CHA WELCOMES
ACTION AGAINST.
MEDIC SOCIETY

Contrary to reports that the
Group Health Association desires
to paddle its own canoe" the
group is greatly interested in the
request of the Washington League
for Cooperative Medical Service
that the United States Attorney
take legal action against the Dis
trict Medical Society.
In a letter to United States At
torney David A. Pine, the league
complained yesterday that the Dis
trict Medical Society is extending
its activities beyond the scope of
its corporate powers and should
be restrained.
COMPLAINT STUDIED
Mr.. Pine, preparing to leave for
his annual vacation, turned the
letter over to his assistant, Harry
w. Underwood, for study and
necessary action.
Meanwhile, William C. Kirk.
patrick, president of the Group
Health unit, said today:
I'VE had nothing to do with
the leagues suit, but we do not
intend to take any slaps at the
league. Naturally such action
as has been taken is in our in
terest as well as the leagues"
WRITER CHA MEMBER
Officials Of the CHA pointed
out that A. C.. Edwards, who
signed the Pine letter and who is
an employe of the Department of
Agriculture, is not only secretary
treasurer of the league but is a
of the CHA. Most of the
so other league members are also
CHA members, it was said.
The Pine letter complained that
the medical society, incorporated
principally for the purpose of
study and research, is violating
the provisions of its charter by
boycotting physicians and taking
other punitive action against in
dividuals and groups of individ-
uals who, the society believes, en-
croach on its members rights.

months of 1887, showed satisfactory business, orders began to fall off throughout the summer and in the last quarter of the year all business began to feel the effects of @ gen. eral business situation.
 In the brass business, the last three months of last year showed heavy losses which have been con- tinued through the first three months of this year. Such large loss es cannot continue indefinitely.
 N0era Affected
 Members of the Brass Workers union, c. I. O., met last night for the reported purpose of bringing to the attention of the management of the Chase companies contract reputed to affect the matter of wage cuts of employees of the Neora Mfg. Co.,, subsidiary. That is the only division of the Chase company where the union has a contract, they announced.
 Union organizers reported to the membership the proposed cut and abolition of vacation schedules but had no official confirmation of the matter last night. Representatives of the company were reported by union organizers to have conferred with the latter yesterday but nc mention of this phase of the affair was made by company officials to- day.
 In Conference At P. M.
 John J. Driscoll, secretary of Int Waterbury Brass Workers Union, CIO affiliate, said at o'clock this afternoon he had been informed that a committee representing the strik' CTS was in conference with J. E Alderman, superintendent of tht north and south plants. The com. mittee consists of eight men.
 A question of procedure is in volved, said MT. Driscoll, if tht strikers actually were comforting with MT. Alderman relative to theil grievances. On the shop commit tee, he said, are Alex Cashin an6 Philip Brainard, CIO organizers and no proceedings toward al adjustment of grievances can b. made, under the rules of the Ma. tional Labor Relations Board, un' less these two members of the com mittee are present.
 At o'clock this afternoon, ef forts to reach MT. Alderman O. other executives were still fruitless

100000 letters and telegrams re- ceived in the Senate also would be sent to the lower chamber.
 Substitute Four Bills
 "We agreed" Cochran said, ito substitute our four bills for the Sen- ate bill, provide for six hours of gen. eral debate, and shut off no debate on amendments under the five minute rule"
 Asked whether the speed of House action was based on an attempt to get a decision before messages of protest arrived in the offices of members-as asserted by some newspapers-Cochran replied:
 "No, there is nothing of that kind at all-absolutely nothing of the kind"
 Cochran promised a hot fight with the Senate over the proposal for creation of a national resources planning board. Should the House substitute be passed and sent to conference for adjustment with the Senate bill, he said, committee members agreed that conferees would stand firm on the issue. The bill would be brought back to the House for separate vote on the planning board if necessary, he said.
 No Planning Board
 None of the four House substi- tutes contains provision for plan ming board as approved by the Sen ate. That issue and differences in procedure in recognizing the gen. eral auditing division are the major points of divergence between House and Senate programs.
 Were not taking advantage of the situation in any shape or form," Cochran said. All the way through everything was fair"
 Cochran refused to predict when the House would reach final vote. Under the arrangement general de- bate would be exhausted tomorrow and reading for amendments would begin Friday. House leaders plan to hold session Saturday if neces- sary to complete action this week
 Two Measures Passed
 Cochran pointed out that the House already had passed two of the reorganization measures - a general bill, 283 to 75, and bill to give President Roosevelt six execu- tive assistants, without record vote but with virtually no opposition. He said presumambly the debate could be concentrated on the two new bills - affecting the comptroller generals office and civil service.

 DuckWorth said it was feared the cancer serum might have become mixed with ingredients of an anti tetanus preparation as there was little doubt that the six deaths were caused by lockjaw.
 Washington, March 30-UP)- The Federal Food and Drug Admin istration today ordered an inveS- tigator to go immediately to Orlan- do, Fla, where six persons died after receiving serum treatments for can- cer.
 Montee O. Rentz, an inspector for the administration, was ordered to leave Jacksonville, Fla, for Or lando.
 Dr. P. B. Dunbar, assistant chief of the administration said Rentz would begin work immediately.
 The administration also dispatch ed an agent to the Canadian point of manufacture of the serum re- portedly used. The serum will be seized by administration officers as soon as it can be located, Dunbar said.

 "Well, the Supreme Court has just ruled" said Judge McGrath, that it's not unlawful to give out handbills or the like, as long as the contents are not abusive, offensive or libelous. This handbill quotes the bill of rights and the constitution and certainly doesn't contain any, thing offensive"
 To Test Legality
 Asked by the court if he thought it was a crime, Prosecutor Healey stated that the case was before the court as a test of the legality of the ordinance.
 Apparently" said Judge Mc- Grath, "the city ordinance is un- lawful. I find the accused not guilty"
 The Supreme Court, in case be- fore it Monday, ruled: "The liberty of the press is not confined to news papers and periodicals. It neces- sarily embraces pamphlets and leaflets. .. The press in its historic connotation comprehends every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion"
 Cashin, DriscOll Statement A joint statement by Alex Cashin and John J. Driscoll on the court decision invalidating the city ordi- nance prohibiting the distribution of handbills was issued following the hearing today:
 we have always regarded the city ordinance prohibiting the distribu- tion of handbills as unconstitutional and we have been intending to at tack it for some time. When the Supreme Court decision came through the other day, reaffirming the guarantees of a free press and specifically pointing out these guarantees of covered handbills and pamphlets, we made up our minds that this was the time to move. Judge McGrath's decision could not have been otherwise, and it was the obvious outcome. Never theless, not every judge in the country knows his constitution and we are glad to have discovered that Judge McGrath is not one of these.
 "The local handbill ordinance, like the many similar ordinances around the country, imposes serious and unjustified restraint upon groups like ours. Trade unions and civil liberties groups have been seriously hampered by these ordinances. We have been deprived here of one of the most potent instruments avail able to trade unions.
 "As a result of the decision, we intend to make free use of handbllls and we regard it as our right to dis tribute them anywhere and on any occasion. We do not intend, how ever, to abuse the privilege. There are laws against libel, against islander, and against blasphemy ano Judge McGrath's decision does not prevent prosecutions on this basis We have no sympathy for groups which interpret the constitution tt mean that everything and anything can be said in handbill, without proper consideration for the com. mon laws of decency and dignity.
 "It is our earnes and sin. cere hope that other Connection judges will remember the constitu' ton of the United States as Judge McGrath did,"

 '"The minority would have to agree" he said.
 T begged with all my power to postpone it a few days so that the public might be informed that we are to insist on retaining the comptroller general. I begged that they do this.
 "Uhe country is in an awful con- dition at the moment. Yesterday 1t was reflected in the stock mar ket particularly, and all financial writers are tying up the financial situation with the reorganization bill.
 This committee never had one day of public hearings on the bill. They were held in secret. We were not allowed to give the public one iota of information.

 The Loyalists themselves disclosed that the supply was threatened in the Lerida region, Spearhead of the i Nationalists drive into Catalonia.

 Mussolini read his speech slowly and deliberately to full session o1 the senate, often waiting until the applause had died down completely before resuming. The speech was broadcast throughout the country.
 In case of necessity, Italy could mobilize 9,000,000 soldiers, Mussolini said.

 "The Mediterranean baseS," he said, have been fortified. New, mod ern depots have been constructed and enough naphtha is stored for a long period of operations. We be- lieve in airplenes which can recon hotter and bomb at the same time.'
 Regarding I t l y's military strength, Mussolini said:
 "In the Ethiopian campaign, the presence of two armed corps in Libya and Spain did not weaken our military structure. The morale of the Italian soldier today is simply superb"
 1 Italy's war factories. he said, "are working day and night without in- terruption."
 Of submarines he said: "It will be difficult, if not impoS- sible, to take this weapon from us. J

 Calculating that 50 per cent of this mass would be required for work behind the lines, there still would be between 100000 and B. 0O,OOO front line soldiers"
 Mussolini proclaimed his belief that war from the air is of para mount importance in any future | struggle.
 war from the air must be con- ducted so as to destroy whatever arrangements the enemy has al- ready made, to dominate the skies and weaken the morale of peoples, '' he said.
 "War from the skies is destined to assume ever greater importance. "

 Severe Depression
 Citing the present business de- pression as lone of the most severe in the history of the country for the time it has lasted" Rodney Chase, assistant secretary of the Chase Brass & Copper Company, at noon today announced posting of wage and salary cuts affecting several divisions. Emphasizing "heavy losses" by the brass industry during and since the last quarter o1 last year, MT.
