Bill Aid is Sought
SEEK BILL AID AT FRANKFORT RESOLUTIONS ASK TRAINING OF DOCTORS AND NURSES IN HOSPITALS Although the legislative docket has been set, the Rules Committee of the 1943 Kentucky General Assembly agreed this week to hear several Negro citizens who petitioned its aid in support of House Bill 447. The unofficial lobby to get the bill out of committee where it has languished since its introduction March 4, was begun by the Louisville branch N.A.A.C.P. House Bill 447 is a resolution which seeks legislative consent to allow the training of Negro doctors and nurses in any hospital or other institution offering accredited course of instruction in nursing, medicine, surgery or other related courses of graduate grade. Any institution may by a majority vote of the governing body accept Negroes as students the resolution states. This action has been interpreted to mean that the Day Law - permitting the segregation of races in this state - would be nullified in the field of medicine. Introduced by Representative Sidney Baer, the resolution points out that there is no accredited public or private agency in Kentucky where Negro women may obtain training in the profession of nursing nor are facilities for post graduate training available to Negro doctors. A committee of citizens from Louisville and points in Kentucky were in Frankfort Wednesday in interest of the bill. After hearing their appeal members of the sub-committee said they would study the measure and report its findings to the full Rules Committee.

CARROLL RESIGNS AS DRIVE LEADER Alfred M. Caroll, local attorney, and past president of the Louisville Branch N.A.A.C.P., announced this week his resignation as chairman of the membership campaign for 1948, after being charged with malfeance in office by a member of the Executive Committee at the March 3 meeting. S. O. Johnson, veteran member of the committee questioned the wisdom of allowing the young attorney to serve in the face of rumors that he had practically depleted the treasury of the organization. The stormy session of the Executive Committee of the Louisville branch, began after the nominating committee submitted the name of Mr. Carroll to head the annual drive, originally scheduled to begin March 10. Johnson told the group that he had heard rumors that Carroll, when president had withdrawn the organization's money wholesale. In defense of himself, the young attorney admitted that perhaps he had spent more money than "some members" of the branch thought he should have, "but", he added, "the records have been checked by the auditors and they know I have given a strict accounting of funds expended." He said he did not relish the idea of anyone questioning his honesty and integrity. Said Caroll: "There are two instances where I have spent by own funds without any effort to obtain reimbursement from the organization. It is reported that the Executive Committee gave Carroll a vote of confidence.
