Counsel for Doctors
Hits Justice 'Wornino'
As Appeal Is Rushed
Coils 1t 'Impertinent'
With Ruling Blocking
Further Experiments
By HAROLD b. ROGERS.

AS the Justice Department
launched OH a plan to rush the anti
trust medical case to the Supreme
Court, counsel for the American
Medical Association today char
acterized the warning" issued by
the department to the medical pro-
fession as both "impertinent and
unnecessary
Seth w. Richardson, representing
the A. NJ A. in a retort to the de-
partment's pronouncement of policy
insisted that until a higher court
reverses the ruling handed down
yesterday by Justice James NJ
Proctor, in District Court, invai-
dating the medical indictment, that
decision would prevent any further
legal experiments" on doctors
here. Justice Proctor sustained de-
murrers of the physicians to the in
dictment.
The Justice Department in its
pronouncement which followed
swiftly on the heels Of the jurist's
decision yesterday had warned that
its prosecution policy on medical
boycotts still would stand until the
Supreme Court acted. and that
furthermore new grand jury was
being considered, with a view to
having it take up a new form of
indictment
Mr.. Richardson's Views.
Speaking for the A. M. A. Mr.
Richardson declared: .,s
THE warning, issued by the anti
trust division tof the Justice De-
partmenD to the medival profession
generally, following the filing of the
decision of the District Court on
demurrer, was both impertinent and
unnecessary.
TT was impertinent because, as
the division should know, the Gov
ernment has no jurisdiction what
ever over the, medical profession,
save in the District of Columbia.
and medical men elsewhere need
pay no attention to the threats OF
the Antitrust Division.
The warning was unnecessary
because the members of the medical
profession did not, do not and will
not violate any of the antitrust or
other statutes in the pursuit of their
callings.
Finally, with reference to the
statement of the division that the
present decision is not a controlling
precedent and that new grand jury
proceedings may follow, it is suffi-
cient to reply that until the present
ruling Is reversed counsel for the de-
fendents believe that it stands as an
effective bar to any similar abortive
attempts on the part of the division
to make further legal experiments
upon the doctors in the District of
Columbia"
From counsel for the local doctors
and from the doctors themselves
came words of appreciation for both
the decision by Justice Proctor and

Community Center
Officers Are EXEMPT
In Recreation Shifts
D. c. Act Interpretation
Held Probable Cause
Of Reorganization Delay

The positions and salaries of the
director of community centers, the
two general community center secre-
taries and the 10 community secre-
taries cannot be changed or
abolished to make room for a re-
organization of the District recre-
alton setup.
This fact was learned today as the
District auditors Office interpreted
the District Appropriation Act now
in effect as specifically exempting
these positions and salaries from any
reorganization which may be placed
in effect.
The act provides for personal
services of the director. general
secretaries and community secre-
taries in accordance with the Teach
ers' Salary Act of June 4, 1924"
There is q possibility that in ad-
dition one clerk and three Junior
clerks in the Community Center
Department come under the CLASH
fication Act of 1923 and cannot be
reorganized either.
Specific Legislation Only Way.
The Auditors Office said today
that this means these positions and
their salaries cannot be changed un-
less specific legislation is passed
to permit it.
This Interpretation of the Appro-
priation Act, observers said today,
is probably responsible for the de-
lay in approval of reorganized
setup which Recreation Director
Lewis r. Barrett is trying to work
out with a subcommittee of the
District Recreation Board composed
of Commissioner David McCoach,
jr., and School Board Member C.
Sharpe.
The effect it will have on Mr.
Barrett's plan is not known yet. 1t
is thought by those close to the
progress of the reorganization that
the inviolacy of these positions had
not been reckoned with until a meet
ing of Mr.. Barrett with the sub
committee yesterday, which was at
tended by District Auditor Daniel j..
Donovan.
RumOrS Called False.
Despite declarations from Mr..
Sharpe and Col. McCoach that
rumors that Miss Sibyl Baker, play
ground director, will be given an
assistant dictatorship in the new
recreation setup Immediately sub
ordinate to Mr.. Barrett are false,
this Interpretation injects new posi-
bilities that Miss Baker may be given
her old post of director of Com
munity Centers, the position left
open by the resignation of Mrs
Elizabeth Peoples.

ext Of Hull Note
Notice Given Jopon on
Terminating Treaty

Following is the text of the note
by Secretary Hull to the japanese
Ambassador terminating the 1911
treaty of commerce and navigation
with Japan:
July 26, 1899
His Excellency
Kensuke Horinouchi,
japanese Ambassador.
Excellency:
During recent years, the Govern
ment of the United States has been
examining the treaties of commerce
and navigation in force between
the United States and foreign coun-
tries with view to determining
what changes may need to be made
toward better serving the purposes
for which such treaties are con-
cluded. In the course of this sur
vey, the Government of the United
States has come to the conclusion
that the treaty of commerce and
navigation between the United
States and Japan which was signed
at Washington on February 81. 1911,
contains provisions which need new
consideration. Toward preparing
the way for such consideration and
with a view to better safeguarding
and promoting American interests
Is new developments may require,
the Government of the United
States, acting in accordance with
the procedure prescribed in article
II of the treaty under reference,
gives notice hereby of its desire that
this treaty be terminated, and, hav-
ing thus given notice, will expect
the treaty, together with its ac-
companying protocol, to expire six
months from this date.
Accept, Excellency, the renewed
assurances of my highest considera-
ton. CORDELL HULL.

Act Termed UnfriendIy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July 27.-Japanese Off
cials disclosed tonight they were
studying possible means of eco
nomic retaliation for the United
States denunciation of her trade
treaty with Japan, which foreign
Office and other government circles
regarded as an unfriendly act be-
cause of its abruptness.
The foreign Office spokesman de-
clared that Japan certainly will
take retaliatory measures if there
is discrimination by America" after
expiration of the six months re-
quired actually to terminate the
treaty.
Japan then will have no most
favored nation" clause with the
United States and her trade with
America. therefore, will be under
conditions less favorable than that
Of many other countries.
The suddenness of Washington S
action created profound impress
sion in Toxic, where the denuncia-
ton displaced Japans quarrel with
Britain in China as chief topic of
public concern.
End of Treaty "Unthinkable."
The foreign Office spokesman de-
clared that ending of the treaty was
"unthinkable."
Nobody can ignore the political
significance of the action which was
not preceded by any exchange of
notes or previous notification" he
said.
I'VE fail to understand America S
real intention"
that the United States Embassy was
as surprised by the swiftness of the
State Departments action as was
the japanese foreign Office
Although neither the EMBASSY
nor the foreign Office had received
an official explanation of the move
1t was disclosed in official circles
that the Japanese government al
ready was studying possible steps to
retahate in an economic way.
Domestic Gesture Seen.
IF Washington intended merely
to complete a new treaty (at the
end of the six months notification
period, the abrogation would not
have been so sudden and would have
been preceded by conversations" the
foreign Office spokesman said.
Japan, he said, wonders if the
action was intended to protect
American interests not only in the
Orient but at home 1t may be
either an international or a domes-
tic political gesture, but there must
be something behind it,"
whether Japan would be willing
TO discuss a new treaty depended
on either the Washington explana-
tion or Japan's Interpretation of the
treaty decision.

 A Nazi member suggested that Denmark break off diplomatic rela- ticns with Russia and when Com munist leader Axel Larsen rose to speak, all parties from the Conser- vatives on the Right and Social Democrats on the Left, departed, leaving only two Communist mem bers to listen to their leader
 When normal deliberations were resumed, a Nazi member asked Prime Minister Stauning if diplo- matic relations would be broken and he answered in the negative.
