Dental Society
Votes to Admit
Negro Dentists
ST. LOUIS—(ANP)—The St.
Louis Dental Society voted last
week to admit professionally and
ethically qualified Negro dentists
as members of the organization.
The 231 members who voted in
a closed meeting at the Hotel
Statler decided 151 to 80 to invite
colored dentists to become fully
! accredited members of the organi
sation.
Dr. Max Kornfeld, president of
the society, supported the meas
ure, but as presiding officer was
not allowed to take part in the
debate which lasted for two hours.
Dr. J. Floyd Alcorn introduced
the formal motion, and it was sec
onded by Dr. Benno E. Lischer,
dean emeritus of Washington uni
versity School of Dentistry.
Nine other speakers strongly en
dorsed the proposal. They in
cluded Dr. Otto W. Brandhorst,
dean of Washington University
School of Dentistry and president
elect of the American Dental
Association; Dr. Lee Roy Main,
dean of St. Louis University
School of Dentistry, and Dr. Edgar
H. Keys.
Dr. Kornfeld, who previously
had appealed to members of the
society to admit Negro dentists,
desciibed the action as a clarifica
tion of the members’ wishes rather
than the establishment of a new
principle, since the present con
stitution has no provision to bar
Negroes.

Seeks Unknown
For Treatment
i Nebraska citizens were re
minded Thursday by the Nebraska
State Medical Association to get a
simple diabetes test from their
family physicians before the third
annual diabetes detection week
'nds this Saturday.
The detection program is being
sponsored by the state medical
I association through its Diabetes
Committee, headed by Dr. Morris
Margolin, Omaha. Purpose of the
special week is to find many of
Nebraska’s unknown, untreated
diabetic patients. The Nebraska
campaign is part of a nation-wide
i fight being carried on against dia
betes during national Diabetes
Week, November 11-17.
Dr. Margolin stated that the
program is being conducted with
the support of Nebraska doctors
and with excellent cooperation
from druggists throughout the
state.
{ “With the end of national Dia
betes Week approaching,” the
committee chairman added, “we
want to recommend to all citizens
of Nebraska that they get a dia
betes check at once if they have
not already done so. This is most
important if the unknown dia
betics are to be given immediate
help.**
! To help in the recognition oi
. diabetes, the following symptoms
3 were pointed out:
> Itching
' Increase in thirst
. Frequent urination
Changing vision
Loss of weight in spite of good appetite
Pains in the arms and legs
Dr. Margolin said that some
types of persons are more apt to
have diabetes than others. They
are:
Relatives of diabetics
Fleshy persons
Those over 40
Persons feeling "below par”
Patients recovering from acute illness
In spite of these recognition
points, he warned, a person may
have diabetes without showing
any of the above symptoms. “Dia
betes does not respect race, age
or sex. It is apt to strike any
family.”

held out an olive branch to
southern Democrats who are badly
split from the northern and west

t President Truman in 1952.
5 At a press conference the ne\
Democratic chairman said h
would get in touch with sou then
as well as northern Democrats if
Congress to strengthen part}
, liaison.
I Asked whether that included
Senators Harry F. Byrd of Vir
ginia and James O. Eastland of
Mississippi bitter critics of the
administration, McKinney replied
that “They are Democrats in my
book.”
“I’m chairman of the Demo
cratic party.” said McKinney.
“Mr. Byrnes is a Democrat. I’m
going to do everything in my
power to coordinate the party
as a whole.
McKinney said he would spend
the next two months studying
“hot” issues as well as reorganiz
ing the committee staff to “dis
seminate information—tell our
story to the country.” He said he
did not yet know whether the
South was a “hot issue.”
A reporter asked if he accepted
“the full Fair Deal program, in
cluding civil rights.”
“I’m for whatever the party
says, yes” replied McKinney. “I’m
going to support party politics
and the platform of the Demo
cratic party. If I didn’t believe
that, I wouldn’t be here.”
The nurses were welcomed to
the campus of Tuskegee Institute
by Dr. L. A. Derbigny, vice-presi
dent of Tuskegee.
The nurses voted to continue
their two-point program of (1) a
National Scholarship Fund to aid
nurses to obtain a degree in Nurs

ing young women for nurse train
ing. The program was expanded
to include support of health ed
ucation in Africa and a fund to aid
victims of rheumatic fever.
