tackled from two sides. But Sergt.
Bottcher heard them coming, sent
up flares and in the eerie light
they were blasted back to their
own lines, leaving seven dead.
AS if that were not enough, Sergt.
Bottcher spotted a Japanese launch
apparently trying to take supplies
to Buna village He turned his
machine guns on it and set it afire.
A second japanese boat had to come
opt to tow the first one back to
where it had started.
Born in Germany.
What's Sergt. Bottcher like? A
lean. lanky, rawboned type with
heavy black beard. he obtained ex-
perience on the Loyalist side in the
Spanish civil war.
He was born In Landsberg, Ger
many, SO years ago and still speaks
with a slight German accent. He
wanted to go to America, but he
couldn't get in under the quota. SO
he went to Australia and was finally
included in the 1881 quota, arriv-
ing in the United States during the
depression.
Sergt. Bottcher managed to get in
a year of study at the University OF
California, Berkeley. He took out
first citizenship papers. But when
the Spanish war broke out, he
Joined up as a private, rose to the
rank Of captain and was interned
at the conclusion Of hostilities
Finally released, he went to the
United States and took out citizen
ship papers again.
He enlisted in the United State,
Army the day after Pearl Harbor
was attacked. He probably would
have enlisted the same day. but II

Defense Training
Separate Agency Also
Proposed by ContreI|
In Letter to Randolph

Recommendations for improving
the national defense training pro-
gram in the District by increasing
instructors pay and relieving the
supervisor of certain routine work
were made today by Assistant School
Supt. Lawson J. Cantrell in letter
to Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee.
In answer to Mr. Randolph's
recent suggestion to Commissioner
Guy Mason that something must be
done to correct the present training
program as a vital war project, Mr.
Cantrell said today that he believed
his recommendation would remove
the objection of Government de-
partments and defense industries
over the failure to train a sufficient
number in Washington.
Asks Independent Agency.
Chairman Randolph had advised
Commissioner Mason that this
training program should be taken
away from the jurisdiction of school
officials and should be intrusted
to an independent war training
agency.
Mr. Cantrell's letter explained that
one of the greatest difficulties has
been In obtaining supplies and
equipment for the training courses
and expressed the opinion that this
shortage of supplies will continue
for some time because the industry
cannot produce the material for
training courses at this time. He
explained that several conferences
have been held since Mr.. Randolph
lectured the school officials last
week. .s.
Asks 81 to $3.50 an Hour.
His proposal is to increase the
pay scale for instructors to 81 an
hour for courses on an eight-hoslr
basis and $3.50 on hour to instruc-
tors in supplementary courses of
three or four hours a week. This
proposal contemplates retaining in
structors in the schools by paying
them prevailing wage rates in the
District.
The suggested new scales were
determined after a conference with
local trade union officials.
1t is important, Mr.. Contrell
pointed out, that the supervisor of
the training course should be freed
from much statistical and account
ing work so that he might deal
with the complaints from Govern
ment departments and defense in
dustries. These complaints are that
an insufficient number of trainees is
being turned out under the program
as now operated.

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS
SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA,
Dec. 10 CDelaye6.-Some Amer
lean doughboys are literally
thumbing their noses at the
japanese in one of the hottest
spot on this jungle battlefront
and that's where Sergt. Herman
Bottcher, San Francisco, comes
in.
For sergt. Bottcher and his small
group of men smashed through the
Japanese defenses between Buna
and Buna Mission. killed so or 60
japanese, and established a beach
head that's been like thorn in the
side Of the enemy.
The Japanese have made at least
two attempts to remove this thorn,
but Sergt Bottcher and his men
are sticking tight in their coastal
position near Buna.
However, this story is primarily
about Sergt. Bottcher-he's the talk
of advanced headquarters and he's
rapidly establishing himself as a
virtual one-man army.
Last Saturday the Bottcher group
broke through the japanese and set
themselves up on the beach. The
enemy did not like it and attempted
a dawn surprise attack. Sergt. Bott-
cher was ready for them and they
were repulsed. leaving 20 to SO dead.
A Japanese machine-gun nest be-
gan causing trouble, so the sergeant
took a pocketful of handgrenades,
crawled through the brush and dis
posed OF 1t. He didn't wait to count
the dead. but the machine gun was
silenced.

Supreme Court Hears
Final Arguments in
Medical Trust Case
Arnold Asserts Doctors
Participate in Trade by
Attempts to Hike Income

When physicians descend
into the marketplace in an at
tempt to bolster their income"
they are participating in trade
and cannot claim exemption
from Sherman Act prosecution,
Thurman Arnold, Assistant At
torney General, today told the
Supreme Court as arguments
were concluded in the appeal of
the American Medical Associa-
ton and the Medical Society OF
the District of Columbia. Both
were convicted of a Sherman Act
violation in United States Dis
trict Court for allegedly seeking
to block the operation of the
Group Health Association, a
medical cooperative.
The two medical organizations
contend that the practice OF medi-
cine Is profession and not a
trade and that the reputed offense,
therefore, does not come within the
scope Of the monopoly law.
All Service mot Professional"
I'VE submit that all services for
the care of the sick are not pro-
feSsional," Mr.. Arnold said, adding
it could not be argued that physicians
were not in trade If they boycotted
drugs stores selling proprietary med
icine or sought to prevent the use of
some new drug because OF its effect
on their practice.
Justice Frankfurter interrupted
to ask if 1t would make any differ
ence in the status of the physician
under the law IF all the doctors
were rich and took no money for
their services" The Government
counsel said that would inject a
new question" into the case.
The associations contend that if
they are subject to the Sherman
Act they are entitled to the i'm
munities provided by the Clayton
Act for seeking to advance their
economic welfare, but Mr.. Arnold
declared that such immunity ex-
tends only to labor unions.
Declares Ground Shifted"
I'm winding up arguments for the
medical groups, William E. Leahy
declared that the Government now
Is trying to shift its ground in the
case. The indictment under which
the conviction was returned, he
said, was clearly made in restraint
OF trade" while now he added, the
Government is arguing that the
two medical organizations were en-
gagged in suppressing competition
He told the court there was no COM
petition between the physicians and
the CHA.
The American Medical Associa-
ton was fined $4,000 and the Dis
trlct Medical Society $500 in Dis
trict Court and the convictions were
upheld by the United States Court
of Appeals.
Arguments began on Friday. with
Seth w. Richardson. Washington
attorney, defending the Medical AS
ISOLATION and John Henry Levin
special assistant to the Attorney
General, arguing for the Govern
ment.

mission, today ordered the utilities

P. Locke Of Dallas, pool attorney,
obtained . recess to confer with
other attorneys on procedure.
Mr.. Locke told Hampton his group
had held no preliminary conference
with FPC attorneys and indicated
that the utilities wanted informa-
ton on the motive for the investi-
cation.
Lambert McAllister, FPC chief
attorney, replied that the FPC
never realized there was any mys-
terry about the investigation" and
that the hearings purpose was
to determine whether the rates
charged the Defense Plant Corp,
which operates the aluminium plant,
were fair and just.
I'VE want this hearing to bring
out the facts to support the fairness
and business Of the pool arrange
ment," Mr.. Hampton added. Il
hope we will be able to get through
here before Christmas"

and officials of the power companies
were observers from the State Utili-
ties Commissions of Kansas, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma and Missouri; the

ity; and Ark-La, the REA co-opera-
tive which jointly with the power
