Counsel for Convicted
Medical Groups Drafts
Suitable Motions
Richardson Replies
To Premature
Admonitions' of Arnold

Suitable motions are being pre-
pared to be filed today or tomorrow
In District Court on behalf of the
American Medical Association and
the District Medical Society, which
were found guilty Friday night of
violating the Sherman Antitrust
Act, through a boycott against
Group Health Association.
This was announced today by
Seth w. Richardson, of defense
counsel, who predicted that pre-
sumably the court will speedily rule
concerning them
The exact nature Of the motions
was not disclosed. but 1t was learned
that there will be more than one,
and that all will be designed ito
protect the interests of the last two
defendants left in the case"
Mr.. Richardson pointed out that
the antitrust medical case started
out with 25 defendants, but that this
number now has been reduced TO
two. One of the individual defend
ants, a doctor, died; two corporate
defendants and two more individual
doctor defendants were freed by a
directed verdict of acquittal earlier
in the trial, and last Friday night
a jury verdict acquitted the remain
ing 18 doctors. At the same time
the two remaining corporations, the
A. M A. and D. M. S., were found
guilty.
Mr.. Richardson took exception to
recent statement by Thurman
Arnold, Assistant Attorney General,
who inStigated the antitrust case.
Mr.. Arnold had said, I'VE hope the
verdict will terminate once and for
all the attempt of organized medi-
cine to prevent group health activi-
ties throughout the country"
In reply to this Mr. Richardson
said: L think every one would
feel relieved if the defendants, all
counsel, the medical profession and
the public might be spared further
premature public admonitions from
Mr.. Arnold concerning alleged acts
which the defendants never COM
mitted, are not now committing, and
do not intend to commit in the fu-
ture. But maybe Mr. Arnold should
free his mind before the list of de-
PENDANTS shrinks to the vanishing
; point and Othello finds his occu-
patton gone"

Cause of Miller Fire
Difficult to Determine

District Fire Marshal Calvin G.
LAUDER indicated today that sev-
eral weeks may elapse before a
definite conclusion is reached, if
ever, regarding the cause of the
fire which damaged the William E.
Miller Furniture Co. Building at
Eighth and D streets Sc. Saturday.
He said it is apparent that the
blaze started on the third floor, but
that physical evidence of its cause
apparently had been destroyed. In
continuing his investigation he plans
to talk with employees who were
working in that part of the building
at the time.

Miss Alice Paul Asks
Peace Voice for Women

Expressing hope that women
might have a voice in setting peace
terms, Miss Alice Paul, militant
leader of the World Woman's Party,
yesterday attached partial blame
for the present war to the fact
that women were not sufficiently
represented in the high Offices Of
European governments.

Facing Member Loss,
G'C.S. Plans Drive

Although there is no indication
as to just when the new families
will start moving in, the member
ship committee of Greenbelt
Consumer Services is rapidly lay
ing the groundwork for an ex-
tensive share drive. An effort will
be made to interest the new
comers in the cooperative, there
by gaining new members as we'll
as increasing the organizations
share capital.
Faced with the present loss of
membership due to transfers of
employment, in addition to the
prospect of losing an estimated
large number of members be-
cause of the recently announced
income restrictions, G. C. S.
board members are considering
any plans which are likely to in
duce present residents and new
comlsrs alike to join the coopera-
tive and members to purchase ad-
dltl6lnal shares.
What is needed Immediately,
stated a spokesman for G. C. S.
are hostesses living near the new
houses who will aid the commit
tee by sponsoring group meetings
for the newcomers. Refreshments
for these gatherings will be fur
nished. The co-op's story will be
told by discussion leaders and
prospective members may SUBJ
scribe for their shares at the
meetings.
6 Another 1000 families in the
community means that Greenbelt
Consumer Services must expand
some of it's services to provide
for the needs Of these residents.
In order to expand it will be nee
essary to raise additional share
capital with which to install a
new food store and another serv-
ice station and to enlarge the
drug store. facilities.
The board recently went on
record as favoring and recon-
mending 5 per cent dividend on
capital stock unless unusual con-
ditions arise. This, the directors
feel, will provide considerable in
centive for people to invest
money in the cooperative. They
not only will have a share in the
profits, but will have voice in
the affairs of the organization.

House Mail Delivery,
Income Rule, Topics
As G. CA. Meets Mon.

The possibility of Greenbelt
having house-to-house delivery of
mail is one of the items on the
agenda of the Citizens Associa-
tion meeting Monday at 8 p. m.
in the school auditorium. The
special committee working on the
petitions for mail service which
will be dispatched to the Post
Office Department, will report on
the progress. of the petitioning
and general outlook of the situ-
alton.
Harry Hyman, chairman Of the
GCA's Committee to Investigate
the Affect of the Maximum In
come Regulations, will discuss
the contents of the survey forms
drawn up by his group and report
on the state of the Census"
Further discussion of the in
come regulations will undoubted-
ly be the focus point of the eve
ming, and President Chasanow
expects a good attendance in
view of the fact that the decree
in question will eventually affect
every resident in Greenbelt.

1t was suggested early in the
m e e ting by Director Ber-
nard Jones and Association men,
Der Allan Arness that the resig-
nations be accepted conditionally,
pending the appointments Of
successor. or successors so as not
to leave the community depen-
dent for medical attention upon
DIR. Joseph Silagy alone. Board
member East, on the other hand,
pointed out that the group was not
informed as to whether the Doc
tors Richardson had other immedi-
ate commitments to fulfill which
they could not handle were they
required to remain on duty here
for an indefinite period. The
probability of DR.. Mary Richard
son securing a more permanent
post at the University of Mary
land was brought out also at this
juncture.
After considerable discussion
of the designations on the part of
the board and the medical direc-
tor, they were accepted as pre-
sented to the board. Thereby, as
of week from next Monday, un-
less the Associations board of
directors and the medical direc-
tor provide another physician to
serve the community, Green
belters must depend solely on DIR.
Silagy for their well-being, if they
desire medical attention from
within the town. 1t was mention
ed that temporary assistance may
be Forthcoming from DIR. Winick,
who, as numerous citizens may
recall, lent his aid temporarily
once before when Doctors Beren-
berg and Still left the staff.
These questions were ruled
out of order owing to the specific
nature of the business to be
handled at this special meeting,
and Chairman Creggar stated
that discussion on these points
would be handled at the regular
board meeting on Wednesday of
this week if brought up again at
that time. Director East promised
that they would be raised at the
Wednesday meeting.

New Homes Ready
For Dec. Tenancy;
Eligibles Listed

One hundred and fifty-two. of
the 1000 homes to be built in
Greenbelt, are in the final stages
Of construction, and are being in
spected prior to acceptance by
Farm Security Administration.
Because of the lack of detailed
information as to when the build
in2s will be accepted, and there
fore actually ready for occupancy,
less than one hundred applications
nave been received to date. How
ever, according to Miss Helen
Raymond of the tenant selection
staff, this is not a true indication
OF interest, as many of the sour
ces of eligible applicants have not
made a complete survey TO ascer-
tain the number who may apply.
Correcting the impression gath
cred in some quarters that appli-
tons will be accepted from the
Navy Yard only, Miss Raymond
advised that employees of 13
Army and Navy establishments
may apply. These include: The
Naval Research Laboratory, Nav
al Air Station, Naval Reserve
Aviation Base, Naval Ammunition
Depot, Navy Yard, Naval Obser-
vatory, Naval Radio Station, Nav
al Torpedo Plant, Naval Model
Testing Basin, Naval Hospital,
Boiling Field, Army Medical Cen
ter, Arlington Cantonment, Fort
Meade, Fort Myer, and the Army
War College. These were selected
by Army and Navy officers. APP
plications will also be accepted
from any of the enlisted person
mel in the first three non-commis-
stoned ranks. So far, the majority
of the applications have come
from Boiling Field.
Already under Inspection, it is
believed that, if accepted by F.
S. A. within the next week, some
of the homes may be occupied by
the middle of December. After
acceptance, arrangements for
heat, electricity, etc. will have to
be made.
Now using the council room for
an office, the tenant selection staff
will move into one of the new
buildings, as soon as tLey have
been accepted and arrangements
made for heating facilities.
The staff consists of Miss Helen
Raymond, of Greenhills, Ohio,
and Charles Drummond and Miss
Harriet Tanner of F. S. A.

Prince Georges
Seeks Grant
For Schools

A request to the Federal Works
Agency for grant of $48,251.05
was approved yesterday by the
Prince Georges County Board of
Education.
The funds would be used for
added teachers salaries and other
expenses caused by the adding of
pupils residing in the defense
housing areas at Greenbelt and
Fort Washington to the rolls of
the county's schools, Orem said.
The sum asked would cover the
remainder of the current school
year and the 1942-43 year.
An estimated 108 high school
students and 494 elementary
pupils will be added at Greenbelt
according to figures compiled by
the Farm Security Administra-
tion when all of the 1000 home
units are occupied. This is based
on the estimated average that 754
of the families will have children
of school age.
1t will probably be necessary to
use the double shift system there
in order to accommodate the ex-
panded enrolment as the present
facilities will be inadequate to
handle the increase. Last July 22
Supt. Orem asked for $4,000
from the Federal Government for
ar addition to the Greenbelt Ele-
mentary School.
The Fort Washington pupils
will be carried by bus to the Oxon
Hill Consolidated School.
For the remainder of the pres
ent year $16,476 is asked and
$31,775 for 1942-43. This years
portion is divided into $12,417.9O
teachers' salaries at Greenbelt
and $4,058.15 for the purchase
and maintenance of school bus
and teachers salaries at Oxon Hill.
For next year $4,000 is asked
for teachers salaries at GreenbeIt,

MarveIs Of Today
Beat Fairy Tales,
Author Tells P-TA
By Kathryn Nj. Wood

Describing the trials and trib-
ulations of becoming a successful
author Miss Ellis Creole, one of
whose books was chosen by the
Book of the Month Club for its
Junior Literary Guild, spoke in
formally to the Parent Teachers
Association of Greenbelt Elemen-
tary School November "a. In
speaking of her earliest works
which were fairy stories and re-
mained unpublished, Miss Creole
quoted the point-of-view of the
publisher of children's books,
"Stories of the American scene are
very much more in demand, few
authors having the imagination to
see the romance right under their
own noses"
"The mechanical marvels of this
age are more miraculous than any
fairy story,,' said Miss Creole.
Miss Credle also described her
trip to Mexico and the resultant
story "Pepe the Parrot, and the
struggles she and her photogra-
pher-husband had in getting the
pictures fer her book "The Flop
Eared Hound" This is the only
one of her books which is not illus
trated with her own drawings.
She is now writing novel for
older children with the scene land
in the Carolina low-lands.
The program was concluded
with two songs, Eugene Fields
Little Boy Blue and Brahms Lul-
laby sung by Mothersinger's Trio,
composed of Mrs. Helen Trucksess,
Mrs. Anne Miller, and Mrs. Violet
Rust, accompanied by your colum-
mist.

Results Of this COMMUNICATIVE
survey will be compiled and used
in general report form by the
Citizens Association in a docu-
ment to be dispatched to Farm
Security Administration, and to
such other organizations or in
dividuals as are deemed appropri-
ate, to testify as to the social,
civic, and personal disadvantages
and the economic hardships being
wreaked on those affected by the
income limitations by the recent
F.S.A. order: Curb your income
or git"
Mr.. Hymans committee incor-
porated numerous questions in the
survey schedule bearing on the
amount of income received, num-
ber of shares owned in G.C.S. and
the Credit Union, and debts being
paid off by the residents. 1t is
recognized, the committee stated,
that these are intimate questions
and must be kept confidential.
They are not to be disclosed to
any person not authorized by the
special committee to work on the
fTl no IIa1nes viii l5e
used in the final COMPILATION and
report to F.S.A. or elgewhere. The
committee members observed
that it was essential to obtain
these facts in order that an ac-
curate economic picture might
be drawn as to the immediate
status OF the residents involved in
the eviction problem.
Other questions in the schedule
will bring out whether the Eek
cess income is due to bonus tenn
porary appointment, overtime
pay, wife or other member of
family employed, etc. The inter-
viewers will ask about schools at
tended by the children and sew
eral other questions bearing di-
rectly or indirectly on how the
continual migration of many
families now and in the future
will affect the progress of the
community, the permanency of
its organizations and enterprises,
the intactness of it's churches,
and continuance of it's fraternal,
rccreational, and civic groups.
Data will be secured as to how
those Immediately affected plan
to meet the problem of having
to move during the school season
and in the midst of winter
notable for it's difficult housing
problems.
The Citizens Association Exec
utive committee urges all resi-
dents to cooperate fully and COM
pletely in this project and help
bring the survey to a close
quickly and pleasantly.
Chairman Hyman announces
that he will be glad to assign
committee member TO conduct
the survey at the home of any
resident who prefers not to dis
close his financial status to the
local G.C.A. block representative.

who goes shopping for items that have
been produced in abundance in the

Evidence of the way the wind

THE HERMAN LEWIS CASE

Last week the two cases which Mr.
Herman Lewis appealed from the sen
fences imposed by Judge Battin were
continued until October 9th for Jury
trials. These were the sentences i'm
posed by Judge Battin after the police
officers entered Mr.. Lewis home with
out a warrant and brutally assaulted
him.
Mr.. Lewis, as a result of being
beaten by the officers, was dismissed
from the Fire Department by the Pres
ent City Council, which is composed of
Mayor Dan B. Butler, Harry Knudsen
Richard w. Jepsen, Walter Korisko,
Roy N. fowl, John Kresl, and Harry
Trustin. They voted unanimously to
fire Herman Lewis.
In this instance, we know Mr.
Lewis was in the right. But even if ne
had been wrong, the dismissal was a
punishment SO severe as to show on its
face that something more than the
charge entered into the verdict.
The case is now in the courts
where it will probably be for the next
two years, And other cases will be
brought into court as a result of this
one, and the end is not yet in sight.
Mr.. Lewis is right, in this instance
and he should carry his cases through
every court in the land until his civil
liberty is vindicated.

AND NOT OF MEM, and that all
