Tho a ssociation has been fight , ing President Rosevelt’s plan for socialized medicine on the grounds virtually all persons in need of medical service could now ob tain it. This report, however, in dicates that Negroes arc not be ins' adequately served by priv ate medicine and unless private medicine displays an initiative hitherto lacking, socialized medi cine is apparently their only sal vation. Negroes are approximately 60 percent of the total population of Mississippi. In 1938 there were 1.00 hospitals in the state, 75 of them registered, with 2,381 beds for whites in general hospitals and only 7.31 for Negroes. There aro also five regis'ered hospitals devoted exclusively to Negroes with a total of 112 beds. In 19.34 ' only 43 general hospitals accept ed patients of both races, but to day that number ha-< been raised to 70. Last year of 6,698 hospit al births just 479 were of Ncgro l es‘ It is estimated that 75 percent [ of the deaths from tuberculosis in that sta e are colored.

The report also points out that the demand for medical care a mong the state’s 50 per en* Negr population “is likely to be less than among whites.” It was not explained how this conclusion was reached in veiw of the high death rate from tuberculosis.

The propor tion of colored physicians, one to each 14,221 persons for a total of 71 in Mississippi, is the highest ii ho nation for a state. The na tional average is 2.984 to each physician, while for the North it b 1,497 to one. Tho FSA. has worked out a plan whereby in lends between $12 an l $39 annually per fam !y for medical care.

But despite the lack of hosrital .'.pace, small number of ho1 pits 1 births, lack of doc.ors, etc., toe A. M. A. report closes by saying that: “Extensive inquiry among all classes of the population including doctors, health officers, nurses and residents, the almost uniform response is that there is practic ally no one in Mississippi who can not receive medical care regard less of his ability to pay.” The report did not state how many, if any, Negroes had been questioned on this matter. 375 NYA Youths Win College Honors Philadelphia.

SOLtilOX ) TODAY'S HEXOQRAR New Stars Shine at Nat’l AAU. Meet I incoln. Neb. Aug. 3 (ANP)— ; Two colored stars who loom er probable members of the 1940 U. P Olympic team were uncovered here last Monday and Tuesday a*, the 1st annual National A. A. U. track meet. They are Joe Ba tiste, hurdlng high school boy from Tucson. Ariz., and Norwood “Bar ney” Ewell, Penn State freshman. At the same time several of the old reliables came through, among them Bill I.acefield of Los Ange les and Lilbut'n Williams of Xaxier while others fell by the wayside, j Batiste, who came to the meet unknown except for his immediate vicinity, astounded the assem in the junior championships Mon- j day by setting a new record of ' 14.4 seconds in the 110 meter high hurdles and then pushing Marsh Parmer, Texas Tech white boy, < to a 14.2 victory in the final. Next day in the senior events Batiste showed even more class by trim- j ining Fred Wolcott of Rice, Allen 1 Tolmich of Wayne, Farmer and other stars to win in 14.1. It is understood that the young star plans to enter Ohio State in the fall of 1940. Ewell is not exactly an un known, for as a high school stu dent he won several national , sprint championships and during the recent indoor season he set a new world record in the 50 yard dash. But he was not expected to defeat Clyde Jeffrey of Stanford who all spring has been pushing Jesse Owens’ world record in the 200 meter dash. Yet Ewell whip ped Jeffrey by a foot in the fine time of 21 seconds flat. Mack Robinson, second to Jesse Owens at Berlin, failed to survive the preliminaries.

Lilburn Williams tossed the shot 53 feet 7 inches for first, just seven eights better than Watson who was second also in this event. Long John Woodruff of Pitt, 800 meter champion, withdrew to give Curtis Giddings of New York U. a clean shot at the title and the chance to go to Europe this summer on the American team, but Giddings failed to place. Woodruff did run the 400, but was | nosed out by Erwin Miller of Southern California in 48.3 sec onds. Jim Herbert of New York U. was third and Fred Alliniece of Prairie View, who Monday won the junior championship in 48.5, was fourth. Archie W'illiams, Oly mpic champion, finished out of the money. Herbert Thompson of New Jer sey, Barney Ewell and Mozel El lerbe of Tuskegee were second third and fourth in the 100 meters behind Jeffrey who won in 10.2 with a stxonog tailwind Ben Johnson, last year's champion, failed to place.
