Urges Premiership
FOR Doctors

Chicago CAMP - Though doc
tors are lauded the world over for
their services for mankind, they've
been getting bad press in the pen
manship department for many
years.
DR.. Herman Feldman, Methodist
hospital, Gary, Ind, says writing
cramp - or prescription scrawr'
is costing the nations hospitals
thousands of dollars and man hours
annually.
Writing in the current journal of
the American Medical Association,
DIR. Feldman urged a drive to
teach doctors and nurses to write
legibly. If all the 10000 orders at
Methodist hospital were legible it
would take 5000 hours to inter-
pref them, at a cost of $4,000,
Feldman said. If all were inegible,
Interpretation would take 10000
hours, at an annual cost TO $54, 900,
he said.

Her AibeTnufion

Long Beach, Calf. CAMP -
Mrs. Mary Ferguson, a 36-year-old
woman who weighs pa pounds,
has settled into two weeks of self
imposed solitude and a near starv-
alton diet to give herself a trim,
new figure.
I'm tired of being fat" she de-
clared as she took a hotel room
here for privacy. She weighs more
than twice what the mean old
scales reported when she married
10 years ago.
Her breakfasts for the next 10
days will consist of two or three
cups of black coffee. For lunch
she'll have one or two cups of
tea, and for dinner one or two
cups of coffee and a bowl of clear
broth. Daily vitamins will top off
the menu.
The only people to see her will
be hotel employees. Not even her
husband will be allowed up. He's
liable to bring up steak sandwich
for me-" Mrs. Ferguson explained.

Maurice Herzog, High Commits

France: I'VE are coming to an
important step. We are abandon
ing the Friendship Games to or
ganize the African Games in
which all the African states and
exclusively the African countries
(French, English and Arab-speak-
ing) will be invited. France will
not participate in these next games
as a nation. In order that the
African games might be recog-
nized by the International Olym-
pic Committee, it is important that
this decisive step be taken, separ-
ating the organization of the
Friendship Games from that Of the
African games"
Able Fulbert Youlou, Congo

Sir Roy Welensky, Premier,
Central African Federation: cal
ready in the minds Of many people,
a line has been drawn across this
continent - the Zambesi river
which marks the boundary between
Southern and Northern Rhodesia
and also roughly defines the area
Of Southern Africa still under
white control. I know, Of course, it
is not the intention of extreme
Panadricanism to stop at the Fam
best river, but instead to sweep
EDWARDS down the continent to its
southern most point"
President Kwame Nkrumah,
Ghana: "a united Africa will be
able to employ scientific know
ledge on a much larger scale than
we do not to bring about a rapid
improvement in the living stand
ards Of all people who live on the
continent. Only by a planned and
harmonious exploitation of the ma
tural resources Of the African con-
tinent can we derive the maximum
benefit from these resources. Afri-
can unity, therefore, is essential
to Africa's development, progress

Claims MuSIimS
Initiating Worst
Of White Man

Atlanta CAMP - The Amer
lean Negro does not need the white
mans Faustian obsession with
money and power, a prominent
author declared here last week.
Lerone Bennett, Jr., author of a
recently published story on his
tory of American Negro, said this
is my personal disagreement with
the Black Muslims."
"By following the white man in
his worship of skin color, by fol-
lowing the white man in his lust
for money and power, by following
the white man in his denial of the
brotherhood of man, Black Mus
Inns are following the sincerest
form of flattery imitation"
Bennett declared.
His book, Before the Mayflow-
err" traces the American Negro
back to 1919 - a year before the
Mayflower landed on our shores.
In an address at Clark college
here, Bennett declared that the
Black MusIms say: THE white
man has been beastly; let's i'm
itate him." Instead, Bennett said,
he believes that 1.-THE White man,
generally speaking, has been beast
ly; let us - all of us, Negroes and
whites - transcend him."
The Chicago author, who cur
rently is working on a book on
Martin Luther King, Jr., said a
growing number of young writers
and artists believe that there is
little hope for the Negro if he
continues to accept, uncritically
and completely, the values, goals
and ideals of this civilization.

told me to come home or he would
send for me!

wanted to see me to tell me how

wished I would come home and be
with the family. My sisters and
brothers also told me I was well
come to come home. really would
like to have stayed but now that
the home was paid for, and they
were all doing fairly well, I could
not go back. They had all faired
