NEGRO SCIENTISTS DISCOVERY
MAY LEAD TO CURE FOR POLIO
Results On Mice Proves Benefits
Obtained From SuIfa Drug
Dogs And Monkeys To Be Tested

CHICAGO = A young Negro
scientist captured the attention of
the medical research world last
week as he unfolded results of his
experiments with mice that may
lead to the cure of infantile paraly-
sis in human beings.
Charles D. Proctor, o7-year-old
research assistant in physiology at
Loyola University Medical School,
told of his experiments with new
sulfa compound during an address
before the Sigma X honorary
science fraternity at the Universe
ty of Illinois professional college.
Like most true scientists, Proc
tor declined to make generous pre-
dictions as to the success of his
drug on human beings, but results
of laboratory work with $50 mice
gave encouragement to research
men and new hope for sufferers of
polio.
Proctor broke with the usual
pattern of polio research nearly
two years ago by leaving the field
of animal serums and concentrat-
ing on the use of sulfa drugs. He
worked with sulfa compound
known as phenolfadiazine. To
launch the experiment, Proctor and
his associate, c. L. Byrd, 32-year-
old California Negro infected 90
mice with the deadly Lansing
strain" polio. Seventy-one of these
animals survived after treatment
with the Proctor compound. AS
control measure, he infected 80 9TH
ers with the same polio strain, but
did not use the sulfa compound.
Only one survived.
However, this overwhelming sue
cess with his sulfa development has
not made him over anxious to use
it on human beings. Experiments
with the monkey are next on the
agenda. Proctor points out that

A huge table laden with all kinds

Stupidity Major
Stumbling Block
OF Negro Masses

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-Stupidity
the major stumbling blocks of the
Negro masses, George Schuyler
told capacity crowd of 1000 per-
sons at John Wesley Methodist
church in Brookhaven Sunday. The
widely known writer, lecturer and
radio commentator said the Para
gon Progressive Federal Credit
Union offers the type of solution
that can solve the Negroes prob
lem. The occasion was the celebra-
ton of the unions tenth anniver-
sary, which was highlighted by the
annual report showing more than
half a million dollars in assets.
Negroes need to get up off
their knees and stand on their own
feet" Schuyler told his listeners.
at appears" he said, "that host
of our people have an idea that the
government is going to take care
of them. They spend money as
fast as they get it on good times
and frivolities and rely on agen-
cies for security when it is all
gone"
They go to loan places often.
These money lenders tie them up
and they are never able to get free
in many instances" he stated.
"Minorities run the world" the
noted writer said. "That is why we
have no excuse to man over our
predicament as a minority group,
but we need to do something about
it. | have found that most of the
people of the world are poor. 1t
is these small groups who put their
money to work who are on top.
Build your finance and you build
power.
eff we could get people of our
group to do as these members of
the Paragon Credit Union have
done, we could accomplish more
than through the FEPC, picket
line or any of these pressure ac-
TONS" the speaker stated.
Schuyler also struck at the
propaganda of dependency so at
tached to the race 1.-THE cries of
slums and poverty so predominant
about the Negro populous does
not help our economic status. Why
not talk of our banks, businesses
and other financial endeavors and
let the world know that we are not
just gang looking for handouts.
AS we lower our status of depen-
dency we raise our status of fl
nancial and economic acceptable
ty," he advised.

IMPORTANT DOMESTIC QUESTION THAT FACES
PEOPLE DECLARES NOTED EX- CONGRESSIONAL
CONFIDENCE EXPRESSED IN
PROGRESS BEING MADE IN
RACE RELATIONS
BOTH SIDES CHARGED WITH HYPOC-
RISY ON CIVIL RIGHTS QUESTION

CINCINNATI, OHIO-(Special)
1.-THE racial question is the single
most important domestic question
that faces the American people"
ex-Congresswoman Clare Boothe
Luce declared on visit to Cincin-
natl last week. "At every point of
our economic structure, you will
find the Negro question involved.
1t is very expensive to our econo-
my, not to mention our spiritual
development as a nation to deny
the Negro rights to which he is
entitled"
Mrs. Luce, however, expressed
confidence in the progress that is
being made in America in racial
relations. "Our system is making
progress. Many Colored are in col
leges and universities where there
were none so years ago. When you
appeal to the American peoples
religious beliefs and their faith in
democratic principles, they will
usually see the force of your argu-
ments."
The former U. s. Representative
decried the use of civil rights leg
islation as political football.
Il think the whole question of
civil rights is fraught with the
most profound hypocrisy on both
sides" Mrs. Luce charged. There
is among Republicans for histori-
cal and geographical reasons, more
willingness to put it through than
there is among Democrats again
for historical and geographical rea-
sons. But there is hypocrisy on
both sides. | would be very sur
prised if any FEPC legislation is
passed. | think it great pity for
politicians to use civil rights for
their own political advantages"
Mrs. Luce Opinion
1t is Mrs. Luce's opinion that
Western Europe is in little danger
of turning Socialistic of Commun-
istic of its own accord. "The people
are fairly anti-Communists at this
moment" she declared. "This does
not mean they do not want GER
tain welfare measures Nation
of industries is highly de-
sirable in some countries in Eu-
rope. But the people are against
formal Socialism.
Socialism is losing ground and
so is Communism. Nowhere is it
rising; everywhere it is falling.
Communism is however being
pushed ahead by bayonets aid
bombs.
Mrs. Luce called the withdrawal
of aid to the Nationalist and the
entire American policy in China
lone of the most terrible failures
that this country has ever known"
The blame for the Chinese elias

be placed on the present and past
