Negro Physician
Denounces Blood
Theory as Rocism
BY the Associated Press

DR.. Edward C. Mazique. head
of a national organization Of
Negro physicians, yesterday de-
nounced as unscientific racism
a white doctors report that
there are dangers in blood
transfusions from a donor OF
one race TO a patient Of another,
In a paper released last week,
DR.. John Scudder Of Columbia
University told the American
Association of Blood Banks that
a minor differences in blood
composition make racial sep
aration advisable. He said a
patient receiving a TRANSMISSION
from another race is more likely
to produce antibodies to combat
differences in blood substances.
DR.. Mazique. president of the
National Medical Association,
ranked the conclusions with a
theory he said was advanced in
slave days-that Negroes were
peculiarly susceptible to an all
ment called dreptomania, "a
malady that gave Negroes a
compulsion to run away"
DR.. Mazique challenged the
idea that the American Negro
is a distinct racial group, con-
tending he is more "a social
concept or entity" and different
only in skin color.
The Negro physician inquired
rhetorically whether DR.. Scud-
der and his associates are fam
iliar with the mixing of blood
he said has taken place through
crossbreeding since the year
1919.
Partly on that ground he took
the position that If there is
any blood difference, Negroes
and whites long associated in
this country would match better
than American whites and re-
cent arrivals from other parts
of the world.
