Medical Group Swats
‘Bunk’ of Peddlers
New York, Sept. 22 (CNA)—The
psuedo-scientific claim peddled by
by raoe "theoreticians" that Ne
groes ejcudti and offensive odor,
peculiar to them1 elves, received a
resounding swat this week at the
Medical Advi.-ory board of the
Daily Worker.
An Atlanta, Ga., white worker,
who evidently rid himself of this
anti-Negro fiction, sent the fol
lowing inquiry to the board:
‘ Can you tell me if there is any
difference between the composition
of the sweat of a Negro ard a
white man? I would be grateful if
you would give me this informa
tion in ord"r to settle an argument.
Mv f-i.nd say>: there is a differ
ence.”
The board, which numbers some
of the leadmg physicians and spe
cialists in h*s city among its mem.
bers replied:
“As we have po'nted out many
t mes in the pa t, science, can en
tirely disprove the statement made
by your friend. No difference has
over been shown in the structure,
function, and excretion of Negroes
and whites.
“For that matter, seme time ago
we printed an answer to n question
from two groups as whether Ne
gro iskins give off a subs'ance
which has a particular smcl1.
“The fact is that all slons
Hack and white—g've off the same
smell, and the smell may be rar.cid
and offensive if not enough baths
are taken. The simple fact is that
■workers cannot take enough baths,
if they have to live in dwellings
without bathtubs, showers an ! run
ring water.
‘ M llions of workers, white rnd
Hal:, in t’is rii h land, rot only
1 m.v* no bathrooms, hut some even
1 **e no toilets and have to use out.
1 use —"11 the advertisements of
glo 'fir. I bathrooms in the luxury
magazines to the contrary.
“Workers, white or Negro, who
h 'vq no proper bathing facilities at
their factories, also smell after a
long day of dirty and hot work.”

Politics Funny In N.Y.
LaGuarda In Lead
New Yrk, Sept. 22 (ANP)—N«w
York isn’t New York any more,
said a song writer years ago, and
he was even more right now than
he was then.. Shades of Tammany
Hall chieftains. Who ever heard of
a Democratic candidate for Mayor
openly avowing his affection for
for the Republican party. And who
ever heard of a New York Rqpubli.
can candidate soliciting Tam
many patronage? Well, that’s
what's going on in these parts,
what wil Fiorella LaGuardia prac
tically assured of reelection on the
record of ‘‘the best Mayor New
York ever had." And rolling along
with LaGuardia is Special Prosecu.
tor Thomas E. Dewey, with ambi
tious eyes looking ahead to the
Governorship. Right now, Mr.
Dewey is content to win the elec
tion as District Attorney of New
York county. And a moret unpopu
lar man with crooks and criminals
could not have been found, unless
the politicians had gone after Ed
gar Hoover to take the job.
Dewey and LaGuardia are an
unbeatable pair say all signs and
Tammany is rushing helter skelter
trying to find tsome way to defeat
the crushing tide of votes these
two will surely pile up. Harlem has
paid particular attention to Mr.
LaGuardia because, they say Mr.
LaGuardia has paid particular at
tention to Harlem. He has dona
greater things for the community
than nny of is predecessors- and
according to the program mapped
oqt, he will continue to do things
for Harlem.
