Medical Association
IExhorted 10 Defend
Policy Against Critics
Retiring President Says
Attackers Thoughts Seem
Influenced by Moscow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, June 2.-The Amer
lean Medical Association today was
exhorted to defend its policies
against destructive criticism by au-
thors whose mental processes seem
to have been influenced by Moscow
or Berlin"
Retiring President Nathan B. Van
Etten of New York accused certain
special interest groups" of attack
ing A. M A. as "a selfish, reaction
ary, anti-social, restraining influ-
ence, opposing activities of those
desiring to practice group medicine" :"
The old idle talk about a small
group of persons debating the policy
of the American Medical Association
still goes on" he declared before
the A. M. A. House of Delegates at
the opening of the associations 92d
annual meeting.
Called "Triumvirate of Dictators."
He reported three A. M. A. exec
utives have been called a "trium-
virate of dictators," and identified
the three as DR.. Olin West, treas
urer; DR.. Morris Fishbbein, editor,
and DR.. Will C. Braun, business
manager of the A. M. A. Journal.
Il have never heard or seen any
of them attempt to originate any
policy" he commented.
A survey showing 95 per cent of
the Nations physicians willing to
support military service was cited
as evidence of the associations in
tegrity.
The associations controversial
policy of free choice of physician"
was reported to have stood the test
of seven turbulent years.
Freedom of Choice.
Some self-esteemed persons" DR..
Van Etten said, have admitted
that freedom to choose doctor was
quite right for themselves as they
carried their arthritis to Phila-
delphia or Boston, their surgery to
outstanding operators and their
best ophthalmologoistS.
Their denial of the value of free
choice applies only to other less
fortunate people. Mass medicine is
wonderful for everybody except
themselves. They would prescribe,
but cannot swallow their own medi-
cine"
The House of Delegates was called
upon to fight for establishment of
national health department to
be headed by an officer of cabinet
rank,

j. ). Bomber Patrol
Across Atlantic
Proposed by Jouett
Would Help Solve Convoy
Problem, Wushinetonion
Tells Air Porley
By the Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June IA
spokesman for the American air
craft industry today proposed that
long range, four-engine bombers
dep1oyed across the Atlantic on an.
air highway 200 miles wide "can
help to solve the convoy problem"
In an address before the annual
convention of the National Aero
nautic Association John H. Jouett-
of Washington, president of the
Aeronautical Chamber of Com
merce, said:
"ser.t out from bases on this side
of the Atlantic, departing on some
thing like every-hour- -on-the-hour
schedules, they can carry enough
heavy bombs to sink large ships.
They can patrol zig-Zag course
over a convoy route, say 200 miles
wide, all the way to England with
a fair chance of spotting and de-
stroying surface or subsurface raid
ers that might be lurking within
striking distance of the supply ships
in a convoy"
Whether official Washington or
the British government actually
contemplated any such move, Mr..
Jouett did not say, but he empha-
sized that the current productions
objective of the Roosevelt admin
istration was 500 heavy bombers a
month. :
Research Outlined. e
Mr.. Jouett said American air re-
search engineers were working
toward: >
Making airplanes faster by shoot-ss
ing engine exhaust gases through
jets to obtain a rocket propulsion" =
effect.
Increasing propeller efficiency by
installing counter-rotating propel-ss
lers which would obviate the ems
| CINE torque effect common to alls
planes. Experiments on that haves
been in progress at the Army Airs
Corps laboratory at Wright Field,ss
Dayton, Ohio. .
Equipping American pursuit planess
with five times" as many cannon
as they now carry. One Standard
pursuit plane manufactured in the
United States carries single can
non, another manufactured for the
British, two.
Mr.. Jouett asserted that the Ger
mans, now stopping production to
retool on new models of bombers and
fighters, "are nowhere near up to b
their potential production capacity"
OF the aircraft factory labor
situation, he forecast the employ
ment of a half million persons in
the next few months.
1000 Leaders on Hand.
His address opened four days Of
discussion by more than 1000 leaders
in American aviation. Coupled with
the convention was the fourth an
nual national aviation forum" de-
signed to thresh out problems of
military, commercial and private
| flying.
Roger Wolfe Kahn of New York.
wealthy sportsman pilot and oc-
casional test pilot, told the conven-
ton in another paper that the
United States armed services were
not making proper use Of the huge
army of Government-traine private

Kennedy Makes Plea
For Loyalty 10 u. s.;
Backs Free Speech
Father Sheen Delivers
Bucculuureute Sermon
At Notre Dame
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tuC hbeOIlkbCu Eitoss
SOUTH BEND, Ind, June 2-In
the Nations unlimited national
emergency, the duty of Americans
is to pledge devotion to their coun-
try, but at the same time they
can maintain in all respects their
constitutional rights Of free speech,
free assembly and freedom of wor-
ship, Joseph P. Kennedy said yes
terday.
Speaking at commencement exer-
cises at Notre Dame University, the
former Ambassador to Great Britain
asserted that ''in exercising that
freedom of speech, which includes
the right to criticize, we must each
one of us try to approximate a
formula of which conscienCe and
patriotism must be the monitors"
He added:
"As best ! can express it, the
formula is: No criticism or COM
plant that primarily gives aid, COM
fort or information to the enemy,
actual or potential; only criticism or
complaint when, by the standard of
judgment or experience or both, the
actions or inactions of Government
are imperiling the success of its
defense.
Historic PrOnouncement.
President Roosevelt's proclama-
ton of an unlimited national
emergency was described by Mr..
Kennedy as most historic and
most solemn pronouncement," and
that "the duty of every American
is plain. We pledge allegiance to
our flag and to the republic for
which 1t stands"
Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen of the
Catholic University faculty, giving
the commencement baccalaureate
sermon, declared that sit is not
America as 1t is that ought to be
saved, but America as it ought to be. "
For in these days of disintegra-
ton cultures there is much in our
Western civilization that does not
deserve to survive" he added.
Monopolistic Capitalism Hit.
"A monopolistic capitalism, as de-
fined by the papal encyclicals, which
freezes credit, concentrates wealth
in the hands of the few, excludes
labor from share in the profits
and considers the right to property
as so absolute as to be unbounded
by its use" he went on, sis not
worth preserving.
An economic system which under
the cloak of organizing labor per-
mits subversive groups and rack
eteers to infiltrate into its ranks
either to serve foreign political
ends or to enrich the pockets of
leaders by filching from the workers
their hard earned wages is not worth
preserving.
"A system of education which ig-
nores. sometimes repudiates, reli-
gion and morality is not worth pre-
serving"

Wearing of Poppy Will
Aid National Defense

Wearing of a memorial poppy
on the coat on Poppy Day, Sat
urday, May "a, might seem to
have no connection with national
defense, but to Mrs. John King,
national defense chairman of
Newark Unit Post 85, of the

spirit of the poppy is important
to the security of America.
"More important even than
airplanes, tanks and guns is the
patriotic spirit of the nation,"
she said, while helping the Aux
iliary prepare for the observance
of Poppy Day. "The British
army lost all of it's equipment at
Dunquerk but England has not

invaders, vastly superior in
equipment. What is inside the
heart of a soldier counts more
than the type of gun in his.

wear on Saturday in tribute to
the men who gave their lives for
America twenty-three years ago,
