Little Effect. Seen From Change
In Tarheel Hospitals Policy
CHARLOTTE — Although
two Niorth Carolina hospitals
have relaxed somewhat their po
licies on admitting Negro phy
sicians to practice, there docs
hot appear to be any immediate
C|)[ange in the cffeat these po
nces will have.
Mffses H Cone Memorial, of
Ckeen^boro, announced last week
that it would accept Negro doc
tors' to practice
The announcement was greet
ed with pleasure from many
quarters and hailed as an "out of
court victory”' for a group of
Negro physicias-patient plain
tiffs who had lo5t a suit in
federal court sacking admission
to Moses Cone and one other
Greensboro hospital.
Dr. Andrew Simkintf, one of
the leaders In the court action,
hailed the move and announced
he would immediately apply for
admlasion to practice.
However, two days later the
hospital announced that al
though it had voted to admit
Negro doctors, its policy on ad
mitting Negro patients would re.
main intact. Negro patients
cannot receive treatment at
Cone except in special cases.
Negro physicians in Greens
boro viewed with dismay the
latest announcement from Cone
on the status of Negro patients’
admission and said they could
not see the value of being able
to practice at the hospital if Ne
gro patients were not admitted.
“f don’t see how we could be
of much use to the staff, unless
we are io serve white patients,”
one - physician reported.
From Charlotte Memorial
came the announcement also
this week that it would not re
lax the conditions under which
Negro doctors are permitted to

In commenting on her new as

saw here an opportunity to do
a very creative job in bringing
the message of the Committee’s
activities to the masses of the
people. She sees another op

suggesting plans which might
help get the apprenticeship

She feels that the committee

industrial areas, she observed,

“These young people shou!d
be informed of the job opportu

Gives Orders
In School Cast
Attorneys for plaintiffs in th«
Durham school integration case
were busy at work over tlw
Christmas holiday week-end pM-
paring an order for iniefri-
tion of nearl^r 200 pupils in
Durham city schools.
The order for Integrating tlM
pupils was scheduled to be pre
sented by the plaintiffs’ at
torneys to defense attorneys on
Wednesday, Dec. 20, and if there
are no objections they will go
into effect on Jan. 1
Judge Stanley assigned the
drafting of the integration order
to plaintiffs attorneys as a part
of his execution of the Fourth
Circuit Court’s order in the
case.
The appeals court, which took
the case after Judge Stanley hart
dismissed it. ordered the Di
strict Court to provide for the
admission of some 200 Negro
pupils to predeminantly and all
white Durham schools and
ordered the City Board of Edu-
c.-^ion to present a plan for de
segregation of the schools or re
Mnquish its control over asaign-
ments.
The court gave the Durham
Education board until May 1 to
submit a plan of desegregation.
It was noted during the con
ference that the board has s
committee at work on drafti;’g
such a plan. It is supposed to l>e
ready In 80 days.

ClenBon Case Going Before
Appeals Court Again In January
GREiJ»VILLE, 8 C — The
case of Harvey Gannt, Negro
student who is trying to enter
CIcmson College, is expected to
return to the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals soon.
This eventuality appeared
certain this week as Federal Di
strict Court Judge C C Wyche
Friday ruled against the Char
leston youth. I
Judge Wyche dismissed the
action in an order which said
Gantt had failed to prove that
he was discriminated against be
cause of his race.
Gantt was turned down by
Clemson authorities at he be
ginning of the school year t>e
cause he did not fill out his ap
plicatioo properly.
Gantt’a attorneys indicated
that they would immediately
appeal the ruling to the Fourth
Circuit Court in hopes ot gett
ing an affirmative decision so
that the youth can enroll at,
Clemson by the beginning of the |
second semester. {
There appeared a better than
eyen chance that their hopes
may be fulfilled, for although
the Circuit Court refused earlier
in the case to order Gantrt’s
immediate admission to the state
supported school, th^ court did
order that the case b^ tried Im
mediately by the District Court,
so that any appeal could be de-,
cided upon ttefore the beginning
of the next school term at Clem
son on Jan 28.
The next term of the Appeals
Court is set for Jan 7, and al
