By the Associated Nerro Tress
WASHINGTON — Tlie national

wert\n« but Ust *t*k, voted to seek
removal from the Tlospital Construc-
tion act, a provision permitting the
use of federal funds for construction
of separate but equal hospital facilities
for Negroes.
The conference adopted a resolution
declaring that the separate but equal
provision is out of line with the Su-
preme court's school segregation de-
ision, and calling for an amend-
ment by congress to remove the
pro\ ision.
This sas just one of the nearly a
dozen a< tions taken on the closing
day of the two-day conference held at
Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church.
This conference, which was the
first of its kind, was set up by the
I) C. Medieo-Chirurgc-al society

Coker was not clear.
Wells' story was considerably dif-
ferent. He testified that the WAC.
bruised about the face and head, asked
him to carry her to Brooke General
htmpltal, sa>tng that she would rather
trust herself with a Negro than with
a white man.
When they arrived at Brooke, Mrs
Coker changed her mind and a«kcd
Wells to carry her to Kelly.
Then she told him that *he was too
drunk to go fo Kelly. \\ hen, he said,
he suggested that she get a cab. she
started talking loudly, and told him
that Negroes in the South were not
like those in California.
Then they drove back to Fort Sam
Houston, through the |>osf. and to the
Salado road. According to Wells, Mrs.
Coker a*ked him to stop the car. got
out, and a few minutes later, asked
him to get out of the automobile. She,
he *aid, pro| osed an intimate rela-
tionship. requesting that he QN a
contraceptive.
Following thi* relationship. Wells
said that the WAC saw a car ap-
proaching, and suddenly started run-
ning and screaming. Frightened, he
said that he drove away.
A Kelly field infest igator found
articles belonging to the WAC, and
the contraceptive, at the scene of
the incident.
Defense attorney Henley scored
heavily on this point, declaring that
a rapist would hardlt use n contra<*ep-
ti\e. Henley also wored the state for
not contacting the woman's compan-
ion's In the accident car.
The ItVvear sentence marked the
first time, so far as could he ascer-
tained, that a Negro, in Texas, con-
victed of rape of a vs hite woman, had
received a sentence of anything less
than death or life in prison.
Wells was born May 11*21, In I*
Grange, Texas. He moved to San An-
tonio in 11)40 and enlisted in the
I'nited States army. He served three
years overseas in World War II. and
fought in the Asiatic Pacific thea-
tre from April, 1! 4L.\ to May, 1! 44.
He was wounded in the left leg by
shrapnel, and was honorably discharg-
ed. at O'Reilly General hospital,
Springfield. Mo., on June 21. 1!*44.
He was cited for outstanding per
forma nee of duty during the period
from July 2-'l. 1!>42. to January 2.'t,
1!>4.'{. in the fighting in New Guinea.
Funeral services were held Monday
morning, the Rev. I>r. J. N. Itrrd
