Scouter, who gave the main adj
dress of the evening as summing
up the evidence" in support of
Scouting.
eff Scouting is on trial." Mead
er said, "there must be a charge
that Scouting is a failure. If that
is true, it is the fastest growing
failure ever known to man. There
has been a net increase of more
than 900 scouts in America
during the past year.
Meader reviewed economic
conditions and declared that the
boy going into the world market
in search of employment faced a
difficult task because he had to
compete with millions of unem-
ployed and stepped into a stand
ard of living in which he is re-
quired to have more with less in
come than was the case few
years ago.
"The employer considers his
help as merchandise, Meader de-
clared, "and he wants quality
merchandise. He knows that boy
who has been a Scout is well
trained to work with others, that
he is trained to be self reliant,
display initiative and to follow
through on everything he under
takes.
"In Scouting we have the pro-
gram that will create the type of
help that the employer wants and
it is our duty as adult citizens to
give the boy the opportunity to
develop into the best type of man.
hood of which he is capable. We
must expand our program to
serve more boys. If we build the
boy right, the world will come out
all right"
Closing the program, Tom
Pfaender, veteran New Ulm
Scoutmaster, presented group of
Cubs, Scouts and Senior Scouts
and conducted closing ceremony.
Richard Cook, chairman of the
Scout organization in Redwood

Antitrust Medical
Case Verdict Seen
Some Time Away
Justice Proctor Gives
Counsel Two Weeks
For Additional Dutu

Next decision in the antitrust
medical case probably will be weeks
in the future, it was indicated to-
day as counsel for both the de-
fense and the prosecution began
preparation of briefs and memo
randa for the consideration of JUS
tice James M. Proctor in District
Court over the latest issue, a de-
murrer by the defendants to the
indictment charging restraint of
trade.
Justice Proctor at the close Of
three days hearings yesterday gave
counsel two weeks to prepare addi-
tional papers on the case. Further
more, he indicated he wanted some
time for himself to formulate my
views definitely"
Thus it appeared that a decision
on the demurrer might be some
weeks away. The jurist showed
earnest interest in the issues in
volved, and during the hearings
asked questions of counsel on both
sides.
Sharp Interchange.
Justice Proctor with one of his
questions prompted one Of the
sharpest and quickest interchanges
between counsel, late in the hearing,
over the question of whether hospi-
tails could be considered as engaged
in trade"
The Government prosecution had
charged the organized medical pro-
fession with combination and con-
spiracy in restraint of trade and
violation of the Sherman Anti Trust
Act. through a coercive boycott
against Group Health Association,
its doctors and IL Washington hos
pitals.
On the other hand the defendants.
who include four organizations of
doctors and 81 physicians and
surgeons, had stoutly contended the
Sherman act did not apply to either
the practice of medicine, a learned
profession or to the hospitals.
Interrupted by Jurist.
William E. Leahy, counsel for the
defense. was summarizing when he
declared: First, the medical pro-
fession is not in trade. G. H. A. is
not in trade. None of the doctors Is
in trade. The hospitals are not en-
gagged in anything"
Here he was interrupted by the
jurist.
Assume" said Justice Proctor,
'that a hospital is our understanding
of what we know it to be-furnish-
ing service and facilities to patients.
Do you think that distinguishes it
from doctors who go there and treat
patients?
Assume the doctor Is not in
trade continued Justice Proctor, 'is
hospital in trade which is ffrnish-
ing services?"
mo. your honor" quickly re-
sponded Mr.. Leahy.
Il say 'yes!" interjected John
Henry Levin Of the Governments
prosecution counsel.
Il say no." retorted Mr.. Leahy.

Fire MarshaI's S Ru|inq
Bans Meetings in
School Corridors
Decision to Affect
Civic Organizations
And PIT. A. Units

A number Of parent teacher asso-
Citations and civic groups may have
to hold their meetings elsewhere as
the result of ruling by the fire
marshal that corridors Of school
buildings may not be used for as
sembly purposes, 1t was. revealed
yesterday.
The decision, Supt. Frank w. Bal
lou told the Board of Education, is
"far-reaching in its effects in that it
prohibits assemblies and meetings
of all kinds now held in the entrance
halls or foyers of practically every
eight-room school in the city" A
check-up revealed there are more
than 60 Of these buildings.
The ruling was given in the case
of the Stoddert School. The fire
marshal said use of the first floor
corridor of the school or any other
similar building is violation of
police regulations, the building code
and the Fire Escape Act. Placing
movable chairs or seats in the halls.
he said, constitutes the violation of
the building code.
DR.. Ballou pointed out that
PIT. AS and other groups would be
affected. He said smaller groups
might still hold sessions in class
rooms but these are not of sufficient
size for larger gatherings. He plans
to notify the school officers and units
concerned of the ruling through
official circular.
Board rules provide that school
building of 16 rooms or more should
have assembly halls but there are
still many that do not. Several such
structures are acquiring the assembly
space under p. w. A. projects ap-
proved last summer.
