Have Tough Luck In
Dual Meet

ed chilly reception both from

of New York vetoed a bill
aimed at preventing major

price Of two double headers.

aimed chiefly at the Brooklyn
Dodgers practice of splitting
double-headers into morning

separate admission for each.

Lake Success-The United Ma
tons has plunged deeply into the
issue of relationships between the
worlds white and colored races
and at the same time has made
another far-reaching incursion in
to the doctrine of national SOW
ereignty.
This was the two-pronged sig
nificance of a resolution passed by
the Special Political Committee of
the UN General Assembly Nov. 20
rebuking the Union of South
Africa for its policy of racial dis
elimination and calling for a
round-table conference on the
issue.
The complaint was raised pri-
marily by India, many of whose
citizens or former citizens claim
they are victims of the South
African policy. Support for the
move was widespread among the
African, Asian, Middle Eastern,
and South American countries.
The UN did not divide wholly
on racial lines in the voting, al.
though this factor clearly was the
strongest influence in the lineup.

SEVENTEENTH YEAR, NO. IT
OPPORTUNITY NEEDED:
More Jobs, Doctors,
Democracy Needed Here
Panel Speakers Say

New York - (ANP) - More
living democracy, more physi-
clans, and more jobs for Negroes
are what America needs to con-
tinue its roles as a leader of world
thought and progress, according
TO a recent panel held here.
Among the speakers were
Nine. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit,
ambassador of India to the United
States; DR.. Dorothy B. Ferebee, a
physician and also president of
the National Council of Negro
Women, and William j. Knox,
chemist at Eastman-Kodak COM
pany and former atomic scientist.
The subject of the meeting was
America from my Vantage
Point" 1t was sponsored by the
United Negro College fund along
with co-sponsors, various New
York city college clubs of women
and the New York branch of the
American Association of Univer-
sity women.
More DemOcracy-Pandit
Nine. Pandit sounded the basic
theme of the evening-more de-
mocracy. She said:
The average Indian gets his
views of America via Hollywood,
and as you can imagine that is
not the best media. AS a result, so
many people in India think of
America as a land where the
colored people are not given any
opportunities and they are ex-
ceedingly Disseminated against.
For that reason it is impera-
tive that one thing you have
to do is to try and sell your de-
mocracy to us E. to us Of the
East.
THAT can be easily done in
terms of strengthening the de-
mocracy you have and eliminat-
ing the things that weaken it"
Knox emphasized the economic
plight of Negroes. He praised the
recent progress of the Negro in
industry, but also saw the need
for still more jobs. He said:
Too Many Industries
There are still far too many
industries which have not altered
their employment policies and the
number of progressive organiza-
tons is far too small to absorb
all of the available Negro per-
Sonnel
Those who aspire to full parti-
cipation in American life must
St. Paul recorder., 1950-12-01

not lose faith. Some semblance Of
democracy may yet be won by
the American Negro in your time
and in mine"
More Doctors Needed
DR.. Ferebee was very emphatic
in what she said Negroes needed.
She opened her talk by saying:
From my vantage point, 1 be-
lieve America needs more physi-
clans, but especially more Negro
physicians"
She then cited statistics for
the past three years on the edu-
cation Of Negroes In medical
schools In the United States,
particularly In areas where
most Negroes live.
She revealed that In the south
only 235 Negroes were among s.
534 students in this area studying
medicine. In border states, she
said, "only 267 of 5,4s7 students
are colored. She complained:
AT the present rate of train
ing there will be fewer Negro
Negro physicians in 1852 than in
1912, although the Negro popu-
lation is increasing"
DR.. Ferebee offered the follow
ing remedy to the problem she
posed:
I'VE must work to sustain the
high quality of training at the
undergraduate level and streng-
then the existing colleges At
the same time, we must strike at
the heart of racial and religious
barriers in medical education and
eliminate segregation and the
quota system wherever they exist.
"As we increase the profess
sional opportunities fro training
and service, the Negro physician
will take his place in the great
national effort toward safe
guarding the health of the ma
ton"
John Mason Brown, an asso-
ciate editor of the Saturday Re-
view of Literature, served as
chairman of the program. Judge
William H. Haste of the U. s.
Circuit Court of Appeals spoke of
the improved opportunities for
Negroes in government work.
Miss Nell M. Cochrane, presi-
dent of the student council of
Smith college represented youth
on the panel. William J. Trent Jr.,
first executive director of the
UNCF, discussed education.
