MEDICAL HEAD
NOT SURPRISED

News that the special grand
jury had returned indictments
against the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, the District Medical
Society, the Washington Academy
Of Surgery, and a number of
doctors, was taken calmly by DIR.
William Mallory, president of the
District Medical Society.
Declining to speak in his Of
ficial capacity, DR.. Mallory OBJ
served:
I'm reminded of the classic
line uttered anent another great
Situation-"Alas, terrible news!
The Dutch have taken Hol-
landp"
DR.. Mallory. speaking unof-
ficially again, said he thought the
indictments would come as no
great surprise to the medical pro

War FOllOWed
Expulsion

Battle lines for a fight to the
finish between Group Health AsSo-
citation, Inc, and organized physi-
clans were drawn early last year
when DR.. Mario Scandiffio, child
specialist. was expelled by the Dis
trict Medical Society.
DR.. Scandiffio's expulsion was
followed closely by the withdrawal
of hospital courtesy privileges
from DR.. Raymond Soldiers, Group
Health surgeon. after charges of
unethical practices were preferred
against him before the Harris
County (Tex) Medical Society, of
which he is a member.
IRONY IN EXPULSION
Ironically, while the Grand
Jury was nearing evidence in
the present case, DR.. Scandiffi
received word from headquar-
tiers of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION that his appeal for re-
view of his expulsion had been
granted, and a few weeks later
DR.. Soldiers received word from the
Harris county (Texas) ASSocia-
ton. that charges against him
had been dropped.
DR.. ScanGiffo claimed he Of
fered to resign from the local
medical society after he accepted
his post with CHA when it was
founded but the offer was not
acted upon he later withdrew it.
OPERATION HALTED
| Last March 16 the Medical So
ciety voted 148 to S to expel DR..
Scandiffio, on the ground that he
had violated medical ethics by
signing the CHA contract for his
services, without the approval of
the society
A few days later DR.. Soldiers,
who already had performed one
operation in Garfield Hospital was
notified as he prepared another
patient for an operation that his
courtesy privileges had been with,
drawn.
DR.. Soldiers learned that sub
Stantlally the same charges as
had resulted in the expulsion OF
DR.. Scandiffio had been placed
against him in Houston, Tex.
where he was licensed to practice
in 1927.

Medical Association Indicted AS Monopoly

entered into the presentation OF
the case to the Grand Jury.
The Government attorneys
branded the actions of the ANA
and the local group as a con
spiracy' and handled the case as
a violation of the Sherman anti.
trust law of 1890.
Restraint Charged
The Government charged a num-
Der of illegal acts, including re-
straint of individual doctors, re-
Straint of members of CHA from
obtaining adequate medical care,
restraint of hospitals in their bust
ness.
Records of the District Medical
Society were brought before the
jury, and the Government con-
tended that these records showed
combination and conspiracy in
restraint of trade.
Punitive" action was threat
ened by the District Medical So
ciety against hospitals which per-
mitted doctors from the CHA to
be on the courtesy list" the Gov
eminent contended, and this &C.
ton was branded as illegal coer-
cion.
Since the Grand Jury probe
started, the District Medical So
ciety has drawn up its own pro-
gram of ''low-coSt" medicine for
those in the low-income brackets,
and this plan is now being voted
upon by the members.
The ANA recently modified its
stand of opposition to group medi-
cine. and in a number of States
similar programs are now being
inaugurated,

UNDATED, Dec. 8 (H) - Re ports of Italian troop concentra- tons in Northern Spain within easy striking distance of the French frontier caused concern in France as Italians in Tunisia d monstrated in support of Fas- cist colonial claims on France. Frances worry over the Italian campaign was also aggravated by the widespread belief that Germany was backing Rome's colonial aspirations.

The resolution they said was but q simple declaration of the exist ence of a growing threat to Am srican peace from abroad and of need of defense against outside aggression.
 It is the determination of each country to defend itself to the utmost if attacked.

 He also told reporters that ef- fective coordination would be ob tained among intelligence forces of the government, but emphas- ized howevsr. that he was going to ask additional appropriations to meet the situation by no means ended by the recent spy trial in New York. He said that no OGPU or secret police were needed to. watch the American people but the nation does need to have it's people watch the, secret police of other nations.
