BY CONGRESSMAN
VIM. NJ. COLMER

Just prior to the Christmas
holidays the Postwar Econom-
ic Policy Committee of the
House of which he had the hon.
or to be chairman during the
18th and 10th Congresses is
sued its final report and supple
ment thereto dealing with U.

effect of the European situation
on that economy. In the report
of the Committee which was
based upon a study of Europ-
can conditions in the fall of
l945 the committee recon-
mended to the state department
and the administration that
certain policies be followed in
dealing with European eoun-
tries. Among other Things it
recommended that the policy
of appeasement of Russia was
no longer tenabie in the light
of Russia's action. incidentally,
the committee immediately af-
ter its return from Europe had
made e similar reeornmenda-
ton both to the President and
secretary of state as we'll as
to the Congress. In the supple
ment 10 the last report the COM
mittee went further, after an
additional study of the situ-
alton, and recommended that

sition to play ball with the
United States in its goal of
world peace, and until it ac-
cepted the principle of COM

CHICAGO-A group OF white
Chicago doctors has written a pre-
scription for racial harmony.
In an unprecented assault on the
color line. the group has obtained
several thousand dollars from
philanthropic sources and set up
scholarships to young Negro doctors
wishing to specialize.
Moreover, they have enlisted
slate Of white doctors to teach the
Negroes at Provident Hospital here.
The venture is new move to meet
the need for specialists in Negro
hospitals throughout the Nation.
DR.. M. o. Bousfield, technical di-
rector of the sponsoring organiza-
tion-Provident Medical Associates
and former director Of Negro
health for the Rosenwald Founda-
ton, explained the Negro doctors
predicament.
I'm order for a doctor to become
q specialist, he must put in several
years Of study under specialists in
q hospital" he said. But there
have been too few certified Negro
doctors TO teach and too few hos
pitals to teach in.
Want to Train Teachers.
1.-THE project is an effort to de-
velop such doctors who will in turn
teach others.
This cooperation between the
white and colored doctors is another
demonstration that science has no
bounds of color and creed"
The sponsoring group is headed
by DR.. E. v. l.. Brown of the Univer-
sity of Chicago
Ten to Is scholarships will be pro-
vited a year, DR.. Brown said. The
associates also will try to open new
places for study by the Negro doc
tors.
Meantime, they are seeking to
qualify Provident Hospital as
training center by supplying &C
credited consultants in all services
which now do not have them.
Equal In Competence to White.
Experience has shown that when
the Negro doctor is given the same
training opportunities as the white,
he can become equally competent"
DR.. Brown said.
Joining with DR.. Brown in bat
tling prejudice are DR.. Dallas B.

Chicago, who serve as vice president
and secretary, respectively.
Others are:
