standard plane. This is the first
glimpse of present-day A-bomb
crew, hand-picked, superbly
trained. specially indoctrinated.
In the air or on the ground, as
these pictures show, they work
together as team. If one man,
even a gunner, is replaced. the
whole crew goes back into train
ing and has to prove itself again.
The plane is a B-50, equipped
with special instruments and

Group.
Their mission for today: To
fly an experimental atomic
weapon to the Atomic Energy
Commissions proving ground in
Nevada, detonate the A-bomb
at a given time and at a given
point in space and return to
their base in New Mexico.
If members of this crew feel
tense. they certainly don't show
it. They work as usual on their
baby: Prepare the plane for the
crucial flight, check and double
check it. The engines are pre-
flighted. All Instrumentation is
examined for top performance.
The B-50 will fly at an altitude
of $4,000 feet, at certain air
speed. so that the crew would
deliver the A-bomb exactly at
the pre-arranged time and point
in space, so that the A-bomb
itself would explode eractly over
Ground Zero at an altitude of

target. This is a complex and
extremely difficult assignment.
It places a heavy burden on the

o'Bryant
Explains
Actions
DECLARES THAT SMALL
SCHOOLS HAD HANDLED
VERY LITTLE MONEY:
SOMETIMES slz TO Sl4

IN answer to statement made
by State auditors in connection
with few questionable actions
taken by school authorities, Ho-
race O'Bryant. superintendent of
public instruction for Monroe
county referred to the general
statement made on the first page
OF the audit report by the State
of Florida Auditing Department,
which follows:
THE financia' ondition of the
Board was gooo Finances have
been generally well managed
and expenditures have been held
within the resources. Tax Lewis
had increased over prior years.
Funds required by the minimum
foundation program for the coun-
ty effort were provided. Deposit
DRY collateral was not adequate
at all times"
In reference TO this last phrase.
O'Bryant said that it was not at
all accurate, and that on check
ng back, it could have been dis
covered that the collateral was
covered at all times.
He produced a letter dated
April 10, 1850, addressed to State
Comptroller c. M. Gay, in which
ne was advised by O'Bryant that
J. J. Trevor, president of the
Florida National Bank had raised
collateral of $763, 900 which fully
covered the anticipated deposit
of bank money.
The time in which this col
lateral had not been recorded, al
though the money was already
raised. was between April II and
May 5 of 1850.
In regard to another phrase in
the general statement which
read. internal accounts have
not been maintained at all
schools" O'Bryant explained
that this had reference to small
schools on the Florida Keys
which handled very little money,
sometimes as little as twelve or
fourteen dollars, and that the
records kept by these schools had
been intermittent.
He added that in case, any
other minor discrepancies were
considered questionable" he would
be glad TO go into the whole mat
ter which extends back into emery
ency periods when he was not
superintendent.

expenditures, support and main
tenance funds for the fiscal years
ending June 80, l949, 1850 and
1851 follow:
In l949, total receipts were

HOSPITALS

NEW YORK - (ANP) - The
Medical Society of the County of
New York, the largest medical
society in the nation, last week
condemned city voluntary hos
pitals for discriminating against
Negro physicians.
A resolution adopted by the
group, assailed the practice of ig-
noring Negro physicians for hos
pital staff appointments and in
ternshipS.
A special committee to be es-
tablished was voted to study
methods of eliminating segrega-
ton and discrimination against
physicians, because of race, color,
sex, religion and place of birth.
The society's committee on hos
pitals and dispensaries found
distinct discrimination against,
or lack of opportunity for; the
Negro DOCTOR" and also reported
distinct limitations for graduate
education for Negroes.
A resolution in part said that
"there was a tendency for Negro
doctors to be segregated into a
few municipal hospitals, while
very little opportunity is provided
for them in the voluntary hospit-
ais"
The resolution pointed out that
these voluntary hospitals are nom
profit, privately run institutions,
and receiving substantial aid
from public funds.
The voluntary hospitals were
urged by the society to extend
staff privileges to qualified Ne
gro physicians for increased edu-
cational advantages and oppor-
tunities for practice in the best
interests of the health of the
community.
Copies of the resolution were
ordered to be sent to the COVER
nor, the mayor, the commissioner
of hospitals, the commissioner of
health, the medical and lay gov
erning boards of local voluntary
and municipal hospitals, and to
state and national medical socie-
ties.

HONORARY
PALLBEARER

DR.. Ralph Bunche was honorary
pallbearer for former Secretary of
War Robert p. Patterson last
week, adding a unique touch to
the distinguished men from high
ranks who followed the ex-jurist
to his Arlington grave.
1t was fitting that a Negro
should be a member of the fun
eral cortege for Judge Patterson
was one of the few real friends
Negroes in New York counted
upon.
From his earliest days in the
war department, when he handl-
ed contracts and supplies, he
helped Negro correspondents in
the devious news getting in the
capital. On more than one in
stance, Judge Patterson's inter-
cession opened closed doors and
brought Negroes closer to the
war picture.
