housing problem.
Thirty-five Negroes already
are in the little Cape Cod town
4 miles from Hyannis Port.
site of President Kennedy's
summer home. The group in
cludes two mothers and their
20 children.
The reverse freedom riders
were given one-way tickets

lists On arrival at Hyannis they
were housed at the Cape Cod

lands first reverse rider. said
a trick was played on him by
the citizens council of New

station and supply him with
money until he found a job. He
said he waited all night at the

Few Negroes on Stoffs
Of Private Hospitals

Only 81 of the more than 200
Negro physicians in Washing
ton have staff privileges at the
areas private hospitals. DR.. j.
Harold Nickens said yesterday.
DR.. Nickens, medical officer
at Freedman's Hospital, made
this report at a hospital con-
ference on integration at the
Fifteenth Street Presbyterian
Church. Fifteenth and R streets
NV.
DR.. Nickens listed only the
number of Negro physicians
known by us to be members
of the medical staffs of the pri-
vate hospitals" The tally, he
said, was based on a poll of the
city's Negro doctors. The list
ing did not include Negro ply
sicians on the staffS of hos
pitals operated by the munici-
pal and Federal Governments
because these medical Staffs
are integrated, he said.
His report was made as chair
man of the Committee on Hos
pitals and Education of the
washington unit of the Ma
tional Medical Association, an
organization of Negro physi-
clans and one of three sponsors
of the conference.
The hospitals wnere Negro
physicians have staff privileges,
DR.. Nickens reported include:
Washington Hospital Center,
George Washington University,
Georgetown, Hadley, Sibley,
Providence, Children's, Cas-
ualty, Prince Georges, Alexan-
dria, Northern Virginia Doc
tors. Fairfax and Arlington.
Each of the hospitals named

teSy staff privileges only, he
said, except for Casualty.

/ Northern Virginia Doctors,

one Negro medic on each staff
is allowed the privileges of at
tending physicians.
/ Generally. Negroes pay the
same rates for separate but
equal treatment at Washing
ton area private hospitals" DR..
NickenS said. George Wash
ington University and Sibley
are the outstanding exceptions
to this because their facilities
are assigned on a non-discrim-
inatory basis"
The National Medical Asso-
citation has been criticized un-
fairly for supporting the Amer
lean Medical Association in its
opposition to the controversial
King-Anderson medical care
bill. DR.. Vaughan c. Mason,
NINA President, said during an
interview at the conference.
At the opening session, Roy
wilkins. executive secretary of
the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People, chided the NINA for
its support Of the ANA, saying
you won't get anything unless
you fight against them on this
issue" Mr.. wilkins said the
NINA should support the King
Anderson measure TO encourage
the administration to push fer
an end of Federal aid to hos
pitals which refuse to desegre-
gate their facilities.
THE NINA has not taken a
stand on the King-Anderson
bill" DR.. Mason explained. "At
its convention last August, the
NINA resolved to support the
Kerr-MillS Act despite IT'S in
adequacies. There was a mi
nority report urging SUPPORT
Of the King-Anderson bill, but
the convention adopted the
majority view"
Senator Javits. Republican
OF New York, said Congress
should act promptly to remove
from the law provisions which
have already been declared un-
constitutional by the Supreme
Court in the school segregation
cases." He criticised the sep
arate but equal provisions of
the Hill-Burton Act which pro-
vides money for hospital con-
struction.
The Constitution is color
blind and Federal funds should
not be misused to advance seq
re2ation." said Senator Javits.
The Federal treasury should
not be used as a blind instru-
ment to violate a fundamental
law of the land"
Representative Dingell, DEM
ocrat of Michigan. predicted
the Courts will act before
Congress in striking down as
unconstitutional the separate
but equal doctrine as embodied
in Hill-Burton."
The conference, co-sponsored
by the NINA, NAACP and
Urban League, is named after
Imhotep, an ancient Egyptian
physician and scholar of about
5000 BIC. and is dedicated tc
ending segregation in hospita,
and health facilities.

been worked out" at the time

to amplify his statement.
Records Removed
Mr.. Poole, of 1701 Glencarney

tax investigator.
In two of them, Mr.. Poole
said, the records relating to
Maryland Districts business af-
fairs could not be found.
The third branch, is located
in a real estate office, he said,
and documents relating to
Maryland District were re-
moved by him. Headquarters
have been set up in the firms
main office at 1921 University
boulevard west.
We're trying to get every
thing we can." Mr.. Poole said,
explaining that the first job
will be the gathering of all
available assets and conducting
an audit. E
Harper M. Smith, former
Montgomery County senior as
sistant States attorney and a
Democratic contender for the
House of Delegates nomination
in the recent primary, was ap-
pointed his attorney by Judge
Shook. Mr.. Poole named Claude
r. Vess, a certified public ac-
countant of Rockville, to start
the audit.
President Gives View
Meanwhile, Mrs. Helen s.
Holmes, Of 9018 Marquette
drive, Bethesda, the president
of Maryland District, issued a
statement saying the firm is

THE sea is so inviting. No

Mrs. Al-Ahdab, who is
fluent in Arabic, Turkish,
French and English, is a
great admirer of Ernest Hem
lngway. 1T was a very en-
Joyable experience reading
For Whom The Bells, Toll
Old Man and the Sea- and
other of his works." she said.
Mrs. Al-Ahdab said that
when it was announced that
her husband would serve in
Washington. she began read
ing up on this country.
The very first book on
America that I had read was
the one by Andre Maurois.
I dug it out from my library
and re-read it," she said.
She has two pets, a cat
named Marina. and a Ger
man shepherd dog called
Lucky. They were a gift to
her by the former Lebanese

Wife Is Tension Reducer

conversation becomes sticky
even tense. 1t is then that
an ambassadors wife can re-
duce tension through maneu-
vering the conversation to
other channels" she said.
Mrs. Al-Ahdab also said
that another major duty of
an ambassadors wife is to
reduce or eliminate stiffness
and excessive formality at
dinners and make the guests
feel at home.
I'm this matter, I am a
great admirer of Her Majes-
ty Queen Elizabeth II. Before
one meets the queen, there
is apprehension as to what
kind Of a person she will
turn out to be.
There also is anxiety over
observance Of correct proto-
col. However, when one
meets the queen, she at once
puts the caller at ease, and
she turns out to be a very
sweet, charming and simple
person." Mrs. Al-Ahdab said.
Leading Fanny
Mrs. Al-Ahdab was born
in Beirut, the capital of Leb-
anon. She comes from one
OF the leading families in the
country. Her grandfather
was a famous poet. Her
father was Director General
of the Ministry Of Finance.
And one Of her uncles was
Minister of Public Works.
The excellent system of roads
in Lebanon and its parks are
due to his energy.
Like her grandfather, Mrs.
Al-Ahdab also writes poetry.
She began writing it when
she was 18. All her works are
in French. and have been
widely published in maya
zines in her country and
in France.
Also. a collection Of about
200 of her poems have been
published in book form.
Called "Vivre," (To Live) the
book is considered a valuable
addition to Lebanese nation
al literature.
Mrs. Al-Ahdab also was a
delegate from her country to
a conference of the United
Nations Educational, Scien-
tific and Cultural Organiza-
ton held in Beirut in l94S.
Fluency
She later attended a con-
ference of the q. N. Commits
sion on the Status of Women. |
She also is active in the
affairs Of the Moslem Or
phanage in her country, and |
the LebaneSe Red Cross.
Besides quiet strolls, she
also is fond of swimming.
She attributes her love of it
to the mild climate and the
