"AnOther form of dislOyaIty
is denial of rights guaranteed
by the u. S. Constitution"
DR.. JOHNSON, or more COR
rectly, DR.. Albert G. Johnson,
whose N. H. story of Lost
Boundary" fame was featured
in READERS DIGEST and was
also written by Louis DeRoch-
emont for Aim, has now report
edly been dismissed from his
Job amid conflicting reasons.
So, once again, DR.. Johnson
symbolizeS the hardships of col
ored doctors seeking to buck
the Jim Grow line.
THIS OPPOSITION to loyal
colored Americans in the fields
OF medicine and surgery land
also other skills) by paleface
people of foreign agents, is, in
deed, one of the utmost puz-
zleS Of all time. Here we have
colored citizens actually bat
thing to serve and save eur
democracy and yet the "favors"
are given Soviet agents and ex-
Nazi scientists all over the
and.
THE ROSENBERGS both had
Russian parents and one can
sense their divided loyalty. The
same divided loyalty has afflic-
ed other comparatively new
corners to our land But the
Colored American has been
here since 1909 and knows no
other Flag or Country. Perhaps
no other American minority
group can make this claim, ex-
cept the Indians. But both
colored and Indian Americans,
even today, are given less trust,
stake and duty IN our Govern
ment. Why?
THE WORLD, today. is un-
dergoing the first major stage
of Self-examination of its Ills.
Doctors, rather than scientists,
should take the leading role.
For much of our troubles are
social Ills" resulting from the
mental, poisonous infections
Of Greed, Arrogance, Ignorance,
and Race SuperioritieS. From
these ills have come two world
wars and we face third. BY
mad men.
UNCLE SAM has compiled
the official list of American
casualties in the Second World
War brought about by some
mad men, including Adolph
Hitler. But Hitler alone did not
cause the war. The doctors
would have had to examine"
many other leaders. The over
all American casualties we're
1,125. .36e servicemen. OF these,
2el.551 died in the three rServ-
ices. Over hall; a million were
wounded in action. They need
ed all the doctors possible.
HOSPITALS today are plead
ing for more doctors and nurs-
es and workers in all categor-
les. It would seem that any
one denying help to the sick
due a doctors color is actually
being disloyal to the American
people and "endangering lives"
the same way as any enemy
epy. Many medical leaders are
recognizing this fact today ana
are providing more and more
opportunities. And many bril-
liant coIored doctors have help
ed pave the way.
THE LOYALTY test does not
alone rest upon atomics secrets
nor communist party cards.
There are a hundred ways to
be disloyal to the United States
and another form OF disloy-
atty is denial of rights guar
anteed by the q. S. ConStitu-
tion The Supreme Court would
work for days on end II every
vialator Of this loyalty test
were brought TO trial. Also
those whose intolersnt acts
provide propaganda for the
enemy" are dangerous, too.
THE SERVICEMEN OF the
past wars who now rest under
white crosses are the ones most
fitted to Judge us today. Ger
tainly the RosenbergS were not
the only people willing to sell
out the U. S. Constitution.
There are Dixlecrats who are
doing that every day. Other
peopIe seek to stir up hatred
