Milwaukee Doctors

Called Today Before
Grand Jury

Two Milwaukee physicians were
tried, convicted and thrown out"
Of their medical society there be-
fore they had completed a plan
for group budget medicine" they
explained in an interview here to
the Associated Press.
They were DR.. j. E. Rueth and
DR.. A. L. Curtin, who operate the
Milwaukee Medical Center, which
opened in April, 1896. The center
originated with a group of day la
borers in the Milwaukee plant Of
the International Harvester Co.,
they said. Since that time the CEN
ter has grown to include some 5000
individuals or heads Of families, per-
haps 5000 people in all.
The two physicians were in Wash
ington yesterday to testify before
the additional grand jury investi-
eating organized medicine. They en-
phasized they could not disclose their
testimony before the grand jury.
The story Of their difficulties in
Milwaukee, however, they explained,
was we'll known out there.
I'VE have no quarrel with organ
lied medicine" said DR.. Curtin,
"other than the one picked with us.
Some day organized medicine will
put its shoulder to the wheel and
arrange its practices for better serv-
ices" He said the two physicians
were accused of advertising, solicit
ing, violation of the insurance laws,
all of which they denied.
Two doctors from Texas we're
called to the additional grand jury
today. They were DR.. Holman Tay-
lor Of Fort Worth. an Official OF the
Texas State Medical Society, and
DR.. A. T. Talley Of Houston. Tex,
chairman of the Board of Censors
of the Harris County Medical So
ciety. This society recently dis
missed charges Of unethical practice
brought against DR.. Raymond E.
Selders, medical director of Group
Health Association here, at instiga-
ton of the Medical Society Of the
District of Columbia.
The grand jury is investigating
charges by the Department of JUS
tice that both the American Medical
Association and the Medical Society
of the District of Columbia violated
the Sherman Antitrust Act through
efforts to coerce and boycott Group

This, In substance, will be the
Governments argument tomorrow
before Justice Bolitha ]. Laws in
District Court In a case involving
q criminal charge in which the de-
tense counsel wants the so-called
detector used on his client to prove
his innocence.
Assistant United States Attorney

today, that the use of the so-called

of insufficient showing Of scientific

Antitrust Legislation
Action Not Expected
For More Than Year
Monopoly Committee
Not Believed Ready
For Recommendations
b. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
There were indications today that
the Federal Monopoly Committee
may delay for a year or more any
specific recommendations for new
ANTITRUST legislation.
Well-iformed persons, asking that
their names be withheld, said a be-
lief was growing among some men,
bers that committee procedure
would make 1t virtually impossible
to enact monopoly law at the COM
ing session Of Congress.
Groundwork Study.
The committee has decided to con-
duct broad groundwork" study OF
the Nations business machinery be-
fore proceeding to legislative prob
lens. 1t gathered data on the use
of patents by the automobile indus
try this week. and will make a SINH
lar study Of the glass container in
dustry beginning Monday. 1t then
will adjourn for the holidays.
Spokesman said any undue delay
In working out legislation may draw
opposition from Thurman Arnold,
chief Of the Justice Departments 8
Antitrust Division; Senator Borah,
Republican, of Idaho, and Leon
Henderson. the committees execu-
tive secretary.
Mr.. Arnold and Senator Borah
are members of the investigating
group. The Idaho Senator long has
urged a direct approach" to the
monopoly problem through enact
ment Of control legislation. He has
contended that additional. lengthy
studies contribute nothing new to
the vast store OF information al
ready gathered on monopolies.
Borah May Break Silence.
Thus far, Senator Borah has been
silent on the committees decision to
conduct thorough background"
studies, but some of his friends said
today he may speak out if these are
continued too long.
Under the law, the committee NAV
continue its activities until 1910. It
has a $5oo,ooo appropriation.
Regardless of what course the
committee pursues. Congress may act
on separate legislation to restrict
bank holding companies.

Where the contract was made,
the declarers realized that they
could afford to lose only one club,
so that after cashing the club @,
they did not cover East's 10 on the
second round with the K. Their
figuring was that if East had held
