HOSPITAL GROUP WILL MEET
ON NURSE SITUATION

Chairman of the county board
of supervisors this morning call
ed a meeting of the county farm
and hospital committee to clarity
the situation under which the hos
pital has been without registered
nurses for the past two and one
half days.
Glynn White, the board chair
man, told reporters this morning
that he was still in the dark on
the emergency and that he had
called the meeting TO be held in
the courthouse this evening.
Supervisor j c. V. Taylor,
chairman of the committee, said
this morning that he understood"
that meeting had been called and
that he expected 70 attend.
When asked whether anf reg
istered nurses had been hired Tay-
lor replied, II haven't been up"
Asked whether anybody else had
hired any nurses he said his com
mittee would do the hiring "af-
ter We make some contacts"
The Homer supervisor had said
last week that he did not expect
to hire any nurses until the mid
die Of this week. Until then, he
said, the hospital would be oper-
ated by practical nurses and nur-
SEES aides.
The hospital emergency arose
Friday when all the registered
nurses quit after having threaten
ed to do so for weeks.
The situation was viewed as
critical last Tuesday when the
county board of supervisors met.
Taylor's committee was authoriz
ed TO offer premiums to get
nurses, il that were necessary.
Taylor refused TO state whether
premiums were being offered.

AMERICAN GROUP TOURS
WEST GERMANY. DENIES
RACIAL. EXPLOITATION

frankfurt, Germany, Sept. D.
A group of American Negro
students and their professor are
touring Western Germany to tell
the Germans 'the full truth about
America
And in this country where ra-
cial discrimination led to the ex-
termination of millions, they have
found now a wonderful spirit In
improving human relations.
They have found people in this
country more interested i'm the Ne
gro problem than anywhere else.
Prof. Clennon King of the Va.
Union University, Richmond, Va,
said discussions with young Ger
mans on the racial issue would
have lasted days IL circumstances
had allowed it. These discussions
showed wonderful spirit Pro
lessor King said.
The main goal of the tour is
ito cruside actively with the truth
about democracy against Commu-
mist propaganda, particularly from
the viewpoint Of Negro Ameri
cans" they said.
Prof King got the idea on his
first visit to Europe and Germany
last year. He said he and the stu
dents who accompanied him then
were disturbed when they noticed
that most Europeans thought that
American Negroes are exploited
on level little better than slavse.
This doctrine has been preached
by both Naxis and Communists.
I'VE know how false this propa-
ganda isl says the group. 1T is
an indisputabie fact that by and
large. the u. s. offers supreme
opportunities for colored people"

Beet Harvest in
Hardin Area
Nears Completion

Beet harvest in the Hardin
factory district of Holly Sugar
corporation was delayed slight
ly this week by rain which fell
Monday, but company agricul-
tural department officials said
the harvest would be completed
this week if present good Wea-
ther holds.
Harvest was more than 95
per cent complete last night, Of
ficials said, with between three
and four hundred acres remain
ing to be put over the scales.
Indications are that the sea-
sons production in the Hardin
area will he slightly under 100,-
900 tons. Yield per acre is eX-
pected to average about 1914
tons, the department reported,
and an above-normal sugar
content even higher than ex-
pected, is evident, officials re-
ported.
With the major of the har-
vest completed, Mexican ma
tionals brought here to aid in
the harvest are beginning to re-
turn home.
