DC. Medical Society
Minutes Admitted
In Antitrust Trial
Justice Proctor Accepts
Evidence Over Strong
Protest of Defense
Earlier Story on Page A-1.l
Ry HAROLD II. ROGERS.

Justice James NJ. Proctor in Dis
trict Court this afternoon admitted
as evidence in the medical antitrust
case a mass of minutes of the Medi-
cal Society of the District. This
was done over the vigorous protest
of the defense counsel for organized
medicine.
The ruling, considered victory
for Government prosecutors, was
explained in full by Justice Proctor
with the reservation, however, that
defense counsel retained the right
to lodge objections to specific parts
of the minutes which might be sub
ject to the rules of evidence.
The ruling followedea heated con-
troversy this morning over admissi-
bility of the documents.
Following the ruling. John Henry
Levin, special assistant to the At
torney General, put Glenn I. Jones
formerly of the Army Medical Corps
on the witness stand.
Interrupted in Examination.
Interrupted in his direct examina-
ton of the witness by objections
from the defense, Mr.. Levin told
the court that he had brought the
witness to show he had been offered
the position of Group Health Asso-
citation, medical cooperative of Gov
eminent employees. but that they
took him away from it."
I'VE didn't take him away from
it," retorted William E. Leahy, coun-
sci for the defense.
Col. Jones. the prosecution counsel
charged, had been prevented from
accepting the post because of op-
position of those who are now de-
PENDANTS in the medical case. The
defendants, including the American
Medical Association, the Medical So
ciety of the District and 20 individ-
ual doctors. are charged with con-
spiracy and a boycott against G
H. A. in violation of the Sherman
Antitrust Act
Plan Was Drawn Up.
The witness testified that he be-
lieved the suggestion that he become
director of G. H. A. had come either
from Maj. Gen. Merritt E. w. Ire
land, former Surgeon General of the
Army, who then was DR.. Jones
superior, or by Raymond r. zim-
norman, personnel director of the
Home Owners Loan Corp.
DR. Jones, who said he now was
employed on salary as a surgeon
by the Southern Railway, testified
that he had been asked to draw up
a plan providing medical attention
to subscribers in the H. o. l.. c. on
the basis of insurance or prepay
ment plan. He testified his plans
never were used.

Quits in Stretch,

Juvenile Champion
Of 1910 Loses to
Shady Brook Poir

HIALEAH PARK, Fla, Feb. 18-
The Kentucky Derby stock of Whirl-
away took a distinct drop when
Warren Wright's colt went down to
the most ignominious defeat of his
brilliant career here this afternoon.
Closing at 80 cents on the dollar,
the top 2-year-old of 1910 finished a
soundly beaten third in the five
horse field that met in the 7-furlong
Arcadia Purse.
Agricole and Cadmium. both rep
resenting Theodore Mueller's Shady
Brook Farm, were the two that led
home the supposedly unbeatable
colt. Agricole lost ground, but still
managed to beat his stablemate by
a length and half. Cadmium
held three-length advantage over
Whirlaway. Maemante and Bolivar
were distant trailers.
The winning entry paid 1910 for
81. The time was 1895.
No Excuse for Champion.
Basil James, one of Americas
most accomplished riders, came on
from Santa Anita to fill his en-
gagements here on Whirlaway. The
latter, which had won his winter
debut with one of his typical stretch
rushes, did not come on in his ac-
customed manner today. He had
no apparent excuse in the running,
even breaking faster than usual.
He did not show his occasional
tendency to run out at the last turn.
Rather, it was the winner that raced
very wide turning for home, and
stayed we'll out to the end.
Maemante was the only starter
not in for the Flamingo Stakes.
Whirlaway's shocking defeat stunned
the big crowd and left his future
prospects somewhat in the dark.
Agricole, in his last start, was a
decisively beaten horse in Dispose's
Bahamas Handicap. Conn Nc
Creary rode the Kentucky owned
colt today, chalking up double in
the saddle.
Second at Top of Stretch.
Bolivar. which had shown good
form over the turf course here, set
the pace by daylight, followed by
Maemante for a quarter mile.
Agricole then set after the leader
and shot to the front around the
bend. never to be headed thereafter
despite taking the long way home.
Whirlaway, which had been run
ming fourth, in front of Cadmium,
made up ground in threatening
fashion and was second at the top
of the stretch. But Cadmium. cut
ting the last corner, easily outfin-
ished the Wright colorbearer for
the place despite James four or five
cracks of the whip on the favorite.

this, from the British angle, would
be public opinion in the United
States, which would overwhelmingly
oppose such unjustifiable action.
And the British would have another
war on their hands in Ireland, a
war which might have more seri-
GUS consequences than some people
think, as the experience of the Black
and Tan struggle, 1916-1920, demon
Strates.
Mr.. De Valera is a mathematical
idealist with a realistic approach.
He recognized that 5000, 900 people
could not resist a determined at
tack by one of the great powers. but
he reasoned also that if a consider
able military commitment would be
necessary to take possession OF the
green island, the gain might not be
considered worth the necessary ef-
fort. Therefore, he set about to in
crease his military forces, and de-
velopments have shown that his
estimation of the situation was a
sound one. 1t is bearing returns.
There is nothing secure about Irish
neutrality, but it is based on prac-
tical and realistic considerations and
therefore it may last longer than
some prophets think. But first and
last it is an Irish problem for Irish
solution.

German Planes Slip

Long Runee Guns Again
Pound Coast; One East
Anglican Town Bombed
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Feb. German raid
ers slipped through the fog over-
hanging the Dover Strait on a se-
ries Of Reconnaissance" raids today
while German long-range guns
again pounded the Dover coast from
the French shore.
Although Nazi planes we're re-
ported high over areas as far north
as Liverpool and the West Midlands,
bombs were dropped only on one
East Anglican town, where 10 per-
sons were injured.
Nazi shell-fire from heavy guns
mounted on railroad cars lasted
about three hours in the early morn
ing, but drew no answer from Brit
ish cannon. One British officer de-
scribed the bombardment as "just
bait for US to open fire and give
our positions away"
Need for u. S. BOmbers Stressed.
British air sources re-emphasl1ed
Britain's need for fast American
bombers if we are to continue long
range night bombing this spring
and summer"
AS nights gradually shorten. they
pointed out, the necessary hours OF
darkness for long flights over Ger
many grow fewer and bombing time
contracts.
1T is important for a bomber TO
be able to leave and return TO Eng
land in the dark which hides it
from NaZi fighters" one source said.
Some of our four-engined United
States bombers. like the Console
dated B-24, which we call the Lib
orator could bomb targets 300 miles
away even on June nights and, if
necessary, make Shuttle trips to
targets nearer home"
Furious Air War Predicted.
The need for fast bombers was
raised again as reliable sources pre-
dicted aerial warfare this spring of
greater fury than anything the world
has known before.
Once the weather-enforced huh
ends, it was said, Germany will 90
all out with her air power because
she must bring England to her
knees in l941 if she is going to win"
Britain, however, was said to be
accommodating air power with the
accelerating aid of America and will
