Choice OF President Truman For
High State Department Post

Aids Recently Authorized By
Congress
Bunehe Is Authority On Backward
Areas

Washington = DR.. Ralph Bun
che, United Nations mediator for
Palestine, was reported under
consideration Sunday for nomina,
ton as assistant Secretary OF

Informed officials said he is a
likely choice as one of four new
aids to Secretary CT State Acheson
whom congress has been asked to
authorize.
Bunche is regarded as well
qualified for the post of assist
ant secretary for near eastern
and African affairs, or assistant
for United Nations affairs. Of
ficials said selections for all the
prospective new posts were still
open and it is not known whether
Bunche has yet been approached.
Senate confirmation of his no
mination would give Bunche one
of the highest government posts
ever attained by a Negro. He is
Al, a grandson of slave, and
formerly was a professor at Ho-
ward University here.
His success as Palestine media
tor following the death of Count
Folke Bernadotte put him in the
forefront of prospects for both
State department and United Ma
tons appointments.
Creation of four new assist
ant secretaries was recommend
ed by the Hoover commission on
government reorganization. Au-
thOriZation for the additional
posts has been approved by the
senate foreign relations commit
tee. Present state department
plans are to promote two as
sistant secretaries to under-sec-
rotary one of whom bay be Dean

Bunche is regarded as an au-
thority on problems of world
backward areas and colonial peo-
pies. He was associate chief of
the state department division of
dependent affairs, before being
named director of UN trustee
ship division in 1916.

Negro Newspaper Publishers Address
Annual Convention OF Daily
Newspapers
Say Negro Papers Assures Proper
Functioning OF Democratic
Process

New York An appearance
without precedent was made last
week wher President Thomas w.
Young of the Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association addressed
the annual convention of the
daily newspapers of America,
meeting in the Grand Ballroom
of the Waldorf Astoria here, mad
called for closer ties between
the two publishing groups.
1t was coincident that immed-
lately preceding Mr.. Young's pre-
sentation by David w. Howe, pre-
sident of the American Newspap-
er Publishers Association, win
ners in the associations eighth
annual essay contest were an
nounced in which a Negro youth
won second prize, scroll. He is
Clifford F. Johnson of Kenosha,
Wisconsin, a student at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
Mr.. Young was accompanied by
Oowdal H. Davis, vice president
of NNPA and general manager
of the Kansas City Call, when he
told delegates attending the We'd
nesday morning session of the
ANPA that, along with the Church
the Negro press "is the greatest
single factor for molding opin-
ion among our group"
"Our belief" he said, lis that
if this closer relationship and
exchange could be achieved. the
Negro press would be better able
not only to fulfill it's own mis-
sion, but also to make a more
worthwhile contribution to the
maintenance of free Ameri-
ance of a free American press,
and to its wholesome develop
ment. Through your godo exam
pie we would be enabled to do
our part, just as it is the desire
of the readers of the Negro press
to do their part in the building
of American and the upholding
of our tenents of democracy.
THE very existence of these
papers is reinsurance here at
home that our democratic process
es are functioning properly. And
perhaps even more important, it
is a warning to totalitarian in
terests beyond our shores that
in this country our democracy is
still vibrant force" The Jour
nal and Guide published added
also that a minority press will
be necessary $50 long as we
have the kind of society we do
If we are to maintain checks

system"

Miss. Medical And Surgical Asso-
eiatio In Annual Meeting Here LAST
Week
Calls For Negro Doctor Member State
Commission On Hospital Care
Meridian Gets 1850 Meeting

The Mississippi Medical and
Surgical Association holding it's
annual meeting at Summers Ho-
tel here last Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, heard many of it's
members voice the most better
complaint against the denial of
the use of the facilities of state,
county and Federal supported hos
pitfalls to Negro Doctors.
Voicing their complaint to re-
personalities of the press, inr
Guiding Kenneth Toler, Staff
Correspondent of the Commercial
Appeal, whose recent articles on
conditions affecting Negroes in
the state has attracted widespread
attention, the doctors complain
ed that in cases of SURGERY if
their patient is an emergency
case the Negro Doctor is not
allowed to even be with his pat
ient in the operating room, even
though the surgery is being per-
formedformed by the hospital
surgeon. To avoid this humila-
ton, which in many cases affects
both the patient and the doctor
After Doctors drive many miles
at great risk for the patient and
loss of much valuable time in
order to take their patient to
Afro Hospital in Yazoo City or to
. the Taborian Hospital in Mound
Bayou where they can use the
hospital facilities.
The Doctors also took note of
the fact that the association had
not been recognized in the or
ganization of the Mississippi Com
mission on Hospital care. Two
Negro members have been APP
pointed to the Advisory Council.
Both laymen who has had no
training nor experience in Hos
pital management. Acting direct
ly upon this situation a resolu-
ton was adopted calling upon
the Commission to select duly
qualified medical doctors a men,
Der of the Advisory Council and
the Mississippi Commission on
Hospital Care.
During the three day session
the doctors witnessed a number
of films showing the latest adj
vances in surgery and medical
practice and in the use of new
drugs. The endorsement of the
association was given to the
state programs of Medical Scho-
larships, the Nursery Program, as
well as the Blue Cross Plan.
There was no discussion of The
Federal Aid to Health program
recently proposed by President
Truman.
On Thursday a special Lun
cheon was given at Campbell
College.
Departing from a long custom
of meeting here the association
selected Meridian for its 1850
meeting place. Although a strong
bid was presented by Meridian
the opinion was often repeated
that a growing evidence of in
difference to the meeting it's
purpose and program on the part
of the Jackson group was ac-
tually responsible for the selec-
ton of Meridian for the meeting
next year.
