Health For All

Tuberculosis seldom has out ward symptoms in it's early stage. The germs work quietly at first and great damage may have been done by the time the symptoms are apparent and the disease is discovered. Tuberculosis can be cured, but it is easier to cure in that early, symptomless stage. If the disease is allowed to progress until one lung is badly damaged or both lungs are affected, it is difficult to arrest the disease.
 There would be fewer deaths from tuberculosis if the disease were always discovered in its early stage. And it can be discovered be- fore the outward symptoms appear by means of a chest X-ray.
 Everyone 15 years of age and over should have periodic chest K ray examinations. If everyone did form the habit of having X-ray pictures taken of the lungs at fre- quent intervals, cases of tubercu- losis would be found before it is too late for successful treatment and deaths from tuberculosis would be greatly reduced.
 In the next article, giving the child healthy start in school will be discussed.

TB AFTER 40

Because tuberculosis takes the highest death toll of any disease among young people from 15 years Of age on, tt is often thought of as young peoples disease.
 Actually, tuberculosis belongs to no age group. It may strike any age, though pulmonary tuberculo- sis is comparatively rare between the ages of 5 and 15. The fact that tuberculosis is not a disease of youth alone is proved by statistics which show that more than half of all the deaths from tuberculosis occur among persons 40 years of age and over.
 People who die of tuberculosis af- ter they reach the forties may have contracted the disease in their younger years or they may have caught it in their more ma ture years.
 Tuberculosis is caused by germ and anyone who is exposed to the germ may ge. She disease, regard less of his age. Years do not ere, ate immunity to the disease there is no immunity against tuberculo- sis unless it is a healthy body, strong enough to resist disease when germs invade the body.
 One of the reasons that so many of the tuberculosis deaths occur among people of 40 years and over may be that the disease was not discovered early enough for treat ment to be undertaken successful

Notables Fight Home Covenants

Los Angeles (Pacifc Press Sym dicate) - The fight by Jack Chase former state welterweight cham pion, and his wife, Lillian Ran dolph, prominent radio and screen actress, to win possession of their West Adams boulevard home will go to a decision this week in Su- perior Court.
 It is likely that at the hearing Atty. John McTernan, defense counsel for the Chases, will ask that the entire matter be dismissed on the grounds that such coven- ants are in violation of the U. $. Constitution.
 Chase and Miss Randolph pur- chased property at 2276 West Adams Blvd, but a temporary in- Junction based on a race restric- tive covenant has barred them from possession.

Baptists Re-elect National Officers

Atlanta, Ga. (NNPA)-Dr. D. V. Jemison of Selma, Alabama, president, and the entire slate of incumbent officials of the National Baptist Convention, Inc, in an- nual session here, were reelected by exclamation Wednesday after noon, September 4, following the reading of Dr. Jemison's sixth annual message.
 The Convention, meeting at the City Auditorium, heard Dr. Jemison's message read by the Rev. J. c. Washington of Ala bama.
 Dr. Jemison challenged Ameri- ca and the world to fairer treat ment of colored peoples, point ing to the recent massacre of four persons near Monroe, Georgia, recently, as blot on the nation and as a reason some delegates may have refrained from coming to the convention here.
 In his message, Dr. Jemison called for even-handed- justice in the courts, anti-lynching, fair employment practice and anti poll-tax legislation, equal educa- tional opportunities the abolition of the Jim Crow system on pub lie carriers, full recognition of colored womanhood, and the right to vote.
 The message brought a great ovation for Dr. Jemison. As soon ovation had subsided, the Rev. J. c. Austin, of Chicago, moved that the rules be suspended and that Dr. Jemison be reelected by ac- clamation. The motion was seconded by the Rev. M. W. Witt of Alabama, and passed.
 The Rev. J. W. Tate of New York then offered a motion that all officers of the convention be reelected by exclamation. This

By Samuel P. Perry, Jr. PSYCHIATRY COMES TO HAIR. LEM-Richard Wright (Septem- Der, Free World)

LEM-Richard Wright (Septem-
 Der, Free World)
 Although this article is prim-
 arily concerned with the problems
 around in Harlem, the objective
 reader can readily see that any Negro community must meet the same problems squarely. For the powerful personality conflicts en- gendered in Negroes by the con- sistent sabotage of their demo cratic aspirations in housing, jobs, education, and social mobility are no respecters of communities whether North or South of the Mason-Dixon Line.
 MT. Wright attempts to present clear-cut picture of the problems besetting the Negro ghettoes: high juvenile delinquency, inadequate number of qualified psychiatrists who even find difficulty in trying to prepare themselves for such ca reers, and the discrimination fos- tered by agencies now existing to deal with psychiatric cases. Such conditions exist, even though, in theory, Negroes have access to the same facilities as the whites, if they can pay the high fees of available psychiatrists. (Inciden- tally, one has only to read a psy- chiatry journal to ascertain the prevalent views of bigoted court psychiatrists.)
 with the city of New York walled racially against them," as- serted the author, "Harlem's emo tionally disturbed must turn blind ly to what is nearest at hand for help; to the hordes of petty politi- clans and racketeers; to fantastic forms of violent self-help (crime); to the embracing of ever wilder outlets of racial emotionalism which drives the bewildered men and women to demagogues; to the creation of juvenile gangs which are schools of crime;........to racial outbursts which can lbe described as brutal instances of spontane- ous therapeutics"
 Next cited are the splendid ef- forts of Dr. Wertham of New York, who has established the Le- fartue Clinic for aiding psychiatric cases. Although the city welfare department refuses to recognize the unseIfish work of the staff which volunteers its services to the community, the clinic has conducted research which thas proved that Harlem's high rates of delinquency and nervous break down stem, not from biological pre- toward crime existing in l Negroes, but from an almost total lack of community services to cope with the problems of Harlem's in 
 A definite contribution is con stantly being made by the Lefar- tue in that it 'fhas found that the most consistent therapeutic aid that it can render Harlem's men tally i'll is installing in them what Wertham calls fthe will to survive in a hostile world; that many Negroes sink under their loads be- cause of hopelessness, social fear, worry, illustration, and just plain hunger"

Gershwin Program Attracts
Seasons Top Attendance
By Alice Eyersmon

days of the composer himself anc
Mr.. Wild of recent years through
his repeated performances of the
two piano numbers, the Concerto
in F" and the Rhapsody In Blue
AS heartening as was the turnout
for program of the beloved Amer
ican composers works, it was the
noisiest concert the National Sym
phony has given. Part of it was
due to Gershwin, who has few re-
Elective moments in his compost
tions, but the rest was definitely
the result of the amplification en-
ployed last night. The effect was a
constant blare in which brasses
drums and double brass drowned
out the strings and the violins, when
heard, were shrill and piercing
With all the tumult on the stage, not
one plane passed overhead during
the concert. This was one per-
formance where the sound of their
motors would not have been noticed
The question of amplification has
always been problem at the Water
Gate but by trial and error, it had
been reduced finally to its less
Objectionable point. But whether in
the desire for every one of the vast
crowd to hear it was increased sew
eral degrees, or for some other
reason, it was bad judgment to
select a program of music such as
this to go the limit in sound effect.
For the music of Gershwin is
exuberance itself. The tension is
high at all times, even when the
crashing fullness gives way to a
fairly simple melody. The rhythm,
too, Is virile and exciting, rarely
relaxing its tremendous pulsations.
Its spontaneity and vitality never
flags, even when bound to the
limitations of the Gershwin idiom
in which the composer returns again
and again to the same theme en-
broidering it in different ways but
not enough to disguise it.
SO that something of practically
all Gershwins songs could be heard,

phonic Synthesis" transcribed by
Gregory Stone wherein Strike UP

greatest work, the opera. "Porgy and
Bess,' arranged for orchestra as
"a symphonic picture" by Robert
Russell Bennett, was the high point
of the symphony's program, which
included also the personal exper-
ience of AN American in Paris"
Mr.. Wild played the concerto and
the popular Rhapsody in Blue"
in expert fashion, giving it special
emphasis in the nuances and ac-
centuations he employed. A pianist
of brilliant skill, he has the particu-
lar flair needed for Gershwin's s
music. The performance of the
concerto seemed to be somewhat
in the nature of a battle between
the orchestra and the pianist as to
which would play the loudest, but
