Hospital Practice Curbs
On Negro Physicians Hif

Policies restricting the hospital
practice of Negro physicians in the
District to Freedmen's Hospital were
attacked last night by DR.. w. Mon
tague Cobb, president of the Medico-
Chirurgical Society.
In program broadcast by Station
WWDC marking National Negro
Health Week, Dr. Cobb related ef-
forts made by his organization to
lift the color bar at Gallinger Hos
pital.
He pointed out that three-fifths
of Gallinger's patients were colored,
yet that unsupported institution
has no colored doctors on its staff.
"The fact that the Negro physician
is excluded from the staffs of the
voluntary hospitals also" DR.. Cobb
asserted, leaves him without any
institution to which he can take his
private cases from which he derives
his income"

BY the Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, April tn. c. Barron,
an attorney for the railroads, said
a request for increases of from 4
to Is cents 100 pounds on ap-
proximately 100 classifications Of
transcontinental freight would be
filed today with the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The proposed increases, Mr.. Bar
ron said, were decided on after dis
cussion between railroad and steam
ship line representatives which were
held at the suggestion of the ICC
to explore "the possibility Of adjust
ing water and freight rates"
A railroad spokesman said the
steamship lines also were seeking
increases on the grounds that they
have been denied a favorable COM
petitive position by the present
transcontinental rail rates.
The new rate proposal includes
such commodities as canned goods,
aluminium, coffee, drugs and chem
icals, Mr.. Barron said. He added,
however, that the railroads were
ready to give emergency considera-
ton" to adjustment of these rates
after the water lines have pub
lished or publicly announced the
rates they will establish"

DMoIoioy Cites Troops
In China and Doubts
D. 5. viii Fulfill Pact
By shs Asseeios.d prsss

MOSCOW, April T.-Soviet For
elm Minister Molotov noted today
that American troops still we're In
China and said that this raised
doubts as to Willingness TO falfill
the obligations undertaken under
the Moscow agreement Of Decei1-
ber, 1915.
The Soviet news agency Tass
distributed the text Of a 600-word
letter Mr.. Molotov sent Secretary
of State Marshall In reply to the
latters March 16 suggestion for an
exchange Of written information
on China. In his letter Mr.. Molo-
tov reiterated his belief that t.siler
review of the Chinese situation by
the Big Three-Russia, the United
States and Great Britairl-was IN
order during the current Moscow
conference.
Mr.. Molotov was reported to have
sent the letter also to Foreign Sec
|retarv Bevin of Britain--a signatory
|of the l945 China agreement with
the United States and Russia--s. ii
to have sent a copy to the Chinese
Ambassador to Moscow. Mr.. Bevin
has taken the position that the
matter is one for the United States.
the Soviet Union and China to han
|dle. China has opposed any such
|discussion-from which she is ex-
|cluded-a position concurred In by
Gen. Marshall.
Doubts Of Public Opinion.
The Soviet government deems 1t
desirable, as it did earlier. Mr..
Molotov write. that the ministers
OF foreign affairs of the states which
participated in the t1945) Moscow
conference, now staying in Moscow,
exchange information in respect to
FfuIfillment OF the agreement on
China. -
The existing situation In this re-
spect is not satisfactory. evoking
the doubts of public opinion as to
willingness to fulfill the obligations
undertaken under the above agree
ment."
y Mr.. Molotov recalled that at the
1945 conference the Soviet Union
and the United States agreed to
Withdraw their forces from China at
"the earliest possible date compat-
ible' with their obligations and re-
sponsibilities.
{ Cites Soviet Fulfllment.
He said the Soviet government
had fulfilled on time its commit
ment" by evacuating the last Soviet
troops from Manchuria on May 81,
1916. He noted that almost q year
had passed since.
Not only has the evacuation of
the American troops not been COM
pleted," he declared. "but It is gen.
orally unknown when the United
States of America will fulfill the
obligation to withdraw American
troops from China"
In quoting Mr.. Molotov, Tass also
briefly reported Gen. Marshall's
letter to Mr.. Molotov to the effect
that the United States by June I
expected to have all its troops out
of China except $3.50 which would
stay at Chinese government request.
