John D. Neal Makes
Report On Confab

Pine Bluff-John ID. Neal, chair
man OF local No. GIG, Information
al Brotherhood OF Firemen and
Oilers Helpers. Roundhouse and r.
r. Shop Workers, has retained
from the oath convention held in
Chicago at the Morrison hotel.
MIR. Neal stated that such labor
figures as William Green, presi-
dent AFL; Joseph Rouike of Con-
neeticut State Federation of Labor
and Thomas hurry. president Of
N. Y. State Federation were on
the program,
Mr.. Neal stated that after the
history of the ALL was given, the
meeting was conferred upon the
passage Of national FEPC. Or
ganzed labor wants the fair en-
ployment legislation for many
reasons, according to the Pine
Bluff labor official. First, because
discrimination is contrary to our
democratic way of life 1T
doesn't make sense to teach our
children that all men are created
equal if we don't practice equality
where it counts" stated Mr.. Neal.
Mr.. Neal says discrimination
costs the union workers money
When people find many jobs
closed to them because of race or
religion. they have to take what
ever Jobs and whatever salaries
they are offered. This, he said
creates cheap labor forces and
makes il harder for union to win
decent labor standards for their
members" y
He says labor has learned that
the only way to improve condi-
lions for any worker is to improve

DOWN OUR WAY
by frances sampson

THE FIFTY EIGHTH ANNUAL SESSION OF
the Arkansas Medical, Dental and Pharma-
ceutical Association was held in Pine Bluff last
week, and it appears that it was a great con-
vention of the Men in Medicine The fact that
no Negro physicians are members of white med
zeal associations in this area, and because of
the basic undemocratc conditions no Negro
physicians from these parts may ever hope to
become members of the recognized asso-
Citations in the field of medicine and
particularly to hold membership in the Amer-
can Medical Association. However, there is
some evidence of new trend when white men
of medicine are found participating in the
segregated meetings We trust that the annual
meeting of the Arkansas group will enable it
to win friends that the barriers which pre-
vent free determination among doctors will be
broken down. In this city, where many white
doctors have large Negro clienteles, it would
seem that white and Negro doctors could get
together and meet and devise means for
greater service to the entire community.
ANY PLANS OF THE ASSOCIATION WITH
REGARD TO NEGROES PRACTICING IN
CITY OWNED HOSPITALS are not known at
this writing However it would seem that with
the recent naming of two Negro physicians in
Pine Bluff as staff members Of the Davis Hos
pital the group would be prompted to take
some immediate action in helping spread this
pattern over Arkansas The Jim crow facilities
for Negroes in city owned hospitals ought be
under sustained attack, and who could better
lead such fight than the Negro doctors?
Young Negro doctors will soon be graduating
annually from the University of Arkansas
School of Medicine. Some planning needs be
done and some action taken The doctors owe
this to themselves as we'll as to the Negro
people. New hospitals are being constructed
over Arkansas, and such a group ought be
able to furnish the Negro people with the lead
ershp to see that adequate Accommodations are
available to members of the Negro race The
Negro physicians might sieze the opportunity
during this ever increasing tempo of govern
mental control to integrate themselves into
all medical and health programs which are
presently receiving aid and support from
municipalities and governments.
MORE THAN HALF OF ARKANSAS NEGRO
PHYSICIANS ARE OLD MEN and they are
fading away. Requirements must be made but
there are few young doctors who choose to
practice the profession in Arkansas. Doctor j.
y. Bates of McGehee, made mention of the
plight in his annual message, and we trust that
the recommendations were acted upon by the
group and that some encouraging reports will
come from the association to the end that
more communities in Arkansas will be able to
have adequate medical care and facilities in
which Negro practitioners will enjoy full privi-
leges in the use of their skills. Congratula-
lions, however, to the men for the progress
which has been made, and our fervent prayers
for sustained action for democratic practice
throughout Arkansas

FOR THE NAMING OF NEGRO PHYSICIANS

FOR THE NAMING OF NEGRO PH SlClANo
to the Davis hospital staff and it is an unusually
healthy sign in this city. The factors are so
general so as not to be credited to any one
individuals interest. We are all glad that the
appointments were made and there should be
an immediate move to arouse public interest
in the needs which hospital maintenance re-
quires. The civic, frat and church groups ought
get busy and help improve the facilities which
are now set aside for Negro patients. Monies
might be made available for INDECENT Negro
patients Projects for the decoration of hospital
rooms might be assumed by several women's
organizations, which appear to have very little
to do but play bridge and gossip about their
neighbors. Organize some kind of program in
cooperation with the administrator of the
hospital that Negro patients might be given
the type of service that should be available to
all persons who are sick and in need of medical
care. Letters should pour into the office of the
superintendent, r. c. Warren, and the Davis
hospital board of directors, congratulating them
upon the venture, and pledge cooperation and
support and say to them, call upon us for
help and help us to help the institution. This
can be done very easily and would be most
pleasant task for many of the people know E.
never forget that we are not satisfied with
segregation in place where the Angel Of
Death visits at the midnight hour.
THERE IS A PERMANENT INSULT at the
Jefferson county health center which ought re-
ceve the attention of all Negroes. Negroes
must go to the back door and down the alley
way to get to the back door to enter this
public building The director DR.. w. II. Bruce
ought be ashamed of the fact. The county
Judge and all public officers having anything
to do with the situation at the health center
ought quit praying because there can be no
God in any souls heart when a man or woman
must enter public institution through the
back door because he or she is black and
white folks 60 in at the front door. There can
be no such thing as Heaven for such critters
and the quicker they "join the innumerable
caravan the better for democracy in Jeffer-
son county! This is somewhat of a political
matter and If Negroes cannot get action on
things which they believe to be the subject of
political bargaining such as appointment Of
Negroes to the city and county law enforce
ment agencies it might be well to howl a
bout the BACK DOOR ENTRANCE TO THE
JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTH CENTER!

Now she is widowed and broke,
living In, a dollar-a-day Paris ho-
Itel room. She spends her time
reading the "help wanted" ads
and waiting for answers to her
pleas for a job as cook, housekeep-
er or maid.
She is a second cousin. by mar

Queen Under Turkish Rule.
Princess Dayan's husband. whom
she married in Carlo in 1900, ruled
Egypt as Khedive under the OF
toman Empire until 1917. In that
year he fatty refused to enter the
war on the side Of the Allies since
it would have meant fighting
Turkey, his native country. He
abdicated under pressure and was
succeeded by Sultan Ahmed Fuad,
father Of King Farouk.
The former royal couple lived
in the capitals Of Europe until
his death in Geneva in 1916.
Suddenly without q husband,
the princess just as suddenly
found herself broke. "The Aus
trian government sequestered all
the money we had because 1t was
in banks in Vienna" she says.
She went to live In Innsbruck,
on the sale Of her rapidly dwindl-
ing stock of personal belongings.
A few weeks ago q friend there
suggested she move to Paris and
get o job.

and in London have aroused the

Government now, before warm

best election ammunition.
Aim at Early Election
The Socialists have been nat
urally racking their brains as to
how best to counter the Tory
guerrilla tactics. One of the
earliest moves was a motion
tabled by about 100 Labor MPs,
which would have prohibit
ed the sale Of alcohol within
the House Of Commons after 10
pm. There was. however, no
time provided to debate the mo-
ton, and in any case it would
have punished the Laborites
just as effectively as their OPP
ponents.
A more serious threat came
from Harold Wilson, the presi-
dent of the Board of Trade. He
suspended discussions with 80
trace associations who were
seeking increases in maximum
prices. BY doing so he hoped to
kill two birds with one stone.
Since it is these Government
permisSions for increased prices
that the Conservatives have been
seeking to annul (not because
they are against them. but only
