NEW YORK^ Negro physi
cians and surgeons should loak
“behind the scenes” of t h e
'American Medical Association,
and examineits attitud'e and
policy toward the Negro in the
medical profession, before ac
cepting its leadership in the
light against inauguration of
socialized medicine, says Elmer
Anderson Carter, editor o f
OPPORTUNITY, Journal of Ne
gro Life, in the May issue of
that magazine. ^ *
“No group in America isi in
greater need of medical care
than the Negro," Mr. Carter
states. “Theii^a .-ajy hundreds and
thousands of Negroes who are
born and dfe without attendance
of a physician or even a practi
cal nurse,..Sheer poverty pre
cludes the great mass of Negro
es from enjoying decent and
adequate medical attention. And
where poverty is not JJie p.’ inci-
paT factor, raea prejudice—makes
a measuraibJe contribution to the
appalling and disgrEaceful mor
tality rate which the Negro bears
in America. ^
“This racial ptejudice denies
' Negrd students e opportunity
Lto enter the-medical schools of
i America save in few instances
[ It denies opportunity for Negro
graduates of even the medical
colleges where they are allowed
to study the opportunity for

NEW YORK -The long fight
which the NAACP has waged
against the film “The iBirlh of a
Nation” will b« continued as
vigorously as ever, it was an
nounced her# this week by he
board •of direcTors of the as
sociation.
The old film, which made its
first appearance twenty years
ago, ha* been revived and is now
being booked in jnany cities
either as “a revival of a classic”
ir as "an educational feature
of the development of the cine
ma,”
The association's actijn this
week was prompted by an in
quiry from the Detroit b^anc^.
of the NAACP which is teeking
to have the film barred from
that city. Tlie NAACP beard
voted to kbproach Will Hays,
movie czar, seeking t^ have tho
film banned throughout the
country “and to use any and all
other methods to keep the film
from tjeing shown.’*'"
