Come on, Jews! Do not be
downhearted because the cruel
military Fascists of France have
beaten us there. Our day will
come yet. And, besides, we still
have the United States. The
United States cannot call the
workers into the army and make
them work as they have done in
France.
When we establish social and
economic democracy in the
United States, we can then join
Russia in defeating the rest OF
the world. And when we defeat
Germany this time she will stay
defeated, and how. We will also

Regarding a front page edi-

above title, have this to say.
It seems to me a public apology
from the editor Of the above
mentioned newspaper is the only
decent means by which this
paper could. redeem itself, after
the insulting accusation that
the more than 100000 residents
Of Washington were guilty OF
having stolen milk from babies;
Of living fatty off the rest Of
the country: of crying into their
cocktail glasses about not being
able to vote or not having any,
thing to say about a few cherry
trees.
To my mind this editorial
(sic) is not a damning indict-
ment of civic failure Of the Ma
tons Capital but rather a
damnable nbelous indictment
by this newspaper of the more
than 100000 citizens of the Ma
tons Capital to whom it is obi
gated for it's very existence.
It is needless to say that I
have cancelled my subscription
to the above mentioned news
paper in protest thereof.

There was a mistaken i'm

But it is a mistake to suppose
that the Greeks and the Turks
still dislike one another.
The two nations today have

SECRECY VEIL
THROWN ABOUT
MEDICAL PROBE
Reporters Barred From
Talking to Witnesses

DR.. Michael M. Davis, of New
York, one of the medical profes-
sion's leaders in the field Of group
health insurance, went before an
extraordinary grand jury today to
testify for the Government in the
Department of Justice investiga-
ton of alleged antitrust act viola
tions by the American Medical AS
sociation and the District Medical
Society.
With the avowed intention of
protecting its witnesses" the four
youthful special assistants to the
Attorney General in charge of the
grand jury investigation this
morning took a stop unprece-
dented in local court annals.
BAR INTERVIEWS
They forbade newspaper report
erS interviewing witnesses in the
Police Court building, either be-
fore or after they had testified.
DR.. Davis, however, was recog-
nized as the chairman of the Com
mittee on Research in Medical
Economies, group he has headed
for two years and whose activities
are financed by a special grant
from the Rosenwald Foundation.
Exhaustive researches on the
cost of medical care were made
by medical societies several years
ago after Secretary of Interior Will
bur had caused a five-year re-
search in the question to be made,
results of which we're published
in book form and widely circu-
lated.
FOUNDATION FOR PROBE
Testimony of DR.. Davis and
other preliminary witnesses. who
repeatedly have distinguished
themselves as pioneers in group
health, is to lay the foundation
and provide the background for
the exhaustive inquiry.
On the basis of this testimony,
the Government expects to show
the Grand Jury that the District
Medical Society and the American
Medical Association, by excluding
group health physicians and sur
geons from local hospitals in their
determined fight against the group
health movement here, have com
mitted acts of conspiracy to violate
the Sherman antitrust act.
