PRESIDENT WESLEY SPEAKS
AT BOWLING GREEN
Need for Strong Leaders
Emphasized by Educator
Dr. Charles H. Wesley president
of the Wilberforce College of Ed.
ucation and Industrial Arts told
the graduating class of seventy
five at the Bowling Green state
university commencement exer
cises, Bowling Green, Ohio, that
“new frontiers are not geographi
cal, but industrial, mechanical,
and scientific. Industrialization
was made more complex by the
appraoch of an atomic age,” the
speaker said. Dr. Frank J. Prout,
Bowling Green state university,
president, introduced Dr. Wesley
who spoke on the subject “New
Frontiers in Modem Life.'*
External chanes in life. Dr. Wes.
ley continued, have affected the
internal life of man by expanding
his intelligence, his concepts of
freedom, ad the need for the im
provement of human relations.
The qualities needed today for the
crossing of theBe new frontiers,
Wesley claimed, were similar to
those which were used by the
frontiers, of America's past. These
qualities were the affirmative
mind, a continually adequate pre
paration and the pioneer spirit.
This leadership, the Wilberforce
ducator declared, would largely
dtprmine whether atomic energy
would be used for good or evil
and whether the scientific age
would make it possible for
peoples to live together in peace
and brotherhood, or in war and
hatred.
President Frank J. Prout con
ferred the degrees and the hono
rary degree of Doctor in Aero
nautics on Warren G. Grimes,
Mayor of Urbana Urbabna, Ohio
and manufacturer and inventer of
aircraft materials.

The Road
To Health
By Clyde Donnell, M. D.
Malaria
People are oft^n unecessarily
worried when they are told they
have malaria, a disease which, in
most cases, can effectively con
troller and often need to do the
patient no permanent harm. An,
important achievement to come
out of the war was the
development of new drugs for the
suppression, treatment and cure
of malaria. If the facts were more
generally known, we could end
the fear whien prevents nriny
people from getting effective
treatment.
I remember Mrs. Wilson’s dis
tress when she called me to say
that her husband was ili. ‘ He
has chills and fever, headache,
and dizziness. He feels weak and
sick at his stomach, too,'’ she said.
“That’s malaria, isn’t it, doctor?
I’ve seen many people taken that
way. And he’ll have attacks all
his life, wonlt h£? They say you
never get rid of malaria.’'
“Now, you can’t be sure it’s
malaria. Other diseases have sim
ilar symptoms,” I told her. “And
even if it is malaria, you certainly
need not worry about his having
it the rest of his life. We know
some very effective ways treat
ing it.’’
Whn I saw Mr. Wilson end
found that his case really was
malaria, hg was terribly distress
ed. He told me that his mother
had died of the disease. He was
afraid that he, too, would die, nr
that, at best, he would never a
gain be able to be able to do use
ful work and support his family i
I immediately told him that his
fears were groundless. In the past
there were many deaths from
malaria. But efficient use of
drugs, such as those used by the !
military forces during the war.
resulted in almost no deaths from
malaria among the men and wo
men who served overseas in the
malaria-ridden Pacific and Medi- i
terranean regions. These dings I
were found to control the fever '
promptly during an attack and |
were most efficient in ridding the
body of the malarial parasites.
Moreover the time between at
tacks was lengthened.
I explain to the Wilsons that
they now had a responsibility to
see hat tlie malarial parasites in
the patient’s body were not
spread o others in the community.
Malaria is spread by the female
Anopheles mosquito. When the
mosquito bites a person who has
malaria, she such his blood con
taining parasites into her body.
If shg bites a well person some
two weeks later, she puts the par
asites into his blood, and after
about 8 to 14 days he will come
down with malaria. I told them
, that the patient must be kept well
screened so that mosquitoes
could not get at him.
To protect himself as far as pos
sibile, from future attacks, I
warned Mr. Wilson that he must
keep in physical condition. Sleep,
good food and fresh air required
to get well. The patient mu^t take
no drugs other than those pres
cribed by he doctor. I emphasi
zed that if he followed the course
of treatment carefully, there
was no reason why he should not
feel better sooa.
Here are some rules that every
one should follow to prevent mal
aria:
Screen your house, close chim
neys and fireplaces not in use.
Cover cracks in floors, walls and
ceilings. Kill mosquitoes that get
into your house. Clear up breed
ing places near your home.
Your community can do its
share by draining or filling-in
swamps and stagnant pools where
mosquitoes breed. Places that
cannot be drained or filled should
be sprayed. If we get rid of mos
quitoes, we can wipe out malaria.

Report on BEfC Bill—
Continued From Page One
put forth “for discussion purposes.
It would permit state legislatures
to act exempt their states from
the enforcement provisions of the
I bill. Senator Smith asked each
witness his opinion ■ of the amend
ment and practically all of the
proponents of our bill gave a
strong “No’’. Not only would Sen
ator Smith's amendment be a bad
precent for all federal legislation
but would give the veto power to
southern legislatures whose dem
ocratic mandates and intent are
highly questionable inasmuch as
they are based on an arbitrarily
restricted electorate due to the
poll-tax and Negro disfranchise
ment.
Committee Action and
Present Status of Bill
S-984 was acted upon by the
sub-committee after the hearings
and referred to the full Senate
Labor Committee with a recom
medation for “further study.’’ In |
view of the fact that three of the 1
five members of the sub-commit-1
tee were sponsors of our bill there
is no doubt but that there would
have been a flat recommendation
for favorable action had not Sen
ator Smith muddied the waters
in the way he didi. Senator Taft
announced that the full Labor
Committee had accepted and ad
opted the sub-committee state
ment expressing agreement on the
general purposes of th bill but not
on all of its provisions and there
fore was holding the bill in com
mittee until January when amend
ments may be offered by members
of the committee. Thus, Senator
Smith played right into the hands
of Senator Ellender, leader of the
southern opposition, *who prob
ably would not have been able I
to secure the delay on his own
account. A full analysis of this
sordid episode was made by Co
Chairman Randolph and released
soon after the recess. A copy will
be sent you on request.
We intend to expose such man
euvers, cloaked as they may be
with good intentions, whenever
they occur.
Our bill, then, is now in the full
Senate Labor Committee and wwe
are urging that it be voted out
immediately after Congress re
convenes in January. In the House
the bill, sponsored by eight Re
presentatives, is in the House
Labor Committee of which Con
gressman Fred C. Hartley of New
Jersey is the Chairman. We are
urging that action be taken in
the House in January likewise. Of
course, if Congress is re-called
earlier we will ask that our bill
be acted upon at that time.
The Congressianal Recess in
July makes no difference in the
status of the bill and when Con
gress returns it will take up
where it left off its consideration
of the FEPC and other measures.
Action Program
During Recess
The aim of the National Council
’and its local affiliates is to carry
out a campaign of mobilization
of every possible source of sup
port for the permanent FEPC
bill all over the country. This in
cludes the building of local coun
cils in every large city and com
mittees in every Congressional
district where they can be organ
teed. Our bill will pass or fail on
the strength of our public support
Favorable attitudes, potential ef
fort or latent activity will not
be enough. This bill must be an
issue throughout the country and
all individuals and groups who
have favored it must work actively
for it.
During the recess we ask you
and your organization to:
1. Canvass your Congressman
for his support of S.984 and HP..
2824 and compaion bills. If he is
in favor of it, ask him to do all
he can to get action on it when
Congress returns and to win
friends for it among his colleag
ues. If he is non-commital or op
posed, use every reasonable tech
nique at your command to win
him over. We have found two ma
jor handicaps in Congress: Con
gressmen often do not have time
to become familiar with all the
bills they are called upon to con
sider and frequently are won over
to a measure by the fact that it
is important to a considerable
number of their constituents.

legation of key constituents visit

your Congressman while at home.
Explain the purpose of th« bill,
its provisions and its importance.
Above all, point out the many
groups that are in favor of it.
Please let us know his attitude
on the bill as soon as possible.
During your canvass, register
your opposition to any crippling
amendments such as that Senator
Smith and another that is being
rumored of placing enforcement
in the hands of local officials. It
has been clearly demonstrated
that an Act of this nature can
best be administered by a Com
mission of sympathetic and
competent public servants who
have a national, not a local, ap
proach to the problem and whose
orders are enforceable by the
Courts.
vve are preparing an analysis of
the probable attitude of your Sen
ators and will send it to you
soon for your information and
use.
We are depending on you com
pletely for the preliminary House
canvass.
2. Contact your local political
leaders in both parties. Ask them
to endorse the bill and to use
their influence with Congressmen
and Senators toward its passage.
The choice of many voters in 1948
will be based solely on FEPC. Let
them know this.
3. Strengthen the organization
of your local council if there is
one in your city. If none, explore
the possibility of creating one.
The nucleus of local councils can
be formed from branches of na
tional organizations that have
supported our bill. Write for a
list and any other information
you need. We will be glad to
send it.
4. Secure endorsement for the
bill by top civic, religious, busi
ness labor and professional lead- I
ers. Ask all important and friend
ly organizations to pass resol*
tions urging passage of S.984 and
HR.2824. Publicize all these and
let us knc\v about them. They
are extremely valuable.
5. Publicize the bill through
every available channel. Brief,
but pointed letters to the ncws
papers are always helpful.

f COST OF CREATING
JOB NOW $8,000
Industry's average investment
per worker has risen from a boot
$6,000 in 1939 to at least . .6,600 In
early 1947, it is revealed in a
study made by the research de
partment of the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers.
The study showwed also that to
create an entirely new Job, install
ing: new machinery, etc., would
cost at least an average of $8,000
at the present tlme because of to
day’s higher price levels. The
study emphasized that there Is
wide variation in the investment
per worker in different industries.
In the chemical industry for in
stance, it costs more than $25,000
to supply one worker with equip
ment. In other industries the cost
is well below the current averags.
