BATTLE NOT YET WON
Wonder Drugs Most Effective In
Combating VenereaI Diseases

Combating VenereaI Diseases
The battle against venereal dis
eases has not yet been won. Peni-
cillin and other new wonder drugs
are most effective in the treatment
of these diseases and have cut
down markedly the number of new
cases. The effectiveness of these
drugs is well known to the public
and, in many instances, has en-
couraged a false sense of security.
1t is well to remember that there
is no 100 per cent cure for the
venereal diseases. Avoidance of in
fection will ever be the only guar
antee against non-cure. The re-
servoir of infected persons is still
very large. Some are totally un-
aware of their disease. These are
the most dangerous since they
spread the disease unknowingly.
Some others who have the disease
knowingly expose their sexual
partners. Still others depend total
ly upon the wonder drugs and dis
regard the moral code.
The venereal diseases are still a
threat to our civilization and ma
tional strength. Babies are still be-
ing born with venereal disease in
lection. Some are condemned to
permanent disability, others to
death. Too many teen-agers are al
so infected. The campaign against

tion in order to wipe out this

Chicago Woman
Killed On Way To
Thanksgiving
Dinner

CHICAGO-A Negro woman on
her way to Thanksgiving dinner
yesterday in Chicago was killed by
a Chicago Motor Coach Co., but
first managed, with the help of a
companion, to thrust her great
granddaughter to safety.
The woman, Mrs. Courtney Arm
strong, 70, (of 1926 Prairie Ave-,
was walking with her great grand
daughter, Janice Poole, 5, Mrs. Sc
nora Greene, 62, (of 5740 S. Park
way) when the accident occurred.
Police said the three ran in front
of the bus when they tried to catch
it, and the two women swung the
child onto the sidewalk just before
the bus struck them.
Mrs. Armstrong died shortly af-
ter the accident in the Chicago hos
pital. Mrs. Green suffered head,
ankle and knee injuries.

stepped up to the post of director
in charge of the division of tenn
porary care, Bureau of Child We'll
fare. He recently made a survey
for improving the services under
his direction in both personnel and
facilities.
An Alpha Phi Alpha frat man,
his job is to coordinate the work of
the various departments connected
with children receiving temporary
care, and to offer consultative and
advisory service and to protect
and improve standards of those re-
ceiving transient service.
Before his recent promotion, DR..
Simmons was director Of the chill

He is now considering plans for
the new Hebrew Children's home

may be accepted Immediately on
an emergency basis.
Serving on the youth board staff
are Melvin S. Anderson and Bea-
trice Walker, sociologists who are
participating in an experimental
program which is a protective SER
vice to children in their homes.
The project, called Case Work Ser
vice for Families and Children, has
been in operation nearly a year.
Under the plan aid is given to
families whose children thow signs
of unhappiness or neglect. Since
the social workers are active coun-
sellers their work is designed to
protect family life. Mrs. Walker

Although nothing has been said

talk about seeking a bipartisan ap-

York's Senator Irving M. Ives as
the key member of the Republican

was pointed out that the success Of

Further basis for the whole
hearted and unreserved endorse
ment of the investigation by Negro
citizens of the state, especially as
it relates to Alcorn College is the
widespread belief among Negro cit
liens of the state that Alcorn
College has long been a pork
barrel" for certain politicians of
the state.
The widespread belief among
Negro citizens generally that AL
corn College has long been "porl
barrel" for certain politicians, al
though the concrete evidence and
hard facts, are not in evidence,
may have had its origin in the
constantly declining conditions at
the college, especially during the
past ten or fifteen years.
While the legislative appropri-
ations for the college has never
been looked at by Negroes, and
other citizens as well, as being
adequate for the expansion of the
college, it is The opinion among
Negro citizens of the state par
ticularly. that the money appropri-
ated, had it been properly spent,
was sufficient to prevent the col
lege from being rundown to its
present deplorable condition.
An unbiased survey of the phys
zeal conditions Of the college made
just before the opening of the
present session, revealed that prac-
tically every building on the cam
pus could best be torn down.

Of the students, the most ancient
structures on the campus, with
corrosion and decay of the bricks
gaping holes in the plastering, and
cracks everywhere showing the re

like an invitation to disease thar
an invitation to learning.

replace the old wooden structure
used as a dining hall for many
years.
In supporting and endorsing
the investigation and hoping that
nothing will happen to prevent it
from being carried to the fullest
extent, Alcornites in particular,
whose institutional loyalty have
long been the envy of every other
college in the state, as well as
Negro citizens generally also say
that the history of the college dur
ing the past few years have been
one of marked and steady decline
both physically and in the quality
of its curricular, and the educa-
tional opportunity offered to Negro
citizens OF the state which has
brought about a marked decline in
its enrolment, with large numbers
of students who otherwise would
have gone to Alcorn College being
forced to go to college outside the
state in search for a better edu-
cation.
In spite of the opinion of Negro
citizens of the state, powerful po-
litical forces were Immediately SET
in motion to block the investiga.

power. Mr.. Wilson would enter into
the picture only when members
of the committee were unable to
agree on a policy matter. Thus,
policy control generally would be
in the hands of Secretary Tobin,
as chairman of the committee.
DIR. Graham Mentioned.
Under the Tobin plan, a liaison
officer would be appointed to work
between the committee and Mr..
Wilson's office. He would have no
authority to set policy. Labor De-
partment officials favor DR.. Frank
P. Graham, former Senator from
North Carolina, for the job.
All phases of mobilization man
power are involved in the dispute,
including manpower for the Army,
defense production. essential civil
ian production and the civil
service.
Both sides agree that policy for
controlling manpower must be
co-ordinated. Mr.. Wilson is said
to feel that he cannot do an
efficient job as director of the
entire defense effort unless he
can keep tight rein on manpower
policy.
Mr.. Tobin, a friend said. feels
that unless the Labor Department
is given the job of bossing the
manpoWer program it will be re-
duced to virtual bureau status as
long as the mobilization effort
continues.
Tobin Has Earlier Order.
Mr.. Wilson, in the order from
the President setting up his office,
was given authority over man
power. Mr.. Tobin holds an earlier
order from the President naming
him as manpower procurer for
defense production.
The aODM refused to comment
on reports that Mr.. Flen1ming,
who was member of the War
Commission in World
War II, is being considered for
But officials confirmed that Mr..
came to Washington to
confer on manpower problems"
with Mr.. Wilson yesterday; also,
that Mr.. Wilson feels the chair
man should come from outside
and have no ties with
any of the agencies which will be
competing for manpower as the
defense effort progresses.
