1 efit here next week for the

that these national figures have
agreed to participate in this
worthwhile cause," said Dr.
Elmer Anderson of Los An
geles, a member of the board
of directors of the foundation
j and medical director of the new
sprawling Martin Luther King
Hospital, currently being con
structed In Los Angeles.
"This benefit performance be
comes even more significant,"
added Anderson, "when one con
siders that authorities estimate
that two out of every 25 Ameri
can blacks carry the sickle cell
trait."

will join several other figures
for a concert and football game
to be staged In Groves Stadium

According to Anderson, sickle

that occurs mainly in people of
African extraction, primarily of
the mid-portions of Africa and
is usually seen in the black
populations of the United States.
We certainly have good reason
to want to lead in the fight
against this dread disease."
