CHICAGO lamp A local
Chicago Negro member Of the
American M deal association
came out this week with q start
ling indictment Of the ANA for is
recent refusal TO remove racial
bars from various member organ
iEations excluding Negro phySi-
clans.
DR.. Carl Glennis Roberts, con-
sidered TO be one Of the fair
haired" Negro members Of the as
ISOLATION. said:
The rejection Of the proposed
amendment submitted by the New
York society to the ANA house Of
delegates In the recent Chicago
meeting represents a temporary
triumph Of the forces Of bigotry
and reaction"
In scoring the ANA for its pas
sage Of the racist Georgia resolu-
ton, he said:
1T presents the ANA before o
world struggling 10 preserve de-
mOcracy rs a reRctionary organi-
ration which places So-called
states rights above human rights.
Shall organized medicine any
where in this country use the
color Of skin 20 exclude any doc
tor otherwise perfectly qualified
10 join its ranks and be entitled
TO its protection and privileges7
This Is the one issue at stake.
The ANA sits as Judge and
jury in determining admissibility
to hospital STATS and qualifications
for membership in the special So
cieties. ALI doctors must depend
upon use Of hospital facilities and
membership in specially boards TO
practice their profession.
Primary membership in the
ANA Is essential as a preliminary
10 the other privileges. How can II
permanently exclude Us from
membership and then penaliEe US
because we are not members7
Continued refusal Of equity
and justice will drive US to sup
port q government control that
will provide a remedy. Through
its recent action the ANA has
done much to hasten this day. Our
efforts will be undated until jus

Here is the seven-point world peace
plank in the Wallace platform as re-
ported by Associated Press:
1. Establish a UN reconstruction
fund, similar to UNRRA, to place war
devastated lands in Europe and Asia
on a seIf-sustaining basis.
2. The fund to be administered by a
UN agency established for that pur-
pose.

Union urged passage of the Harlow
bills during the last session. These
bills, designed to increase individual
income taxes in the higher brackets
and step up the corporation license
tax, would have brought several mil
lions to the state school fund An
other bill supported by the Joint Tax
Study Committee was that eliminating
the exemptions of federal tax pay
mentS on state income returns and
would have brought several Hundred
thousand to the state treasury without
changing the amount paid by the tax
payer. Through revenues produced
by these bills the amount of state con-
tribution to local education could have
been increased considerably beyond
the % percent paid in 1945-1946.
A fundamental step in an improved
taxing program for Montana, in the
view of the Joint Tax Study commit
tee, is study of present resources
in order that tax laws may be passed
to secure enough money, on an ability
to pay basis, to permit the state to
contribute at least so percent of the
cost of maintaining the elementary
and secondary schools and meet the
increased needs of the Greater Uni |
versity.
The resources to be studied would |
include all land, including agricul-
.ural, forests and mineral wealth, and |

such a study as the first step
in establishing an equitable tax
structure that will produce the

The letter suggested that the Uni
versity of Montana Montana State
College and the Montana School of
Mines cooperate in carrying on the
study along with the State Board of

The failure of the last legislative
assembly to take a realistic view of
the school financing problem has
forced most school districts in the
state to increase their levies, thereby
aggravating an already distorted and
unequal burden on property. In many
districts the levies are only a pallia-
tive treatment, permitting schools
barely to meet the teacher salary
emergency and allowing little oppor-
tunity to improve Institutional equip

vide services and facilities for worth
