Aim Is to Uphold
New Rule Against
Bios by Hospitals

The District Council on
Human Relations is offering to
assist Negro doctors who en-
counter racial discrimination at
any o fthe city's eight contract
hospitals.
The council at a meeting
today authorized Paul Killing,
council executive director, to
notify the Medico- -Chirurgical
Society of the District Of Co.
lumbia, an organization of
Negro doctors, that the council
wants to help enforce a new
anti discrimination clause in
hospital contracts.
At the instigation of Com
missioner John B. Duncan, a
new amendment was added
lasta November to the District
contracts providing for reim-
bursement Of the eight private
hospitals which give medical
treatment to indigentS.
The amendment is designed
to ban racial or religions dis
elimination against doctors ap-
plying for positions on the
Stafts Of these hospitals
Some Negro doctors have
complained of alleged discrimi-
nation by private hospitals in
refusing Negro doctors staff
privileges.
The United States Civil
Rights Commission has said
that 1t is going to make a sur
vey here and in other cities to
determine If hospitals are dis
eliminating against Negro doc
tors.
The Washington unit Of the
National Medical Association
said recently that only "a of
the approximately 275 Negro
doctors here have staff privi-
leges in private hospitals.
The Human Relations Coun-
Gil, which is headed by Aaron
Goldman. also told its subcom-
mittee on hospital practices to
arrange meetings with admins

hospitals.

between House Republican and

Democratic Floor Leader w.
Dale Hess took particular UNI

Republican Chairman David
Scull to Democratic "lackeys"
of Gov. Tawes in the General
Assembly. Since Minority Lead
er Beall had indorsed the Scull
statement and Mr.. Scull was
not around, Mr.. Hess belabored
Delegate Beall on the floor OF
the House.
The Scull statement accused
the Democratic Governor OF
just giving lip service to the

session opened January 2.

Mr.. Beall said House Repub-
licans, who increased their
contingent from seven to 25 in
the last election, agreed in a
caucus yesterday that the Gov
ernor's bill leaves too wide a
range in populations among
the proposed districts.
The Republican bill will call
for creation of separate dis
tricts of Montgomery, Prince
Georges and Baltimore coun-
ties, the three big suburban
counties. The bill would take
away one of Baltimore City's
three congressman.
1t would be similar to several
other bills already in the Gen.

far different from the one sup

Park Police Chief Harold F.
Stewart, who has been more or

physical disability grounds at
the end of next month.
A medical report has been
made on the chiefs physical

expected to conduct a hearing
on physical retirement for the
56-year-old chief either March

other men yesterday" Chief
Stewart said, but I was not

Back Injured
Indications were that he will
retire for disability at the END
of March.
Chief Stewart injured his
back in line of duty on Sep
tember 16. 1856, when some
stands collapsed in Potomac
Park and he went to the aid
of the injured. He has told
reporters his back has been
painful in recent months. He
was on sick leave for several
weeks in the latter part Of last
year.
His retirement would have
to await formal notification of
the retiring boards decision TO
the Interior Department and
the Park Police force.
Chief Stewart was sent TO
Guam in 1861 by the Interior
Department in an effort TO end
dissension and wrangling in
