saying.
The minutes said he pointed out
that the musicians union had sue
ceeded in barring the Marine Band
from interfering with their field by
playing at certain public functions
and that lawyers, as group, have
prevented inroads on their business.
rs just doesn't seem that we are
active in preventing the National

tice of medicine and interfering with
our business" the minutes quoted
him further.
Law Conformity Probe Asked.
At a later meeting the Executive
Committee asked that the Board
of Supervisors" by judicial decision
find out whether G. H. A. was in
conformity with the Healing Arts
Practice Act of the District of Co.
lumbia.
A series of letters exchanged be-

tween officials Of the A. M. A. in
Chicago and persons in the District
of Columbia, including doctors Of
the Medical Society and a John F.
Hayes concerning the early activ-
tiles of G. H. A, were read to the
jury. Shortly before noon Mr.. Lewis
began reading long article by DR..
w. C. Woodward, head of the Bu-
reau of Legislation and Legal Med
icine of the A. M. A, which ap-
peared in the journal of the A. M. A.
october 2, 1887. In this article, G..
H. A. was sharply criticized and it
was said, among other things, that
"in any event medical service under
the &C. H. A. association would be
likely to be handicapped by diff
Guilty likely to be experienced in OBJ
tanning the best conSultant service
and hospital accommodations. Ply
sicianS who sell their services to an
organization like G. H. A. for resale
to patients are certain to lose pro-
fessional status"
At another time the Executive
Committee of the society recognized
a growing desire in Washington for
some feasible plan for cooperative
group medical service on a pre-
payment basis" and pointed out
that, having already provided a
means in the Health Security Ad-
ministration for people without
ready money to secure medical
service on a post payment plan" :"
the committee declared: TT is will
ing to collaborate with appropriate
responsible groups to devise meth
odS for group prepaid medical serv-
ice mutually acceptable to the two
essential parties to such an agree
ment, namely, the group needing
and proposing to pay for the service
and the group capable of furnishing
it."
Further Evidence Read.
Evidence read to the jury yester-
day disclosed not only discussions
and conversations Of defendant doc
tors of the American Medical Asso-
citation and the District Medical
Society, but also official actions
taken by these organizations, and
proposed plans for further actions
against Group Health Association.
DR.. William c. Woodward of Chi
cago, former head of the Bureau
of Legal Medicine and Legislation
of the A M. A., came to Washing
ton and advised against going
along" with G. H. A. in any man
ner, as it would be a violation of
the principles" of the A. M. A. He
later proposed court proceedings,
the record showed.
The Board of Trustees of the A.
M. A. in June, 1887, according to
their records, officially authorized
DR.. Morris Fishbein, editor of the
A. M. A. Journal, and DR.. Olin
West, general manager of the A.
M. A, to notify the whole medical
profession of the United States that
Group Health Association here was
entering the practice of medicine.
# was under this authority that
DR.. Woodward came to Washington

WASHINGTON, March 10.-An
immediate Senate investigation OF
strikes, bottlenecks, contracts and
profits of the defense program
was outlined today by Senator

wake of Senate passage of the
lease-lend bill.
Emphasizing the necessity OF
the investigation in anticipation OF
final congressional approval of the
aid-to-Britain bill, Truman, chair
man of the special Senate commits
tee to conduct thep robe, said the
group would meet tomorrow or
Wednesday to organize.
William S. Knudsen. director
general, and Sidney Hillman. as

to appear before the committee,

Seeking first hand information
about the labor situation in
France prior to that country's coli

The committee has under con-

seeking to regulate strikes and

Bullitt, who was in Paris at the

he would urge President Roosevelt
to GUST all Communists and Nazis

Meanwhile, the problem OF

TWO ARGUMENTS RAGE
Two main controversies in the
OPM are:
1-Should strike settlement
proposals Of defense officials be
made public before formal rati-
fication by the con en- ding
parties?
2-Should there be some kind
of federal legislation regulating
strikes in defense industries?
AGREE ON BOARD
The factions on these questions
were. defined roughly as those
who say social gains must not be
sacrificed" and those who declare
speed of production in the crisis
is everything"
Both agree, and are backed by
President Roosevelt, that there
should be some sort of top federal
mediation board set up to handle
defense strikes. Undercover con-
