During the World War, Germany

marines, Mr.. Lake pointed out. One
of these was the Deutschland, which

Gives Mats 81 Victory

By staff Correspondent of The star
ORLANDO, Fla, April 2.-Rick
Ferrell's ninth-inning single with
the bases loaded and two out gave
the Nationals a 3-to-2 victory over
the Kansas City Blues of the Ameri-

Sid Hudson and Alexandra Carras-
quel, the Mats had no better than
tie as they went into their half
of the last inning. Capitalizing on
the wildneSs of Al Gerheauser,
fourth Kansas City pitcher, they
loaded the bases and Ferrell re-
sponded with a clean blow to CEN
ter field, scoring Buddy Lewis with
the winning run.
After Hudson had held the Blues
to one hit in six innings, WASH

House Orders
Two Strike
Inquiries

The House this afternoon directed
it's Naval and Military Committees
to make separate investigations of
the national defense program while
the Senate heard three Democratic
members declare that widespread
strikes were threatening the pro-
gram and demand immediate legis-
lation to curb them.
The House approved resolution
by Representative Vinson. Democrat,
of Georgia authorizing and ordering
the study and giving the commit
tees power to subpoena witnesses.
The roll call vote was announced as
1894 to l. Representative Marcan-
tonic. American-Labor, of New York
cast the dissenting vote.
Mr.. Vinson, chairman of the Ma
val Committee, announced tnat his
group certainly would inquire into
defense strikes and at the last min
ute the resolution was amended to
make it broad enough to cover any
phase of the defense work
Proponents contended that the
defense program was being sab
otaged" and that ''dictators" in the
United States were being permitted
to call strikes while Congress was
appropriating billions of dollars to
fight aggression abroad. But Rep
resentative Marantonio argued that
the committees would only become
strike e-breaking committees"
"Dilly y-Dallying' Assailed.
Chairman May of the Military At

debate that Congress and the ad-
mlnistration in the last eight years
had crippled" the States police
powers to deal with strikes.
Representative Cox, Democrat, of
Georgia declared that for Congress
to "dillydally further on the strike

but to abundantly deserve public
contempt He said THE President,
himself, ought to stand up and take

British Far Eastern
Chief at Manila
For Defense Talks
Sir Robert Brooke -Pophom
Sees Admiral Hart and
Gen. Macarthur
BY the Associated Press.

MANILA. April 2.-Sir Robert
Brooke-Popham. commander OF
British forces in the Far East, ar
rived today by plane from Singa-
pore and Immediately conferred
with ranking officials on Philippine
defense matters.
The visit was entirely unofficial
authoritative sources emphasized
and was not to be interpreted as
meaning any new move toward
closer lo-American cooperation
in the Far East. Sir Robert, who
arrived unheralded, was said to be
planning to leave shortly for Hong
Kong, probably Friday
For an hour and a half he con-
ferred with Admiral Thomas C.
Hart, commander of the United
States Asiatic fleet, and Gen. Doug
las Macarthur, retired, now military
adviser to the Philippines. The con-
ference was represented as canvass
ing the full range of the tactical and
strategical position of the Philip
pines with relation to Anglo-Amer-
ican Far Eastern defenses.
Information obtained in the con-
ference, it was learned, was a re-
capitulation of data American au-
thorities previously had transmitted
to the British. However, the meet
ing was considered significant in
military and political circles because
it was the first direct contact be-
tween the British commander and
key American officials
Sir Robert was said to have exhib-
tied decided interest in the 10y
atty of Filipinos, their standards of
living and related questions.

William E. Leahy, opening final
argument for the defense in the
antitrust medical trial, this after
noon declared that interference by
the lay Board of Trustees with the
medical service of Group Health
Association was to blame for the
trial of two medical groups and l8
physicians of Washington and
Chicago.

with a number of persons excluded
as Mr.. Leahy launched into spirit
ed defense of the American Medical
Association, the District Medical
Society and the l8 doctors charged
with violation of the Sherman Act
for alleged boycott of G. H. A.
Extolling the high ideals of the
medical profession as outlined in the
constitution of the medical society,
the defense counsel declared that
it was for the perpetuation and up
holding of those ideals that organ
lied medicine criticized G. H. A.
He pointed to a provision in the
constitution of the medical society
as expressing the true purpose
which colors every act of organized
medicine in this case" This pro-
vision, he said, provided that Or
ganized medicine was set up to
promote the art and science of
medicine as a general public well
fare"
The lay board of G. H. A. on whom
the defense lays blame for the case
was named as consisting of Will
liam F. Penniman. first president
of G. H. A.; Raymond R. thinner
man, an organizer, and William
c. Kirkpatrick, its second president.
There isn't any reason why this
case should have brought these
doctors to humiliation as criminals
in this court" declared Mr.. Leahy.
Its all due to that lay board of
