Germans Ask Permission
To Build AirpIanes Again
By the Assoeiated Press

BONN, Germany, Dec. S1.-A
Western official disclosed yester-
day that the West German gov
Iernment has asked for permission
to build aircraft again.
The request was made in the
course of curren. negotiations for
"a peace contract to restore a
greater degree of independence to
Western Germany. Since the war.
Germans have been barred from
building or flying planes. Until
this year. the ban even applied to
gliders.
In one Of the attached conyen-
tons to the proposed peace con-
tract the Western Allies offered
Germans the right to operate
their own civil airlines with Ger
man pilots. But they specifically
barred aircraft construction. The
Germans counter proposal. the
Allied informant said today. was
that, they be allowed at least to
build civil aircraft.
The Allied position on this at
present is understood to be:

A brother -and-sister team study
ing medicine at Howard Univer-
sity made the grade through hard
work, they say-but they give all
the credit to their fathers burn
ing of the midnight oil.
Frank Edmunds and his sister.
Margaret, breathed a much earned
sigh of relief last September, after
they were safely enrolled in How
ards College of Medicine.
They knew more than the old
college try was needed when they
took those stiff entrance exams.
Competing with them were $50
other determined students with
hearts set on a medical career.
Only rs were accepted in the
freshman class.
Only Event of Its Kind.
Frank E. Edmunds, ST.. has a
reason to feel his son and daugh-
ter have accomplished something
They are the only brother and
sister combination in Howard S
history to enter it's liberal arts
school together. to be graduated
at the same time and to enter
medical school together.
Their feat is even more impress
sive for another reason: There
are only 53l students enrolled in
the country's two Negro colleges
having medical schools-the other
being Meharry Medical College
in Nashville. Tennessee. AS a
comparison, there are about &c, 900
white students enrolled in medical
schools throughout the Nation.
Margaret is one of only AZ wom-
en- studying medicine at Howard
and Meharry.
But when the honors are dished
up. it's dad who deserves all the
credit, both agree.
Works at Two Jobs.
There's nobody like him" Mar
garet beams. Already he's f.
nanced us through four years of
college and plans to do the same
through four years of medical
school. Dad says he will also sup
port us during our year of intern
ship and even buy our medical
Instruments.
Dad is indeed a busy fellow. Six
days week he is the night SWITCH
board operator at 2540 Massachu-
sets avenue NV. At 7:30 am.
he goes home, catches a few winks
and then works the rest of the
day repairing watches and clocks.
A third source of income-though
rather meager. he says-is his re-
tired Government pension.
IT'S not easy to work day and
night. but l hope through an act
of Providence I can carry it on
and see them become physicians, -
he adds.

hearty at 81. But during those
days as head messenger in the

routine became a bit too rugged.
Grow Like Twins.
After the switchboard job was
completed in the morning, he had
just 60 minutes to race over to
the Pentagon to begin his eight
hour Government job. He retired
in 1949, after almost A years
service.
Although there's a difference
of 18 months in ages. Frank and
Margaret have grown up like
twins. He is % and she is 20.
Scholastically speaking. it would
be hard to find a twosome with
better records. Together they
went through Dunbar High
School in the upper fourth of
their class. He was a lieutenant
colonel in the cadets, and she
belonged to the honor society.
To give dad a shot in the arm
financially. both took scholarship
tests to enter Howard's liberal
arts school. Margaret received a
$3.50 scholarship for winning first
prize, and Frank. $3.50 for taking
third-place honors. Both were
leading students in their major
zoology.
DIR. Marvin A Backer.
One of their staunch supporters
is Dr.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, presi-
dent of George Washington Uni
versity. DR.. Marvin lives at the
apartment house where Mr.. Ed
munds tends the switchboard.
They have become good friends.
When Frank and Margaret were
successful in getting into medical
school. the GWU president wrote
them a letter. which read in part:
II send you my congratulations.
Medical men and women with the
right training are in great need.
AS you dedicate your lives to the
high service of medicine, I hope
that you will be blessed"
DR.. Marvin said yesterday, about
Mr.. Edmund's: He is really a
fine person to keep working to
educate those youngsters. I don't
know of any other case like it."
Study Day and Night.
The Edmunds family lives at
4027 Foote street NE. The stu
dents mother, who teamed with
her husband to finance their chill
dren through college, died of a
stroke last June, after collapsing
at a farewell party on her retire
ment from the Civil Aeronautics
Administration.
The future physicians would like
to work but find medical study

they're not too busy" the proud
