That Call For Massive Registration
That massive stroke for all out voter registration made by
"Dr. M. L. King, Jr., in Montgomery, Ala., before leaders gathering
from 14 states is having a telling effect upon the tides now rolling 
in from these current struggles now before the Congress and
the American people in general.
It is of interest that apparently the move for the protection
of voters received a token gesture from the deep South where
Negro voting in the early nineteen hundreds, dwindled into insignificance. 
Wholesale disfranchisement was the policy of the
Southern states and with its one-party system, fortified further by
a county unit, there came to it a representation and a government 
by minority of the voters.
Dr. King would proclaim a new crusade; a struggle meant
for the Negro group to attempt to vote much of their troubles out
on the political front.
With the right to vote protected, it can be said that there
is still left some life in the Civil Rights bill.
Let the Negro, if this is all that avails for him at the present,
make the most of this half loaf left in his hands. Let the movement
begun in Montgomery spread throughout the southland and may
our people make full use of this effective instrument left in their
hands.
The meeting also condemned the Patterson practice of reprisal 
made against certain citizens and upon their peaceful institutions. 

In a raid at his behest, private offices and a printing office
were swooped down upon and matter seized. Such as our civil
orders in peace time has never witnessed.
Resolutions were passed, condemning the Tuskegee Shrinkage
law introduced by Alabama State Senator Englehardt for the
obvious purpose of outlawing Negro voters living within the confines 
of Tuskegee proper.
Certainly these glaring disclosures would deserve the all out
challenge of a struggling people.
Be it said to those who were disappointed with the Congressional 
action, the powerful media of the right to vote still
remains; it is the guiding star to our liberties and to that fuse
may be flung a torch which would blow the lid from political
slavery, civic transgression and defiance glorified!

REVIEWING
THE NEWS
BY WILLIAM GORDON
Those who read the Bible with a sense of seriousness often
come away with a feeling that's indescribable. More than this,
one cannot come away without being struck with a sense of conversion, 
even though he may read the same passage a thousand
times.
This is sufficient reason for me to suggest the Bible to that
group of so-called Catholic churchmen in Louisiana who took
strong issue with Archbishop Joseph F. Rummel on his
stand with
integration.
The delegation went over the Bishop's head, and wrote to
the Vatican in protest to his stand for integration.
The churchmen, in taking this position, in all probability had
not thoroughly read their Bible; especially that part in the Book
of Acts; 8th Chapter, beginning with the 26th Verse.
These churchmen should get acquainted with Philip in this
Biblical passage. They would learn that this Christian emissary
went South from Jerusalem into the desert where he met an
Ethiopian of note and distinction. There was no argument or
protest about race; Philip met the Ethiopian and converted him;
to Christianity. He was the first black man to accept the teachings
of Christ. The time was around 40 A. D.
Ever since this mementous day, true and genuine Christians
have looked, not at the color of a man's skin, but at the condition
of his soul. Such is the criteria by which civilized mankind judge
men for position and status.
The reply from the Vatican in Rome to the Louisiana Church
clarified this and the real purpose of the Church, when it said
it "is concerned with souls, and all souls are equally dear to her."
It took the position that all forms of discrimination — are wrong, as
much in New Orleans as in the Union of South Africa.
It is apparent that the Louisiana churchmen were acting on
political, rather than human values. This has been the danger in
many areas of the South. Men have been more willing to let
their souls become slaves to a pattern rather than accept the
ethics of Christianity.
When one views the action in Louisiana in its whole perspective, 
it is easy to understand why 10,000 Negro qualified voters
have been purged. One can also see why the legislature would
fight to fortify segregation. Although the Church forbids bigotry,
it is difficult to change souls in a climate so long steeped in sin.
But by contract, it is not difficult to see why a young white athlete
would abandon the state of Louisiana because there are state
laws forbidding him to compete with Negroes. Wounds left by
segregation are often festered with bitterness, void of logic, and
difficult to define. One is captured by the force of meaning here
in the case of segregation and the Holy See.

Endorse Woman For State
Representative In Illinois
The 4th
Ward Regular Democratic Organization 
on Tuesday endorsed Mrs.
Floy Clements for nomination as
state representative from the 22nd
District at a special meeting held
in the ward headquarters.
Aid. Claude W. B. Holman, Democratic 
committeeman, told the
meeting, "The Fourth Ward is proud
that it will send to the General
Assembly the first Negro woman in

the history of the State of Illinois." 

The legislative post for which
Mrs. Clements was endorsed is that
now held by Rev. Cecil A. Partee.
Rap. Partee has moved out of the
22nd Representative District from
which he was elected and will be
a candidate from the 21st District
in 1958. Both districts customarily
send two Democrats to the lower
house in Springfield

SEEING and SAYING
BY WILLIAM A. FOWLKES
Managing Editor — Atlanta Daily World
THEY WOKE ME up the other night!
A group of early teen-agers were marching in dead earnest
and precision to the hep-hep commands of their leader. It was a
late hour, but they were marching and haying fun at it. They
could have been in some other sort of mischief, if marching
through the streets and park could be called mischief.
But, I understood their "noise" immediately
and sympathized with them. They Were expressing 
their bubbling, youthful energies and, incidently, 
a community neglect. What they needed
and wanted is ROTC training, of which there is
none for Negro youth in the Atlanta area, only a
simulated version at one state college for Negroes
in Georgia and comparatively few for the group
on the college level in the entire Southland.


THE SPIRITUAL emphasis of "Ain't Gonna Study War No.
More" is beautiful, but means little in out civilization of wars and
rumors of wars when preparedness is necessary and inevitable.
We, too, must study the art of the military and benefit from its
training and its welfare. Our boys must be made into men!
So, let them march! However, let's help them march with
direction and under supervision of ROTC. They will get something 
from it; so will we!
Responsible leaders should attack the continued excuses that
there is no more money left for designation of new ROTC units.
Our defense expenditures go up millions yearly. They include
ROTC funds!

YOU CAN DIE LAUGHING
By A.A. FAIR (ERLE STANLEY GARDNER)

the well-known Cool & Lam private 
investigating agency has a troublesome 
new case tracing a missing
person for a Texan client, Lawton
Corning. After paving indicated that
his problem was an oil well deal, the
Texas employs the agency to find a
Mrs. Drury Wells. Donald Lam and
his partner. Bertha Cool, ask a $1,000
retainer, but Corning agrees only to
a $150 advance. The Texan explains.
"This is relatively a small case. I
want to keep It small." Donald, the
narrator of the story, drives to the
home of Drury Wells in Southern
California and finds Wells to be both
Uncooperative and unconcerned about
his wife. Wells simply says that she
walked out on him three days earlier.
However, a neighbor. Mrs. Frances
Raleigh, blurts out 'suspicions of
what has happened to Mrs. Wells She
tells Donald that she heard a fight
at night, a scream, a thud, then silence 
followed by Drury Wells' trip
to his garage with a big bundle like
a woman's body rolled up in a rug
over his shoulder. ...
"HE WAS CARRYING a woman's 
body? Could you see
her?" I asked Mrs. Raleigh.
"Of course not. The poor creature 
was all roiled up in a blanket
or a rug, or something. I couldn't
see her, but I could see him. The
way that bundle acted, it was just
exactly as though a body was inside 
it. It was over his shoulder,
and it was heavy and sort of
wiggling back and forth, the way
a warm, limp body would be wiggling. 
Well, not wiggling, but
swaying. And he went inside the
garage, and I saw the garage
light come on. And then I heard
the door of the trunk compartment 
bang shut. You know the
kind of a tinny sound that you
get from slamming down the
trunk door on a car."
"Can you describe her?" I
asked.
"She was rather small and very
good-looking. She wasn't over
twenty-six and she may have been
younger. I don't know what in
the world a woman like that
could see in a man like Drury
Wells. I don't think she weighed
over a hundred and ten or twelve,
and she was about five feet and
two inches tall."
"What color were her eyes?"
"Blue. She had natural red
hair and she certainly looked
mighty cute in her shorts. She
nearly always wore them."
I said, "I suppose you went
back, to bed after he—?"
"Went back to bed, nothing! I
sat there and watched, and do
you know what happened, Mr.
Lam? That man went out back
of the garage and picked up a
shovel and a pick."
"Was there enough light so
you could see what he picked
up?"
"Well, not enough so that I
could  to It by  it,
but I  the end of the pick
knock against the shovel. You
know the kind of a sound—metal
on metal."
"Go on," I said,"
"Well, tie put on the lights in
the house, he loaded the pick and
shovel in the automobile and
turned out the lights in the
garage, and then he eased the
car out along the driveway until
the house was between me and
the car. He stopped the car there
for a few minutes, then he drove
out to the street and took off."
"I take it," I said, "you notified
the police?"
"Notified the police!" she exclaimed. 
"It was bad" enough
when I notified my husband! The
minute I told him about it, he
almost snapped my head off. He
told me if I stayed in my bed at
nights instead of wandering
around in a bathrobe looking for
scandal, that Td live a lot happier 
life."
"When did Wells return?"
"He returned in two hours and
forty-five minutes. Now, the way
I figure it out, Mr. Lam, is this:
He must have gone down to one
of the beaches."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because," she said, "that's the
only place you could bury a body
and get back in two hours and
forty-five minutes. Even then,
he'd have to do some pretty fast
driving and there wouldn't be
time for a very deep grave. You
take a man digging with a shovel,
and if he's digging in the right
kind of moist sand, I figure he
can dig a pretty good grave in
forty-five minutes."
"You saw him drive in?" I
asked.
"Yes."
"Did you see him take anything
out of the car?"
"No, He just drove the car
into the garage and then went inside 
the house. I saw the light
come on in the kitchen."
"And you didn't see Mrs. Wells
after that?"
"That I did not"
"What did you do?"
"Well, I didn't do anything
That is, I— Well, I  have to
borrow a little sugar late that
morning. I found I was all out of
sugar, so I went over and knocked
on the kitchen door the way I always 
do with neighbors just
being neighborly, you know."
"And what happened?"
"Mr. Wells came to the kitchen
door, and I asked him if I could
talk with Mrs. Wells, and he said
she was lying down, that she had
a headache, and he asked me
what I wanted, and I told him I
wanted a cup of sugar. So he
went and got me the cup of
sugar."
"Was that the last that you
borrowed?"
That was the last that I  only I returned it later
on. I filled the cup right up with
sugar and took it over to the
kitchen door."
"And asked for Mrs. Wells?"
"That's right";
"And what did he tell you?"
"He said Mrs. Wells had taken
the bus uptown. And I know very
well she hadn't, because I'd been
watching that house. I know she
wasn't around there anyplace,"
"Whom else have you told this
to, Mrs. Raleigh?"
"Well, there was some gentleman 
named Corning, a big, outdoor 
type of man, who came here
yesterday afternoon and said
that he was trying to get some
information about the people next
door. I talked to him a little—
not too much because Wendell
has always cautioned me about
talking too much to strangers."
"You told him substantially
what you've told me?"
"Well, I answered his questions. 
I certainly wasn't going
to stick my neck out with a lot of
surmises, but I wasn't going to
be churlish and not answer the
man's questions."
I said, "I want to compliment
you on your powers of observation. 
If you don't mind my saying 
so, I think that you'd have
made an excellent detective."
"Now, do you " she said,
beaming all over. "Well, that's
really a compliment, Mr. Lam.
Now, that's something I'd like to
have my husband hear."
We shook hands and I went
back over to Drury Wells' place.
I rang the front doorbell. A voice
from the inside called, "Who is
it?"
"Lam," I shouted through the
closed door.
"What do you want?"
"A picture of your wife. Have
you got one?"
"No!"
I tried the door. The latch was
on. I walked away from the front
door, around to the back of the
house. I looked in the garage.
The jalopy in there was pretty
much battered up. I was making
a note of the license number when
the light on my notebook suddenly 
grew dim. I looked back
it over my shoulder. Wills was
standing in the door.
"I don't like guys prowling
around my place;" he said.
"Any objection if I look in
your automobile?" I asked.
"Yes."
I eased along the wall of the
garage and got-out the door.
"You don't need to come back,"
Wells told me. "And you might
tell that nosy old biddy over there
next door that it she keeps on
shooting off her mouth, I'm going 
to see a lawyer."
"That would cost you money,"
I told him. "You might call the
police and ask  to talk with
her."
"You know, where you can go,"
he told me.
He followed me out, stood
watching me as I walked over to
the neighbors on the other side of
his house.

standing in the door.
"I don't like guys prowling
around my place;" he said.
"Any objection if I look in
your automobile?" I asked.
"Yes."
I eased along the wall of the
garage and got-out the door.
"You don't need to come back,"
Wells told me. "And you might
tell that nosy old biddy over there
next door that it she keeps on
shooting off her mouth, I'm going 
to see a lawyer."
"That would cost you money,"
I told him. "You might call the
police and ask  to talk with
her."
"You know, where you can go,"
he told me.
He followed me out, stood
watching me as I walked over to
the neighbors on the other side of
his house.


CHAPTER 5
By A.A. FAIR (ERLE STANLEY GARDNER)

the well-known Cool & Lam private 
investigating agency has a troublesome 
new case tracing a missing
person for a Texan client, Lawton
Corning. After paving indicated that
his problem was an oil well deal, the
Texas employs the agency to find a
Mrs. Drury Wells. Donald Lam and
his partner. Bertha Cool, ask a $1,000
retainer, but Corning agrees only to
a $150 advance. The Texan explains.
"This is relatively a small case. I
want to keep It small." Donald, the
narrator of the story, drives to the
home of Drury Wells in Southern
California and finds Wells to be both
Uncooperative and unconcerned about
his wife. Wells simply says that she
walked out on him three days earlier.
However, a neighbor. Mrs. Frances
Raleigh, blurts out 'suspicions of
what has happened to Mrs. Wells She
tells Donald that she heard a fight
at night, a scream, a thud, then silence 
followed by Drury Wells' trip
to his garage with a big bundle like
a woman's body rolled up in a rug
over his shoulder. ...
"HE WAS CARRYING a woman's 
body? Could you see
her?" I asked Mrs. Raleigh.
"Of course not. The poor creature 
was all roiled up in a blanket
or a rug, or something. I couldn't
see her, but I could see him. The
way that bundle acted, it was just
exactly as though a body was inside 
it. It was over his shoulder,
and it was heavy and sort of
wiggling back and forth, the way
a warm, limp body would be wiggling. 
Well, not wiggling, but
swaying. And he went inside the
garage, and I saw the garage
light come on. And then I heard
the door of the trunk compartment 
bang shut. You know the
kind of a tinny sound that you
get from slamming down the
trunk door on a car."
"Can you describe her?" I
asked.
"She was rather small and very
good-looking. She wasn't over
twenty-six and she may have been
younger. I don't know what in
the world a woman like that
could see in a man like Drury
Wells. I don't think she weighed
over a hundred and ten or twelve,
and she was about five feet and
two inches tall."
"What color were her eyes?"
"Blue. She had natural red
hair and she certainly looked
mighty cute in her shorts. She
nearly always wore them."
I said, "I suppose you went
back, to bed after he—?"
"Went back to bed, nothing! I
sat there and watched, and do
you know what happened, Mr.
Lam? That man went out back
of the garage and picked up a
shovel and a pick."
"Was there enough light so
you could see what he picked
up?"
"Well, not enough so that I
could  to It by  it,
but I  the end of the pick
knock against the shovel. You
know the kind of a sound—metal
on metal."
"Go on," I said,"
"Well, tie put on the lights in
the house, he loaded the pick and
shovel in the automobile and
turned out the lights in the
garage, and then he eased the
car out along the driveway until
the house was between me and
the car. He stopped the car there
for a few minutes, then he drove
out to the street and took off."
"I take it," I said, "you notified
the police?"
"Notified the police!" she exclaimed. 
"It was bad" enough
when I notified my husband! The
minute I told him about it, he
almost snapped my head off. He
told me if I stayed in my bed at
nights instead of wandering
around in a bathrobe looking for
scandal, that Td live a lot happier 
life."
"When did Wells return?"
"He returned in two hours and
forty-five minutes. Now, the way
I figure it out, Mr. Lam, is this:
He must have gone down to one
of the beaches."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because," she said, "that's the
only place you could bury a body
and get back in two hours and
forty-five minutes. Even then,
he'd have to do some pretty fast
driving and there wouldn't be
time for a very deep grave. You
take a man digging with a shovel,
and if he's digging in the right
kind of moist sand, I figure he
can dig a pretty good grave in
forty-five minutes."
"You saw him drive in?" I
asked.
"Yes."
"Did you see him take anything
out of the car?"
"No, He just drove the car
into the garage and then went inside 
the house. I saw the light
come on in the kitchen."
"And you didn't see Mrs. Wells
after that?"
"That I did not"
"What did you do?"
"Well, I didn't do anything
That is, I— Well, I  have to
borrow a little sugar late that
morning. I found I was all out of
sugar, so I went over and knocked
on the kitchen door the way I always 
do with neighbors just
being neighborly, you know."
"And what happened?"
"Mr. Wells came to the kitchen
door, and I asked him if I could
talk with Mrs. Wells, and he said
she was lying down, that she had
a headache, and he asked me
what I wanted, and I told him I
wanted a cup of sugar. So he
went and got me the cup of
sugar."
"Was that the last that you
borrowed?"
That was the last that I  only I returned it later
on. I filled the cup right up with
sugar and took it over to the
kitchen door."
"And asked for Mrs. Wells?"
"That's right";
"And what did he tell you?"
"He said Mrs. Wells had taken
the bus uptown. And I know very
well she hadn't, because I'd been
watching that house. I know she
wasn't around there anyplace,"
"Whom else have you told this
to, Mrs. Raleigh?"
"Well, there was some gentleman 
named Corning, a big, outdoor 
type of man, who came here
yesterday afternoon and said
that he was trying to get some
information about the people next
door. I talked to him a little—
not too much because Wendell
has always cautioned me about
talking too much to strangers."
"You told him substantially
what you've told me?"
"Well, I answered his questions. 
I certainly wasn't going
to stick my neck out with a lot of
surmises, but I wasn't going to
be churlish and not answer the
man's questions."
I said, "I want to compliment
you on your powers of observation. 
If you don't mind my saying 
so, I think that you'd have
made an excellent detective."
"Now, do you " she said,
beaming all over. "Well, that's
really a compliment, Mr. Lam.
Now, that's something I'd like to
have my husband hear."
We shook hands and I went
back over to Drury Wells' place.
I rang the front doorbell. A voice
from the inside called, "Who is
it?"
"Lam," I shouted through the
closed door.
"What do you want?"
"A picture of your wife. Have
you got one?"
"No!"
I tried the door. The latch was
on. I walked away from the front
door, around to the back of the
house. I looked in the garage.
The jalopy in there was pretty
much battered up. I was making
a note of the license number when
the light on my notebook suddenly 
grew dim. I looked back
it over my shoulder. Wills was
standing in the door.
"I don't like guys prowling
around my place;" he said.
"Any objection if I look in
your automobile?" I asked.
"Yes."
I eased along the wall of the
garage and got-out the door.
"You don't need to come back,"
Wells told me. "And you might

shooting off her mouth, I'm going

2 New Orleans Officers
Promoted To Sergeant
Two
Negro members of the New Orleans
Police Department were promoted
to the positions of desk sergeant
last week after placing first and
second in a civil service examination 
for the post. Sworn in by Superintendent 
Provosty A. Dayries
were Sidney Dates, 26, and Warren 
Aubry 36.
Their promotions marked the
first time in the history of New
Orleans that Negroes have attained 
the rank of police sergeant.
During modern times, Negroes
have served as policemen since
June 1950. However, the department 
employed Negro officers from
1877 to 1909.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
By
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT


We wish to say a good word for
church attendance. The Church
that grew out of the life and Ministry 
of Jesus Christ.
Of course the church, made up
of human beings like you and me is
imperfect. It has not lived up fully
to its ideals. Yet it remains the
dressing room of heaven and the
vestibule to paradise. From its pulpit 
the good news of a Savior, is proclaimed. 
To it our dear dead loved
piles will be carried for the sweet
offices of faith, hope and love. In
it we pledge our loyalties which
alone can change his beautiful but
wounded world into the family of
God.
But do we attend church as We
ought? Church attendance is a
means of growth It is a duty and
privilege that should not be slighted 
or ignored.
Neglect of God's house is sin.
Though we read the Bible at home,
though We have the altar of prayer
at home, we must not forsake "our
own assembling together." According 
to Hebrews 10:25, 26, we "sin
wilfully" when we do. If a christian
is a christian, he must not neglect
the house of God.
The boy Jesus delighted in the
privileges of synagogue and temple
attendance. During his public ministry 
he went into the synagogue
on the Sabbath Day "as his custom 
was." Jesus felt the need of
the sanctuary, and formed the habit
of seeking helpful associations to
be found there.
Church attendance is good business. 
God will honor those who
honor him. The probability of success 
will be greatly enhanced in
business, professional, agricultural
and industrial life if one respects
and honors God's house.
You would not buy real estate, you
would not want to raise a family
in a city without churches. Kill
church attendance you kill the
Church; kill the church you will
have anarchy and chaos and hell itself. 

Let nothing stand between you
and regular attendance upon the
sanctuary services. If you work in
the day, go at night. That is why
night services were created. Don't
neglect heaven's recruiting ground.
Enlist not for a season but forever
Remember Jesus loved the church
and gave his life for the church.
Yes, let us attend church to drink
in the soothing music of the grand
old hymns and anthems. Yes, let
us attend church to hear the witchery 
of the gospel intoned by the
preacher. Yes, let us attend church
to feel an arousement within us of
the sweetness of the tie that binds
in christian love. Yes, let us attend
Church to find peace and comfort.
Yes, let us attend church to bring
a sacrificial offering. Yes, let us
attend church to find the highway
to glory and eternity. Yes, let us
attend church to sing the great old.
hymns that comfort and bless, for
example:
I love thy church, O God! ......
Her walls, before thee stand ......
Dear as the apple of thine eye ......
and graven on thy hand.
For her my tears shall fail ......
For, her my prayers ascend .......
To her my cares and toils be given.
...... Till toils and cares shall end.

Egypt

representatives have been exploring 
the possibilities of raising a

aid for the Sultan of Muscat and
Oman, did not raise the Oman issue 
when the Afro-Asian bloc held
a meeting at United Nationals
headquarters Tuesday.
After consultation with the nine
other Arab states, it was decided
apparently at the last minute to
leave the matter in abeyance until
the full Arab League Council meets
in Cairo.
Afro-Asian delegates arriving for
the meeting Tuesday had said they
had been informed that the Oman
issue would probably be raised.
The discussion, however, was limited 
to Indonesia's request that the
bloc support her in her attempt to
have the General Assembly again
consider the question of West New
Guinea at the forthcoming Assembly 
session.
Oman has been the scene of a
power struggle between the Sultan,
Said bin Taimur, temporal ruler,
and Sheikh Chalib bin All, rebellion
Inman or spiritual leader.
The Sultan is allied with Great
Britain; the Inman, with King
Saud of Saudi Arabia. Three
weeks ago the Inman returned
from exile to lead the revolt with
his brother, Talib.
Sir Bernard Burrows, British Political 
Resident for the Persian
Gulf area, has said the trouble
seemed to have been fostered from
outside the country.

Health facilities
Being Expanded
The second
phase of a $90 million program to
encourage expansion of the Nation's
health research facilities was announced 
Saturlay by Dr. Leroy E.
Burney, Surgeon General of the
Public Health Service.
Under the 1958 appropriation for
the Department of Health, Education, 
and Welfare, Dr. Burney approved 
100 grants to 77 institutions
totaling $26501,643 Dr. Burney's
action followed the recommendation
of the National Advisory Council
on Health Research Facilities.
"It is apparent," said Dr. Burney.
"that this program is meeting a
nation-wide need for assistance in
the construction of health research
facilities."
The Surgeon General pointed
out that the 77 institutions include
hospitals, universities, research institutes, 
and schools of medicine,
dontistry, and public health in 30
states and the District of Columbia.
Originally authorized by the 84th
Congress, the 3-year program is
scheduled to receive $30 million each
year "to assist in the construction
of facilities for research in medicine 
osteopathy, dentistry, and public 
health and fundamental and applied 
sciences when related thereto."
A total or 109 grants to nonprofit 
institutions in 31 States was previously 
awarded under the $30 million 
appropriation for the fiscal

New Research
Center Planned
For Nairobi
A
new medical, research foundation
which has been set up in America,
plans to raise more than $1,750,000
to build a research centre and hospital 
in Nairobi, the East African
Standard reported. Known as the
African Research Foundation, the
American body has been formed
following a campaign by a well
known Nairobi surgeon, Mr. Michael
Wood, who returned recently from
a tour of America and Britain.
Mr. Wood said: "The members of
the committee of the foundation are
interested in medical research in
the whole of Africa but it is the
intention to take the first step by
building "this hospital for reconstructive 
and accident surgery and
a ralio therapy unit for cancer patients." 

A two-way flow of post-graduate
students between East Africa, America 
and Britain would probably
be started, said Mr. Wood There
had been considerable support from
British sources for the scheme.
The new hospital, which will cost
about $750,000 will be controlled by
a board of trustees and will operate
in the closest co-operation with the
East African High Commission and
the Kenya Government medical departments 
Work on the new hospital, 
which may be built hear the
king George VI Hospital in Nairobi
is expected to start next year. Patienls 
of all races will be able to receive 
treatment at the centre, which
will be endowed by the African Research 
Foundation for some years
after it has been built.
