Hitler Aide Takes Power
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PRAGUE, March 15.-Gen. Jo-
hannes BlaskoWitz, commander of
group three of the German Army,
proclaimed to the people of Bohemia
today that he had taken the exec
utive power into his hands on orders
from Chancellor Hitler.
Gen. Blaskowitz appointed the
Sudeten NaZi leader Konrad Henlein
as chief of the civil administration
of Bohemia
Henlein, instrumental in bringing
about the German annexation of
Sudetenland last October, asked the
whole Bohemian administrative ma
chinery-police, postal, railway and
state affairS-to continue its work.
German troops of occupation were
Missed and cheered as they moved
into positions of control in Prague.
Cheers of German welcomers were
interSpersed with the kissing NJ
Czech patriots and cries of "Pfui,
Pfui, go back home!" Some patriots
sang the Czech national anthem
Two persons were reported struck
by German military automobiles
There were no serious disorders,
however.
Huge crowds were massed along
the central streets of Prague as the
troops, in four groups, moved in. At
times the ui's"-continental YER
sion Of the Bronx cheer-were so
loud that they could be heard blocks
away. The crowds grew more de-
monstrative as the troops increased
in number.
Anthem browns Out Noise.
At one point along the route the
strains of the national anthem rose
above the noisy exhaust of the
mechanical equipment bearing the
Germans into Prague.
Here and there the troops were
encouraged by cries from German
groups wearing swastika armbands
Before the ancient Rathaus (Citv
Council Building) a large German
delegation had gathered, bearing a
sWastika banner of heroic size which
the Nazi like to hang from their
public buildings. But it was the only
one in sight.
No flags of any sort decorated the
houses or streets. Some street cars
flew various flags, but they were
the Czech colors, such as would be
flown on a national holiday.
1t was the most ifeless and color
less reception that Reichsfuehrer
Hitler's troops had received since
the Fuehrer started his expansion
program.
Contrast in Welcomes.
The contrast between todays re-
ception and the flowers and kisses
with which Nazi troops were well
coined when they occupied Sude-
tenland last October was most strik-
ing.
The crowds were moody. When
open disapproval or approval-as in
the case of the Germans-was not
being freely displayed the people
were grimly silent.
Armored cars, transport trucks,
small cars with light machine guns,
mess kitchens and motor cycle field
police formed the bulk of the parade

Doctors Claim Same
Right as Labor Has
To Call Strikes
Will File Demurrer
Defending Efforts
To Hold Patronage

Defendants in the medical anti
trust case plan to file demurrer in
District Court within the next week
or 10 days contending that doctors
have as much right under the law
to take the actions of which they
are accused, as pickets have to strike
against 13 Washington hotels.
This was disclosed today by Seth
Richardson, counsel for the Ameri-
can Medical Association. The labor
angle will be brought definitely into
the case, Mr.. Richardson empha-
sized, because under the law, it will
be claimed that the medical pro-
fession has done no more in its way
to get the public to patronize doctors
of the organized medical profession,
than the organized unions have done
in attempting to get the hotels to
employ only members of their union
Protected under Law.
Organized labor is protected under
the law in its right to strike and
picket, Mr.. Richardson said, in
order to protect itself, and the Gov
ernment has not taken action
against labor under the Sherman
antitrust law.
Contending that the medical pro-
fession is not in business nor is it
a trade under the meaning of the
Sherman Act, the demurrer soon to
be filed in court will contend that
the same general rule should be ap-
piled to the doctors as to the labor
unions. The labor unions have a
right to go to the employing public,
Mr.. Richardson explained, in an eff
fort to get the employing public to
employ only their members. The
doctors should be accorded the same
right, he holds.
Argument Date to Be Set.
A date will be set for argument of
the case before Justice James M.
Proctor. This, it is hoped, will be
within the next few weeks.
The demurrer follows the de-
PENDANTS plea in abatement, which
yesterday was dismissed by Justice
Proctor. In dismissing the plea
Justice Proctor in effect sustained
the validity of the Federal grand
jury indictment against 4 med
ical organizations and 81 prominent
physicians here and in Chicago.
In brief memorandum opinion,
Justice Proctor sustained the posi-
ton taken by Department of Justice
attorneys and upheld their motion
to dismiss the plea in abatement,
under which the validity of the in
dictment was attacked by counsel
for the medical organizations and
the doctors.
Justice Proctor's Opinion.
Justice Proctor said In his opin-
ion:
"All the questions now brought
forth by the plea in abatement have
been raised in previous proceedings
initiated by the defendants, and
these have all been passed upon by
the court. In reviewing these mat
ters, 1t appears that my previous
rulings may be applied in their SUBJ
stance to the questions as now pre-
sented, and, as reconsideration has
not changed my views. the demurrer
and motion to dismiss the plea in
abatement will be sustained. It is SO
ordered"
The defendants IN their demurrer
Will deny that the organized doctors
interfered with physicians, with the
business of Group Health Associa-
ton, or with the hospitals, because
none of these three is engaged in
trade, under the meaning of the
Sherman Antitrust Act.

Is to raise" Mr.. Harrison said.
By the Associated Press.
Speaker Bankhead said today the
House Ways and Means Committee
probably would consider some tax
law notifications at this session
and may recommend some" to Con-
greSs.
He volunteered the statement at
his press conference 80 my posi-
ton may be amplified and fully
understood"
Yesterday he said he felt justified
in asserting that no tax revisions
would be proposed at this session
and that there was no program for
removing what have been described
as tax deterrents to business.
II may have left the impression
that there would be no changes in
any existing tax laws" he said today.
What I intended to convey was that
no laws would be passed that would
result in reduction of present rev.
enue."
He added that he believed the only
way deterrents could be removed
would be by increasing general cor
poration taxes to compensate for lost
revenue, and that he feared that
action would bring protests from the
10000 small corporations.
Sentiment for Changes.
In the wake of President Roose-
velt's statement that the adminls-
tration was considering an over
haul of corporation taxes, powerful
Senate sentiment developed mean
while for prompt action as an aid to
business.
The Chief Executive, discussing tax
questions at his press conference late
yesterday. said consolidation of five
existing business levies was being
studied. But he added that any re-
vision must maintain Federal reve-
nue. at their present level.
Amid consideration of the tax
problem the administration was
confronted with another request for
encouragement of business when 16
stock exchanges recommended that
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission order sweeping notifications
Of its regulations.

Fear That Hitler Planning Another Coup

UNDATED, June 29 (P)-Brit- ain, informed quarters said, sent proposals to Moscow for the in- clusion of the Baltic States, Bel gum, Holland, and Switzerland in the proposed Anglo-French- Russian mutual assistance pact.
