WASHINGTON, Hoc., 11— Con

Giand Canyon of Arizona a National
Park. Kor yeats tlu* canyon has bee
quite generally regarded as a park,
but officially it is a section of two
national foresta game refuge and
a rational monument.
“It has never been managed a« ;
part of the park system, and ha^ n *v

as such,** says the House of pubkt
lands committee in reporting **avo
ably a Senate hill that would dedicau
t>50 square miles - 800,000 aeres - in
northern Arizona as the Grand Can
yon National Park. “This magnifi
cent gorge should now take its place
as a link in the national park chain
which already includes most ot tV
nation’s wonderful and extraordinary
national features.**
It was thirty-two years ago lad
January that the first bill to make
the Grand Canyon a national park
was introduced in *he Senate by
late ex-Pr* s'dent Beniamin Harrison
then a senator from Indiana. Since
then the proposal has been presented
to Congress from time to time.
“It annenrs that there never har
been a valid objection advanced again

statement favoring the projeet. “Not*

i profession who violate siu-h rule , va

organization in question is the Priti ’
Medical Association.
The Medical Association l a * pie
• dmed a d enforced wit at it t rmed
‘ostracism” of several doctors who
'/ere conducting a sar.itariur an
wha were charged by the Medical As
sociation with violating prode ion a
*thics, or the rules of he society. On'1'
>f tlio charges was hinged i.n \ th
I amount of money viiich the doctor;
required of patients, which am rent’;
vas below the scale demanded ^ y th
ociety, and tin* other dealt with a!*
leged control of the sanit*w‘um h
non- professional persons.
Justice McCardle, who do:• ! d the
case, called it a boycott. He decided
that “the plajntiffs did not sin again
st them by the Association. Tin eforc
he awarded heavy damages for the
four doctors against the Association
ranging from $”>,000 to SS.ftOO.
Probably the case will be appealed
to the court of final resort, the House
of Lords.
