ercise its authority in dealing with
the situation"
Taking up the hospital situation
here, Senator Capper charged that
trustees OF hospitals here have ad-
mitted they were "powerless" when
their Judgment ran contrary to that
OF their medical staffs." He said one
board OF trustees reversed its vote
to admit members of G. H. A. be-
cause the board was notified that
otherwise the medical staff would
walk out"
Il understand several trustees of
local hospitals have stated frankly"
said Senator Capper. that the hos
pltals are in competitive position
since they require patients and the
financial income from them to main
tain their services. They said that
unless all hospitals act in unison to
admit members and doctors of the
Group Health Association, the doctors
OF the city would boycott the individual
institutions and thus take from them
income which they need to keep going.
1t seems to me it is time that the
members of Congress have the facts
which have been developed out of
the recent controversy, so that they
may deal both with the hospital
trustees and with the medical fra
ternity in insuring disqualification to
the full extent Of their resources with
out discrimination"

high ethics of the medical profess
sion, I could not bring myself TO &C.
lieve that the charges made were we'll
founded and expressed the belief that
an investigation would disprove them
and would vindicate those accused OF
unethical conduct. Another reason
why believe an investigation should
be held is that in accusations of this
kind it is better to have the facts
established Immediately than to allow
the medical profession to be exposed
to loose accusations and the miplant-
ing in the public mind Of doubt as to
the high morals and ethics OF the
medical profession as a whole.
my position Is that I at all times
stand ready to favor an investigation
into such charges against the medical
profession or any Of its reputable
members because believe that except
perhaps in isolated cases such charges
are usually idle gossip. which would be
disproved by an orderly investigation,
and because believe the medical pro-
fession is too important, that its
ideals are too fine, that its service to
humanity is too great and that its
necessity to human welfare is too
vital to allow it to be rendered sus-
pect."
Capper Cites Cases.
Senator Capper in his statement
cited specific cases in cities where
voluntary group advocates were hav-
ing trouble. He included Washington,
st. Louis, Milwaukee, Akron, Little
Rock, Philadelphia, San Diego and
San Francisco.

Foreign Office Considers Advisability
OF Admitting Austrian Refugees.

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 26 (P.-
The foreign Office has under advise
ment the possibility of admitting
Austrian refugees to settle the interior
Of Brazil, it was learned today.
Officials said Foreign Minister Os-
waldo Aranha would make a statement
In few days.
To permit entry of Austrians, Brazil
must reinterpret or suspend consti-
tutional proviso limiting immigration
from any country to per cent of its
nationals residing in this country the
past so years.
Austria's 1887 quota was ,655 immi-
grants.
Shortly after Mr.. Aranha took office
on March Is he said Brazils greatest
problem in the next half century
would be racial amalgamation.
We must solve it with increased
immigration of white races" he said.
Brazils civilized population, esti-
mated at $4,000, 900, is concentrated in
an area 300 miles wide along the
Atlantic seaboard. This leaves nearly
two-thirds of her 3,285 900 square miles

Scott Champions G. H. A.
Mr.. Scott, on the other hand, is an
avowed champion of G. H. A., and has
made two attacks on the doctors. His
last attack, on the floor of the House
raised the question of an operation on
young woman G. H. A. member
which stirred bitter controversy be-
tween G. H. A. and the Medical So
ciety over the facts in the case. Mr..
Scott plans to introduce his resolu-
ton tomorrow.
Mr.. Shafer, as member of the
Hospital Subcommittee, said he be-
lieved the inquiry properly is one for
his group, which is vitally concerned
with the public health. He plans to
confer this week with Chairman
Jenckes of the subcommittee, with q
view to initiating the investigation
without special authority by vote OF

President Roosevelt's offer of sane
tuary to the oppressed Of Europe may
serve as spur to immigration, but
Labor Department statistics, viewed
along with restrictions imposed by the
quota law of 1924, indicate that what
ever influx of aliens results will not
be Of such proportions as to create
an economic problem in this country
The ever widening scope of the dis
turbances across the Atlantic un-
doubtedly is having its effect on the
westward trek, but the number of
foreigners entering the United States
continues far below the allowable max
imums and there is a compensating
shift in the opposite direction.
The Presidents gesture, as he ex-
planned, was toward the Catholics
under the Barcelona regime, anti
Fascists of Italy, Trotzkyites of Rus
sia and Protestants. Jews and Cath
olics of Germany and Austria. Logi-
cally, it would extend also to Czecho-
slovakia, suspected as Hitler's next
goal.
Annual Quota, 5000.
The total annual quota for these
nations. however is only 39,0l0, out
of l50,50l for all Europe, and at the
rate at which their nationals entered
this country in the first five months
of the present fiscal year-the latest
for which figures are available-the
maximum immigration between now
and June 80 would be $4,000 persons,
If all eligibles came in. This does
not. of course, take into considera-
ton the number of aliens permitted
to enter without regard to quota,
such, for instance, as the wives, minor
children and husbands of citizens.
These non-quota groups last year were
productive of about so per cent of the
total immigration from Europe.
The largest movement of immi-
grants would be permitted from the
area where there is greatest need
Austria and Germany. The quota
established for the former was l,413
and the latter 25,957, but this COM
bined total Of 27,370 applies to the
joint union now. For the first five
months this year, each country was
sending out about per cent of its
quota. If the same ratio has prevailed
until now. the migration figure is about
As per cent for each, which would
mean that approximately $4,000 others
still were eligible to enter the United
States before July l, when next years
quota is thrown open.
The most pronounced exodus this
year has been from Czechoslovakia,
about At per cent of the quota of
1919 persons having come to this
country up to December /. From Italy,
with quota Of 5,802, the movement
ran around 20 per cent; from Russia,
it was approximately IA per cent of
the allowable Pip, while the Spanish
quota nearly had reached its limit,
209 of its nationals coming here, as
against quota of 252.
Actual immigration 39,010.
In all, out of the total quotas Of
5000, the actual immigration was

BIG CIVILIAN TOLL
SEEN|NNEXTW WAR
Barcelona Bombing Backs
Theory of American
Army Officers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Five days of extensive bombing of
Barcelona by Spanish insurgent planes
killed about 1000 civilians and wound
ed twice as many, while nearly four
years of World War air raids on Lon
don took only SAL lives.
This and other comparisons have
strengthened the conviction of many
American Army officers that aerial
fighting in new world war would take
heavy toll of civilians.
Cool to Current Predictions.
They are not ready to accept, how
ever, the predictions once widely cur
rent, that a new Armageddon would
convert great capitals into dust heaps
and that gas would wipe out whole
populations.
Casualty reports from Spain, experts
said yesterday. have been under scru-
tiny here in studies of modern wars
effect on civilians Because of the
unequal nature of the fighting and
other special factors, those from the
Sino-Japanese and Italo- Ethiopian
conflicts have been of lesser value.
Educated Guesses.
While. reports to the War Depart
ment from Col Stephen o. Fuqua,
Madrid military attache. and other
official observers are confidential, here
are what officials termed educated
guesses":
Loyalist civilian losses from air raids
and other direct military causes-12,-
900 killed, 10000 wounded. Insur-
gents, 1900 killed, 1000 wounded.
Madrid-3,o00 killed, 5000 wounded.
Population reduced by evacuation from
l.050,000 to less than 100000. In 10
weeks Madrid was bombed 80 times;
other losses were suffered from shells
on suburban battle fields.
5000 Killed in Barcelona.
Barcelona-3,0OO killed, 5000 wound
ed, mostly in a five-day series of raids
this month.
Excluded from the estimate were
deaths from the civil warfare's assas-
sinations and executions The FAM
inc and pestilence that took possibly
100000 lives in the World War have
played no such tragic roles in COM
paratively well-fed Spain.
