Burnhdn, Policy:
Patient Won't
Be Asked on
Room Sharing

Burnham Hospital patients no
longer will be asked by employees
whether they are willing to share
a room with a person of another
race.
A statement issued jointly Fri
day by the board of directors and
the medical staff included this pol
icy.
The hospital had been criticized
by the Human Relations Commits
sion for following policies which
the commission said amounted to
segregation in patient bed assign
ments.
Members of the commission
have been insistent on a written
policy of non segregation issued
to employees of the hospital.
Here is the policy as stated by
the board and the medical staff:
'The hospital board and the
medical staff recognize that all
incoming patients are entitled to
the full and equal enjoyment Of
the accommodations, advantages,
facilities and privileges of Burn
ham Hospital, regardless of race,
color, or religion.
"Of necessity, the availability
of accommodations; the nature Of
the patients illness; the attend
ing physicians recommendations
or orders, and the required medi-
cal teatment are considered as
well as the individual and vol.
unfairly expressed preferences of
any and all patients.
mo employe at any time will
raise any question as to compat-
ability or incompatability of any
two or more patients of unlike
race.
I'm the event the possibility or
need for sharing a room by pa
tents of unlike race should arise,
then the attending physicians of
the patients concerned would de-
ternine the disposition of any such
possibility or need"
The statement was issued by
Mrs. Julia Dodds, vice president
of the board and DR.. James D.
Mckinney. president of the medi-
cal staff.
They noted that the board of
directors and the medical staff,
as indicated in past discussions
and correspondence, are in agree
ment with the Human Relations
Commission that city ordinance
No IS Isl the corarslling policy
of city government in Champaign.
This ordinance stresses equal
service to all residents; fair and
equal treatment under the law TO
all citizens. and equal rights, with
out regard to race, color. creed,
national origin or ancestry"

attention and she win repay you
over and over.
Today, many weeks later, Helen
has not sprouted wings yet, but
already her disposition is much
improved. She is trying to do her
best. She still has a long way to
go but with her parents extra
special love and patience with her
she viii be a different child before
too long, thanks to Marie, the
dedicated young school teacher.

saying, I'VE are at our wits end
with Helen. She Is 90 mean and
ugly with the other children and
although only seven, seems to al
ways go around with q chip on her
shoulder. She tells US we flavor"
her older sister because she, Doris,
In nice looking. When she isn't
complaining about Doris getting
everything nicer than hers, she
says we always are doing some
thing nice for the younger brother
of hers. We do not favor anyone
of the children. When we buy for
Helen we always buy for Doris but
Doris is a child who likes to be
clean. She does not want her hands
to stay dirty so she washes them
often. She also likes to have her
hair combed whenever it needs
brushing and she keeps her clothes
as clean as possible. She simply
likes to be looking her best at all
times. Helen, although only Is
months younger, Is the very op-
posite. She never willingly has her
face or hands washed and does not
want her hair combed. She says
I keep Doris nice and clean and
don't care how she looks. That is
not true. I love all three Of my
children but I don't seem to be
able to understand Helen.
She looked at Marie, a very
brilliant young school teacher who
Is dedicated to her profession. She
has gone to many Of the parents
homes to talk with them and try
to show them how they can get
along better with their children.
Marie hesitated a moment before
answering and then she asked,
isn't Helen the middle child?
Since she is the middle child she
needs a little more attention than
she has been getting. She feels
you do not love her and that is
why she does so many little things
that aggravate you. Doris, the
first born, has been showered with
love and a great deal Of attention
because she was the first born.
Carl, the baby, is still receiving
great deal of care and attention
because he Is the baby. Can't you
see, Helen, being the middle child,
is sort Of let alone, in a way.
Doris has come into a lot of at
tention because she was not only
the first born but she Is also
very pretty child and when the
two are together, friends, uncon-
sciously, go toward Doris and say,
my, what a beautiful child" Helen
stands by and perhaps one out
Of ten win condescend to say, "and
Helen, how nice you look today"
Friends do not mean to be cruel,
they are thoughtless, in this case.
Marie, the teacher, told the chill
dren's mother, Cora, to make a
special effort to be more affec-
tionate toward Helen. She said
Helen felt no one loved her and
all she needs Is to be assured she
is wanted and loved as much as
her brother and sister. Let her
know she can be trusted to keep
herself sweet and kind without
any special effort on her part and
she will find she will attract as
much attention as any Of the other
children.
Marie, the teacher continued,
ANY time a child acts the way
Helen does, being the middle child,
is because she wants attention and
being and acting naughty gets the
attention she needs. In order to
help her, give her more love and

 Bartlett said he got nowhere when he tried to get Air Force action on search for two men killed when their light plane crashed Friday near Cape Lis burne.
 The floe, he added, is believed to have drifted into Communist territory since the crash Friday. He said he expected a report on the situation yesterday.
 q was terribly concerned" i" Bartlett said, ito learn that on a national holiday the phone in the office of the Secretary of the Air Force went unanswered"
 q finally reached a corporal in the office of the Air Force Chief of Staff," Bartlett added.
 The Congressman said he was further dismayed to find lone agency after the other trying to place responsibility for action in the search elsewhere.
 The men, Ward Carroll, pilot and guide, and Stan Gordon, both of Anchorage, died when their plane crashed near Cape Lis burne. They were hunting polar bear.

Nome Chamber Meeting News

"How about training reindeer for reindeer races, as was done a generation ago for potlatches and VIVA Fairs?" This was the question asked the Chamber of Commerce at their noon lunch con yesterday, and the idea turned over to the tourist commit tee for serious consideration.
 A letter of explanation was read from Governor Egan as to how and why the hoped-for and promised road money was not allocated to the Fairbanks-Nome Road, by the new road chairman, Lloyd Sundstrom. It explained how Senator John McNees has been asked to present facts and figures in seven categories to prove the need and necessity for this road. The information asked includes population along the route and the estimated popula- tion for the next 20 years; esti- mated traffic if built, and esti- mated traffic in 1880, as well as estimated settlement along said route if included in the Federal Road system.
 Jim O'Sullivan, Alaska Steam l ship Go. agent, protested the Chambers action concerning the 10 per cent rate increase, and carefully explained the reasons, giving facts and figures showing this increase to be necessary. O'Sullivan was then enlightened as to why the Chamber found it necessary to ask for hearing, as it was particularly concerned over the lighterage as well as the water rate. O'Sullivan stated pos itively that there would be no in- crease in lighterage rates. The main reason for the raise, stated | O'Sullivan, was the fact that profit on several million dollars of business last year, profit was only .0053 per cent.
 Conrad Potter reported on the coming Dog Races, to be held in April, and urged representa- tives of each of the businesses present to start thinking about sponsoring queen for the Queen of the Trail. One organization has already chosen it's queen contes- tant, he stated.
 Rev. John Rawlings, who is preaching this week on an evan gelical mission at the Community Methodist Church, was a guest of the Chamber.
 Russ Hermann reported that State District Attorney has been found, and would be arriving very soon.

OHicerAdmitsH He Said
Ship Death is Suicide

BOSTON, Feb. 10 (AP).-A
star witness for the prosecution
conceded today at the murder
trial Of William Van RE, Dutch
radio operator, that he had said
I'VE know it is a suicide"
Capt. Joseph B. Fallon, head
Of the Boston police Homicide
Squad, conceded under cross
examination he made such a
remark before interviewing Van
RE and obtaining a statement
from him.
Van RE. 81, is charged with
beating Lynn Kaufman, a 23-
year-old Chicago divorce, and
tossing her over overheard Sep
TENDER Is as his ship, the
Utrecht, left Boston.
Capt. Fallon also conceded
the statement was obtained af-
ter Van Rte had been ques-
toned virtually the entire night
of September 1890 at a Brook
Ign police station. He said as
far as he knew personally the
defendant did not lie down
during that period except once
for 10 minutes.
Argues for ManSlaughter
In direct testimony, Capt.
Fallon said that Van RE
argued with him on a train
back to Boston from New York
that the death was not murder,
but manSlaughter.
Capt. Fallon added of their
conversation on the train:
u asked him why he followed

the sea, how long he'd been In
the service-we talked Of many
things. Then he said, This
bothers me. Why should this
be murder? Why should there
be a murder warrant? You
told me she died Of drowning
That's manslaughter, not MUIR
der"
A statement Capt. FaIlon
said he took from Mr.. Van Rte
last September 80 in a Brook
Ign police station was put on
record over defense objections
today.
Capt. Fallon read the part
Of Van Rie's purported state
ment concerning his visit to
Miss Kauffman's cabin the
night of September 10. He
quoted the defendant as saying
he had been there only about
a minute. The State contends
it was about that time that the
girl was thrown overheard to
her death.
Gist Of Statement
Capt. Fallon had read the
statement yesterday in the alb
sence of the jury. He went
over it again today after Judge
Frank ]. Murray ruled it ad-
Missile. The gist Of the state
ment follows:
capt. Fallon, I completely
realize that with the evidence
you have they could break me

IS, white father of four. re-
ceived a 60-day sentence on a
charge of striking a Negro COL
lege student with a chain. The
incident had occurred as the
student carried a protest pla-
card in front of a Raleigh
store.
Situation in Portsmouth
In other developments yester-
day:
In Portsmouth, Va. white and
Negro school authorities urged
students to stay away from the
scenes of this weeks racial fric-
ton.
Earlier a misunderstanding
caused Police Chief L. c. War
rem to tell a newsman that STU
dents at both schools had been
threatened with expulsion if
they took part in further racial
disorder.
At nearby Hampton, six Ne
groeS staged a brief and quiet
sitdown at the lunch counter
Of a Woolworth store. None was
served, although service was
continued for white patrons.
The Negroes. who identified
themselves as Hampton InSti-

tute students, were not asked
to leave.
40 March at Store
In Charleston, S. c., about 40
Negro youths marched three
blocks up the business section
to the front of Woolworth'S va
riety store. They made no effort
to enter the store. Police and
the store manager said they
had no idea of the intentions
OF the group. which quietly dis
persed. Woolworth stores in
other Southern cities have been
a frequent target of demonstra-
tors.
The second lunch counter sit
down in a week was staged in
Nashville, Tenn, by 200 Negro
students who moved into four
stores during the noon lunch
hour. The students remained
seated quietly for about 80 min
uteS after the counters were
closed.

cabin.
Il am going to make a state
ment but 1t won't be a true
one. ] will say I was in the
cabin. but ! wasn't there"
At this point the statement
indicated that Capt. Fallon de-
clined such a statement and
continued quoting Van RE:
Il had been in the cabin to
visit her, to see how she was.
I thought she might be sick
because Of possible pregnancy.
And she said. What If I were?'
She got angry. I raised my
hands and hit her, not on pur-
pose, on the head and face. I
didn't mean to-"
Capt. Fallon, the statement
indicated, asked If the girl fell,
and Van RE told him she did
not. Capt. Fallon read on:
Il asked him how many
times he hit her. He said he hit
her in the face once. I asked
him If he was angry and he
said he was not angry"
Capt. Fallon said he asked
Van Rte If what he said was

swered: 1T has to be-"
