plea for
world brotherhood was backed by
Rear Adm. Lewis L. Strauss. The
advent of the atomic bomb pre-

own and hence in danger
of having no raw material

CD 1t also reflected be-
lief on the part of some that
the famed faulting in Cat
Greek may not have per-
sisted with depth, and that
therefore the Ellis, and pos
sibIy other lower horizons,

productive over larger
areas than were the fields

In all, 200 acres were offered

divided into three units for sale

brought the high price was

40 that brought $150.75 an acre
was NW14 SWH 16-15N-30E.
The remaining 100 acres that
brought $60.75 an acre were E12
SW1A and SW14 SEA 16-15N-
30E.
A disturbing factor that prob
ably mitigated against still high
er prices being offered was the
presence of an attorney repre-
senting the Handel Oil Company
of Roundup, original holders of
the lease. While the state land
board has ruled that this COM
pany has forfeited its right to
this lease by failure to submit
application for renewal at the
proper time, attorney for the
company was present and inter
posed matter for the record, Civ
ing the clear impression that
whoever bought the lease might
also be buying an extended law
suit.

outcome of such a lawsuit, the

Despite these disturbing FAC
tors, bidding for the forty adj

ducers got off to a brisk start. r.
M. Fifer and A. H. Raymond .
opened gently with an offer of
$500 an acre and this was soon
smothered in a cloud of dust as
others joined the fray. S. w.
Hannah made a bid or two and
Bill Hanlon kept pitching until
the price reached $3.50. Hanlon
made it clear he thought the
lease was worth more, but with
too much legal action in sight to
make it justifiable for an indie
pendent operator TO tie up a
larger sum. Those who re-
NAMED in the fray after the
$3.50 mark was reached i'm
cluded Thompson, representing
the Farmers Union Central Ex-
change, Earl Mansfield, repre-
senting the Continental Oil
Company, and Jefferson Car
kansaw) Hawks, prominent Cas-
per lease broker representing
undisclosed principals.
Mansfield shortly reached the
limit authorized by his company
and Hawks and Thompson en-
tered a series of zig-zag bids,
showing up the price in succeed
ing raises of SIS.
Hawks made bid of $625.75
an acre and Thompson promptly
responded by raising the ante to
$650.75.
Hawks called for time out and
figured feverishly on the back
of an old envelope, ending by
announcing he was all through.
While bidding on the other
tracts was not so spirited, it was
evident from the start that
Thompson wanted the acreage
for his company, and intended
to get it.
The refinery of the Farmers
Union Central Exchange at Lau-
rel is one of the finest in the
state, with a rated capacity of
around 10000 barrels daily. Up
to a short time ago, it has been
supplied wholly by crude pur-
chased from others, with the
concern making no effort to de-
velop production of its own.
Evidently seeking to correct
this unsound condition, the
company moved a few months
ago to develop crude reserves
of its own, acquiring the Hunt
ley structure near Billings and
commenced wildcat thereon

Mr.. Peters said the clocks in the
old Post Office Building would be
changed at as near am. as pos
sible and that the change would in
volve stopping the clock for an hour
and not require turning the huge
hands II hours forward.
Railroads said the time change
would not necessitate reprinting
timetables. The Union Station
ticket Office said many timetables
have never borne the designation
Eastern war time.
A few trains will arrive early, 9TH
ers will be held up before starting,
but, otherwise, railroad schedules
will not be affected.
Actually ever since war time went
into effect, some railroad timetables
have been erroneous. These time
tables read Standard time when
the trains actually ran on "war"
time, but nobody seems to have par
ticularly worked up over it. Every
one apparently assumed the times
listed in timetables were whatever
the official time was throughout the
country.
