j. ). 10 Push Case
Against Physicians
In Appeals Court
Prepares to File Briefs
After Supreme Court
Refuses Review

The Government was ready today
to push the antitrust case against
the medical profession through the
Court of Appeals of the District,
with prospects that argument would
be if December.
An attempt to shorten procedure
by going directly to the Supreme
Court with an appeal from the ad-
verse decision of the lower court
which several months ago voided
the indictment, failed yesterday
when the high tribunal refused a
review. AS a result, the Department
of Justice was preparing to file
briefs which must be in the Court
Of Appeals within Is days. Ten days
after that, briefs must be in from
the defendants, who include the
American Medical Association, the
Medical Society of the District of
Columbia, the Washington Academy
of Surgeons, Harris County (Tex)
Medical Society and 81 physicians.
Won First Round.
They are accused of interfering
with the operations of Group Health
Association, Inc, cooperative
venture of the Home Owners Loan
Corp, but won the first round in
the fight with the Government when
Justice James M. Proctor sustained
a demurrer to the indictment
against them, ruling that the medi-
co1 vorcfoccior, ic mt q 0fro doD u,itL -
in the meaning of the Sherman
Antitrust Act.
The defense had joined with the
Government in seeking to expedite
action, but the Supreme Court re-
fused to take jurisdiction at this
time, presumably because it was de-
sired that the case come up through
the Court of Appeals. It is con-
ceded that whatever disposition is
made there, the litigation again will
find its way to the high court.
Adhered to Precedent.
The Justice Department COM
menting on the decision of the Su-
preme Court said in a statement last
night:
The court only adhered to prece-
dent in refusing to take jurisdiction
under such circumstances, except
where cases involving similar ques-
tions are already pending before the
court or where some outstanding
constitutional issue is presented.
"The action of the court has no
bearing whatsoever on the merits
of the case"
The Supreme Court adjourned yes
terday until November 6, when the
first opinions of the new term will
be read.
Among actions yesterday was de-
NAL of a review of a ruling of the
Court Of Claims refusing a refund of

Gov. 0'Conor's S Stand
For Roadside Beauty
Legislation Is Lauded
Anne Arundel
Situation Brings
Matters to Head
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 24-Telegrams
and letters from all parts of the
State today flooded Gov. O'Conor's
Office commencing his advocacy of
legislative program to preserve
and protect roadside beauty in
Maryland.
Mrs. Harry P. Slack, president of
the Garden Clubs of Maryland, was
among the first to telegraph the
Governor approving his stand.
Gov. O'Conor said there was wide
spread sentiment for statutes regu-
lating signboards and the CONNER
cial use of land along State roads.
The question recently came to a
head in Anne Arundel County when
county commissioners found exist
ing laws impotent to prevent COM
mercial exploitation of property
along the new Gov. Ritchie high
way.
So long as prospective builders
comply with laws respecting public
health and safety, the county COM
missioners must issue building per-
mits. Permits have already been
issued for an open-air theater. a
truck depot-garage and two filling
stations along the new Ritchie road
and more are in prospect.
Circuit Judge Ridgely P. Melvin
this month charged the October
grand jury with the duty of inquir-
ing into the trend toward COM
liberalization" of land along high
ways, to determine if existing laws
are adequate and to suggest law
changes for legislative action if
present laws were held insufficient
to prevent DETACHMENT and CONNER
cialization of highways.

BY HENRY GEMMILL,

Young Bill Dorsey was in a whale
of hurry. How was he to know
he could count on 80 years of living?
His haste was so precipitate that
he abandoned school learning for
ever after just six weeks-he had
a mans work to do on a Nebraska
farm. And he had friends to make

by the time he was II and knew
Gen. Custer and Kit Carson before
he was 20.
Impatient Bill Dorsey drove a
prairie schooner from Nebraska to
Colorado when he was Is, and "lied''
his way into the Union Army before
his sixteenth birthday
He killed an Indian at an age

wondering if they can make their

But he insists it was different in
those roaring early days. He re-
members his first meeting with
William Cody, later famous as Buff
falo Bill but once his neighbor.
The meeting happened when he
was cutting brush at the fringe
of his fathers farm. He heard be-
hind him a sudden ''Kai yah! Kai
yah! Oopla! Oopla!" and turned to
see long-haired horseman gallop-
ing up. The sound and sight so
excited him that he gashed his leg
with his hatchet.

He hoisted young Bill Dorsey upon
his horse and carried him home
They became firm friends.
The Indian scout left Nebraska
at the outbreak of the Civil War.
Bill Dorsey didn't see him again
until the two met in a Denver gam

The youngster was there to join
the Army. He had tried to enlist at
home, but was refused as too young.
