Urgent Need of Negro Doctors Cited by Meharry
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Whether
health care for the American people
will approach adequacy a decade
hence depends vitally on how soon
and how many Negroes can be re
cruited and trained as physicians,
according to the Manpower Com
mission of the American Psychiatric
Association.
Speaking for the commission, one

i states that Negro youth comprise
the nation's largest untapped man
power reservoir and that the com
: mission is giving highest priority to
encouraging young Negroes to enter
'medical careers.

by 1975, a 25% increase over today's
figure. Obviously, the commission
reports, there is note only critical
need to increase medical school gra
duates, but also to find better ways
of utilizing medical manpower, and
to improve the distribution of phy
sicians so that medical care will be
available to citizens everywhere.
The commission is convinced that
the strong hope of the future litis in
finding ways to let Negro young
people know that they can become
physicians. They must be assured
that they will be warmly received as
medical students and later as practi
tioners in any needful community.
We must carry their confidence in
their ability to survive the rigors of
a medical education and explain to
them that there are ways of financing
it Further, we must find truly crea
tive ways of letting these young peo
ple know that there are exciting and
worthwhile gratifications in being a
physician.
"Manifestly," Dr. Elam said, "bur
campaign to bring more Negroes into
medicine can only be hampered by
the persistence of "racial problems"
along the way. The would-be Negro
physician must feel that upon com
pleting his training he will be able to
choose his place and mode df prac
tice without restriction or prejudice.'
But in general, Dr. Elam believes,
the national outlook for eliminating
the last traces of prejudice against
Negroes in medicine is most encou
raging Many medical schools are,
indeed, looking about anxiously for
more Negro students and many more
will be doing so soon. Moreover,
they are planning curriculum changes
and better educational methods for
grounding students in basic sciences
and communication skills in prepara
tion for medical practice.
The APA Manpower Commission
will need all the help it can get from
the media, from teachers, guidance
counselors, and other key persons in
encouraging Negro boys and girls to
enter medicine, Dr. Elam pleaded.
The APA Manpower Commission
Is headed by Dr. Daniel Blain, Clini
cal Professor of Psychiatry at the
University of Pennsylvania, and a
Past President of the American Psy
chiatric Association. Its membership
of 12 includes some of psychiatry's
most distinguished educators.

AFSC Seeks to
Probe Recent
Demonstrations
PHILADELPH!A-The American
Friends Service Committee called to
day for the appointment of a panel
of leading citizens to provide a forum
for the examination of the meaning
of last Friday's disturbance at the
school administration building. The
AFSC is in touch with other con
cerned groups about the feasibility of
this idea, according to Barbara Mof
fett, Community Relations Secre
tary.
"The events of the past few days
In Philadelphia present the city with
a crisis in its school system, in its
police-community relations, and in
planning for our Model Cities Pro
gram," Barbara Moffett said. "Only
when the meaning of these events is
thoughtfully assessed can we begin to
restore the health of Philadelphia."
Meanwhile, the AFSC made pub
lic today its full support of the
school board and the administration,
and its dismay,, at the tactics of the
Philadelphia police in breaking up
the demonstration before the school
administration building.
"The board of education and the
school administration were engigsd
in a truly exciting process of commu
nication with students about the re
levance of their education to their
lives. We support the board and the
administration in these efforts. Every
city in the nation is in a grave and
deepening crisis in public education.
Drastic changes in relationship be
tween school and community are
essential."
"Philadelphia should count itself
i lucky to have a superintendent,
; staff, and board committed to the
need for change and willing to take
pioneering steps."
The much-needed communication
1 between superintendent and students
• was cut short by the ill-advised as
sumption of authority by police,
according to the Quaker group. This
\ action was out of ail proportion to
the needs of the situation.
"Philadelphia should take what
ever steps are necessary to remove
the image of our city as one where
masses of police move in against
school children."
The AFSC, which operates pro-
I grams in support of quality educa
tion and of improved police-commu-
I nity relations in various parts of the
country, stated that last Friday's
action brings to a head a crisis in
' Philadelphia's police community re
lations;'
I "Experience in many other cities
' demonstrates that civil disorders are
often touched off by heavy-handed
police action," the Quaker group
said. "We are living under the false
impression that massive police action
, will contain the problems of our
cities, whereas in fact it only ag
gravates them by adding to the
! smoldering sense of resentment. The
'city must make a major revision in

Support for William Meek, exe
cutive director of the Areawide
Council, planning for the Model Cit
ies Program, was also voiced by the
AFSC. Meek, who serves on the
AFSC's National Community Rela
tions Committee, is under attack for

publication of leaflets distributed a

"It is tragic that the planning for

the AFSC said. "The work of the

William Meek has stated that if
