At such times, they need a special diet, with a little food several times a day, and not the hospital's usual three, widely spaced meals, said Dr. Becker.

Negroes have fled from heavily East Indian villages, and streams of East Indians from Negro-dominated areas have poured into refugee camps near the Georgetown capital. The prospect is for further polarization and violence...
