Last fall Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold accused the American Medical Association of being a trust. Said he, the A. M. A. had "restrained trade" by closing the doors of Washington hospitals to doctors employed by Group Health Association, Inc., a voluntary health-insurance club of Government employes.

Meanwhile, in Manhattan, he eased his mind: "Mark Twain told me that this was a land of free speech and liberty. Well, so it is, but Dr. Fishbein [Morris Fishbein, A. M. A. spokesman and Journal editor] is a dictator, a Hitler. I believe in organized medicine. Socialization is fatal. But the trouble here is too much concentrated power, power that will not stand for criticism. So I am going down to Washington and see what can be done...
