* D. C. Doctors Endorse Proposal To Giv| $1110 Each 10 NAACP "Fighting Fund For Freedom" Drive vvAbmNGTON, D. C. At tne regular meeting oi its ^uara of Governors on April 20, .ue Meaico-Chirurgicai Society ji tlie District oi Columbia en- uuised tile proposal of its presi- aent, Dr. W. Montague Cobb, mat every Negro doctor in the united States contribute at xeast $10U to the “Fighting i!und for Freiedom.” Dr. 'Cobb ^ iirst urged this* proposal in an ' address at the 42nd Annual Cli nic of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society, at Tuskegee institute, Alabama, on April 14. tie said, “When the American Medical Association elected to oppose a plan for national Health insurance put forward by Lhe President of the United dtates, it levied an individual lax of 925 on its members and accumulated a war chest re puted at over two and a haU aiilUon dollars which was ef- iectlvely used. The issue invol ved was the merits of a plan for paying for medical care. This liisue was one on which reason- uble men might differ. “The moral principle that medical facilities and care ought to be available to the citizens of our country on the basis of need wihout racial dis crimination of any kind is a principle on which reasonable men may not differ. The affirm ative is the only position ten able. It concerns a far higher ground of advocacy than the patterns iof financing medical care. It might be assumed, therefore, that to Negro doc tors especially, this moral prin ciple would have an importance at least four times greater and that these physicians would be willing voluntarily to address themselves at least four times 'as much as the American Medi cal Association assessed its members in a lesser cause. Thus where AMA members bore a levy of $25 to fight national health insurance, Negro phy sicians would now eagerly con tribute at least $100 each to banish discrimination from health areas. “It happens that a well-pro ved organization exists, dedica ted to the elimination of racial discrimination in all areas, in cluding those of medicine. It further happens that this or ganization, the National Associ ation for the Advancement of Colored People, in taking stock of the encouraging progress in recent years, has promulgated the brilliant concept that the county can go the whole rest of the way by 1963, the centen nial year of -the Emancipation Proclamation. To this end the NAACP, at the Instance of the distinguished chairman of its Board of Directors, Dr. Chan- ning H. Tobias, has established its “Fighting Fund for Free dom” and has IritJ'Ited cbritrlblF" tors from all walks of life. This organization is already equip ped and has the know-how to deal with the problems which confront the minority profes sion, working cooperation with that profession. What could be more inspiring than for every Negro doctor straiglitway to contribute at least the sum of $100.00 to the NAACP’s Fight ing Fund .for Freedom. One can ^hink of no more effective means to get the job done that we all want done and of noth ing better calculated to gain the cooperation and support of the entire public than the spectacle so provided of doctors putting their shoulders to the wheel with the people for a cause which will benefit the whole people, Including themselves. “A one hundred per cent re- Eisenhower Urged To Consider Negroes For F^eral Court Posts NEW YORK President Dwight D. Elsen hower has been urged to give "careful and sympathetic con sideration” to qualified Negroes in making future appointments to the federal courts. Acting on instructions of the Board of Directors of the Na tional Association ipr the Ad vancement of Colored People, Dr. Channing H. Tobias, chair man, and Walter White, execu tive seeretary, wrote to the Prs- sident on April 13 expressing the NAACP’s "keen regret that none of several eminently quali fied Negro attorneys were in cluded in the nominatious an no,luced on April 7 to fUl va cancies on the federal bench.” The letter, addressed jointly to the President and Attorney General Herbert Brownell, re iterated . the NAACP policy against “asking for political or other appointments for indivi duals.” Nevertheless, the Asso ciation spokesmen told Presi dent Eisenhower and the Attor ney General, the NAACP has consistently maintained that race should not be “a deterrent to the nomination of qualified persons to important posts.” The failure to include a single Negro appointee, the letter said, was “particularly noticeable and regrettable in view of the per- cedents established by Presi dents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman in the appoint ment of qualified Negroes to the federal bench, such as Judge William H. Hastie to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Irvin MoUison of the U. S. Cua- toms Court, and Judge Herman E. Moore as District Judge for the Virgin Islands.” Copies of the letter were sent also to Leonard W. Hall, chair man of the Republican National Committee and to Republican governors.

SATintDAT, MAT 1, 19M m cAmoUbtA ttw TMmm Conviction, Confidence And Character bivortant Requirements For Public Office Says Harris New One-Sliot Cure For Gonnorliea Disclosed By Chicago Physician^ A new “one-shot” cure for gonorrhea was made public yesterday in a report by a Chi cago physician. Dr. Ben Seid disclosed that one injection of the antibiotic terramycin “ra pidly and totally cured” 12 cases, of the most common vene real infection in the United States. The same drug worked in 38 chronic cases after penicillin had failed, Dr. Seid reports in the current issue of fEe medical journal, Antibiotics and Che motherapy.* Development of the first injectable form of a wide range antibiotic, terramy cin intramuscular,- has made possible this advance. Of the 38 stubborn cases, 16 required only one injection of the drug, while the other 22 needed two. Thanks to the antibiotics, gonorrhea is not so widespread as it once was, but 243,850 cases were reported to the U. S. Public Health Service in 1953 and the Service estimates the total incidence of gonorrhea at about one million cases. Although remarkable pro gress has been made in the fight against venereal disease. Dr. Seid believes that the de velopment of the terramycin intramuscular form will offer physicians advantages over both, penicillin and streptomy cin. He declares that the new drug is “probably the best pre paration” he has used for treat ment of gonorrhea. Late in 1944 the War Depart ment directed that penicillin should replace the sulfa drugs as the first choice remedy for gonorrhea. The discovery of streptomycin and tetrramycin added other weapons to the fight against the disease. From 1947 to 1952 the incidence of infections declined from 284.2 to 161.1 per hundred thousand population. In addition to providing a rapid cure for gonorrhea, the ‘Conviction, confidence, and character” are three important requirements for public office, according to R. N. Harris, Dur ham City Councilman from the Third Ward. Harris listed these require ments at North Carolina Col lege Saturday during the Law School’s first annual Institute on Municipal Corporations. The all day session was held In the Moot Court Room. He was one of six Negro city officials and former officials participating in a symposium on “The Elements Necessary for Attaining Negro-White Coope ration in the Election of Ne groes to Public Office”. Other councilmen in the dis cussion were Nathaniel Barber, City Treasurer of Gastonia; the Rev. W. R. Crawford, Winston- Salem; Dr. Willianf^ Hampton, Greensboro; Hubert S. Robin son, alderman. Chapel Hill; and Dr. W. P. De Vane, former Fay etteville city councilman. Harris set the stage for the panel’s discussion when he ad vocated more interracial coope ration in “electing men of merit” regardless of “race, new terramycin intramuscular has also been reported effective against meningitis in children, avoiding the need for intrave nous injections of the antibiotic. Other advantages of the injec table wide range antibiotic over the oral form are faster action, lower dosage, and free dom from side reactions except for slight discomfort at the in jection site for a few hours This was experienced only 8 per cent of Dr. Seid’s cases.

He said con viction involved” a bi-raciaf educational program and he ad ded that “Confidence is short lived unless it is founded on Christian character. Robinson, custodian of the Morehead Building at the Uni versity of North Carolina, Cha pel Hill, urged greater partici pation in civic affairs. “Char acter is perhaps the most im portant thing,” Robinson said. He pointed out however, it is up to potential office-holders “to become known”. “Don’t refuse the opportunity for public ser vice. Familiarize yourself with the issues. Talk to the people who are openly against you and try to persuade them to your point of view. Seek their support. Be fair and honest af ter you are reelected”, Robin son said. Dr. De Vane echoed Robin son’s emphasis of knowing the issues.” WIT is well to have enough security to be above re proach and above pressure for economic reasons”. Dr. DeVane said. He said office holders with “security” also often were the ones who had “the time”. ‘You’ve got to be ready to be there at all times,” the former Fayetteville official .sal d ‘'You’ve got to bare guts, and you’ve got to know the seore. You’ve got to be the eouaeU- man for the people, because you represent all people,” Dr, De vane said. The Rev. Crawford seM, ’Tf one wants to seek public office, he must have a secord of civic participation.” The Winston-Sa lem Methodist minister said the “big payoff in public office comes in doing something for somebody else, it doesn't make any difference whether it’s a white or black citizen who's helped. The true feeling of pub lic service comes from a desire to want to do something for an ongoing municipality.” Commenting on Harris’ em phasis upon “confidence”, Crawford said, “When people have problems, if they have confidence in you, it doesn’t make any difference whether you’re white or colored.” “It is a sense of gratification to help correct problems,” the Winston-Salem councilman con tinued. “Know your community,” Crawford advised.
