Germans in reconstructing Europe
were being scaled down today as

deputy foreign ministers wrestled
with the problem of meeting re-
parations claims while ruling Out
any possibility that Germany again
would become an economic menace
AT the end of their third week
of consultations on the German

deputies were faced with the most
difficult phases of their work

didn't take a family's fortune for
a funeral.

A funeral director was simply
referred to as a "coftin maker"
He and other specialists of his
community comprised the group
responsible for the entire burial
service, not including the roster OF
ministers who for hours eulogized
the graces and good deeds of the
dead.

the funeral we're invariably made
in the strict privacy of the
''morgue," usually a tiny room in
the rear of the towns general store
where occasional visitors found a
succession of awe-ful properties,

were brought, shortly after he had
been processed Cor burial. Tea

ments or what they had often re-
quested to be buried with them.
The superstitious always placed
a saucer of salt or some such item
on the breasts of the deceased to
frighten away evil spirits. Various
other arrangements for this pur-
pose were carried out by friends
and members of the family.
Funerals then were priced con-

This included everything except the
fees for the numerous ministers

above the paupers burial, runs
close to $3.50, according to local
morticians)
The most expensive item, barring
the purchase of the "coffin" and

Chicago Doctors
Write Prescription
For Racial Harmony

Chicago, Ill. Especially - A
group of white Chicago doctors
have written a prescription for
racial harmony.
In an unprecented assault on
the color line, the group has OBJ
tanned several thousand dollars
from philanthropic sources and
set up scholarships to young he
gro doctors wishing to specialize.
Moreover, they have enlisted
slate ofw hite doctors to teach
the negroes at Providence Hospi-
tai here.
The venture is a new move to
meet the need of specialists in
negro hospitals throughout the
Nation.
DR.. M. o. Bousfield, technical
director of the sponsoring orga-
nization Providence Mercal As
socates - and former Director OF
negro health for the Rose1fwald
Foundation, explained the negro
doctors predcament.
an order for a doctor to be-
come a specialist, he must put in
several years of study under the
specialists in ahos pital," he said.
But there have been too few
certified negro doctors to teach
and too few hospitals to teach in.
1.-THE projects is an effort to
develop such doctors who will In
turn teach others.
"This cooperation between the
white and colored doctors Is an
other demonstration that science
has no bounds Of color and creed.
The sponsoring group is headed
by DR.. e. v. L. Brown of the Uni
versity of Chicago.
"Ten to Is scholarships will be
provided a year," DR.. Brown said.
The associates also will try to
open new places for study by the
negro doctors.
Meantime, they are seeking to
qualify Provident Hospital as a
training center by supplying &C
credied consultants in all services
which now do not have them.
Experience has shown that
when the negro doctor is given
the same training opportunities
as the white, he can become equal
ly competent" DR.. Brown said. ,

|LSU Student Vote
Inter Racial
Conference

Baton Rouge, La, (DSN)
Students OF Louisiana State Uni

animous approval to a vroposal
to call a separate conference of
the Louisiana, Arkansas and Miss
issivpi schools represented in the
National Student Association if
both White and Negro representa-
tievs would be present.
The conference would be held

the outgrowth ola ction by Lloyd

ter receiving a letter from Xavier

details concerning the conference
of Southern and Southwestern
schools, following which the stu
dent council voted to exlude repre-
hentatives from the conference of
the Southern and Southwestern

On Thursday following the ex-
clusion vote, an editorial in the

"This is the time for love, the
council and the University to take
the lead against the ell within

that would live in the hearts of
