editor and publisher paid a visit
to the Twin Cities last week. He
was Rene Vanguard deVilliers,
who has been making a U. S.
State Department sponsored tour

mage B. Carey, a department
head.
They were shown the many in
tricate operations that are nee
essary in making 80 and so cal
iber bullets; working conditions,
and safety measures in use for the
comfort and protection of the en-
ployees.
Mr. deVilliers expressed con-
siderable interest in the policy of
migrating Negroes in all depart
ments at the Arsenal solely on the
basis of qualification and exper-
fence.
He stated that his visit at the
Arsenal helped make his tour
successful, as he saw complete in
tegration, which was the focal
point he wished to take back with
him to South Africa.
Quoting Mr.. deVilliers, Seeing
is believing and I have seem"
Mr.. deVilliers is a very promin-
ent and successful publisher in
South Africa, and it is believed
that his influence will be very
helpful in corrective legislation
that will bring about better rela-
lions between the whites and Ne
groes in that country.

Retiring President

CHICAGO CAMP DR.. JOS
eph D. Gathings, retiring presi-
dent of the National Medical AS
ISOLATION, went to the Bible in
stead of the medical books during
his triple-hammer address to g.
900 conventioneers last week.
The Howard university profess
sor used the historic words of
Saint Luke; Physician, Heal
Thyself." And in doing so, he rip
ped Jim Crow medical institu-
tons, unconcerned doctors and the
enemies of Federal Compulsory
Health Insurance.
In a day when the stresses of
living place a greater demand
than ever before upon the health
and happiness of our people" he
declared, I'VE find the doctor less
interested in his patients as hui
man being and regarding them in
cold impersonal way.
TN a day when there is the
greatest demand for the Negro
physician-when the life span of
the average Negro is six to eight
years less than that of the aver
age white person-when there is
Only one doctor for every 3,400
Negroes, few medical schools will
admit a man with a black skin
so that he may learn to heal his
own people"
DR.. Gathings then waved his
scalpel at other organized men of
his profession who have lobbied
against compulsory health insur-
ance.
stand Up For Health Insurance"
why don't we stand up" he
asked, Ito those who cry that
compulsory health insurance is
socialized medicine and take
stand in its behalf are we so
frightened by the label of Social
lied medicine" that we must sit
timidly back and witness the
spectacle of fellow human beings
fostering and dying because of
the lack of proper medical care?"
The famed medic gave three
major reasons for his position
favoring the controversial medi-
cal plan:
l. There are millions of people
in this country who do not sub.
scribe to voluntary health in
surance because II Is human ma.
ture to postpone action on vol
untary plans.
2. For a health insurance to
really be successful it must
have a large membership and
represent a cross section Of the
population.
s. There Is another limitation
Of voluntary health insurance
which would not be found in a
compulsory plan. Medical care
insurance in itself, no matter
how wide its coverage, does not
constitute a broad health pro-
gram.
On point three. Gathings point
ed out that a successful medical
insurance must rest on a firm
foundation of a nationwide system
of full time health units designed
to maintain and improve health
through mass prevention and
mass information. voluntary
plans" he said, ARE available
only to individuals who can pay
for them. For this reason their
coverage is limited and their pre-
miums relatively high.
Physicians, we can heal our
selves by attempting to heal
others-not just the select few
others-but all others"
DR.. Gathings declared that
some men who stand at the pin
nicle of scientific achievement
tolerate racial discrimination in
their fields. However. he said, he
was happy to report that the
District of Columbia's medical
society had followed in the foot
steps of Maryland Florida and
Missouri in lowering the bars to
Negro doctors.

years IS the only one of its tyr
throughout the nation.
The booth, sponsored by
mission in cooperation with 16
other human relations and social
agencies is primarily interested in
the promotion of better human re-
lations in the state.
The exhibit is stated by volun-
teers from the various agencies
and organizations who eagerly an
swer questions and distribute free
literature to all persons who de-
sire it.
In addition, people who visit the
booth are asked if they would
care to fill out a card that indi-
Gates which phase of the field
they are interested in so that they
can be furnished with more de-
tailed information later.
1t has been estimated that ap-
proximately a half million people
have visited the booth.
This year the exhibit will have
two voting booths and people WIS.,
iting the booth will be asked to
vote" his attitude on four issues
affecting human relations.
Each voter will be given a
chance to record his attitude on
equal employment opportunities
for all, equal rights for Indians,
housing problems and teaching of
human relations in Minnesota
schools.
With such a large cross section
of people visiting the booth, it is
expected that a rather accurate
picture of what Minnesota people
think about their minority citi-
zens can be obtained.
After the votes have been tai
lied, the results will be given to
various agencies for study and it
Is hoped that they will be of value
in helping with their educational
programs.
The booth is located in the
State Exhibits building next to
Machinery Hill. 1t is situated al
most in the center of the building.
Clifford z. Rucker, secretary of
the Governors Interracial COM
mission stated: The booth this
year will be one of the most at
tractive the commission has spon-
sored and all fairgoers are urged
to make a visit to the booth
must" on their tour of the 1852
fair.
The original idea for the booth
came from members of the COM
mission who thought that the fair
would be an ideal place to tell
people about human relations
work because the fair Is the larg-
est attraction in the state.
II also draws more people from
the rest of the state than any
