In Medicine, A. M. A. President-elect Says Liberal Trend Seen in Talk to Scientists on Care of Indigents By THOMAS'N! IENRY. An increasing trend toward lib- eralism in the 117,000-member Am- erican Medical Assoclation was re. flected today when:Dr. Nathan V. Van Etten of New York City, presi- dent-elect of the naMonal society, Who takes OMce next month, told the American Science Congress meeting here today that physicians must recognize new duties of the state in care of the indigent and take a prominent part in civic af- fairs to organize these services. The state, he declared, o wes its economically indigent citizens warmth, food and economic neces- sities essential to the ation of health but it is mlf‘r);:t:? with the problem of so framing its pro- grams that people will not be turned into parasites on the body politic. Proposals for Government -hospf™ tals recently advanced by President Roosevelt, he said, were steps in the right direction. ‘The Doctors’ Role, Dr. Van Etten insisted, however, that the professional and scientific aspects of caring for the sick remain in the hands of the organized prac- titioners, and insisted that the great American Medical Association was a thoroughly democratic body. He stressed, on the other hand, that the physician no longer remains cloi- stered in professional aloofness, but has become an influential citizen in his community. In the present sys- tem, he said, the medical man has built up a sense of personal security which often.has led him to be little concerned with the movements go- ing on about him. Physicians, he said, “must assume social leadership if they would avoid the role of pawns in the hands of those who would change society.” The doctor, he said, -is neither a tradesman nor a merchant of health, but a “servant of the sick” who may receive a fee for his services, but ‘who is not offering them for a price. 1829 Expedition. ‘Turning from thoughts of the New ‘World’s responsibilities as keeper of civilization, outlined graphically for them last night by President Roose- velt, the congress also heard today the long-forgotten story of the first American scientific expedition into the Antarctic. Reconstructed from an old log book found in the Library of Con- gress, the tale was told by Dr. Law- rence Martin, chief of the Division of Geography at the Library. The expedition sailed in two ships from Stonington, Conn., and New York in 1829, nine years after the mainland of the Antarchic Continent had been discovered by Capt. Na- thaniel Palmer, a Yankee whaler. The object was specifically scientific research. Capt. Palmer himself commanded one of the ships. The party included, Dr. Martin whom the tinguished .was Dr. James Eights of Albany. Dr. Eights made extensive natural history collec- tions in the South Shetland Islands, most of which long since have dis- appeared, and anticipated:- Charles said, five scientists, of most disf Darwin by nearly 10 years in observ- ing glacial boulders left by floating icebergs and deducing from them the geology of unvisited lands closer to the South Pole, Notebooks Lost. By extensive observations of wind , fog, sea ice and marine life, Dr. Eights deduced, said Dr. Martin, that there was a long stretch of unseen land to the southward. He thought it was a long chain of is- lands, Not until more than a cen- tury lster was it demonstrated by Admiral Richard E. Byrd that it was actually a part of the Antarctic mainland. It remained unknown un- il it was mapped by airplane flights taken by Admiral Byrd during the last three months, Reconstruction of the route of Pizarro from Panams to Peru was reported by Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy of the Ameriean Museum of Natural History. Because of the meagerness of the records, Dr. Mur- phy said, the period between the first crossing of Panama and the conquest of the Incas has remained one of the most obscure in the his- tory of the New World. He started by examining critically all the rec- ords and supplemented them with Years of personal exploration of the 1,000-mile coastline followed by the conquistadores. Lesson for New World. ‘The fate of lands urder intensive cultivation for thousands of years in the Old World may serve as a lesson for the New World, declared Dr. W. C. Lowdermilk, assistant chief of the United States Soil Con- servation Service, before the agri- culture and conservation section of the S8, Western civilization emerged, he said, out of the production of surplus food in the alluvial plains of the Nile and of Mesopotamia. It has moved westward until the Americas have become the last frontier of new lands, “Ruins of great cities amid wasted landscapes, sparsely studded with wretched villages and black tents of nomads are impressive today,” he said, “but more significant are the ruins of the land. The onward march of western civilization has fed on progressive exploitation of new stores of natural resources in the land. The frontiers of new land have been pushed ever westward to the water of the Pacific. It is gone forever. A new frontier now ap- pears in the conservation of lands under use.” Pan-American Co-Operation. ~ ° At the. first scientific session of the Congress yesterday afternoon William S, Culbertson, former Am- bassador to Chile, called for .com- | plete understanding and economic co-operation between the United States and Latin American nations. After s long delay, he said, the Americas are coming to a realiza- tion that they are dependent upon each other. " “Resources and natural oppor- tunities are everywhere in the Americas, he said. “We should transform them into higher stand- GOOD LUCK—Shown wishing each other success in the debate finals at George Washington University last night are Lee Chandler of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, left, and Philip Oliver, Kappa Sigma, right, while Mike Murrdy, center, Interfraternity Coun- cil president, looks on.

Seldom has President Roosevelt faced so distinguished an audience. There were men there who had added hours and days to the aver- age life span of the human race, others who had delved deep into the universe of reality, upon whose surface wars are like shadows on & screen; men whose minds had encompassed the farthest stars and delved into the darkness of the remotest antiquity. ‘The meeting started with an im- pressive ceremony, symbolic of the solidarity of the Americas. Girls in white came on the stage one by one, bearing the banners of the 21 republics. As each walked across the stage the scarlet-coated Marine Band played the national anthem of the nation whose flag was being presented. The flag bearers formed in line across the front of the stage be- fore the distinguished company there, including Secretary of State Hull, Alexander Wetmore, secretary general of the congress, and mem- bers of the diplomatic corps.

A crowd of some 50 men who had been pasting up posters collected. As the street fighters began to argue among themselves the diplomats entered the hotel and telephoned Sir Noel Charles, the British Min- ister, In the interim before his arrival, the manager of the hotel, who pp- peared in pajamas and gown, asked the crowd to t the foreigners and was promptly knocked down.

The police were not on post in the period when the propa- ganda sheets were being posted. Sir Noel hailed two passing mo- torcycle policemen. When they heard his difficulty they declined to_intervene and rode away. Sir Noel, his colleagues and I then crossed the street, surrounded by the crowd, and telephoned a police station from another hotel. Escorted to Cars. Eventually a police officer arrived and, trying to remonstrate with the Fascists, he escorted the foreigners to their cars. Both cars had been covered with the posters. Your correspondent pondered the advisability of a prompt and orderly evacuation, after four hours of fighting and wrangling. But Sir Noel insisted that the posters be, first removed from the two cars. This the police chief did with con- siderable apprehension as the crowd roared its disapproval.

Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) run and if it be necessary, will act together to protect and defend by every means our sclence, our culture, our freedom and our civilization.” Stephen T. Early, secretary to the President, told a press conference today that several thousand tele- grams of reaction to the President’s address had reached the White House this morning. At a ratio of about 10 to 1, he said, they expressed proval of Mr. Roosevelt’s words. Mr. Early said the Chief Executive was gratified at the response and noted in particular that every State and Territory was represented. In addition, Mr. Early said, the bulk of the messages were from persons un- known at the White House rather than those who regularly respond to presidential pronouncements. ‘The disapproving messages for the most part emphasized the thought of peace at any price, apparently viewing with some alarm the Presi- dent’s vigorous assertion that the American republics should defend the freedom and civilization of the Western World. Wearied by two days of almost constant conferences and close at- tention to the foreign crisis, the President made no appointments for today and planned to remain at the White House. Mr. Early said he might see Secretary of State Hull or Undersecretary Welles if these foreign affairs advisers desired. Unmistakable Accusation. Adapting his entire address to yesterday’s explosion of war in the lowland European countries, Mr. Roosevelt made little effort to be delicate about his condemnation of the aggressor nation and its leaders. Although he did not mention Adolf Hitler by name, the President’s re- marks, fitting into the pattern of previous statements, were unmis- takably directed at the Nazi chan- cellor and constituted a personal accusation that the Reich ruler en- tertains the world conquest visions of “Alexander, of Caesar and of Na- poleon. “What has come about,” he de- clared, “has been caused solely by those who would use, and are using, your inventions of peace in a wholly different cause—those who seek to inate hundreds of millions of le in vast continental areas— thase who, if successful in that aim will, we must now admit, enlarge thefr wild dream to encompass every human being and every mile of the earth’s surface.” Definite Challenge. “We have come,” he remarked earlier, “to the reluctant conclusion that a continuance of these pro- cesses of arms presents a definite challenge to the continuation of the type of civilization to which all of us in the three Americas have been accustomed.” Too many of the Americas® citi- zens, he warned, mistakenly have believed that the distance of several thousand miles from Europe give us some form of “mystic immunity.” Posing for himself the rhetorical question as to whether our Ameri- can way of peace could be con- tinued if all the other continents embrace “by preference or by com- pulsion a wholly different principle of life” Mr. Roosevelt departed from his prepared text to answer grimly, “No, I think not.” ‘Written in its entirety after a day full of momentous developments abroad, the President's address climaxed 24 hours of grave delibera~ tions and pronouncements here. Indorses Protest. At a press conference following s night and morning of consultations with his diplomatic and defense ad- visers, the Chief Executive made clear his personal sentiments by & flat indorsement of a bitterly worded protest against the Nazi invasion is- sued by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. Later, Mr. Roosevelt discussed the entire crisis with his cabinet in,an unusually long session and con- ferred with diplomatic representa- tives of Holland, Belgium and Den- mark, victims alike of the spreading War.

Admiral Cavagnari indicated he had little faith in figures of naval losses announced either by the allies or Germany. After observing that both sides boasted of inflicting huge losses on the enemy in the Norwegian cam- paign, he expressed the conviction that “after the damaged ships are repaired there will not be much change in the ratio of strength be- tween the two opposing navies.” Expressions of sympathy for the people of Belgium and the Nether- lands were heard among some ele- ments of the population. They speculated on the feel of King Victor Emanuel, whose only son, Crown Prince Umberto, is married to a Belgian princess. ‘The Fascist party, responsible for recruiting women and children for war service under the new Italian civil mobilization law, announced to- day that preliminary organization already is under way. Sweeney Libel Case Put Off Until Affer Primary By the Associated Press. ELYRIA, Ohio, May 11.—Repre- sentative Martin L. Sweeney, Demo- crat, of Ohio was successful today in efforts to escape making a deposi- tion in his $250,000 libel suit against the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram until after Tuesday’s primary. “We are not making any further effort to take his deposition before the primary,” said R. H. Rice, attor- ney for the newspaper, “but we'll pursue the matter thereafter.” Mr. Sweeney sued the Chronicle- Telegram and nearly 70 other news- papers as a result of publication of & Washington column which he con- tends accused him of racial preju- dice. He halted through injunction a scheduled Cleveland deposition April 29. He said his presence in Congress was a “paramount duty.” Mr. Rice sought to modify the order, but Judge Homer G. Powell postponed action until after May 14 because of a proposed Washington hearing, scheduled for today, and “the de- mands” of Mr. Sweeney’s campaign for re-election. Representative Sweeriey was de- nied an injunction yesterday to pre- vent depositions being taken in Washington by the Chronicle-Tele- gram. Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue in District Court indicated Repre- sentative Sweeney should seek the injunction in the Lorain County (Ohio) State Court.

Hutchison were among the spokesmen for a dele- gation of some 200 church members advocating adoption of the ordi- nance. They argued that its enactment would increase the safety of the highways, improve the morals of the community and insure quiet observance of Sunday. PFrank P.

Pittman Thinks Allies May Have Edge in Belgium Chairman Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee de- clared last night that Great Britain and France “possibly” may have the advantage in battles fought in Belgium. Speaking before 150 members and guests of the Inquirendo Club at a Mayflower Hotel banquet, Senator Pittman said in regard to the strength of the allies in the Low- lands fight: “There the navies are concen- trated. There they control the coast. There the great French Army comes into action. These things are en- couraging.” Calling for “adequate” prepared- ness in this country, the Nevadan asserted that “we are forced to admit” that the system of democ- racy in the United States “deprives us of the same powers of quick co-ordination, discipline and cen- tralization of command that gives S0 great an advantage {o a totali- tarian power in war.” He added that the restraints of a d are what have caused Great Britain and France “to be a step behind always in the war with Hitler.” The Senator went on to say that regardless of the “defects of a democracy,” he would not have it “otherwise.” The United States will not send its Navy or its soldiers to Europe to engage in the present: war, the speaker said, and concluded with the assertion that “this country will never be conquered.” Edgar F. Goodrich was toastmas- ter at the banquet. New officers of the club elected recently who take office today are Eugene F. Bogan, president, succeeding Melvin T. Hartson; Robert E. Freer, vice pres- ident; George Brabson, secretary- treasurer; Warren F. Wattles, chair- man of the Membership Committee, aand Richard S. Doyle, member of the Executive Committee. Advisory Group to Aid Commerce Studerits By the Associated Press. A plan to provide commerce stu- dents with practical business train- ing while they are still in college was being formulated at the Uni-/ versity of Maryland today. A financial advisory council to the College of Commerce was or- ganized yesterday, with John J. Ghingher, president of the National Central Bank, Baltimore, as chair- man. Fourteen representatives of Mary- land financial houses are coun- cil members. One recommendation to the college. was that typing and shorthand courses be incorporated in the college curriculum. Council members said those subjects helped young persons make “a rapid rise” in finance.

In the air, the Germans acknowl- edged the loss of 11 of their own planes and said 15 others were missing. Mass air attacks were carried out yesterday on air bases in Belgium, France and Holland. Seventy-two airports were raided, the report said, and numerous airport buildings and hangars were destroyed by fire and explosions. “Especially hard hit were the French air basés at Metz, Nancy, Rheims, Rommilly, Dijon and Lyon,” the communique added. A charge that the allies had killed two civilians during air raids on the Ruhr was made in the com- munique, which added that several civilians were injured and slight material damage caused. The raid cost the enemy three airplanes, it was said. Many Bridges Destroyed. ‘Three paragraphs of the com- munique were devoted to the inva- sion of the former neutrals by land. “The German western army, after crossing the Netherlands, Belgian and Luxembourg . borders, every- ‘where repulsed enemy border troops * * * and, despite the destruction of many bridges and barricades of all kinds, is on a swift forward at- tack,” the high command reported. “Parachute and air troops landed ® * * units of the air force sup- ported the advance of the army * * * far-reaching reconnaissance brought clarifications of the enemy army movements.” The sea attack saw the destruc- tion by bombs of two merchantmen of 5,000 nad 2,000 tons, respectively, between Calais and Dunkerque, off the French coast. Attack on 300-mile Line. Hitler poured more German legions against the resisting allies on a 300-mile front from the hills of Luxembourg to the flats of Bel- gium and the Netherlands. The controlled German press left no doubt that the Fuehrer has de- cided to force the decision on these historic battiegrounds, of Western Europe. Curt army communiques showed the German effort to smash west- ward was undertaken from several distinct sectors. Belgian Advance Unclear. How far the Germans penetrated into Belgium was not made clear. Units moving from the Eifel sector reported capture of Malmedy, former German town which is in Belgium roughly 15 miles due west of the German border. Germany ceded Melmedy to Bel- gium under the Versailles treaty after the World War. Since Hit- ler’s rise to power, there have been frequent calls for its “return home to the Reich.” Farther-north, a German Army group operating out of the Aachen sector reached the Netherlands city of Maastricht, dashing clear across vital Albert Canal, the German communiques said.

Other German advances were reported to have cut across the Maas River at many points in Hol- land and penetrated to the Ijsel River east of Arnhem, East Cen- tral Holland.
