Doctors Lose Court
Move 10 Question
Grand Jurors
Inspection Of Transcript
Also Refused by
Justice Proctor

Organized medicine lost another
preliminary skirmish in its court
battle against an antitrust indict-
ment today, when Justice James M.
Proctor in District Court denied the
motion of defendants for interroga-
ton of the grand jury and inspec-
ton of the official jury transcript.
In his decision Justice Proctor
sustained the Governments posi-
ton, as outlined by the Department
of Justices special prosecutors. The
jurist held the oath taken by the
grand jurors "is not limited by
time and circumstance" and lis a
lasting obligation binding all who
have served as grand jurors
Counsel for the defendants had
told the court they should be given
the right to question the jurors, and
inspect the record, in preparation
for filing a plea in abatement to
"vitiate' the indictment.
Next Move Not Disclosed.
The four groups of organized
medicine and 81 doctor defendants
joined together in the defense.
What their next move would be
was not disclosed today.
Justice Proctor, in refusing to
lift the veil of secrecy around the
grand jury, said neither indictment,
arrest of the accused nor expiration
of the jury term will operate to re-
lease a juror from the oath of
secrecy, as the defendants here con-
tend. That can only be done by a
court action in given case, when in
its judgment the ends of justice so
require In keeping with custom,
instructions to this effect were given
the former grand jurors and they
were admonished to strictly OBJ
serve the same. I am confident
those instructions conform to the
ancient and traditional concept of
a grand jurors obligation"
The allegations of the American
Medical Association and the other
defendants, said Justice Proctor, are
made only on information and
belief, are vague and uncertain
mere statements of conclusions,
wholly lacking in factual details
Pre-Trial Information.
To hold otherwise, he said, would
enable an accused to get the Gov
ernment's case against him in ad-
vance of trial; to divert and turn
back the course of criminal case
from trial of himself to trial OF
the grand jury and the prosecuting
officers"
Summing up his opinion, Justice
Proctor asserted: Il am satisfied no
proper grounds have been laid in
support of defendants motion. To
grant it would do violence to salu-
tary rules strongly rooted in our
jurisprudence which, without sac
rificing any of the fundamental
safeguards, look to the speedy and
practical administration of criminal
justice with due regard to the just
rights of society,"
The defendants had lost a pre-
vious preliminary move in court
when Justice Proctor refused to
uuash a second subpoena served on
the American Medical Association
for its records. He had previously
ordered quashed part of the first
subpoena. The A. M. A. District
Medical Society, two other bodies of
organized medicine and 81 doctors
were indicted for alleged antitrust
practices against Group Health As

| Mrs. Roosevelt Calls
Frequent Playing
OF Anthem Unwise

Mrs. Roosevelt thinks it's a
mistake to play the Star
Spangled Banner" regularly in
movie houses, although she ap-
proves the patriotic spirit that
prompted the idea.
She explained to her press
conference today that when the
national anthem is played too
often. people get bored with it
and fail to realize what it SYM
boliZes.
The anthem should only be
played on certain occasions, she
asserted, when it represents
high moments that have GER
tain meaning.

Fidelity Investment
Receivership Petition

Special Masters Report
Confirmed; Exception
On 'VoIue' Overruled
BY the Associated Press.

DS INK hSsotLnheA AsS~'
WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 81
Confirming a special masters report,
Federal Judge William E. Baker to-
day dismissed receivership proceed
ings against the Fidelity Investment
Association.
The special masters 56-page re-
port last Thursday declared Fidelity,
a Nation wide investment loan firm,
was solvent and recommended dis
missal of receivership petition filed
by nine Pennsylvania purchasers Of
the associations investment con-
tracts
In upholding the report Judge
Baker overruled an exception by
Edward Lamb, attorney for a Toledo,
Ohio, contract holder who intervened
in the case Lamb had objected to
the report because the solvency was
determined by the sound value"
rather than the market value" of
the associations securities.
In Accord on Report.
Il found consolation said Judge
Baker. in the fact that representa-
tives of the insurance departments
of Virginia, Ohio and Indiana ana
the State auditor of West Virginia
informed me in open court that they
were thoroughly in accord with the
report"
Attorney Seymour NJ Heilbron Of
New York, counsel for the receiver
ship petitioners. had co-operated in
preparing the report and asserted it
showed the association was not, only
solvent, but well managed"
Filed A Days Ago.
The receivership petition was filed
A days ago after the Federal Sc
curities commission had obtained an
injunction prohibiting the associa-
ton from certain practices which
the S. E. C. contended were fraudu-
lent.
The petitioners charged the asso-
citation ''recklessly, carelessly and
wrongfully" managed its accounts.
Fidelity counsel denied the charges
and declared the action was un-
warranted because the value Of the
receivership petitioners contract
was only $4,000
Judge Baker, acting upon sugges-
tions of opposing counsel named
the special master as an arbiter to
investigate the firms finances.

agreement.
The British h-Italian agreement
provided, among other things, for
maintenance of the status quo in
the Mediterranean, where lie parts
of the rFench colonial empire to
which Italians recently have laid
claim.
Chamberlain told the House. of
Commons of his January lila visit
to Rome and declared the Spanish
civil war was the chief barrier be-
tween France and Italy. He said he
saw no prospect of an agreement
between them until the war ended.
The Prime Minister also said
Mussolini had told him he had
nothing to ask of Spain after the
war.
Praises Hitler's Speech.
Addressing the House, which re-
sumed sessions today after a five
week year-end recess Chamberlain
launched Immediately into praise of
Hitler's speech to the Reichstag
yesterday.
The Prime Minister publicly well
coined the pacific passages of Hit
ler's speech during question hour
in the House of Commons before
opening of debate on Spain and
foreign policy generally.
Chamberlain said, however, that
no negotiations between Britain and
Germany were contemplated at this
time.
Il welcome the passages in Herr
Hitlers speech yesterday regarding
his desire for mutual confidence
and cooperation between our two
peoples.
Il should like to take this oppor-
tunity to repeat that these senti-
ments are fully shared by the gov
eminent and people of this coun-

the welcomes extended to him and

Though we are unable to re-
port that we britain and italy,
were in agreement on all points,
ye did achieve our purpose, since

"Signor MuSsolini first and fore
most made it clear that the policy
of Italy was one of peace and that

of it if, at any time, the necessity
arose"
ITALY" Chamberlain said, de
sired peace from every point of
view and not least for the general
stability of Europe
"Our hosts also made it clear
that the Rome Berlin axis was an
essential point of Italian foreign
policy.
This did not imply that it was
impossible for Italy to have the
most friendly relations with Great
Britain and with other powers when
circumstances were favorable"

in a willingness, let us say, to
enter into arrangements if not
