Dr. Sander's Career In Manchester
In Doubt Regardless 01 Decision
By Paul F. Ellis
' United Presi Sciatica Editor
MHnchcster, N. 11., Mar. 2
(U.R) Win, lose or draw in his
trial for "mcrey killing." Dr.
Hermann N. Sander's future ca
reer as a doctor here seems in
doubt.
The people around here are
still for him, but the nicdicai
profession hag not expressed an
opinion. A conviction even a
"hung jury" would definitely
hurt Sander's career. Even an ac
quittal may not win him com
plete exoneration from his med
ical society.
Friendships Breaking
Long-standing friendships al
so have been breaking as result
of this trial. For instance, Dr.
Sander is hearing doctors and
nurses whom he has known and
worked with for years, testify
for the state against him.
It has been brought out that

day noon Saturday for Sunday a m
there were some "differences"
betwten Dr. Sander and Dr. Rob
ert Biron. the medical referee
who testified against him. These
"differences" were at medical
meetings, and docs not mean
that there was ill feeling be
tween the two men, because the
friendliest of physicians differ
with each other at times.
Many doctors believe that Dr.
Sander has "embarrassed" the
medical profession by admitting
that he did an "unethical act."
The A.M. A. may not reprimand
the doctor, but his county medi
cal society may take some kind
of action when the trial is over.
His license has not been sus
pended, but he has promised to
suspend his practice pending de
cision of the trial.
Discussions Brought Out
The discussion of medical men
in Ihc privacy of their staff meet
ings or in hospitals during the
course of their work usually Is
kept from the public but In
this trial, the public has learned
of what goes on behind the
scenes. Some of It has been too
technical for a lay person to un
derstand. The "mercy killing" angle Is
out of the trial officially, but
it may be a determining factor,
one way or another, when the
jury begins to decide whether
Dr. Sander should be punished.
Most people around here be
lieve a ' hung jury" Is quite pos
sible, with an acquittal more
likely than a conviction.

University Of California Professors
Protest Taking Non-Commie Oath
Berkeley. Cal., Mar. 2 (U.R)
A controversy over a special loy
alty oath reached the boiling
point today on the University of
California campus.
Fifty-one distinguished pro
fessors, including deans and de
partment heads, signed a state
ment opposing the oath as pres
aging mass resignations of fac
ulty members. They said univer
sity regents had committed a
"tragic error" in insisting on it.
Largest School
The University of California
is the world's largest higher in
stitution of learning. It has some
20,000 students at the Berkeley
campus, 14,000 on the Los An
geles campus, and many at six
other branches.
The professors who signed the
statement said hundreds of oth
ers will join them In protesting
the oath.
The regents have told faculty
members they must swear to the
special oath by April 30 or lose
their jobs.
The university employs 4.000
professors and 7.000 teaching as
sistants, clerks and other non-
aeademic help. The regents sav
86 5 per cent of the 11,000 have
signed the special oath, but have
not disclosed how many of the
professors have signed It.
All Take Oath
All state employees swear to
this standard oath:
"I do solemnly swear (or af
firm) Hint I will support the con
stitution of Ihc United States and
the constitution of the state of
California, and that 1 will faith
fully discharge the duties of the
office of ... , according to the
best of my ability."
The regents want university
employees also to swear:
"That I am not a member of
the communist party, trr under
any oath, or a party to any
agreement or under any commit
ment that is in conflict with my
obligations under this oath."
Insult To Integrity
The professors claimed the
"special" oath is an insult to
their integrity, that it threatens
academic freedom and that the
standard oath is sufficient.
The professors said they want
ed it clearly understood that by
opposing the special oath, they
were not pro-communist. Dr.
Wendell W. Stanley, biochemis
try dean and Nobel laureate,
said:
"A communist stands no more
chance of getting on the faculty
than Mickey Mouse.
