Dr Carlton Goodlett, president
of the National Newspaper
Publishers Ass'n-the Black
Press of America-brought the
conference to a sobering halt
with a ringing denudation of
Allende s friends and foes alike.
"Where were you who now
weep for him?," Goodlett asked
the 200-plus delegate assembled
in the Freelanderhaus
auditorium Goodlett, a medical
doctor as well as a publisher,
was a friend of Allende, who
was also a medical doctor.
Goodlett charged that Allende
was "forsaken by both his
enemies and his foes " He spoke
of the “economic isolation of
Chile" by the international
Writing in the December
issue of Urban Health, two
physicians have urged
“confidentiality in sickle cell
screening” and “an end to
dissemination of information
on sickle cell anemia that is
innacurate, unduly alarming or
misleading.”
Dr. Rudolph E. Jackson,
director of the National Heart
and Lung Institute’s National
Sickle Cell Program, and Dr.
Charles F. Whitten president of
the National Association for
Sickle Cell Disease, are among
seven prominent physicians
who have come together in
articles appearing in the
current issue of Urban Health
to discuss sickle cell anemia.
In the introductory
article, Dr. Jackson points out
that “discriminatory tactics
have made confidentiality a
prerequisite for all testing
programs,’’ and that all
participating in sickle cell
screening programs should be
on a voluntary basis.
In another article, Dr.
Whitten points out that efforts
to provide mass information
onsickle cell anemia “have not
been as valuable as possible as
possible because some of the
information has been
innaccurate, unduly alarming
and misleading.’’ Both
physicians call for “an
accurate, sound understanding
of sickle cell anemia and sickle
cell trait by the public.”

Since the coup, reports of
mass killings have come out of
the South American country.
These reports were made by
released prisoners interviewed
by reporters
The ex-prisoners said that they
slept on blankets on a concrete
floor but were not mistreated.
Their meals consisted of bean
soup, bread, water and fruit.
There was meat twice during
their eight day stay, they said.
Goodlett. going into the cause
of the late President's downfall,
spoke of the “economic
isolation" of Chile.
"Resolutions and marches will
not alone wipe away the
enemies of the people," he
declared
Goodlett said that the U.S.
Government “discouraged,
private financial powers from
supplying short term credits,
ordered a limit to development
loans from the World Bank and
Inter American Development
Bank" and that as a result of
such actions "the economy of
Chile was destined to wither.”
The firey San Francisco
physician then asked "How
much real economic assistance
did the People’s Republic (of
China, give Chile-only token."
He said that Allende’s dif
ficulties stemmed much from
his coalition that was more
committed to doctrine than to
survival and movement

not only to ourselves in terms
of perserving a piece of our
heritage, but we have an
obligation to the future Black
youth who will seek the
services and educational tools
which Morgan has so
generously provided in the
past. For we have long agreed
that the tool of education is an
essential element in breaking
the cycle of poverty that
engulfs one third of our
people. In recent years, well
educated Black men have
advanced their incomes much
more quickly than Blacks a
generation removed.”
