WASHINGTON. - Is N 50 -
Delegates from the governments
of India and Ceylon met with the
Combined Food Board last week
and explained the critical food sit
uatinn in their countries.
The Indian delegate pointed out
that his country-which had just
suffered the worst drought in so
years-faced mass starvation I'M
less her urgent need for wheat
and rice is met through imports.
He said that India needs to inn
port minimum of two million
tons of cereals-principally wheat
and rice-during the six months
ending June 80, and an additional
two million tons during the second
half of 1916.
Ceylon's delegate stated that As
900 tons of rice and flour are need
ed each month in order to main
tain even the present stringent
cereal ration of t,200 calories IN
his country.
/ The Minister of the South At
rican Legation also will meet with
Representatives of the Combined
Food Board to discuss the cereal
needs of his country that have
arisen as result of serious
drought.
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
p. Anderson told representatives
of the food trades industries meet
ing here on March s that India
has asked for four times more food
grains than their earlier requests
totaled. He said that this was due
to drought which had seriously re-
duced all grain crops in India.
Pointing to the increased needs
for food abroad. the Secretary
urged the food industry represent
atives to develop conservation
program that will make it possible
for this country to ship more food
to starvation areas.
present export needs for wheat
total 201a million tons and only
liz to 1919 million tons are in
sight," he said, '3in all the coun-
tries where wheat is produced for
export. The Unite3 States has UNI
dertaken to supply a million tons
of wheat monthly for the first half
of 1916, but shipments SO far this
year have fallen below that rate.
As step toward further assur-
ing food for the starving peoples
abroad, Secretary Anderson has
designated State and county emer-
gency food program managers to
help speed the job of supplying

| The institution last month.
Mr.. Sweat, backed by a com
nittee. told the university regis
trar he desired to take law
course and no colored schools in
Texas provide such training. This
was the first instance where col
ored student has sought to enter
the university, and the acting pres
ident, L. S. Painter, Immediately
asked the Attorney General for an
opinion.
Mr.. Sellers held that while the
university could refuse to admit
colored students, it was manda-
tory that the State owned colored
university at Prairie View provide
law or any other kind of training
for any culored person who de-
mandS it upon reasonable no.
tice."
MUST ADMIT HIM
In case the kind of course he
seeks is refused at Prairie View,
then the University of Texas must
admit him. the ruling held.
This office, like the courts of
this State, is bound by the deci-
sions of the Supreme Court of the
United States, and in consequence
there is no doubt that if equal
educational advantages are not
provided for the applicant within
the State, he must be admitted to
the Law School at the University
of Texas, Mr.. Sellers stated.
The Attorney General ruled,
however, that it was not required
that the State maintain in idle
ness facilities at Prairie View to
teach law, medicine, etc, to col
ored persons. However, as soon as
there is demand for any course
and one students request constl-
tutes demand, the colored college
must install the facilities or else
the colored applicant is entitled to
attend the University of Texas.
PROFESSIONALLY DUTY
Mr.. Sweat sought entrance to
the university under the Supreme
Court ruling in the Gaines case IN
which Mr.. Sellers noted that the
Supreme Court held that IT was
,nauestionably the duty of the
State to provide equal educatlonal,
advantages within the State and
that if such was not done it would
constitute a discrimination In vlo-
lation of the Constitution OF the
United States.
The last Legislature, in view OF
the Gaines decision, pushed a stat
ute providing that whenever there
was anv demand the board OF d-
rectors Of A. and nj. College,
branch of the university, was au-
thorized to provide for estapisn-
ment Of courses in law, medicine,
engineering, pharmacy, iounaaism,
or anv other generally recognlzea
course taught at the UNIVERSITY OF

The article, SURGEON OF DE-

Today, at his post in Harlem Hos

doctors, for most of New York s
Negro surgeons have come up I'M

The story of DR.. Wright's in.
spring achievements begins in
1917, continues CORONET, when
the United States entered World
War |. Then 26, Wright left his
practice in Atlanta to volunteer
for the Army. At the time, it was
the rule to vaccinate against
smallpox by scratching vaccine
into the skin. The young Negro
doctor observed that this technique
involved large percentage of re
peats and one day at Camp Uptor
he made a revolutionary expert
ment: he injected vaccine by hypo
dermic needle under the skin. Il
worked. "No takes" were virtually
eliminated. Today Wright's meth.
cd is recognized as the best meth
cd of vaccination.
LEADING AUTHORITY
His original work on the treat
ment Of skull fractures and brain
injuries has made him a leading
authority in that field. He invent.
ed the brace used in the transpor.
tation and handling of patients
with neck injuries. His report OF
the treatment of rupture of the
spleen, published in 1889, is 9
classic, and right now he is max
ing a study of lymphogranuloma
an infection of the glands which
has been the subject of little orig
inal research in this country.
Wright was guided into medl-
cine by his step-father, DR.. Viii.
liam Fletcher Penn, graduate OF
Yale Medical School, who paic
Louis expenses through Harvard
at a period when most Negro stu
dents worked as redcaps and Pull
