New Vets HOSPITAL
For White Patients
Writes Brooks HAYS
VA Deviiates
Army Policy

II this letter reproduced
here isn't another of Brooks
Hays fantastic connections,
as the civil rights compromise,
the Negro veterans dream of
convaIescing in the new Little
Rock hospital is shattered.
Mr.. Hays writes that he has
checked with the Veterans Adj
ministratlon personnel office
and was advised that the new
Little Rock hospital will be for
white patients.
This letter is an answer to
an inquiry from Negro doc
tor in Arkansas who is a vet
eran Of World War II himself,
concerning possibility OF en-
ployment when the hospital o.
pens.
According to Mr.. Hays, the
new hospital will stand out as
the first to exclude Negroes
in the veterans h ospitaIs
throughout the country, as far
as the PRESS was able to
learn.
The PRESS was aIerted
many months ago through Me-
gro representatives Of labor
that construction on the new
hospital was a white mans
Job, but was unaware that
Negro veterans would be ex-
cluded from the hospital.
The new hospital is located
on Roosevelt road and repre-
sents a s11,5oo,O00.0o project.
The hospital when completed
in the next few months will
have a capacity for 500 beds.

 NEAR MIAMI
.2S Missing as Craft Down al Sea : Among 5000
 Puerto Rieans Arriving

MIAMI, Fla, June 64R-Thc destroyer USS Saufley radioed to- day that 1t had picked up 37 sur viyors of a twin-engine airplane which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean 275 miles northeast of here.
 Those saved included the pilot, Joseph Halsey Seattle.
 There was no report on the re- mainder of the 65 passengers and crew on the plane.
 The destroyer informed Coast Guard headquarters in Miami that all the survivors picked up were fin good condition"
 The destroyer's message:
 Recovered 37 survivors. All in rafts. Pilot believes remainder have life jackets. Continuing coordinate search with planes and picking up all empty rafts."
 The pilots belief that all the missing passengers had life jackets raised hopes that loss of life would be small
 However, a B-l7 coming in to a Navy master field to refuel radioed the Coast Guard that the survivors included 34 passengers and three crew members.
 Among the crew members saved. the plane reported. were Pilot Hal sey of Seattle, and Co-Pilot William Holleran.
 The plane added: Doubt if there any more survivors"
 Earlier, a Coast Guard aircraft, circling over the rescue scene. re- ported B survivors were found. But another plane of the Westair com
 pany which participated in the search reported seeing 45 in the life rafts.
 All the passengers were migratory workers from Puerto Rico. enroute to the United States. The plane was enroute from San Juan, Puerto Rico. to Wilmington, ING. when motor failed. It made a futile attempt to reach Nassau. The rescue came almost exactly year after a transport plane went into the Atlantic on the takeoff from San Juan to Miami, killing 53 persons. The date was June z, 1949.
 Survivors were plucked from the sea today less than 10 hours after the stricken aircraft's pilot mes saged. Tt looks like I'm going into the drink"
 The C-46 originally was designed as a long-range freight carrier but was taken over by the Army and Navy during the war and rede- signed as a troop carrier and cargo transport.

Race Between Roosevelt, Warren Has Politics
 Watching
(By the Associated Press)

Nby tllc ftSSUCldtcu EICoot
 Politicians with an eye on rla- tional trends turned to the hol California primaries today, to watch the fortunes of Democrat James Roosevelt and Republican Earl Warren in the race for Gov ernor.
 They were busy, too. appraisine the results of yesterdays Senatorial primary elections in Iowa. There Republican votes gave Senator Hic- kenlooper a wide margin for re- nomination and early Democratic returns built lead for Albert Love- land, who campaigned for the Sen atorial nomination as packer of the Grammar farm plan.
 Hickenlooper has figured on the national scene most prominently as an investigator of the workings ot the Atomic Energy Commission, and lately as a member of the Senate group checking into charges of Communism in government.
 Hickenlooper's race against two Republican primary opponents was not even close.
 However, Loveland's bid for the Democratic nomination was con- tested by five opponents. Chiei among these was former Gov. Nel- son G. Kraschel. who fought the farm plan advocated by Secretary of Agriculture Grammar. This plan enyisages the use oi payments from the government tc farmers to maintain their income in case prices for their perishable pro- ducts fall low on an open, unsup- ported federal market. Loveland re- signed as Undersecretary of Agri- culture to make the Senate race ir Iowa, and the outcome has been awaited as a possible index tc farmer sentiment toward the Bran- nan plan.
 In California today, over 2,000,00t voters were taking part in primary elections in which state law permits candidates to file for nomination by the opposing party as well as theii own.
 Thus, two-term Gov Warren Republican, was also pitted against Roosevelt, son of the late President in the Democratic primary fol , Governor. And Roosevelt was in the Republican primary against War ren.
 Otherwise, on today's politica menu there were:
 The bid for renomination 1T South Dakota of Senator Char Gurney, Republican, opposed by Francis Case. veteran member oi the House. Five candidates are run ming for the Republican Governor nomination.
 A four-man race for the Demo- cratic nomination to be Governor of New Mexico. They include Davic Chavez, brother of Senator Chavez.

M((arthy Has New
 Charge,

WASHINGTON, June 6-tR-Sen- ator Mccarthy (R-Wis.) said today the FBI three years ago listed B persons in the State Department as Communists or party agents and that three are "still holding high positions.
 To back up his statements made in Senate speech, Mccarthy pro- duced what he said was a docu- ment prepared by State Depart ment investigator for the benefit of the departments security div ision. This paper quoted FBI re- ports.
 After reading from the paper without saying what it was, Mc- Carthy identified it in response to questions from Senator Knowlano tR-CalifD.
 Knowland called the material by far the most significant direct evidence" thus far presented In the controversy over McCarthy's charges of Communism in the State Department.
 Knowland told the Senate that it's foreign relations subcommittee now investigating McCarthy's char ges, would be "derelict" if it did not immediately exercise its sub poena to get the original docu- ments.
 He added that unless the persons named by the FBI were removed it seems to me there may be a case for impeachment somewhere along the line
