u. 5. Cites GameweII,
Fire Alarm Makers

Attorney General McGrath to-
day announced two antitrust con-
tempt actions against the Game
well Co. Of Upper Newton Falls.
Mass, makers of fire alarm equip
ment.
The Attorney General said that
both civil and criminal contempt
proceedings were brought in the
Federal Court at Boston this
morning against the company, its
president, Frederick B. Philbrick,
and its general sales manager, Ed
ward j. Mccarthy.
They were accused of violating
a civil antitrust Judgment en-
tered against Gamewell and the
two officers in March, 1948.
During the investigation, Her.
bert A. Friede, now District di-
rector Of communications, was
called before the grand jury after
the Justice Department produced
letters showing a close co-opera-
ton between him and the Came
well Co.
The letters purported to show
the District had bought equip
ment from specifications that only
Gamewell could meet. Mr.. Friede
earlier had been removed from the
post of fire alarm superintendent
when those duties were trans
ferred to the Fire Department.
The Justice Department said
the company had ''long monopo-
lized" the fire alarm equipment
industry and that the 1948 judg-
ment had placed sharp structures
on the furnishing of free engi-
neering services to prospective
purchasers of Gamewell equip
ment.
The department said the pro-
visions of the judgment had been
violated in prospective equipment
sales at New Bern, N. c.: VAN

3. Adequate financial support
must be provided.
Tuition Not Enough.
DR.. Smiley said there is a false
belief that medical schools are able
to support themselves on the stu
dent tuition, and this belief is
damaging to efforts to increase
endowments.
"As a matter of fact" he stated
"the SIS million received from tut
ton this year will provide only
about 22.5 per cent of the total
budget for our schools"
There are 79 medical schools ir
the United States, he said, with ar
annual budget of $67.5 million
This includes cost of plant main
tenance and contributions tt
teaching costs in affiliated hos.
pitfalls. Besides teaching medica
students, the schools teach nurses
make grants for research and pre-.
vide staff members time for care
of INDECENT patients.
Great Advances Cited.
DR.. Smiley cited great advances
by medical schools. "At the be-
ginning of the century the physi-
clan carried nearly everything he
had to offer his patients in his
two hands and his little black
bag" Today's medical center, he
stated. offers every device from
the prostate resectoscope to the
iron lung and every surgical pro-
cedure from appendectomy tc
brain surgery"
He told of many misconceptions
about medical schools. He men,
toned these:
: /. That the medical profession
limits the number of medical
schools. { Actually, he said, within
the last 10 years, two new four
year and three new two-year
schools have been built.o
2. That only one student out
OF 10 applying is admitted to
medical schools. (Actually, one
student in about 3.5 is admitted
he said)
8. That medical schools are not
preparing students for general
practice. (Of the 201,277 United
States physicians listed in the
American Medical Association
1850 directory 72,550 were doing
general practice, he stated
Discrimination Denied.
4. That there is discrimination
in choice of students. Fifty-foul
of the 10 medical schools of the
country admit Negroes.)
S. That few medical schools adj
NIT women. Call medical schools
except Dartmouth and jefferson
do, DR.. Smiley stated.)
6. That only so per cent of the
students graduate. (Only 1853 per
cent fail. not so per cent, he
said.)
