Richmond Ministerial Union.
The Rev Charles Bradley Tenn
plelion, a member of the evange-
istic staff of the National Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ in the
U. 5. A., will be one of the speak
ers on the mission program.
Richmond white ministers voted
almost year ago to hold unsegre-
gated preaching missions on the
same day that Norfolk white min
listers voted to abandon their mis-
sion until such time as it could be
held without segregation.
Richmond authorities have eX-
pressed the view that unsegregated
audiences at the Mosque where the
Preaching Mission will be held
would not violate the Virginia Con-
stitutional requirements calling for
segregation because it would be
considered private affair.
In Norfolk officials have held
the opposite opinion, insisting that
the Preaching Mission at the Nor
folk Municipal Arena would have
to submit to the segregation of the
races according to Virginia~law.
Since there will be no segrega-
ton in Richmond, it is expected
that hundreds of Negroes will at
tend the services, and in substance
it will amount to am interracial re
vival, The non-segregation feature
appeals to Negro pastors who will
not hesitate in many instances tc
encourage their members to attend
the services even though no Negro
speaker has been named on the
program.

National Medical Association Reviews
Medical Situation Of Past Year; Looks
Forward To Improvements In 1858

the health conditions as they effect
the Negro, particularly, were
/ greatly improved over. the previous
year, with the newer drugs, al
though some of which are too ex-
pensive for the poor person to OBJ
tain, are cutting down the duration
and incidence of many diseases
The easier availability of such
drugs as penicillin has played hav-
oc with the venereal diseases. Sy-
philis has decreased enormously
and perhaps within the next gen
GRAFTON will be medical curiosity.
Gonorrhea is on the way out-due
largely to the use of penicillin.
With the gradual death of gonor-
rhea, the alarming frequency of
mutilating operations on women
and much infant blindness will
have been eliminated.
tuberculosis is decidedly, al
though slowly, on the way out due
to several newer drugs, but there
is a great and crying need of more
hospital beds for TB. 1t has been
found that cancer attacks the white
and Negro races about equally. The
situation concerning cancer is a lit
tie more hopeful. The very ealiest
diagnosis and appropriate treat
ment are still the only safe course
Acknowledgements OF hardening
of the artery is looming to the
front as the most widely preva-
lent, the most disabling disease,
and the greatest cause of pre-
mature old age and death that we
new have. Some progress was made
in the cause and treatment of this
trouble during the past year or
two-more than had been made in
the last one hundred years. Some
people seem to have not the ability
to assimilate fats Of animal origin
and this has caused this class of
fats to be under great suspicion as
a cause of arterio-sclerosis and its
disabilities in some people.
The great shortage Of physicians
in many areas, especially rural, re
mains acute. Our two medical col
leges, Meharry and Howard, are
turning them out to the limit of
their capacity. Many white medical
colleges are accepting a very few
colored students. The shortage of
specialists in our race is even more
acute. Our medical graduates are
having no trouble at all now in
finding hospitals in which to in
tern-a condition which is Oppo-
site that Of a few years back, less
difficulty is being found in finding
hospital residences in which our
medical men may prepare them
selves as specialists. In fact, most
hospitals over the country are also
suffering from an, acute shortage
Of physicians and specialists. This
is the result of many causes:
/. The large number of recent
graduates who go in for speciali-
zation rather than for general prac-
tice.
2. The draining off by the gov
eminent Of many physicians and
specialists for service in the Army
and Navy and for the great host

,)f doctors needed to staff the many
Veterans hospitals in the country.
To counteract these influences. it
IS being suggested that the gov
eminent only call such doctors as
are really needed and that the
practice Of treating housewives
connected disabilities in Veterans
hospitals be discontinued. Secondly,
that all medical graduates be re-
lulred to serve one OF more years in
general practice before being ad-
mltted to the study of a speciality.
This could increase the number of
general practitioners.
There are indications that in
fluences are at work which will
alter these physician shortages
within a reasonable time, especial
ly among the white population.
However, unless more white medi-
cal colleges open their doors to
qualified Negro applicants, it will
be long time before the number
of new colored doctors can catch
up with the desirable ratio with
the population, and before the in
crease of doctors will parallel the
normal increase in the population.
Conditions are improving rapidly
along the lines of integration
among the colored and white medi-
cal societies. Unthought of changes
along this line have taken place
even in tn deep South. Notably the
case at Macon, Georgia, where
colored physicians have been in
vited in the white medical society.
Changes for the better have also
taken, place in Washington, D. c.,
St. Louis, Mo-, and many other
border cities.
