Magazine Attacks
Medical School
Racial Quotas

NEW HORk.-Our Negro citi-
gems are in acute need Of medical
attention but only 80 to 100 Negro
doctors are graduated each year
from our colleges, because most Of
our 81 medical schools bar Negroes
completely. Only eight to 10 are
admitted each year to Northern
and Western colleges.
This report is given by Albert
Q. Maisel, medical writer, in q
signed article in the current issue
Of Golfers. The article deplores
discriminatory practices against
Negroes and Jews and other factors
which have resulted in a eutback
IN the enrolment Of medical stu
dents.
Need Is Tremendous
"Despite the tremendous need Of
our Negro citizens for medical care,
our schools have been producing
fewer and fewer Negro physicians, I"
Maisel says. "Ths reason for the
BhrinkAge In easily found. There
are two colleges--Howard Univer-
atty and MehRrry Medical College
which are primarily for Negroes.
Together they graduate between
30 and ITO doctors . year. Most
Of the 81 other medical schools bar
Negroes entirely. This 10 true not
only In the South. Many Northern
and Western college has not Ad-
mitted . Negro student In more
than . decade. Only eight 10 n
Negro students q year are admitted
70 all the medical colleges other
than HOWARD and MoharTy."
DiserimIAats Against Jews Also
Malssl charges that our medical
schools, though they will not adj
init Il, discriminate TO % lesser
degree" against Jews. "Some
schools, which formerly admitted
a. high 90 20 per cent Of Jewish
students have-in recent years
he says, reduced their proportion
10 90 low as Ave to seven per cent
Of each entering class"
Blames ANA. Fer Cuts
MAissl charges that the Ameri-
can Medical Association, which
plays q major role" In determining
the policies Of medical schools, has
been influential in cutting back the
enrolment Of medical students in
the postwar years. He points out
the serious national need for more
physicians.
"The American Medical Associa-
ton has given the Education De-
velopment bill almost no support"
Malsel adds This bill provides for
federal aid In building hospitals
and providing medical scholarships
and Is now pending in Congress.
"The ANA IL afraid that federal
scholarships and federal support"
he says. may prove an entering
wedge for federal health and in
surancs."
