Race Problem
Insoluble. Justice
Dept. Official Says

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 26
(NNPA) - Newsmen here took
sharp issue last Tuesday with a
Justice Department official who
contended that the race question is
"insoluble."
Speaking at the weekly Capital
Press Club luncheon at the Charles
Hotel, William A. Coblenz, as
sistant director of information Of
the Justice Department, chided the
press for It's method Of fighting
race hatred and bigotry and de
clared the race question to be in
soluble.
Although he emphasized that he
was opposed to segregation, Mr..
Coblenz cited a large Washington
department store where cOlOred
patronage is not solicited and sug-
gested that colored people should
build your own stores"
Asked to explain why Attorney
General Tom Clark had failed to
invite colored sportswriters to a
national conference of outstanding
sportswriters held here last week
on juvenile delinquency, Mr.. Cob
lenz said he had not handled that
particular project in the Justice
Department but that he felt sure
it had been merely an Oversight"
He added that colored people
should not become aroused at such
"oversights."
In a spirited session following
his talk in which he had invited
his audience to pull off the gloves"
and get down to facts, members Of
the club emphasized to Mr.. Coblenz
that they were at variance with
many of his views and particularly
stressed the point that the Justice
Department should not be guilty of
Overlooking" any one group.
The discussion became particu-
Iarly heated over some "off-the-
record" statements made by Mr..
Coblenz.
Mr.. Coblenz is currently en-
gagged in arranging a special train
which will carry historical docu-
ments including the Emancipation
Proclamation and the Bill of Rights
on a tour Of the nation. The tour
will be sponsored by the Justice
Department and is designed to ease
racial tensions and emphasize civil
liberties.

This committee was appointed
last September TO investigate
charges Of discrimination in profess
sional schools made by the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, the New York
State Committee Against Discrim-
nation in Education, and other or
CARNATIONS.
In its report, the Committee pre-
sents q thorough investigation Of
the admission practices Of Column
bia University's College Of Physi-
clans and Surgeons and Cornell
University's Medical College, based
on private and public hearings Of
leading members of the faculty and
statistics presented by the schools
and by the Commission on Law
and Social Action Of the American
Jewish Congress. Relevant Stats
teal tables Of admissions to New
York Medical College Flower Hos
pitaD, New York University Col
lege of Medicine, and Long Island
College Of Medicine are included.
The evidence gathered by the
Committee shows cOnclusiyely that
the medical schools have a quota
directed against students Of Jewish.
Italian and Negro extraction. The
existence Of a quota against Jews
at Cornell was admitted in a letter
by the former dean Of the Medical
College. Discrimination NJ the other
schools Is shown by the statistical
tables Of admissions Of graduates
from city-supported colleges. These
colleges have higher scholastic
standards than other schools, but
n majority Of the students stem
from the minority groups which
predominant in the City Of New
York.
In the last six years CCNY has
been keeping a record Of its grad
yates who have attained the above
average scholastic record Of A
or better and who have applied for
admission to the FIVE medical
schools located in the City Of New
York. The tables show that the
overwhelming majority Of these
students were rejected without per-
sonal interviews. At the Commit

mitted by faculty members that the
medical schools had accepted stu.

hurch-SpOnsOred Programs
Can Aid Youth Morally

WASHINGTON, ID. G. (NNPA)
- Church-sponsored programs for
juveniles is an important factor in
controlling delinquency, Mrs. Chris
tine S. Smith, president of the Ma
tional Association Of Colored
Women, believes. Mrs. Smith has
just returned to Washington after
finishing a series of National
Church Conferences and state club
meetings throughout the West.
Church workers, she thinks,
should recognize the need Of COM
partnership by young people with
others of like background and as to
faith, economic status, and social
interest. The church alone can pro-
vide for these needs without that
resentment towards professional
social workers that so many young
people feel.

average Of b or less.
"In the absence Of a personal
interview" the Committee report
states, "the excuse that these appIi-
eants we're rejected because Of lack
Of emotional stability or personality
cannot be accepted. There was no
evidence adduced that the records
Of these men. forwarded BY City
College, showed them to be emo
tlOnAlly unstable or lacking In per-
sonality. The fact Of the matter Is
that almost without exception. these
students were recommended for adj
mission by the faculty representa-
tive at City College.
On the other hand, the evidence
before the Committee shows that
the basis for the rejection Of New
York City applicants were the an
swers to irrelevant questions on the
application blank such a. mothers
maiden name," and a photograph Of
applicant. From these, according
to one witness, the admissions COM
mittee would make IA guess" as to
the religion or racial origin Of the
applicant. The report goes on to
say: mot a single professor who
was questioned by the Committee
could tell how he would answer the
question, What ia your racial line

asked on an application.

of Miss Catherine Cooper Reardon,
Washington Cathedral librarian,
died for his crime at 1880 a. M,

a smile on his face, putting a cigar.
He was accompanied by the Rev.
James L. Pinn, pastor of the Good
will Baptist church, who was wit
Messing his forty-ninth execution,
and the Rev. Dan Potter, Jail chap
lain. Entering the chamber shortly
after Copeland's body was removed,
Fisher, unlike his predecessor in the

looked like a man drugged.

the death cell at 1O:43 a. m. His
face never changed as prison Of
ficials fastened him in the chair.
The current was turned on at 10:45.
