Short Sighted Greed
Imperils Our Future

GIN OUR relations abroad and in
L our economy at home, forces
of selfishness and greed and intol-
erance are again at work If
certain interests were not so
greedy for gold, there would be less
pressure and lobbying to induce con-
gress to allow the price control act
to expire, or to keep down mini
mum wages or to permit further
concentration of economic power
as among men, so among
nations. President Truman.
If you folks, who live in the home
towns and the. rural areas of the
nation, could but sit in on one ses-

by the Children's Bureau, u. S.
Department of Labor. For white
population under 20 years of age
the average accident death rate
in a recent three year period was
56.3 per 100000 for boys and 25.3
for girls. For the corresponding
nonwhite group, the death rate
was 74.2 for boys and 1858 for
girls.
To combat this loss Of life and
injury caused by accidents which
are largely preventable, the Am
erican Red Cross carries on a vast
educational program in first aid,
water safety, and accident pre-
vention. Courses are conducted in
schools, at camps, and among
community groups by volunteer
instructors through the facilities
of Red Cross chapters.
Many instructors in all three
phases of this safety program are
trained at national aquatic schools
which are conducted at camp cites
throughout the nation during the
summer months. Plans for the
1916 season indicate that 3 Negro
aquatic schools will be conducted
this year-in Midwestern, East
ern, and Southeastern areas.
Last year more than 100 Ne
groes from eastern and southea-
stern states were qualified as in
structors in first aid, water safety
or accident prevention at two az
uatic schools. Negroes are inclu-
ded on the faculty at these sch
ools.
The Red Cross course taught BY
these instructors and others are
used to great extent in the sch
ools and colleges. For example, a
recent course for seniors at Pral-
RE University, Texas, resulted in
qualification of So first aid and
% accident prevention instructors.
individuals attending this school
will go to all parts of the US, and
principally as teachers in Negro
schools.
In addition to offering these
courses the Red Cross contributes
TO the safety program through it's
vast network of highway first aid
stations and mobile first aid units
n the increasing need for these
stations and units is indicated by
the fact that from W Day to the
end of 1915, traffic deaths in
creased 36 percent over the cor
responding period of 1914. The
l945 total death toll of 2S,5OO re-
presented a II percent increase
over 1914.
Deaths from accidents of all
types totalled about SO, 900 in 1945
a one percent increase over the
1914 total, according to prelim-
mary figures of the National SAT-
ETY. Council.

the threat to full-scale output re-
manned.
In any event. the auto industry
will be unable to meet the goal
OF six million cars set for 1916. With
reasonably clear sailing. it is ex-
pected that three million passenger
vehicles will be turned out during
the remainder Of the year.
Indicative Of the high gear into
which the industry must be thrown
to meet production goals, Ford has
assembled only 76, 900 r thus far:
Chrysler, SO, 1000; General Motors,

CONGRESS-:
Conservative Coalition

Having first shown its strength in
passage Of the Case anti-strike bill.
a coalition of southern Democrats
and Republicans is being organized
in congress to loosen government
regulation over the nations econ
omy.
Led by Representative Hartley
(Rep., N. J.), 100 congressman al
ready have joined the coalition, with
a strategy committee composed Of
Hartley himself, Crawford (Rep.,
Mich.). Smith Dem, Va.). Barden
(Dem., N. CO.. Camp Dem, Ga },
Roe Dem, Md, Jenkins CRep.,
Ohio, Buffet rep. Neb.), Pace
(Dem., Ga.) and Sundstrom (Rep.,
N. j..
Though the coalition strategy calls
for an attack on OPA pricing regu-
lations such as requiring sellers to
absorb part Of increased costs of
production and distribution, the
group will seek modification rather
than outright abolition of the
agency. Support would be given to
a n year extension of OPA.
Senator Wherry (Rep., Neb.) was
to head the coalition in the senate,
where support may be slower in de-
veloping because of the need for
m m capvacc their DOcitiOpc
more accurately in view of their
wider constituencies. Rejecting
this more cautious approach, the
senate greatly watered the strin-
gent Case bill which restricted la
Dor activities.

Galloway, with Offices at 1868
West Roosevelt Road, has been
appointed lecturer in Internal Ne
4-cIne at the University of Illinois
n Chicago.
This is particularly significant
at a time when many other med
zeal schools are denying admiss-
ion to colored students because
of allegedly patient objections. DR..
Galloway says that although he
was forced by the administration
to withdraw from the University
of Chicago Medical School on &C
count of race, he has never had
~ friction with patients or nur-
SeS.
Jr. Galloway completed his
raining at the University of Ill
inois. He then was appointed in
tern and later resident physician
at the University of Illinois Hos
pital in two record breaking ach-
-evements.
For the past two years DR.. Cal
loway has directed clinical resear-
CHI in the Department of Interal
Medicine. He was named a reSpon-
slbie Investigator of the Office of
Scientific Research and Develop
ment during the war, and studied
convalescence and special diagno-
site procedures for the armed
.orces.
More recently DR.. Galloway has
had the responsibility for plan
ming the medical units of the new
University of Illinois Hospitals,
planning a brochure for procedures
on the medical wards and the job
OF planning and organizing the
special precision diagnostic me
thos and laboratories.
DR.. Calloway's speciality is in
ternal medicine and his main in
terest is in Glandular Disorders,
metabolism and diagnostic proce-
dures.
He holds the Phi. D. as we'll as
the M. D. degree. He was form
erly an Instructor in chemistry
at Tuskegee Institute and Fisk
University and taught Pharmaco-
logy at the University of Chicago.
He has written many scientific
papers and IS a member of sew
eral honorary societies. He be-
longs to the Kappa Fraternity.
DR.. Galloway is particularly in
terested in~the underpriviliged. He
is conducting a study of the lou
rishment and development of Ne
gro children on Chicago's West

the cooperation of Randall House

Unified During War

AS a nation during the war, we
were unified in a common cause
against a common enemy to protect
and preserve our liberty. Industry
and labor and agriculture, indeed
at tremendous profit, worked hand
in hand for the common cause.
But the moment the shooting
stopped, what happened? Although
we r still at war, although no
peace treaty has been signed, al
though we as a nation have made
tremendous commitments to keep
the world peace and police the con-
quered nations O.. although we
emerged as the greatest humani-
tartan and political and military
force in the world . . we imme-
diately started to throw our unity,
u self-discipline, u humanita-
rianism, our military force, our
political prestige to the winds -.
for what?
The greed for gold is the answer.
Here in Washington, the answer is
self-evident. The halls of congress
are overlooking with lobbyists but
tonholing members money is
pouring in by the thousands of dol
lars from power Hobbies, business

and hauled one way or another,

Settled after a bitter 113-day

the union, though falling short of
JAW goals. Despite the long-drawn
pickering, the company granted
only 1914 cents an hour instead Of
the 1914 cents demanded, and the
average G. M. wage was set at from
SLIP to 81. 30h cents an hour, still
below the Ford and Chrysler pay

serving cereals for feeding Of the
hungry in war stricken Europe and

survey of overseas conditions.
Hoover told a news conference that
he believed both North and South
America could save upwards Of 2
million tons Of cereals during the
next 12O days to help fill a need for
about 9 million tons. The years re-
quirements will total 81 million tons,
he said, but only IL million tons
will be available without the under
taking Of broad conservation meas
ures.
OF the total of Z million tons that
the western hemisphere could fur
nish within the next four months,
South America could contribute 5
million tons, Hoover said. This
amount could be made available by
cutting down purchases Of foreign
goods requiring payment in grain:
