INVISIBLE CONTACT
LENSES

Since the great Improvement
of invisible contact lenses many
Inquiries have been made as to
the practicability Of these in
visible lenses. I can say that
they are quite practical and can
be worn under your eye lids for
several hours at a time and with
perfect safety. No one can tell
that you are wearing glasses.

FOR RACE RELATIONS

PITTSBURGH, May 81 (ANP)
Both races live together here
without fear of each other.
The element Of fear has been re-
duced by the conscientious efforts
of leaders in all communities. No
racial outbreaks have developed
here because the average citizen
believes none should develop. This
city has been working to further
irtercultural understanding for
several years.
One hundred community leaders,
representing industry, labor, poll
tics, religious groups, and educa-
ton, were brought together by the
local chamber of commerce to in
vestigate all possible friction points

this area following the Detroit race

They discovered two possible
friction points. One was the re-
suit of the city's Negro night work
ers, who had to board crowded
buses and trolley cars to get home.
Another was in the police depart
ment. Investigators found that
most of the police in the Negro
communities were white, and that
there were no ranking officers
among the few Negro police on the
force.
The mere existence of the COM
mittee had a tonic effect on the
Negro community, commented

AMERICAN COLLEGE Of
SURGEONS BARS
NEGRO DOCTORS

NEW YORK May 81 (ANP)-
Negro doctors are officially barred
from the American College of Sur
geons.
That fact became known here
when DIR. George Thorne received
reply from the ACS in regard to
letter he sent last month in re-
quest of a membership application
blank.
DR.. Thorne, a native of New
York and a graduate of Howard's
medical school made no mention OF
his race in his brief letter to the
ACS but their reply few days
later proved they investigate the
race of all applicants.
The executive secretary, Mrs.
Miriam T. Farrow, is not a physl-
clan but had beens informed by re-
gents of the ACS to discourage all
Negro applicants. DR.. Henry W.
Cave, local medic, went on rec
ord of being definitely anti-Negro.
Here is his comment:
"All l can say is at the present
time there is committee studying
the whole question of the relation
ship Of colored surgeons with the
American College of Surgeons.
They are considering the whole
question as to whether they are
going to take in a lot of Negroes
in the college"
When DIR. Malcolm P. MacEach-
ron, of Chicago, associate director
and chairman of the administrative
board of the ACS, was informed
about Mrs. Farrow's letter, he said:
There is nothing in the regula-
tions to disqualify any doctor from
becoming a fellow on account of
his race, creed or religion. l will
have to look into it,
DIR. Thorne interned at Harlem
hospital and served there for 10
years. He was assistant visiting
surgeon when he resigned to ac-
cept appointment to the surgical
staff of Lincoln hospital. He is
member of the Manhattan Central
Medical society, the New York
County Medical society, and serves
on the Sydenham hospital surgical
staff.

the House only to die in the Sen- ate. Only last month it was ap- proved unanimously by the House Agriculture Committee, and Con- gressman Pace argued at length for a rule to permit the Bill to come up for an early House vote.
 At the close of his argument, Pace turned to Representative Clifford Hope of Garden City, Kan sas, ranking Republican on the Ag- riculture Committee. for support.
 Long farm-bloc leader, Hope had voted for the Bill in previous sessions of Congress. But last week he astounded both the Rules Con- mittee and Pace by declaring:
 Gentlemen, while it is true that have supported this measure in the past, I cannot in good con- science give it my support now. Sympathetic as I am to the neceS- sity for improving farm income, l can only conclude that passage of such a bill at this time would be dangerously inflationary.
 Not only would it raise the cost of living for millions who cannot afford to pay more for the neces- sities of life" Hope continued but it would boomerang against the farmer by breaking down all con- trol over the items he must buy to live and keep in the farming busi- ness"
 Judge Adolph Sabath of Illin- ois, Chairman of the Rules Com mittee, then succeeded in having the Committee passover the Bill But it is still on the Committees agenda and may come up for vote at any time.

The Army Service Forces
tNeW York Times

 The biggest business in the world made it's report recently to its stockholders the people of the United States Its managing director, Gen. Brehon Somervell reported that in the fiscal year July l. 1944June 30 1945 it trained, clothed, fed, armed treated enter tained, instructed paid, deployed and redeployed an army of 830OO00 men. Its expenditures totaled So4- 000000O0.
 As General somervel says in his report, the Army Service Forces taken largely for granted by the American public. When a million and hundred thousand vehicles were landed on Normandy beaches O9 days, that fact stirred hardly ripple of ment. When barren island occupied and made into major base in few weeks time with airfelds, repair shops motion picture theatres housing for 50000 men or more that was only what they organized to do wasn't it? The Army Service Forces the report makes clear were the behind the men behind the guns that made victory possible.
 The overall extent of the forces under General Somervells command probably is little appreciated The Army Service Forces included practically every activity except that of the actual fighting There were seven technical services Quartermaster, Ordnance, Engineers Medical Signal Corps, Chemical Warfare and Transportation There the following ad- mnstrative services Adjutant General, Judge Advo- cate General, Provost Marshal General, Finance, Special Services and Information and Education Divi- sions and Chaplans It will be seen that the Army Forces therefore responsible not only for all the physical needs of the combat soldier but for his mental and spiritual needs as well
 Probably more than to any other part of the Army the personnel of the Army Service Forces-l250O0O officers and men-went directly from civil life into the ASF. At the end hardly any of the men and less than 3 per cent of the officers were professional soldiers General Somervel gives full credit for the task accomplished to the skill of these men trained before they the Army, in organization, pro- duction and transportation.
 General Somervel gave to the Service Forces, when he returned to the Army from years of dis tinguished service in New York City Public Works Administrator the somewhat flamboyant slogan "The impossible do at once the miraculous takes little longer" Looking back from victory at what was accomplished it does not too broad a statement

SCIENTISTS ys. POLITICIANS

t
 With some notable exceptions, which do not in validate the general rule American scientists are urging that atomic energy be turned over to inter- national controls and American politicians are disposed to hold the secrets of atomic energy as national military secret It is by nc, means an astonishing alignment For science is international by it's nature and scientists insnctiyely reject the notion that great scientific discovery should be the possession of one nation or a few nations. .s
 Politicians on the other hand, are habituated to think in national terms-when they do not think in purely local terms In addition politicians find their expectation of political life is increased if they con- sstently say in public what people want to hear. Most of us start with profound disrlst of foreigners and it is taken for granted that the popular and safe view is to oppose the sarngo of the atomic bomb with other nations. ,y,x.,-r~.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4

Benefic aspects rule today which is fortunate to those who plan Tor the new year Labor continues to offer grave problems.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are well guided today when Venus smiles upon them. It is an suspicious date for weddings and encourages love affairs as well as domestic felicity. The seers con tinue to stress responsibilities of wives and mothers in sustaining the faith and courage of the men in their families.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Astrologers warn of the danger ot greed to ambitious American busl- nessmen. International opportunities for gain will tempt many to con- done enemy crimes and to join in secret enterprises.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Revival of practical religion as necessary in rebuilding a devastated world will be widely recognized as important.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Human weaknesses will raise dill culties to lasting peace through many months of the new year, 1t IS forecast. Economic issues will loom more threatening as the snarl of world affairs is gradually untangled. Persons whose birthdate it is may have a year of anxieties and dis appointments, but they will work out most fortunately.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be talented and independent. They will have splendid energies that enable them to make much of life.

FARM PRICE BOOST

Very quietly, one of the most in- flationary,- bills recently proposed in Congress was debated recently by the House Rules Committee. The bill, authored by Representative Steve Pace of Georgia, would tack increased farm labor costs on top of farm parity prices. This would mean a rise in the price of food and other agricultural commodities which would hit the pocketbook of Mrs. America to the tune of 20 percent increase in the cost of liv- ing.

 Today, with reconversion begged down and scores of new economic problems to face, both the Admin istration and Congress lack the concrete facts on which to chart a revised economic course. That is why a new, quick, economic study along the lines of the old TNEC is probably needed now more than ever before.
