United States Employees Compensa-
ton Commission, who had disallowed
the claim.
Attorneys Alvin L. Newmyer and

Medical Trial
Attorneys Told
oSpeed Case
Both Sides Warned
By Court Against
Immuteriul Issues
BY HAROLD b. ROGERS.

Justice James M. Proctor of Dis
trict Court today took steps to
speed up the antitrust trial of Or
ganized medicine. AS the case en-
tered the seventh week he warned
both sides they were taking up too
much time and should get on with
the testimony.
The jurist's statement came while
Prosecutor John Henry Levin was
cross-examining DR.. Rosco G. Le-
land, director of the Bureau of
Medical Economics of the American
Medical Association, one of the de-
PENDANTS.
Justice Proctor criticized Mr..
Levin for going into DR.. Leland's
correspondence with the Academy
of Medicine in Cincinnati, Ohio,
constituent body of the A. M. A.,
saying the crosS-examination had
veered off from the main question
of whether DR.. Leland had con-
spired with others to restrict the
activities of Group Health Associa-
ton here in violation of the Sher-
man Antitrust Act.
Prosecutor Differs.
Mr.. levin Insisted his cross-ex-
animation was material to the issue
of DR.. Leland's knowledge and his
alleged part in the conspiracy.
Warning the Government prose-
cutor to get back to the main issue
in the case, Justice Proctor said:
Both sides are taking entirely
too long on insignificant matters.
I want you both to realize as I did
long ago that it's time to get on with
this case"
Several times during the last six
weeks Justice Proctor has warned
counsel, first on one side, then the
other, to avoid delay. He has prom
1sed each, however, adequate time
for proper presentation of its case.
Last week the court expressed
anxiety" over the progress made.
Documents Produced.
DR.. Leland was on the stand most
of the day yesterday.
Another witness was DR.. Richard
H. Price. former G. H. A. director
who criticized G. H. A. and was
sharply cross-examined by Prose-
cutor Levin.
/ A number of documents were
/ brought to the court by Percy Brown
OF Boston, secretary of the Joint
Committee of the Twentieth Gen.
tury Fund and Good Will Fund. es-
| tablished by the late Edward A.
Filene. Prosecution counsel asked
to examine the documents, which
| included financial and annual re-
ports, so Mr.. Brown remained in the
city overnight. for possible cross
examination today.
| William E. Leahy, defense counsel
has charged that G. H. A. received
substantial financial support from
the Filene foundations, and has in
dicated he would attack G. H. A. on
that account. He has repeatedly de-
clared G. H. A. was financially unt
sound and could not exist on the in
come OF the prepayment fees
charged its members.
DR.. Leland, in his testimony, said
he conferred with A. M. A. and Dis
trict Medical Society officials about
G. H. A., but he insisted that he
never conspired with any others
with view to hindering or destroy
ing the medical cooperative. TIC
the contrary, he said he had de-
veloped a mass of information in
his bureau which was helping some
organizations set up prepayment
plan for medical care.

Safety Campaign
Gets Bad Start

The second Minnesota editors
"Save 100 Lives campaign, begun
October l, was off to a disastrous
start during that month with 50
killed, % as a result of driving over
the center line. The budget of al
lowable deaths had been set at so.
But for IA accidents attributed to
driving on the wrong side of the
road-that is over or partially over
the center line-the number of fatali-
ties would have been four under the
budget allowance-and % people
would have been alive today.
The next greatest factor in the toll
of human life was excessive speed.
Ten accidents for which speeding was
chiefly responsible, claimed 10 lives.
Five more persons died in five acci-
dents which resulted when drivers
disregarded stop signs or traffic sig
nails. Nine pedestrians were killed
when safety rules for safe walking
were ignored. General carelessness
claimed another Is lives during the
month in IL motor vehicle crashes.
Out of the SO persons fatally in
jured in the 81 days of October traf-
fic, there were only seven in which no
improper or illegal action on the part
of either pedestrian or driver was
definitely recorded.
