Race codes for reporting the mother’s and father’s race on the standard Certificate of Live Birth in 1961 were the same codes and were as follows:
If negro is a seven then the above is wrong?

This 1959 Hawaii BC shows Dr. West signature but no MD after his name.

The Nordykes’ BC show the doctor’s signature without the MD.

On the Alan Booth BC - the check boxes labeled MD, D.O., Midwife and Other are missing. So maybe that’s why the doctor added MD.
Thanks for the new 1961 Hawaiian BC (well new to me). It has some interesting stuff. Like the hospital is Kuakini. And the registrar is Verna Lee. But the dates are not typical. Mother signed it on the 10th (a Saturday), doctor signed it on the 13th (a Tuesday) and Lee signed it on the 19th (a Monday). But this would seem to violate the DOH requirements that BCs be submitted within 7 days.
Under the race of the father the word colored is struck out (is this the one Zullo mentioned?) The code for Negro is 9. And the code for the race Hawaiian is 2.
To me it looks like the code on fathers race (negro) was a 7.
