physicians Recognize" Economics
For centuries, the physician was
considered by the populace as an
ethereal being, beyond the economic
laws which rule the rest of society,
This aura of superiority surrounding
them was carefully nurtured by the
members Of the profession them
selves. For years, it was impossible
to crash the gates of the medical
societies with an article on the
economic problems of the medical
rank and file; the LEADERS" had
good reasons to suppress all such
"unSeemly" discussion.
But the economic laws, so clearly
promulgated by Marx and Engels,
are relentless, Willy-nilly, papers on
economic subjects began to find their
way into the August aSsemblages
dedicated to pure co science. And
here we have the Bronx Comfy Med
ical Society, at its January meeting,
proposing an amendment to the By
Laws: THE Bronx County Medical
Society shall establish an Economic
Council for the control of the econo-

Use of Dead Mems Blood
NJ. D., New York-Dead mems blood
is being used to quite an extent in
the Soviet Union, whenever a live
donor" is not available. 1t began
with the experiment of Professor
Chaumow who showed, five years
ago, that the blood of dead dog
could be transfused to another, with
in a certain limit of time.
Professor Judine, who is the head
of a Moscow hospital has been using
it extensively in cases of would-be-
suicides, needing blood transfusions.
The blood can be kept in salt solu-
ton in frigidaire for month; but
Professor Judine rarely uses blood
that is older than twelve days. 1t is
understood, of course, that all blood
is tested before it is stored away;
the main test being the Wasserman
test for syphilis. 1t is also typed"
and only blood from those who have
met with violent death is used.
Blood from those who have any kind
of acute or chronic disease is dis
carded.

DEATH OF DILLINGER
SHOWS LAW DEFECT,
SAY BRITISH PAPERS

By United Press
LONDON, July 24.-British COM
mentators today saw in the man
ner of John Dillinger's death a
serious defect in the American
criminal judicial system-that it
was necessary to ambush him in
a public street and shoot him
without trial.
1t was agreed that his death
was a good thing, and newspapers
in stories which crowded other
news from first pages called him
a monster and a wild animal.
Under the surface of comments
was the feeling that for the ira
ditional majesty of the law there
was substituted the ION the spot"
method of removing a dangerous
man.
The News Chronicle, in an ed
itorial captioned Americas Mon
Ster," criticised the American
system of imposing long sentences
for first offenSes.

for his betrayal of Germanic Aus

The moment any Nazi is sem
fenced to death We shall capture and

These will be killed the moment

Chancellor Dollfuss is a devout
Roman Catholic. His ideas of gov

his religious views.
After months of unsuccessful eff
forts to end Nazi dynamitings, the
chancellor on July 10 prescribed the
death penalty for any Nazi convicted
of terroristic acts.
None knows the strength of the
Nazi movement in Austria. Though
thousands of Nazis have fled to

given the protection of the German

he studied law and later emigrated from his
native State and settled in Lexington KY,
where he commenced the practice of his pro-
fession before he had reached his majority.
He was soon fascinated with politics and
served a member of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture in 1903. Later he was elected to the
Unitd States Senate to I'LL the vacancy caused
by the resignation Of John Adair, and served
from November 10, 1906 to March 3, 1907,
which service was illegal since 1t was in oppo-
sition to the 30-year age requirement of the
Constitution, but to which no objection seems
to have been offered. Again, he was sent to
the Senate upon the resignation Of Senator
Buckner Thruston, and he filled out his term,
when he was returned to the Twelfth Con-
gress as member of the House Of Repre-
sentatives and wss elected Speaker November
4, 1911. He was reelected May "a, 1913. but
resigned from Congress January 10. 1914 being
succeeded as Speaker by Langdon Cheves of
South Carolina.
The following Congress Mr. Clay again be-
came Speaker. and he was reelected to this
office In 1917 and 1919. However, his habit
OF resigning returned, and he left the 0ffice

Speaker. Philip p. Barbour of Virginia, who
filled the Office next, served from 1921 to 1923,
when Mr.. Clay again became Speaker.
But this did not end Mr.. Ciay's political
career, for after serving out this term, he
became Secretary of State in the cabinet of
John Quincy Adams, after which he returned
to the Senate and continued there, with slight
interruption, until his death, June 20, 1852
He was in class with William Jennings
Bryan in running for the presidency, and in
1924 received 81 electoral votes; 40 against
Jackson in 1882, and los in 1874, when he
was defeated by James K. Polk. There were
several causes assigned for Mr.. Clay's defeat
but the principal one seems to have been the
66,304 votes cast for the Liberty party, headed
by James c. Birney small part of which, if
cast for Clay, in New York, would probably
have made him President
Mr.. Clay was not perfect, nor was he beyond
reproach, and though an acknowledged
Christian gentleman, yet, in 1926, he allowed
himself to be drawn into duel with John
Randolph Of Roanoke, which, fortunately,
ended without bloodshed. The latter had
scathingly denounced Clay, who was then re-
siding in the Decatur home at the southwest
corner OF H street and Jackson place and
from where the commodore had only four
years before been carried to the Kalorama
tomb, following his encounter with Commodore
