Corner Columbia Clifford 2924 OUSTING OF VET HOSPITAL OFFICIALS AROUSES NEGROES DEMS SEEK TO PUCE WHITES Opelika, Ala.—Charges that a definite plot to replace the Negro officials at Tuskegee Veterans Hospital with whites led to the re- cent Indictment of fifteen former officers and employes of that insti- ( tution. are being freely voiced here. Opinion expressed in circles usually well informed is to the es-! feet that the plotters definitely chose the time to bring the dis- 1 charges to pass, fighting that und a Democratic organization it would be easier to carry out their planß. The Tuskegee Veterans Hospital was created by a Republican Con- gress and established by Presi- dent Warren G. Harding, who stood adamant on the plea of Dr. R. R. Mot on against the wishes of the Democratic South that a white official staff be kept in charge and Negroes given places only as un- derlings, orderlies, maids and flunkeys. Dedicated by Coolidge The hospital was dedicated by Vice-President Calvin Coolidge. later to become Republican presi- dent of the United States. Presi- dent Coolidge maintained the same keen interest in the hospital as had characterized President Hard- ing’s regime. It was not until a Democratic administration came into power ‘ihat the South felt free to press its deep-laid and persistent plans to cast aspersion upon the Negro leadership at the institution. During Republican administra- tion the hospital was repeatedly cited for excellence in administra- tion and efficiency. Laxness on the part of the officers in charge, who it is said became involved after a time in the petty and trifling ap- propriation of supplies, reliably reported not to exceed S3OO over a period of years, gave the enemies of the institution their opportuni- ty. How these southerners, resent- ing the freedom and authority ex- ercised by the Negro officers, took advantage of the party in power and conspired with an investigator of the Veteran’s Bureau who care- fully built up a case against these helpless Negroes, is an interesting story of chieanory. What the race stands to lose if it loses control of Tuskegee Veterans Hospital may be summarized as follows: The hospital has more than 500 employes. 24 of these being physi- cians officers and many being high ly trained and skilled people. The commander received $6,000 per year salary with a home free. 'Hie budget for salaries per year was $450,000 and for maintenance $875,000.

Ickes. “Your reeerd of service at the hospital for achievement and de- votion to duty is unusual and com- mendable, “Secretary Ickes said In a letter to Dr. Warfield. “Your re- tirement will be a distinct loss to the Department and I regret that we must lose you.

Mr. Underwood pointed out that Seection 2, of the Republican Platform, under the subhead, The Bill of Rights, calls for equal op- portunity *for colored citizens. This section reads as follows: “We favor equal opportunity for our colored citizens. We pledge our projection of their economic status and personal safety. We will do our best to further their employ- ment in the gainfully occupied life of America, particularly in private industry, agricultural life, emer- gency agencies and the civil ser- vice. “We condemn the present New Deal policy which would regiment, and eventually eliminate, the color- ed citizens from the country’s pro- ductive life, and make him solely a ward of the federal government.” Not Sectional Mr. Underwood's statement de- clared further: “As Governor Lan- don stated, the Republican Party is not sectional. It treats all min- ority groups alike, in all sections of the country. It has never con- spired to keep Negroes from exer- cising the right of franchise nor passtrick laws, so as to make his vote ineffective.

Dorn in Hyattsville, Price Geor- ges county, Maryland, on Novem- ber 17, 1886, he began working on a farm when he was a boy. With $20.26 in his pocket he went to Ualtimore to attend Morgan col- lege. In the old Camden station he gave a boy 26 cents to show him the way t*> the college. The college took his S2O and gave him a job ♦ ending the furnace. With that and other jobs he worked his way through five years of schooling there. In the summer he worked as a waiter at White Sulphur Springs and elsewhere. He was graduated from Morgan college in 1801, and entered the Medical School of Howard university, from which he wub graduated in 1894. When Dr. Warfield began his internship at Freedmen’s hospital in 1804 the institution comprised a half dozen, disconnected old frame buildings. There were four in- ternes. There were no graduate nurses nor nursing school. The wards were heated by stoves plac- ed at one end. In 1896 he was made a second assistant surgeon, and the follow- ing year he was made first assis- tant surgeon. He was named sur- geon In chief in 1991. Today the hospital Is recognized as a Class A institution by the American Medi- cal Association and the American College of Surgeons. There are 24 internes. It has 322 beds.
