Hospital in Washington, D. C.,
j and is closely integrated with1

. School. The clinic is the flr^t oft
i it- kind to be established in a

General George C. Kenny.,
f president of the Arthritis and
i Rheumatism Foundation, in mak-i
- ing the announcement of the
clinic this week, hailed it is an
outstanding rxample of the work
being done in providing clinical (
. services for arthritis victims in
, connection with many of the na-i
tion's 78 medical schools and
,, their affiliated hospitals.
.! "It is particularly significant,"
he said, "that this is the first
Arthritis clinic .connected with a
Q Negro medical School. At a time
r when we are emphasizing th
development of training prof
gram- for physicians to . avoid
^ the crippling effects'of arthriti?
and to prevent a major drain on
trhc nation's manpower, this is
e an encouragaing step in the right
e direction."
The physician in charge of the

al Ar'hritis Clinic is Dr. James

are qualified encourages manv

Few Negroes .are trained- us

"Al>out 'JO of America's a.000 psyI*
