tice the democracy 1t has been preach
ing to other nations of the world for
100 years, the NNPA urges both
parties to pledge themselves to rid
America completely of all forms of
segregation and discrimination based
upon race, creed or color in order that
the dark-skinned people of Africa and
Asia might be given concrete evidence
that at long last America is a land in
which democratic principles prevail.
I'VE insist that the following points
be included in the civil rights planks
of both parties:
1. That the federal government
clean its own house by making sure
that there is equal opportunity for en-
ployment in every agency and equal
access to every government facility.
2. That the President prohibit at
once by executive order diScrimina-
ton in all federally-subsidized housing
with the same principle to be applied
to all federally-insured housing.
3. That the federal government pro-
vide money and technical advice to
states and localities having difficulty
in desegregating their public schools.
q. That both parties declare and
enforce the 1854 decision of the
Supreme Court to be the law of the
land and call upon the Southern states
to obey the law without further delay

or compromise.
S. That the National Labor Rela-
tions board be empowered to refuse to
certify upon complaint, union that
has discriminatory membership poll
cies and practices.
E. That the attorney general, in
addition to aggrieved citizens, be en-
powered to go to court to force
school desegregation in southern
states now evading such action.
7. That Congress enact a permanent
ban on racial discrimination in all
work done under government con-
tract, license or certificate"

U.S.. Must Set
Pace, Says NNPA

CHICAGO, Ill.-The leaders OF
the Negro press believe that Fayette
County, Tennessee, should be de-
clared a disaster area and that the
President of the United States should
provide immediate aid to the dis

around the Tennessee towns OF
Brownsville and Somerville.
The publishers and editors of ap-
proximately fifty of the Nations most
influential Negro newspapers went
on record at the closing session of the
10th anniversary convention of the
National Newspaper Publishers AssO-
citation in Chicago as also supporting
youth sit-inS, while calling upon the
United States to exercise a more posi-
tive leadership in world affairs and
for Federal government action.
THE NNPA calls upon both politi-
cal parties which are about to open
their 1860 conventions to adopt strong
and meaningful civil rights planks
in their party platforms. In the past,
civil rights plankS have been en-
couched in vague and weak terms
which did not bind the parties to ac-
ton in the event of election. On the
few occasions when strong planks
have been adopted, no honest and
sincere attempt has been made by
either party to carry them out. In
this year of 1860 when it is more

United States to put into actual prac-

U. S. Buys 6-Foot-8 Bed
For 6-Foot-4 De GouIIe

1859 visit Of 6-foot 2-inch
King Saud Of Saudi Arabia, for
whom an extra-long bed was
rented from a hotel. 1t was
put up in the library every
night and taken down every
morning.
To take care of tall visitors
once and for all, the Guest
House decorator, Mrs. Camilla
Moody Payne, was instructed to
order the oversize mattresses
and springs for the second-fioor
Aubusson Suite. The two sin
gle beds there have extension
frames which can be pulled out
to take the new fittings. Mrs.
de Gaulle will share the room.
The Aubusson Suite, named
for its two beautiful rugs, is
elegantly decorated in aqua and
eggShell and its bathroom has
gold-plated fixtures. 1t was re-
furbished several years ago for
the visit of Queen Elizabeth
and Prince Phillip, but it
turned out they stayed at the
White House instead.
On his .1945 visit, Gen de
Gaulle slept in the State Room,
the bedroom usually occupied
by state visitors. Mrs. Payne
explained that while the bed
there was only standard length
two inches shorter than the
general-it was double width
so "he could sleep sort of cross
wise"

committed himself to a long

Clinic Barred
Referrul System
Instituted by
District Heads
By BETTY MILES
Star stan Writer

The District will not set UP
a birth control clinic at D. C.
General Hospital, Commits
sioner David B. Karrick an
nounced yesterday.
Instead, the Commissioners
have inaugurated a program
requiring every doctor in the
obstetrics department, includ-
ing Catholic physicians, to
give every patient who asks for
birth control information a
card leading to the Planned
Parenthood Association.
The plan went into effect at
the city hospital last week.
Prior to that, there was no
policy on the dissemination of
birth control information at
the hospital.
Protestant physicians were
sometimes reluctant to give
this data to a Catholic patient,
Mr.. Karrick said.
This attitude was often due
to respect for the physicians
Catholic colleagues" he added.
Catholic physicians declined to
give Protestant patients data,
or direct them to a source Of it,
he said.
Conflicting Procedures
Catholic patients being
treated by Catholic doctors
presented no religious problem
but the situation deprived the
patient of the advice If she
was determined 10 have it de-
spite the doctrines of her
church." he said.
The new program has the
approval of the deans of the
three medical schools with
services at District General, he
said - Georgetown, George
Washington and Howard Uni
versities.
The deans, although not all
opposed to planned parenthood,
prefer that no such clinic
should be operated at the Dis
trict General Hospital at this
time" he added.
Mr.. Karrick made it clear
that a significant factor in the
decision against setting up a
clinic at the hospital was his
belief that this would prob
ably lead to the withdrawal of
the Georgetown service from
the obstetrics department"
He said he had mo way of
knowing" what Georgetown's
decision actually would have
been until a clinic was in ex-
istence.
Considered an Advance
81 don't contend it is per-
feet" Mr.. Karrick said. but I
think the present plan will en-
able us to continue to operate
an obstetrics department which
has an excellent record. I be-
lieVe this should be my domi-
nant concern as a commits
sioner Of health" Mr.. Karrick
is responsible for city health
and welfare matters.
The new attitude on planned
parenthood" at the hospital, he
said, means that District Gen.
eral Should not become an
advocate of birth CONTROL pro-
cedures." However, patients
who ask for help should have
an opportunity to have it, he
said.
Mr.. Karrick said Protestant
doctors have the right to VOL
unteer birth control informa-
tion to their patients.
Mr.. Karrick said fitting dia-
phragms was not forbidden at
the hospital. The hospital is
simply not equipped to do the
job. he said.
