...already "integrated" its 17,500 Negroes, but it was a strange sort of integration: 10,500 of them were steward's mates in mess halls, and only five were officers. In the Marine Corps there are about 1,500 Negroes, none of them officers. The Army has given its 71,189 Negroes better assignments, more chances for promotion (there are 1,267 Negro Army officers), but all along the line Negroes and whites have been generally segregated...

The two doctors were ready to tell the world about two new treatments for typhoid carriers...
Last week, to a specially called staff meeting at Long Island's Creedmoor State Hospital, they gave a cautiously optimistic report on their work. They had given injections of histamine to 38 disturbed patients. Ten (about 26%) improved; five of the ten improved enough to leave the hospital. The results were about the same as with a control group who had been given the more dangerous electric shock treatment. The doctors also found that patients who were first given histamine reacted better when given electric shock. In another series of treatments on 48 office patients with histamine alone, eleven...
