Medical School
Applications
Free of Any Bios

We are proud of the fact that
the University of Washington
School of Medicine, one of the
most outstanding in the country,
selects students on the basis of
qualifications without regard o
race, creed or color. The only re-
striction is that 85 per cent of the
students must be residents of the
State of Washington since this is
a state-supported institution.
Last year there were approx
mately 5000 inquiries from pros
pective students, 1900 preliminary
applications, and 600 completed
applications. Two hundred of these
met admission standards, seventy
five were admitted.
Last week we conferred with
Dean Edward L. Turner, MD. He
reaffirmed the statements he made
to US shortly after his arrival in
Seattle regarding the non-discrim-
inatory policy of the School of
Medicine. We are fortunate in hav-
ing as head of our School of Medi-
cine a man who has worked with
members of various racial groups
over a period of years. From 1928
to 1885, DR.. Turner was on the
staff of the American University
Of Beirut, Labanese Republic. "I
learned then" he told your execu-
tive secretary recently, that a
mans ability and skill has nothing
to do with his color or religion"
after he returned to
America to re-enter private prac-
ti"e. the Rockefeller Foundation
askeu him to accept a position as
Professor Of Medicine at Meharrv
Medical College, Nashville, Ten
nessee, Negro medical school.
1t was challenging offer and DR..
Turner accepted with the under
standing he would reorganize the
school and establish standards
comparable to medical schools for
white students. He was subject to
much criticism when only 81 stu
dents were accepted the following
year. However, 56 of the original

Civil Rights Congress
Asks for Proclamation

The Washington State Civil
Rights Congress this week issued
press statement hailing the Spo-
kane jury decision in favor of Miss
Hazel Scott, noted Negro pianist,
denied service in a Pasco restaur-
ant, as an important victory for
the liberties Of the people.
1--WE believe that this victory for
the rights of the Negro people
provides splendid occasion for
follow-up action which will bring
to an end the insulting and I'M
lawful denial of service to Ameri-
cans because of their race creed
or color. re-
1--WE ask that you as chief law
enforcement officers of the state,
issue proclamations dealing with
this matter. We suggest that you
call to the attention of all persons
living in this state and to all wis.,
tors that 1909 law (Rem. Rev.
Stat. 26a6)l makes it a crime to
deny service in a public place to
any person because of race, creed
or color. 1t is highly important
that this proclamation go to al
state, county, and local law en-.
forcement officers, who, in the
main, appear not to know of thi.
law.
Such a proclamation calling fol
the full application of this Law
would do much to guarantee to al
persons in our state their Ameri
can rights"
Sincerely,
JOHN DASCHBACl
Director.

we will be glad to talk with you as
soon as there is an opening.
Old American does not rate Me-
groes because of race as does so
many other companies.
"Since my employment with Old
American Life Company, I have
received two promotions In Janu-
airy. 1850. Bruce Rowell and I
were promoted to general agents

and training men to sell Savings

Bruce Rowell is among our top
agents, and I wish to take this
opportunity to say Thanks to him.

mendation that I am holding my
present position"
Joseph A. Smith came from
Missouri to Seattle in 1929. At
tended Garfield High school,
served in the Merchant Marine
during the war, and was on a
Liberty ship which was torpedoed
and sunk in the Gulf or Alden.
Aboard the same ship was another
Seattleite, Mr.. Ben Beasley, owner
and proprietor of the Mardi Gras.
Joe was one of the first Negroes
to hold a pilots license in the
Pacific Northwest, and is now an
active member of 1.-THE Flying
Sportsmen."
Saving is, or should be, the
ambition of everyone, and Joe feels
that he could be in no better bust
ness than Selling Savings plans.

suit Of these conferences. 26 cleri-
cal and professional persons, as

ton Company. during 1947. 1913,
and 1949. While in Richland, the
Urban League had been advised
that the new construction program
for the Atomic Commission would
employ some $4,000 construction
workers. Persons who had worked
on the project in 1947, 1948, and
1949 for the A. and ]. Construction
Company, were eligible for reem-
ployment. In January and Feb
ruary, the Urban League called in
some 280 persons who had been
formerly employed at Richland.
During the latter part of February
and the month of March, these
persons, together with some ITO
additional persons who had been
employed at Richland. and who
came voluntarily to the offices
Of the Urban League, were directed
to seek their old jobs at Richland.

!. !. A. Begins Fund
|Ruising Curnpoign

The Finance Committee of the
International Improvement Associ.
alton, launched its Embarrassing
drive this week. it was announced
today by Committee Chairman
Tad Yamaguchi.
With minimum objective OF
$4,000 to finance the general stag
ing of the International Carnival
to be held August IT, 18, 10, in
the South District Area, the COM
mittee and its 40 solicitors are
hard at work.
Messers Arthur King, Charles
Winston, and Wendell Clausen are
other finance committee members.
A bigger fund will mean a bet
ter carnival With this in mind,
the committee is shooting for the
largest sum of money possible
as well as swelling membership
in the International Improvement
Association. 1t is also reported
that full membership in the asso-
citation is extended to all contrib
utors.
Mr.. Alexander Bishop, druggist,
and membership chairman, an.
nounced there are approximately
rs members in the association now
and $3.50 in funds and pledges.
Most of the contributors and
pledgers have been local business
men living in the South District.
However, other business concerns
and individuals are expected to
contribute.
The International Carnival, now
a part of the Seattle Seafair, is
expected to be a great success.
Colorful costumes will spark the
parade, elaborate Negro decora-
tons will hang side by side with
many Japanese and Chinese and
Caucasian displays. Jackson st.
may well become 'the talk of the
town"
I'VE feel certain our financial
campaign will be such a success
Seattle will be proud to visit our
area and see what we can do"
said Mr.. Bishop.
This financial campaign viii
continue for at least two weeks.

Earl zelley. district manager for
Old American Life Co., who trained
Joe Smith for this work. says,
Being the top agent in any big
company Is the dream Of all
agents. To have accomplished this
during the first year with the
company means that you have out
produced the agents in the other
states and different parts of the
world where the company Is rep
resented.
That record will stand for
some time and It has given Joe

made his first parachute jump.
As a result of peacetime service
in Europe, South America and the
Far East, Taylor speaks fluent
French, Spanish and Japanese.
To these he is adding German.
Every day at lunch, which he
takes in his Office, there's "A
German grammar i'm front of
him. Later in the day, he tries out
phrases on three German tennis
professionals with whom he plays
a fast daily game of doubles near
headquarters.
General Taylor hasn't much lei
sure for what social life exists in
Berlin's American colony. He lives
quietly with his wife and 14-year-
old son, Tom, and confines his
entertaining to official functions.
His elder son. John, is a sopho-
more at Williams.
How long he'll remain in Berlin
is speculative question. There is
some opinion that it's just mat
ter of time before he ends up as
Chief of Staff.
No Fanfare for Him
HIS qualifications are just about
ideal for the Army's top job: dis
tinguished combat record, world
wide assignments, term l945-
l949) as superintendent of West
Point, and now a tour of duty at
the Army's most important diplo-
matte post in Europe.
If General Taylor is thinking
along these lines, he is keeping his
thoughts to himself. He does his
job quietly and without fanfare.
Chances are that this calm.
rugged general will be the boss
of this vital American enclave
for the next couple of years.
That is. provided the cold war
doesn't get any warmer.
But if the worst should happen
this coming month, when the
Russians step up their pressure to
drive us out of their newest satel-
lite capital, it's a safe bet that the
man who didn't get to Bastogne
on time will be glad to tell the
Reds in Berlin what he would like
to have told the Nazis five years
ago.

is nuts. The End
