far as may be necessary to end and

. defeat this unjust, unwarranted and illegal prosecution.”

Mr. Richardson's statement fol-

lowed that in Chicago of Dr. Mor-

ris Fishbein, editor of the A. M. A.

~ Journal and one of the doctors

named in the indietment, that the

. A. M. A. would ‘fight to the limit.”

If the court upholds the indictments, the case can be brought to trial immediately. If the! jury

" acquits the defenaants, the case is + over, but if the jury convicts, the

defendants may appeal to a higher court and eventually to the Supreme Court. Consent Decree Possible One method of settling the case

without resort to trial is open—

Roosevelt's

negotiation of a consent decree, The indictments, handed down after nine weeks of investigation, were considered significant because:

1. They, together with President]

proposed $850,000,000 health improvement program, have focused the attention of the nation on health problems of low income groups. 2. They have spotlighted the oppositi of organized medicine to co-operative attempts to share the burden of medical costs. The A. M. A., however, is attempting in some states experimental co-opera-

| tive plans under its own supervision.

3. They have similarly | drawn widespread attention to the cooperative health idea and stimulated public thinking on the feasibility of such co-operatives and their prob-

| able effects on medical practice.
