to make such a step possible.

advised that the matter would be
presented to your board that

Medical Society Board
Studies New Appeal
By Co|ored Doctors

A group representing Washing
toms colored doctors has renewed
efforts to gain membership in the
District Medical Society, and has
received word that the question is
before the society's executive
board for study.
The situation was outlined in
two recent letters published in the
current issue of the Bulletin, pub
lication of the Medico- Chiurgical
Society of the District of Colum-
bia. Officials said 207 of the Dis
trict's 226 colored doctors are
members of the latter society.
About one-fourth of the colored
doctors here, officials said,, are
members of the National Medical
Association. Membership in the
American Medical Association,
however, is limited to membership
in constituent county and State
societies, of which the District
Medical Society is representative
here.
While colored doctors have been
invited to scientific meetings held
by the District Medical Society, it
was pointed out that mo satisfac-
tory conclusion" has been reached
on the membership question.
Conference Held in June.
The letters published In the
Bulletin, were between DR.. w.
Montague Cobb, professor of
anatomy at Howard University
Medical School and chairman of
a special committee of his society,
and Theodore WiDrud. secretary
of the District Medical Society.
DR.. Cobb's letter. dated November
5. follows:
Doubtless. you will recall the
conference on June 81 held by
pre-arrangement in your office be-
tween you and DR.. (John) Minor,
then your president, and a COM
mittee from our society composed
of DR.. j. Sinclair Perry, our Presi-
dent, DR.. Edward r. Mazique,
chairman of our committee on
programs, and myself as chair
man, relative to the admission of
Negro physicians to the Medical
Society Of the District of Columbia.
I'VE set forth in brief. that we
were each and all familiar with
the historical background Of the
exclusion of our physicians from
the local medical society and the
significance of such exclusion. We
stated our belief that recent
events such as the admission of
a Negro student to the Medical
School of the University of
Arkansas, the admission of Negro
physicians to the Baltimore Coun-
ty Medical Society, and alteration

they arrive at some decision.
LAS soon as there Is anything
definite to report I will write you
Immediately. In the meantime I
hope that you and your colleagues
will be patient, realizing, as I know
you do, that this is problem in
regard to which there are varying
points of view which somehow
must be resolved"

 LABOR LAW
Senator Aiken Raises 0b. pe(tions 10 Measure
 as Now Framed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-tR- Senator Aiken (R-Vt complained at Senate hearings today that the administrations new labor bill has hardly any teeth at ali' for deal- ing with strikes such as walkout by John l.. Lewis mine workers.
 Secretary of Labor Tobin was be- fore the Senate Labor Committee discussing the new bill when Aiken raised that criticism.
 The administration easure would repeal the Taft Hartley Law wiping out section which lets the government get 80-day court injunctions to prevent national emergency strikes. President Tru- man used that section against a coal strike last year.
 In place of that section, the administration measure would sub stitute 30-day voluntary cooling off procedure. The President would ask the workers to stay on the job for 30 days while an emergency board studied recommendations for a settlement.
 Tn the case of MT. Lewis, that would be hardly any teeth at all unless you might say false teeth" Aiken told Tobin.
 Tobin took the Senate hearing prepared statement saying the administration aim is to replace the Taft Hartley Act with a law "en- couraging free collective bargain ing"

PRESIDENT,
 STALIN MAY
 MEET NOW
Russian Prime Minister Says There Is No 0b-
 lion 10 Conference
By EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, Jan. 31.--lR-- Prime Minister Stalin's latest pronounce mens has convinced many Russians their leader is going to meet Pres ident Truman. Foreign diplomats here are much more caut.ous-even doubtful
 The question: Will Stalin and Truman meet?" is the gambit for many conversations among the Mus covites today and the answers fol- low the same pattern T believe they will"
 [ An American newsman asked Stall in, in writing:
 Would your excellency be prepar- ed to confer with President Truman at mutually suitable place to d.s- cuss the possibility of concluding such pact of peace?"
 STALIN'S REPLY
 Stalin's reply yesterday was:
 T have already stated before that there is no objection to meeting"
 One foreign diplomat commented. .
 Truman has said he'll be glad to meet Stalin in Washington anytime. Now Stalin says there is no objec- tion to a meeting. but notice, the answer is general It does not speci- fly where, or even at mutually suitable place.
 The Russian leader also said the Soviet Government would be willing to discuss a joint declaration of peaceful intentions a nd gradual disarmament.
 OFFERS FOR MEETING
 (Stalin has said previously that he would be willing to meet with Mr. Truman. The President, in turn has offered to meet with Stalin any time the Soviet leader will come to Washington. Officials in Wash ington pointed out, however, that there has been no official approach for such a meeting.)
 In answer to a series of questions, Stalin also said Russia sees no obstacles" to lifting the Berlin blockade if the Western Powers meet two conditions.
 TWO PROPOSALS MADE
 One would be postponement of the establishment of a western Ger man state pending a meeting of the Big Four Council of foreign min- isters on the entire German issue. The other would be lifting of the AL lied counter blockade.
 (The offer to lift the Berlin blockade if the Allies first meet in the Foreign Ministers Council also has been made previously)
 Stalin's statements answered ques- tions submitted by Kingsburg Smith, general European director of the International News Service.
 The statements followed by two days Soviet 34-page white paper asserting the projected North Att lantic Pact is intended to set up American-B British world domination by force

Russian Leader Has Said Similar Things Before
 But Nothing Doing
By The Associated Press)

 Diplomats studied with wary eyes today Prime Minister Stalins lat. est expression of willingness to dis cuss an American-Russian peace pact with President Truman. It was not a new idea. The Rus sian leader has said similar things before and MT. Truman has offered to meet him any time, in Washing ton.
 One main question buzzed through the world ca pi tals. Was Stalin'. statement prompted by propaganda or genuine desire for peace?
 In Washington, the State Depart ment said no formal approach fol a Truman-Stalin meeting had neer made by Russia. Many observer. wondered if one would be. Stalin. latest pronouncement was made il answer to four questions submit ted to him by an American news. man It is a method he has ofter chosen to put his ideas before the public.
 NEW RUSSIAN BLAST
 It was a busy weekend for the Russians.
 Reaction was still re-echoing ir the West over the Soviet foreign office blast against the North At lantic Alliance and the specific Soviet pressure applied on Nor way, pressure interpreted in the West as designed to push that Scan- dlnavian country toward the East
 The Communist newspaper Prav- da devoted nearly two columns to- day to this reaction
 SEVEN NATIONS BUSY
 The seven nation group negotiat- ing the North Atlantic Security Pact in Washington took little note, and let it be known it expects soon to invite a half dozen more nations including Norway, to become full partners in the project.
 Officials in Washington interpret ed the Russian blast at the alliance and Stalin's statement yesterday as part of the same pattern of attack on the growing unity of the non- Communist western world. Some have called it a peace offensive"
 Norway, Sweden and Denmark found themselves unable to agree on joint attitude toward the pro- posed Atlantic Pact.
 Months of negotiation ended yes- terday with Sweden insisting on preserving her neutrality, Norway in favor of joining the Western defense system and Denmark in doubt. The Russian pressure on Norway became puclic only few hours before the negotiations col lapsed.
