AUTHOR AWARDED $500
FOR RACIAL STUDIES

WASHINGTON, June 18 (ANP)
DIR. Ruth Fulton Benedict, Co.
lumbia university anthropologist,
who offers her scientific findings
as an argument against racial dis
elimination, received the $1,000
Achievement award of the Ameri-
can Association of University
women here at a session Of the state
presidents conference.

Races of Mankind" which attests
to her doctrine that individuals be-
have according to circumstances
and environment rather than racial
strains.
DR.. Benedict said she will use
the award to continue the special
type of research she has done since
World War |. Her racial researches
served during World War II to
guide morale and propaganda Of
fensives both in Europe and Asia,
although "Races of Mankind" was
banned from some army camps in
the United States. Other works in

OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS

CHICAGO, JUNE 18 (ANP)
Opportunities for\Wedical educa-
tion are improving \according to
medical authorities here. The doors
of medical colleges, particularly
state institutions, are opening
wider and wider to Negro students.
DR.. M. O. Bousfield, technical di-
rector of the Provident Hospital
Medical associates said that he
could guarantee that Negro medi-
cal students whose training and
ability were on an absolute par with
students of any other race, would
be accepted at the University of
Illinois Medical school.
'The only question in my mind"
said DR.. Bousfield, ''is whether we
can find a requisite number of
really qualified applicants. The stu
dent who enters a medical college
today must be a superior student
whose ability and personality will
fit him to enter this highly COM
petitive field"

GOV. HASTE GETS
Senate (UT. RESTORED

ST. THOMAS, V. l., June 18
(ANP)-Gov. Hastie held his first
press conference here since he as
sumed office as governor. He ex-
pressed himself as highly optimistic
as to the future of the Virgin
islands and the cooperation he ex-
poets from those in authority in
the United States. He revealed that
the senate committee had restored
the entire amount which was cut
from the appropriations for the
islands by the house committee and
he is hopeful that after conference
the amount will be passed He is
awaiting the final outcome, how
ever, before appointing his admin
istrative assistant.
He is still searching for a quail
fled man to fill the post of director
of police at st. Thomas. The COVER
nor feels that the salary of $4,000
per annum which the job pays is
too small to attract topnotch per-
son. With regard to his military
aide, he said that he has man in
mind but he is investigating
whether he can be made available
for making a bid for him.
Wednesday the governor had a
luncheon conference with members
of the municipal council where
many matters for the islands were
discussed. This is budget time and
the legislature is considering a
budget with expenditures of close
to million dollars.
Gov. Hastie has not yet made
public whether he has an overall
plan to put into effect or whether
he will make a comprehensive sur
vey before venturing on the prep
aration of such a plan.
