OF GROUP HEALTH.
Justice Bailey May Hand
Down Ruling Tomorrow
on Test Suit.
LITIGATION is RESULT
OF THREAT BY PINE
superintendent of Insurance Also
Brought Into Fight by Move
to Seek Dissolution.

The legality of the activities of the
Group Health Association, Inc,
formed to provide low-cost medical
care for Government workers, may
be decided in District Court tomorrow
by Justice Jennings Bailey.
Justice Bailey will hear arguments
on. motions to dismiss a suit filed by
the association for declaratory judg-
ment that its functions are legal.
Rejection by the court of the mo-
tions to dismiss would in effect affirm
the legality of Group Health, although
the Government might carry the case
to the Court of Appeals.
The motions were filed by United
States Attorney David A. Pine and
Superintendent of Insurance ]. Balch
Moor, who were named as defendants
in the associations suit.
Threatened With Legal Action.
Group Health filed its suit after
Mr.. Pine had threatened to take legal
action against the organization on
the ground that it was practicing
medicine illegally Mr.. Moor was
brought into the case because he pro-
posed to seek dissolution of the asso-
citation unless it reincorporated as
an insurance corporation and COM
piled with all the requirements of the
local insurance statutes.
In its suit the association said it lin
no. manner commentaries the prac-
tice of medicine in contravention of
T., 1in
it is in the insurance business because
it makes no indemnity payments and
| insures against no hazard or peril.
When the suit was filed last Janu-
ary about 1000 employees of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board, the
Home Owners Loan Corp. and aff1l-
lated agencies were members of the
association, paying s2.2o month for
medical attention, disqualification and
clinical service.
According to the suit the associa-
ton has spent about $4,000 in set
ting up a modern clinic at 1928
street NV and since last November
has been furnishing full service to
its members through salaried physi-
clans.
Medical Society Filed Brief.
The District Medical Society entered
the case as friend of the court" by
tfhng a brief supporting the conten-
tions Of Mr.. Pine and Mr.. Moor that
the association is functioning Illegally
The Group Health controversy
assumed national proportions last
March when President Roosevelt made
it clear at a press conference that he
did not approve of the medical So
ciety's opposition to the organization.
1t was disclosed early this month
chat the Department of Justice has
begun an investigation of complaints
fthat the American Medical Association
and the. District Medical Society had
violated Federal antitrust laws in
their fight against Group Health. The
department as yet has made no report
Of its findings.
The dispute also had repercussions
In Congress, where the attitude of
the medical society drew both criti-
cism and praise.
