Rocky Lauded For Hospital
Bill Stand By Ministers
Governor Nelson A. Rockefel
ler was commended for his stand
on the current hospital bill in
Albany. George Meany was ex
coriated with the rest of the op
position, and legislators urged,
by the Interdenominational Min
isters Alliance of Brooklyn and
Long Island, to pass the bill.
The Ministers meeting in
Brooklyn last week praised Gov.
Rockefeller for his recommenda
tion of legislation which would
provide collective bargaining and
union recognition “for the ex
ploited hospital employees.” They
passed a resolution setting forth
strong views on the issue.
Supporters
Hospitals and their supporters
who oppose the bill, were "de
ceptive” in their claim that its
passage "would curtail their
charitable work", the ministers
stated. Such opposition to a bill
that would improve wages and
other working conditions was “en
tirely morally indefensible”, they
asserted.
"There can’t be genuine or,
authentic charity based on ex-:
ploitation”. the ministers stated,
adding that the opposition "fur
ther cloaked its real reason by
claiming free services which
they don’t give.”
So-called “free services”, the
ministers said, were in fact paid
for, under one or other of their
three sources of revenue: rates
from patients, insurance or health
plans; income from the united
hospital chest; payment from the
City government for persons un
able to pay.
The ministers wondered how
the opposition could reconcile
the fact that a hospital director
could receive as high as $25,000
Reports On
African Students
The Friends of Liberian
Youth, Inc. held its annual meet
ing last week at which time Dr.
Arenia Mallory, founder and
president, gave a detailed report
of the ten African students spon
sored by the organization.
The students are attending
various schools in Mississippi in
preparation to return home for
teaching positions in the rural
districts of Monrovia, and other,
areas.
In addition to Dr. Mallory,
those present were Miss Wil-
hemina Adams; Mesdames Edith
Banks, Elayne Corley, Florence
Dodson, Sari Patton, Ollie Por
ter, Ruth Price and Atty. James
J. Johnson, legal adviser to the
group.
Election of officers was held,
followed by a dinner served at
a year salary plus other benefits tors. And they urged the public
while a worker gets $35 a week; |to give strong support to Gov-
ernor Rockefeller’s recommenda
and the hospital would justify
tion of the bill.
the former as sound business but
pleads charity to excuse the lat
ter.
"George Meany and the so-
called labor leaders who oppose
the improvement”, the minister
ial resolution- asserted, "s h ow
bow limited their interest in la
bor can be when the people suf
fering are Negroes and Puerto
Ricans.”
Enlightened------
“The only honest stand that
enlightened men can take” was
to pass the law, the ministers
said in an appeal to the legisla-
Gov. Rockefeller had promised
Local 1199, Drug and Hospital
Employees Union, as part of the
settlement of the six-week Beth
El Hospital strike last year, that
he would have a law passed
granting the workers union rec
ognition.
The ministers' resolution urg
ing support of this position was
introduced by Rev. Joseph H.
May, chairman of the Social Ac
tion Committee of the Alliance.
Rev. V. Simpson Turner pre
sided at the meeting.

Cops Guard NAACP Head
quarters From Arsonist
Uniformed police of the 110th
Precinct, Elmhurst, continued
this week to maintain a nightly
guard at the headquarters of the
Corona-East Elmhurst Branch
of the NAACP after two recent
attempts were made to set fire
to the building.
Detectives of the 110th squad
under Lieut. Daniel P. Keneally,
and investigators of the Queens
Fire Marshal’s office carried on
a joint probe but have not un
covered the arsonist’s identity.
Pastor
The Rev Robert D. Sherard,
pastor of the Corona Congrega
tional Church and president of
the NAACP branch, expressed
puzzlement to the Amsterdam
News as to motive of the arson
ists.
"Our branch hasn’t been in
volved in anything really contro
versial since last fall,” he said,
"when we were campaigning to
rectify the racial imbalance at
two schools here, P.S. 92 and
P.S. 127. There was no violence
nor any threat of violence at
that time. Our most recent un
dertaking was the sending of let
ters to the customer relations
people of the A & P companies
urging them to upgrade their
Negro employees.”
The arson attempts occurred
on successive nights, March 5
and 6, and each time were dis
covered and snuffed out before
extensive damage could be done
to the office which occupies the
ground floor of a three-story
frame structure above which are
family dwellings.
Gasoline Jug
On each attempt. Rev. Sher
ard said, the arsonist ignited^
jug of gasoline and placed it
UMinrt the locked door of the
NAACP office. John Gaynus. the
branch's corresponding secre
tary on an errand to the building,
discovered the first blaze and
alerted the building occupants
while a quick-thinking neighbor
doused the flames with sand and
a blanket.
The second effort caused more
damage than the first because
it was discovered later, Rev
Sherard said. In both cases dam
age was confined to the door
and considered slight.
CHECKING THE DAMAGE -
While Henry Rodger of E. Elm
hurst, takes notes, John E.
Gaynus points to the location at
which be discovered the first of
the two fires of suspicious na
ture that damaged the Corona-
E. Elmhurt Branch of the NAA
CP. Mr. Gaynus is the corres
ponding eecretary. (Cooper
