Dr.. Matting|y Resumes
Testimony in Probe
Of Medicine
Returns for Second Day
Before Grand Jury
Investigation

Returning for second day of
testimony Dr. Thomas F. Mattingly
of this city today was before the
special grand jury investigating
alleged antitrust charges against
both the American Medical Associa-
ton and the Medical Society of the
District of Columbia
DR.. Mattingly testified yesterday
before both morning and afternoon
sessions The nature of his testi-
mony, of course. was kept secret,
under grand jury rules. but much
interest was evoked by his lengthy
appearance. because few witnesses
have spent SO much time before
the inquisitorial body.
Jury Can Proceed.
Meantime. it was learned. the
grand jury, under a decision yester-
day by Justice James NJ. Proctor in
District Court, can still proceed
against the A. M. A., despite the
jurist's quashing Of two-thirds OF
a subpoena against it.
Already the grand jury has re-
ceived a considerable amount of
data from the A. M. A. and, under
the one-third of, the subpoena ap-
proved by Justice Proctor, many
records could be demanded. Two
representatives of the A. M. A. who
already have appeared in Washing
ton in answer to the subpoena served
against the A. M. A. are DR.. William
Woodward, former health officer of
the District OF Columbia, now di-
rector of the Bureau of Legal Medi-
cine and Legislation of the A. M. A..
and DR.. William Waldo Bauer of
Chicago, director of health educa-
ton and radio programs for the
A. M. A. DR.. Woodward reported
at the grand jury Offices in the
new Police Court Building on No
vember 2, but he did not appear
personally before the grand jury
itself. DR.. Bauer did go before
the grand jury.
Door Open for Probe.
An analysis of Justice Proctor's
opinion yesterday disclosed the i'm
portant point that, although the
jurist Quashed tWo-thirds of the sub
poena in answer to the request of A.
M. A. counsel, he did not hold the
subject matter irrelevant, as contend
ed by A. M. A. counsel. The justice
considered the demand as unreason-
able and oppressive because of the
amount of work required, but he did
not throw the subject matter out
as irrelevant. This, it was believed,
left the door open for the Depart
ment of Justice to continue its probe
into some of these same records of
10 different group medicine organiza-
tions throughout the country, pro-
vided the demand was sufficiently
particular and specific.
There we're indications that the
grand jury probe might run for
weeks longer. It is now in its fifth
week.
