In conclusion the brief stated:
'Dr. Scandifio, in rendering medical
service to the members Of the Group
Health Association, Inc, is in no
sense subject to censure. His activ-
tiles are, indeed. beyond reproach.
DR.. Scandifio has in no manner vio-
lated the principles Of ethics Of the
medical profession. The association,
the members of whom he serves, is in
no aspect illegally engaged in the prac-
tice Of medicine, nor is that group In
any phase Of its activity illegally

character witnesses for Lands in the
closing hours of the trial. In his
final statement, Mr.. Kelly pointed out
that defendant is presumed to be
innocent until he is proven guilty
beyond reasonable doubt, and that
the establishment of good character
is enough to raise a reasonable doubt.
Mr.. Hef1in described the crime as
brutal, cold-blooded murder In
closing the Governments case, he
said:
The evidence shows beyond a rea-
sonable doubt that this defendant,
because he was infatuated with an
other girl, because he wanted to start
housekeeping with her, and because
he was through with his wife, put a
sandbag in his car, slipped away from
his duty at the fire station, drove to
his wifes home, called her out and
took her to lonely spot, where he
deliberately and purposely, one blow
after another, beat her so badly
that she died"
Mr.. Hef1in said Lands drove away
in the hope his wife was dead. The
prosecutor asked the jury if they
had noticed anything in Lands cool
demeanor to indicate that he would
become panic-stricken and flee because
his wife had met with an accident
He said the defendants previous
training as a fireman, National
Guardsman and sailor in the Navy
| precluded this possibility.

LAWYERS DER|DE
ANTITRUST BILLS
Mere Patchwork Tinkerinq,'
Bar Association Unit
Says in Report.
Py the Associated Press.

~ tEe Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 21--Anti-trust
bills in Congress at present were de-
scribed today by an American Bar
Association committee as mere patch
work tinkering" with the problem.
The Committee on Commerce Of
the bar body suggested in its report
to be presented at the annual meeting
July 1923 in Cleveland that "a sound
consistent antitrust policy based on
comprehensive study and analysis Of
all phases of the complex problem
should precede any further legisla-
ton"
The committee urged an independent
non-partisan commission rather than
an existing Government department
for conducting proposed study of
antitrust laws and announced its
opposition to having the study made
by the Federal Trade Commission. the
Department of Justice, the Securities
and Exchange Commission and other
agencies of the Government
1T would seem that only such 4
commission divorced from the ex-
ecutive branch of the Government and
empowered to study and report upon
all phases of the problem can furnish
an impartial and comprehensive sur
vey of the interrelated problems, the
report added.
On the committee were Harold J..
Gallagher, New York, chairman: John
Dickinson, Philadelphia; Charles R.
Fowler, Minneapolis; Murray NJ Shoe
maker, Cincinnati, and Jesse R.
Smith, Washington.

Secretary Morgenthau is a native

college A neighbor and friend of the
President, he was drafted into New

Letter ProvOkes Announcement.
Mr.. Eccles served as Assistant Sec
retary OF the Treasury under Secretary
Morgenthau before his appointment to
the Reserve Board. Last fall he urged
a vast Government spending program
TO fight the recession, but Secretary
Morgenthau stoutly opposed it. The
Secretary later expressed accord with
the Presidents decision to embark on
such program.
The Morgenthau announcement of
yesterday was provoked, it was be-
lieved, by Mr.. Eccles' letter last week
to Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, in which he said "one rea-
son why bank credit is not flowing
adequately into productive business
channels is because the banks are
under too severe restrictions
The Eccles- -Morgenthau disagree
ments usually have been undercover,
but the Secretary scarcely cloaked his
feeling yesterday when, in response to
question about another Reserve
Board idea, he said:
Nothing would surprise me-"
Dollar Cut Denied.
At his press conference, the Treas
ury head also sought to nail rumors of
impending dollar devaluation. Flatly
denying the reports, he indicated they
originated with spectators who have
bought gold in hope of profit.
Il don't know how long people with
horse sense will listen to these spec
ulators," the Secretary added.
Meanwhile, in New York, Joseph P.
Kennedy, American Ambassador to
England, said that if the United
States devalued. other countries also
would change the gold values of their
currencies. So, he asked, what good
would devaluation do us?"
THE day of devices is gone" the
ambassador added
Most of the rumors, which origin
ated in Europe, said the relationship
between the dollar and gold would be
changed so the price of gold would
be increased automatically from the
present level of $35 per ounce to
$41.34 per ounce.

Secretary of State Hull has begun
developing program to humanize
warfare, with the particular objec-
tive of stopping aerial bombings OF
civilians.
Persons close to the State Depart
ment disclosed today that Secretary
Hull is devoting much of his time to
this subject brought to his attention
by airplane attacks on Spanish and
Chinese cities.
Details are not yet ready. nor has
the Secretary entered into diplomatic
discussions with other nations.
State Department officials, however,
viewed with sympathy the suggestions
advanced yesterday in London by
Norman H. Davis. chairman Of the
American Red Cross.
Neutralize Hospital Zones.
Mr. Davis proposed neutralized hos
pital zones, an international conven-
tion prohibiting or restricting bomb
ing of open" towns and cities, and
zones of immunity for women and
children within cities under attack.
Undersecretary of State Welles en-
phasized that Mr.. Davis spoke in his
Red Cross capacity rather than as
a representative of this Government
Nevertheless, Mr.. Davis, who has been
President Roosevelt's Ambassador at
large and disarmament expert, is in
close touch with the State Depart
ment
Secretary Hull probably will moi
wait until the next session of Congress.
to proceed with his program. He car
sound out other nations without wait
ing for congressional approval.
Question Of Worth.
Chairman Pittman Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee declared
the storm of protests in this country
against bombings of cities in the Fal
East and Spain raised a question to the
military worth of such attacks.
There has been a difference O,
opinion among military strategists
since the World War on the bombing
Of civilian populations" he said.
Some claim the attacks break dowr
the morale of the people by fear ane
intimidation. I don't agree with that
think it actually hardens the people
and makes 1t more difficult eventual,
to obtain peace
Its a complete return to barbar.
ism. I think nations might as wel
condone the poisoning of wells and al
water supplies"
Plan to Study Subject.
Senator Pittman also disclosed he
and five or six others on the For.
elgn Relations Committee intended tc
study the entire subject during the
Summer, although the committee it.
self would take no official action.
He predicted the Red Cross pro-
posals would lead to diplomatic action
that might result in recommenda-
ton to the Senate next year.
Senator Pittman obtained Senate
approval of the final day of the 1885
session OF ne-sentence resolution
condemning "inhuman bombing 0,
civilian populations
HIS suggestion for study Of the
entire subject by the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee was dropped because
OF opposition from Senators who con.
tended it might be step toward war
or foreign entanglements.
