perial headquarters today claimed
that two Dutch cruisers had been
sunk and an American cruiser

This assertion represented a re-

Uniformed of the initial Jap
claim, navy department authori-

clever enough to do surgery without going
through the long grueing years of medical
schools could make more money by fraud than
Phillips did, if money were his main drive.
Others who accuse Phillips attribute
grisly motive to the man, an ingrained need
TO inflict pain. Such man would choose the
scalpel as the instrument wherewith to feed
his craving. They cite the fact that during
his CCC experience he was known as the
operating fool"
Phillips defenders say the picture OF
Phillips, the monster, doesn't stand up.
Although convicted Is times for fraud, lies
and representations, never was he charged
with cruelty. His West Virginia home was
filled with undernourished children whom he
adopted
To this Phillips accusers reply: Don't let
sentiment run away from reality. This fake
doctor, who short-circuited medical school by
stealing diploma, learned his skill by cutting
innocent and helpless patients. Instead of
making his mistakes in an anatomy laboratory
in medical school, Phillips learned his art by
imperling real, living people. The man is a
500 year throwback to the days of the med-
eval BARRIERS who were the first surgeons.
They, too were skilled, but by modern stand
ards they were butchers of the human body"
True" say Phillips defenders, but the
judge gave this man sentence of nine months
months for impersonating physician. That
doesn't sound as If the judge. who had all the
facts, considered Phillips an unmitigated
criminal"
To which Phillips accusers reply:
Impersonating a doctor Is only a misuc-
meanor in California and the maximum pos
sble sentence is six months. The Judge. what
ever he thought of the case, could put Phillips
away for no longer time.
Finally say Phillips accusers, ASK
yourself this question. Would you have a man
like Phillips as your own physician? Don't
worry about whether Phillips broke laws or
not Would you permit him to operate on you
or upon your children?"
What will society do with Phillips when
he comes out of Jail? The man admittedly
has a talent for healing the sick The de-
tenders Of Phillips ask what is wrong with a
society that makes a youth turn criminal to
become a doctor.
Phillips aecusers reply Nothing is wrong
with society. If Phillips had spent half the
time, trouble and cleverness on getting
through medical school that he did in imper-
sonating a physician, he would have been all
right. Instead he chose the sly, lying. and
fraudulent method that he did. He is now
paying for that crime"

were such testimonials as that Of Or. Cyrus
Sergis District Surgeon for the Sacramento
Division OF the CCC.
Your services have been uniformly excel.
lent throughout the period you have been in
this district he wrote TO Phillips Should
you desire 10 return TO CCC duty I would be
happy TO recommend you"
Winston LaPierre, clerk of the CCC camp
where Phillips was surgeon, wrote him:
II sure wish you were back here and so do
the boys you treated so well" NJ"
1t would seem then that Phillips was able
to fool professionals as well as patients
What was his motive?
Money, reply his accusers.
In 1924 he served year in Jail for passing
worthless checks in Pittsburgh. Next year he
was sent TO prison for defrauding hotels in
Baltimore. The year after that he was again
charged with passing worthless checks.
But his defenders dismiss greed as the key
to the man. They point out that any man

MY work was far from easy" the fraudu
lent doctor wrote in his story for The Amer
lean Weekly. For instance while practicing
in the little town OF Lebanon, South Dakota.
in the Winter Of 1881, I got a call that took
me out into a raging blizzard five miles out
of town.
Il found a man 80 years old in such pain
and danger that had to take him in my car
TO get him at once TO the hospital at Aber
deem, 100 miles from Lebanon. But by this
time the storm was so bad that I could hardly
see the. radiator cap of my car as l drove.

manage 60 get to my house.

But the State of West
Virginia discovered that
he had no license to
practice. So did Ala

several terms in prison.
He claimed that he

they were lies.

on that and TO his sur

true.

call of duty.
Even in his free time he haunted the
operating rooms, the medical wards and the
laboratory 10 which he was assigned, watch

not his.

a nervous breakdown and was sent TO

pose upon the people. Certainly in
the face of the biennial referendum
there is no probability OF ceilings
being placed upon wages. although
that is just as essential as ceilings
on commodities II effective controls

against ruinouS initiation.
No one can speak Tor the entire

War and Politicians

Judge BurnCy minced no words
in paying his respects to politicians,
when nc charged the grand jury in
Sampson Superior Court down at
Clinton the other day. And he voiced
the opinion of many people in say
ing that If this war is lost il will be
lost by politicians. Any politician
who docs anything TO get votes which
IS against the best interest OF thi,
country is as great a traitor as Bcnc-
dict Arnold or Judas IScariot. nc is
quoted as saying. Those are strong
words and take in lot OF territory.

clans are waiting until after the
November elections 10 do things
they know should be done now" jibc>

the November election could be to-

To- be more interested al the moment
IN getting themselves reelected than
in putting the best foot forward to-
ward victory in the war.
Fears are held IN some quarters
that after the elections the country
will bc called upon 10 submit Ia Ger
lain tax measures which Congress
