Wake Forest Reynolds fund withdraws from control program
The Reynolds Foundation stops funding the venereal disease control effort, arguing funds are better placed as an educational endowment. The state reports slow progress, with 1940 to 1946 data showing modest declines in primary and secondary syphilis and a large, ongoing field effort at Charlotte and Durham hospitals treating about 800 patients monthly.
