udents have been awarded four-
(ear medical scholarships with an-
ktul Awards ranging from $400 to

Ihlcago and secretary-treasurer of
|iiional Medical Fellowships, Inc.
58 St., Chicago, a non-profit

listance to Negroes for education
knd training in medicine.
. In making the awards, Dr. Mc-
Lttn said; “While there is an over
all ’ shortage of qualified appli
cations for admission to medical
■cKooIs, the problem is especially
lertous for Negroes, who are rep-
teiKnted in the medical profession
to the extent of one-seventh
lieir represpntatibn in the pop-
;(on as a whole.”
McLcan cited the latest
Jilable figures to show the
awlp shortage of Negro doctors.
Oi the approximately 252,000 phy-
libians in the United States, only
a^put 4,000 are Negroes.

Desegregation Boosts
Sales of Paper Cup Co.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Through a souf
twist, desegregation is proving
profitable to some manufacturers
of consumer items.
A paper cup manufacturer has
advised its salesmen in a piemo-
randum of an increase in tlje sale
of “water cups and portion! cups”
as a result of desegregation at
the Lockheed Aircraft plant in
nearbv Marietta.
“But, most important,” the
memorrndum added, “is the
change-over at the'drinking foun
tains made it nos.sible for us tn
secure an order for 10 million
cups.
■'We would ask that you pay
close attention to developments
in your re.sDective areas. You can
expect similar to what is happen-
ine r* Lockheed to occur through
out the country,” it read.
Rev. F. L Shufllesworth, Most
Jailed Leader in Riglits Movement
a
: THE CXKOCIiriC TIMES
fATUROAY, JULY I, 1H1 OWMM, M. C — SM;
BIRMINGHAM, Ala— The Rev.
Fred L. Shuttlesworth of Birming
ham is a likely candidate for the
title of the most jailed leader in
the civil rights movement.
At the moment, he is under
conviction in six separte cases for
challenging segregation in Bir
mingham. In addition , he is un
der a $5000 peace bond which he
is appealing , he faces another
charge in Montgomery scheduled
for trial in July, and his children
are under conviction for defying
bus segregation in Gadsden.
That makes nine criminal cases
pending for the family.
Besides that, Mr. Shuttlesworth
is involved in 12 civil court ac
tions; in five of them he is a
defendant and in seven he is the
plaintiff. This makes a total of
21 active court cases, civil and
criminal, in which he is involved.
And this does not count two
civil cases and one criminal case
which has won in the last year.
Also uncounted is a contempt sen
tence which he has already served.
Birmingham Court Recorder Con
way find him $10 and sent him
to jail for 24 hours for contempt
on June 2 when he refused to
promise not to break any segre-
grtion laws for the next year.
"Sometime I have a hard time
keeping up with all of them my
self,” Mr. Shuttlesworth says of
all his various litigations. “You
know, I didi^’t really mean to gel
involved in so much; I just want
to be free.”
Mr. Shuttlesworth’s battles in
the courts have now been going
on for five years—since 1956 when
he organized the Alabama Christ
ian Movement for Human Rights
to fill the breach when the NAA
CP was outlawed in Alabama.
He has recently accepted a call
from Revelation Baptist Church in
Cincinncti in order to meet the
economic needs of his large fami
ly, but at the request of Birming
ham Negroes he haa agreed to
keep his residence in Birmingham
and will conttnue to give active
leadership to the movement
there. He will also continue his
leadership in two Southwlde civil
rights organizations—the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference
the Southern Confereqce Educa
tional Fund.
His ourrent six criminal Mnyic-
tions add up to toti[^''ij|nitiM|til -of'
810 days in jail (ovef IweTriMri)
and $1400 in fii^es. Two of the
convictions have recently been up
held by the Alabama ,}Supr||nei
Court; these were a QOiday Un^
tehee and $100 fine on a conspira
cy charge growing out of the first
chjallenge to Birmingham bus seg
regation in 1958 and a 180-day
sehtence and $100 fine on an-
otper conspiracy charge during
thk 1960 sit-in campaign in Bir
mingham.
uring the recent Freedom Bide
crisis in Birmingham, Shuttles-
wirth was arrested on 4 charges;
itil two weeks. He received JO-
d^ sentences and $500 fines on
tvio separate conspiracy charges,
and he was sentendeii to 180 days
and $100 fines on two other
cnarees—jp^fusing to move and
inlerferi(^vwith an officer,

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Ten par

ed to Tallahassee, Thomas Autry,

out iiicident at the “white” restau

New Therapy Program Begun By
VA To Rehabilitate Patients
WASHINGTON, D. C. — A new
work-therapy program to help se
lected psychiatric patients “earn”
their way back to productive liv
ing has ■ begun at the day center
of the outpatient clinic of the
Ve‘erans Administration regional
office in New York City.
It enables them to be paid wages
for simple work assembling pens,
necklaces, and other items for
'ocal manufacturers as part of
physical medicine and rehabilita
tion therapy at the clinic.
The patients spend about three
hours per day in the program and
the remainder of their day in other
rehabilitation activities.
Dr. Sylvan A. Frankenthaler,
director of the clinic said th#
work is proving to be a valuable
form of therapy and has been re
ceived with enhusiasm 6y the v*t>
srans. He said patien .s who bad
displayed little mtereat and ho|M
are showing marked increase ia
alertness and morale.
Dr. Fn:nkenthaler emphasiated
that money is not the main obj^
tive of the program but only
serves as a motivating force to
help the disabled veterans reclaim
their positions in soceity.
