ASKED:
FORHAGUE ACTION
0'ConneII Letter Wants to
Know if There Has to Be
Civil War to Get Help.
BY the Associated Press.

by tbe ASSoClateo fTeSt.
Representative Jerry J. O'Connell,
Democrat. of Montana denied a per-
nit to speak at Jersey City, N. j.,
mass meeting last Saturday night,
said today he had sent a letter to
President Roosevelt asking whether
there has to be civil war to cause you
to do something about the sinking
situation in Jersey City?"
Mr.. O'Connell and his colleague,
Representative John T. Bernard,
Farmer-Labor. of Minnesota, aban-
doned their Jersey City speaking en-
gagement after a crowd Of $1,000
gathered to prevent the Congressmen's
mass meeting.
The Montanan also declared to news
paper men that Attorney General
Cummings had ignored" his request
for Federal agents to protect him at
the Jersey City meeting
"All l had was a telephone reply
from one of Mr.. Cummings aides, say
ing the Attorney General had no power
to use Federal agents in Jersey City
and that my request had been terribly
embarrassing to him.
1T looks to me like the Attorney
General is afraid of Mayor Hague (of
Jersey City and his gangster kingdom,
so I'm writing the President to ask
him whether there has to be q civil
war to cause him to do something
about the situation in Jersey City that
stinks to high heaven"
Maybe If there is some bloodshed."
Mr.. O'Connell added. "as was threat
ened Saturday night when Hagues
hoodlums set up their machine guns,
the President will be moved to act"
Mr.. O'Connell said he would try to
see the President. personally. He said
he would ask Jersey City officials for
a permit to make an address there on
May 81, but I don't have any hope
that Dictator Hague will let me
have It,"

LEGAL REMEDIES
Yale Law Journal Suggests
Physicians Expelled by
Society Go to Court.

Attacking the stubborn intolerance
of organized medicine, the Yale Law
Journal. out today, suggests legal
remedies for physicians expelled by
medical societies for engaging in group
medical practice, such as that carried
on by the Group Health Association
here.
The article, published in a depart
ment called Case and Comment,
recommended that a physician so ex-
PEELED should first seek reinstatement
by appealing to the judicial council
Of the American Medical Association.
Then If the appeal fails, the journal
recommends, the doctor should seek
redress In the courts. The article
further suggested possible congress
sional investigation of the A. M. A.
DR.. Mario Scandiffio. child specialist
with G. H. A.. was expelled from the
District Medical Society last March,
but still is engaged in group medical
practice at the associations clinic in
the 1900 block of street NV.
Dealing with the G. H. A. case. the
journal suggests the expelled doctor
might build a good case for reinstate-
ment on the ground that the society s
bylaw prohibiting members from en-
gaging in group practice was In re-
straint OF trade, and therefore con-
trary to public policy 1t also sug-
gests that the physician urge that
expulsion was part Of scheme by
which the society hoped to destroy
G. H. A. and thereby remove the threat
which its continued existence ;ti-
tuted to the schedule of fees cha rged
by the individual practitioner in the
District.
Regardless Of the ultimate outcome
OF the various experiments to spread
and reduce the costs of medical care" "
the article says, the public obviously
has q vital interest in assuring a fair
trial to organizations like Group
Health Association.
But as long as medical societies can
brandish the bludgeon of expulsion
free experimentation - long extolled
by the medical profession itself as the
very lifeblood Of scientific progress
will be throttled."
Bills are pending in Congress for
investigation of both the A. M. A.
and G. H. A.

PHYSICIANS FIND
SUBSIDY POSSIBLE
N. Y. Medical Society Group
Says Only Physical
Equipment Is Meant.
By the i,s.tciated Press.

NEW YORK. May "a special
committee of the Medical Society of
the State of New York suggested to-
day that some form of Government
subsidy for medical service might be-
come necessary. but urged that the
society exercise vigilance that physi-
cal equipment only is subsidized.
Medical personnel, it added. should
not be subject either to Government
control or direction"
The report was made by a COM
mittee Of eight physicians, headed by
DR.. Walter W. Mott of White Plains,
N. Y. at the 1920 annual meeting of
the society and was sent to a refer
ence committee to be reported later
to the house of delegates.
DR.. Mott and his colleagues had
been engaged for a year in a study
Of State health policy. Their re-
port was designed to point the way
to policy which would make "ade-
quate medical care" available to every
body but which would keep control of
professional service in the hands of
the physicians themselves and not in
the hands of 'laymen = Govern
ment bureaus or officials"
Having stated their objections to
any State control of medicine, DR..
Mott and his fellow committeeman
added:
80 We believe it is the duty of
the medical profession to examine
with sympathetic interest and a spirit
Of mutual cooperation any plan pro-
posed by laymen to finance medical
service expense and to approve those
which meet the following fundamental
requirements:
Il. That they maintain or raise the
standard of quality of medical care.
.. That they provide a fair and
reasonable remuneration on an ethical
basis
g. That they do not involve, directly
or indirectly, the interposition of a
third party. as regards medical mat
ters. between the patient and the ply
sician of his choice"
The term adequate medical care was
defined by the committee as meaning
sufficient competent professional serv-
Ice to maintain or restore good health,
or to palliate incurable disease"
The society is one Of the oldest and
largest OF regional American medical
bodies.
