by Stunning NA10,

Greater Miami community regard
less of race, color or creed, is
carking a milestone in medical
history of the South.
Our facilities for the care of
Negro patients are being expand
ed, and we are proud to have DR.
Henry on our staff"
DR.. Henry, 80, a native of Aucil-
la, Fla, is a graduate of Florida

Medical College, Nashville, Tenn,
with an MD.
He has been in charge of OBJ

cal Association.

tary of the National Association

while Russia helps spread these
stories Of racial violence In Ameri-
co, they aren't entirely to blame
that the u. s. Is not trusted I'm

Even Reuters the British

cause they are hungry and they
blame the policy Of white colonial
ism," he, said.

its faults, is a wonderful thing,
but II doesn't mean much to a
man who In hungry" and Russia
is doing better job OF selling
than we are" White said.
They don't know about slave
labor in Russia and they don't
like colonization" he explained.
White pointed out that there il

pattern Of mob violence taking
