SOUGHT IN HOLD-UP
Filling Station Manager Is
Locked in Washroom and
Phone Torn Out.

Three young bandits were being
sought by police today for the hold
up and robbery of filling station
manager. whom they forced into a
washroom and then prevented him
from summoning aid by tearing the
telephone from the wall.
The victim, Alfred Hammond, night
manager of the Holmes Service Sta
ton, 488 Maryland avenue S.W., said
he was alone in the place last night
when the men drove up.
While two of them stood guard out
side, the third, Mr.. Hammond said,
entered the station with a revolver
in his hand. After forcing the man.
ager to go into the washroom and
pulling off the telephone, the bandit
took about $40 from the cash register,
police were told.
Among other petty crimes reported

DR.. F|SHBE|N HITS
P[ANSL|KE EG.H A.
Medical Society's Official
Castigates 'DeIusions
of Social Workers.
BY :he Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April ga new attack
by DR.. Morris Fishbein, spokesman
for the American Medical Association,
on the use of Federal funds for public
medical service, widened the breach
today between groups at odds over
the question.
Dr. Fishbein said in an address last
night that only the physician is
capable of determining the real medi-
cal needs of the people,
Proposals for the Use of Federal
funds in medical service, he said, ARE
IN accord with the extraordinary de-
luslons OF grandeur and with the
vague and misguided conceptions that
continue to emanate from the social
service workers who have sought to
assume control of the practice of
medicine in the United States"
Snugly Ensconced.
DR.. Fishbein replied to Dr. James
H. Means, retiring president of the
American College of Physicians, who
said IN New York address it would
be wholesome" if there was an EN-
hghtened opposition party within the
democracy of the American Medical
Association DR.. Means said he was
not advocating revolt" against the
association.
DR. Means" said DR.. Fishbein, lis
unfortunately typical of considerable
number OF physicians snugly ensconced
IN laboratories or in full-time positions
In medical schools who are unaware
OF the problems of the general prac-
tltloner and who never see the people
or even understand those whom they
would serve"
Stands on Record.
Their chief objective, DR.. Fishbein
continued, was to secure more and
more Government funds for the SUBJ
sldlzing of medical education, of hos
pltals and of the care of the sick"
This. he contended, would lead to
"conflscatory taxation" of industry and
the individual worker for the benefit
OF the employees of the bureaucracy
and those who have not or will not
work"
He said the medical profession
has compiled record in the United
states that could challenge that of
any state controlled system in for
elgn nations. The profession, he
ADDED, does not propose to relinouish
Its functions until satisfied that some
other system will give better medical
service to more people,

TEAR GAS ROUTS GROUP
AT ENGRAVING BUREAU
Accidental Release of Fumes in
Armored Truck Compels
Cessation of Work,

Tear gas accidentally released in an
armored truck at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing yesterday after
noon routed number of employees
from their work and seeped through
tunnel under Fourteenth street from
the old building to the new annex
under construction.
Workmen loading postage stamps
for delivery to the Post Office Depart
ment released a lever in the truck by
mistake. The fumes forced them to
flee and the gas spread into nearby
sections of both buildings.
The gas did not spread over a large
area, and only few employees were
forced to leave their work temporarily.
Meanwhile, the drivers returned to the
truck and made the delivery of the
stamps while wearing gas masks.

The Political Mill
Roosevelt Seems Careful in Selecting Victims for
Purge Slaughter.

p A. both are aligned against George,
his chances for denomination will not
be bright. It looks like that kind Of
opposition for the Senator. With
Talmadge and George both denounced
as anti-administration by the Presi-
dent, the effort to divide the opposition
to Camp seems well on its way. In
Georgia, however, If . candidate fails
to win a majority Of the delegates
elected to a State convention-where
the choice for Senator is finally made
there must be q run-on primary be-
tween the two candidates with the
greatest number Of delegates. It is
quite possible, therefore, that in the
end Camp will have to face Senator
George or former Gov. Talmadge. The
split in the Camp opposition would
have vanished under those conditions.
There is . fourth candidate for the
senatorial nomination-but he Is not
considered as an important factor.
although he might take enough votes
in district to give the delegates to
one Of the other candidates.
The New Dealers at least have set
tied on a candidate to defeat, If he
can, Representative John J..O'Con-
nor, in the sixteenth congressional dis
trict Of New York He is James H.
Fay, deputy collector Of internal rev.
enue. And 80 the Roosevelt purge"
continues. Mr.. O'Connor, chairman OF
the important House Rules Commit
tee, declined flatly to come to heel on
the Presidents reorganization bill. He
was accused also of helping to hold up
the wage-hour bill because the Rules
Committee declined to give . special
rule for the consideration Of that
measure. Mr.. O'Connor denies he had
any part in delaying the wage hour
bill after 1t had been properly
amended.
Labor's Non-Partisan League Is out
to get O'Connor The American Labor
party in New York. fostered by the
league. will indorse Fay for the nomi-
nation. He will have some Tammany
support, too, for he Is Tammany man,
despite the fact that O'Connor Is ON
cially designated by Tammany as a
candidate for denomination. If O'Con-
nor does not get the Democratic nomi-
nation or that Of the Labor party, he
may have the Republican nomination
In such circumstances, the fight will
be carried into the November campaign
and election.

LACK Of D. c. VOTE
IS HIT BY CLERIC
Rev. Edward DoW|ing Raps
Situation at Catholic
Action Meeting.

The voteless plight Of the District
Of Columbia was deplored yesterday
by the Rev. Edward Downing. s. j.,
associate editor Of the Queens Work,
in an address before the general ses-
sion of the Summer School of Catholic
Action at the Washington Hotel.
In discussing social justice in Amer
lea, Father Dowling told the delegates
that "disfranchisement of half a mill
lion people in the Nations Capital is
. distinct injustice
In explaining his position in an
interview afterward. Father Dowling
declared that in some cases the dis
reimbursement was "self-imposed" by
persons who fail to take advantage
of their absentee voting privileges or
who fail to establish residence in one
Of the nearby States.
But" he declared, this doesn't
solve the problem. don't think vot-
ing is privilege conferred by govern
ment. It is q right prior to the set
ting up of government
Quoting the old principle that gov
ernment derives its just powers from
the consent of the governed, Father
Bowling charged this principle was
