smokers, and that 1920 Of all other
types Of cancer patients were also
smokers. He excluded patients
who suffered an ailment known as
adenoma of the bronchis because
they had not been determined as
cancers. However, 4% Of them
were smokers, he said.
DR.. Harry S. N. Greene, chair

DR.. Dietrich Reitzes, associate
professor of sociology, George
Williams College, Chicago, stated
that "a qualified Negro has a bet
ter chance Of getting into medical
schools at the present time than
an equally qualified white appli-
cant because many white schools
want Negro students"
DR.. Reitzes. one of six members
on panel opening the 4Sth An
nual meeting Of the society, said
that while only 2.2% Of the ma
tons doctors are Negro, Eat the
present time, the basic problem is
not discrimination in the medical
schools.

qualified applicants"
He told of fund, National Med

which makes available fellowships

said.
Mr.. Sears has been visiting AZ
RIGA since 1854 as q member Of
missions sent to inspect conditions
in trust territories supervised by
the United Nations. He also has
made visits on his own to learn
more about Africa.
Mr.. Sears was chairman Of the

to Ruanda- Urandi recently and is
expected to recommend that Unit

South African Strife Cited
The United States delegate said
the recent racial disturbances in
South Africa had repercussions
throughout Africa. He visited the
country several years ago.
81 don't think there is a case
in modern history where a small
minority has long been able to
dominate" he declared.
Mr.. Sears observed that many
persons had been surprised at the
ability Of the new states to or
ganize their governments and run
their affairs. Speaking of criti-
cisms Of the new states for being
under one-man rule, he contended
that one-man leadership was
transitional phase that would
gradually give way as opposition
political parties began to take
their place upon the national
scenes.
Mr.. Sears also remarked that
the United Nations had served
many Of the African leaders who
head or will lead the new coun-
tries. At least three came to the
Trusteeship Council years ago to
press for greater political free
dom for the territories and self
government: Premier Sylvanus o.
ympio of Togo; Julius Nyerere,
who is expected to become Prime
Minister of Tanganyika, and Alb
dullahi Isea, Premier of Somalia,
which is to become independent
July 1.

American medical education il
perhaps the best that the world
has ever seen," but indicated that
expanding medical knowledge was
making necessary either the ex-

increasing the number Of medical

than increasing the size of schools.

adult and not as a juvenile.
II am in the habit of treating
all 17-year- -olds as adults" the
jurist said.
THE Lord is going to punish
you" Judge Bazile told the
youth. II hope He will be as
merciful with you as have
been"
Mr.. Raby said he represented
the boy at the request of the
youths mother and not at the
urging of the American Civil
Liberties Union. The mother
