Already indignant over the resigna- tion of Eden. Labor men demanded that a member of the house of com mons be appointed so that he could face commons for questioning.

"The intersection at Military

there is no traffic light. and no

be termed "high speed traffic"

DR.. WOOD WARD.
QUEST TONED IN
MEDICAL PROBE
Grand Jury Hears Foe
OF Group Health

DR.. william Woodward, former
District health officer and arch
foe Of the Group Health Associa-
ton, appeared before the special
Grand Jury today in the Depart
ment Of Justice investigation Of
alleged monopolistic activities Of
the American Medical Association
and the District Medical Society.
DR.. Woodward, who is also an
attorney, is now director of the
bureau of legal medicine and leg
islation of the American Medical
Association. 1
SCATHING ATTACK
IN that capacity he recently
wrote a scathing attack on the
group health movement, which
was published in the official
organ of the ANA.
Whether DR.. woodward was
questioned concerning this attack
could not be ascertained, and the
special assistants to the Attorney
General who are in charge of the
probe refused to disclose the ma
ture Of his testimony. He went
into the Grand Jury room, how
ever, with a large portfolio, and
it is considered probable that he
may identify certain records of
the medical association which the
Grand Jury may have demanded.
QUIZ McCAULEY
First witness today was the Rev.
David A. McCauley, S. j., dean
of the Georgetown Medical School.
Father McCauley was in the
Grand Jury room less than 10
minutes.

BY JOSEPH T. MOONEY

BY JOSEPH T. MOONEY
Did somebody say name tiger?
Less than an hour after the
Patterson Newspapers asked the
school children of washington to
select names for those two new
Bengal tiger cubs at the zoo, the
vanguard Of contestants began
trekking into DR.. william M.
Mann's menagerie-pencilS poised
and a name on every pair Of
lips.
"Jack!"
"Peggy!"
"Bob and Bobby!"
"Hey-name him Killer and
The Other One!"
James and Betty would be
good names, mister. Those
would be swell names"
At closing time. Headkeeper
william Blackburn went home
with his ears ringing and a hun
dred shrilled suggestions.
PANIC Is ON
The contest-or as the photog-
rapher observed to the reporter,
the panic--iS on!
BY actual observation, the first
contestant in the tiger naming
contest is 6-year-old Roger Block,
who lives at 2119 Leroy Pl. N. W.,
and is a first grade pupil in the
Oyster School.
''Well." said Roger. "1f they're
q boy and a girl tiger, I'd call
them James and Betty Want
to see me draw a picture of
them?"
And precariouSly balanced on
the railing in front of the two
BengalS, artist Block went to work
without batting an eye. He used
his left hand and the reporters
notepaper. Elsewhere you'll see

FDR'S FRIEND DS
BLAME LOBBIES
FOR REVERSAL

WASHINGTON, April 9. (UP)-
Friends of President Roosevelt said
today the administration regarded
the defeat of the government re-
organization bill as a victory for
lobbyists and propagandists.
1t was claimed that it was lobby
lists and propagandistS who tied the
term dictatorship" to the bill and
thereby helped to kill it despite the
presidents personal diSavowal OF
dictatorship ambitions.
There was some feeling in high
administration sources that a lobby
inside the government as well as
outside forces helped defeat the
measure.
Close administration friends sale
that there was little doubt that
some people within the government
acted against the measure to save
their own jobs.
The adverse vote was not inter
preted by administration supporters
as a defeat for President Roosevelt
or a loss of prestige, inasmuch a
they explained presidents for II
years have been attempting to OBJ
tain such a measure but WithOu
success.

The Associated Farmers of Cali

The defeat had been so little an
ticipated that administration lead
ers had pledged the integrity OF
President RooseVelt's mandate on
the issue. BY its own request, the
house was voting on whether 1t
had confidence in the leadership
of the White House when 1t voted,
204 to 1876. to recommit the bitterly
contested bill to committee where
it is effectively dead.
President Roosevelt, in a letter
to House Majority Leader Sam
Rayburn, said today there should
be no personal recrimination as
a result of defeat of the govern
ment reorganization bill.
But it seemed certain that the
issues growing out of the long fight
over reorganization would domi-
nate this years primaries and gen.
eral election campaigns by which
the political complexion of the
lower house may be changed.
1t was the most far reaching
defeat the house ever has given
President Roosevelt.
1t was accomplished by a Demo
cratic Republican coalition. AlthC
the SO house Republicans voted tt
man against the bill, they were
outnumbered by its Democratic op.
