OCTOBER 5. 1960 African Delegates To UN Complain Of Discrimination United Nations, N.Y.-flJPl) Some African delegates have complained to the U.S. dele gation of being discriminated against in New York, accord ing to a Negro member of the delegation. "If they're not wearing anything that identifies them as Africans, then they are treated like negroes," said Dr. Zelma George, a Cleve land sociologist, alternate member of the U.S. delega tion. Incidents Told She said in an interview some of the delegates have told her of "Incidents with hotel doormen, problems of being served, restaurants say ing all the tables are reserved, you know, the same old thing." Some African delegates, she went on, have approached her with their problems not real izing she is a negro because her skin is light. "And when I tell them I am negro, they say seeing a negro on the U.S. Delegation is the most encouraging sight they ve seen," said Mrs. George, a handsome, stout woman. "I think all the American people can be made a little more alert as to what they as individuals can do about all this. It relates to all delegates who come here, not just Africans." Saturday morning in the lounge for delegates, Mrs. George wearing a tri-colored velvet Ijat and brown dress and jacket, spoke t many African delegates about their reaction to Premier Nikita Khrushchev's stormy speech "I don't think we have to worry -about the Africans,' she smiled. "Their attitude seems to be, 'We don't pay any attention to them. We know he's just blustering. We know he doesn't tell the whole truth about negroes in Amer ica. " "All of them seem to be lieve the goals and policy of the United States - although they see there are many in dividuals who do not practice them." Mrs. George, a graduate of New York university, has served her country before. On request for the State Depart ment, she recently made a six-month lecture tour of Eu rope and Africa. The sociologist was the eld est of six children and after her father died, she said, she worked to put her sisters and brothers through college. Re cently she married Clay- bourne George, a Cleveland attorney and member of the Civil Service commission. "I had to wait to find some one who liked a plump wo man," she said with a hearty laugh.

The speaker was one of a special group of practitioners of which there are relatively few left today, the so-called "family doctor,", and he was speaking of an bid horse he called "hay-burner." Now Retired Today the doctor is retired after practicing medicine for over 60 years, when ho assist ed thousands of tiny humans into this world. "Most of them," the doctor now recalls, "should have showed a deep gratitude to old Maude who pulled the buggy or the sleigh to the dis tant, isolated arm." Vividly the old doctor re members those bygone days, and his early years of prac tice. Now, in retrospect, he goes back over the years, over the miles, over the long nights, the cold, the snow and mud, to his visits to Iso lated homes deep In the for est, or high in the hills where human being was sick and needful of his understanding hands. He remembers how patient ly Maude stood outside the dark houses in the dead of winter while tho doctor, by the aid of a smoky kerosene lamp held in the shaking hands of a prospective fath er, assisted into this world a tiny human being. There were many times, the doctor remembers, when the snow heaped high on the back of the waiting horse; when the winter wind chilled ani mal and man to the very mar row of their bones. Ready for Home At such limes, the doctor recalls, he would brush the snow from the thin blanket, pat the old horse on its quiv ering nose and ascend the sleigh. Pulling tho heavy buf falo robe about his knees, the doctor tied the reins around the buggywhlp and said, "All right Maude, go home now." While the doctor rested or slept soundly In the old sleigh, the faithful horse plod ded homeward, unguided and unsupervised, but knowing exactly where to go. Yes, the doctor agrees, the motor car now Is faster, more patients can be visited In much less time, but the motor car has no "horse-sense;" It cannot go home without a guiding hand. The old horse knew the way, no matter how long the road. The doctor could sleep, knowing full well the faithful animal would take him safely home. Why shouldn't the doctor remember Maude?
