Proctor Sentences
Medical Societies 10
Pay $4,000 in Fines
Defense to File Appeal
Monday in Group Health
Antitrust Case

Justice James M. Proctor in Dis
trict Court today sentenced the
American Medical Association to pay
a fine of $500 and the District
Medical Society to pay a fine Of
$500 following their conviction
April by a Federal jury on Gov
ernment charges of violating the
Sherman Antitrust Act.
Defense counsel announced they
would file an appeal Monday. 1t
was understood that due to the sum-
mer vacation of court, the case could
not be heard by the Court of Ap-
peals for the District of Columbia
until the fall term.
There were no prison sentences
since all defendant doctors who had
been charged individually with vio-
lating the law had been acquitted
by the same jury which convicted
the two organizations.
Justice Proctor explained that it
was an unpleasant task" even
though no individuals were to be
sentenced. He said he had given
the matter very careful considera-
ton" and he hoped that his de-
cision would be considered flair and
just"
Appeal Stays Execution.
The appeal, under rules Of the
court, will stay the execution of the
sentence until later.
Justice Proctor, who presided at
the eight-week- long trial, took only
a few minutes to pronounce his SEN
tence after lawyers and the official
defendants had assembled in his
court at 1890 pm.
The A. M. A. and the D. M. S.
were found guilty of violating the
Sherman Antitrust Act because of
their restraint of trade against
Group Health Association. a med
ical cooperative Of Government
