PAGE TEN ACCUSATIONS OF LEGION HURLED AT GEN. SAWYER OF U. 5. BOARD Harding’s Physician Is Arraigned for “Block- ing” Proper Care for Shell-shocked Vets CHICAGO, July -—(By The Associated Press.)-—Col. A. A. Sprague, chairman of the American Legion’s nation- al rehabilitation committee, in a letter to Brig. Gen. Charles FE. Sawyer. physician to Hare and chief coordina. © Federal Board of Hospital zation, made public today charges tha General Sawyer is standing tn the way of proper care for wounded and shell shocked veterans and holding up hos. pital plans voted by congre “I recognize the fact.” Colonel Sprague wrote to the president's physician, “that before becoming chief coordinator of the federal board of hos- pitalization you had no contact with the men and women who were serving in the army and navy during the war and no experience either in the field government service that would give you @ chance to really know how men feel who lose their nerve, thelr health and their minds fn devo tion to duty, or how their families look upon the men who went out in the strength of their youth to invest their life in their nation’s service.” Appealing to General Sawyer to “stand aside,” Colonel Sprague. said “over 4,600 mental cases are still con fined in contract institutic nd that of the remaining $,715 victims of men- tal disorders only 3,500 are in govern ment institutions devoted entirely to their care.” Quoting from a letter received from General Sawyer, in which the chief coordinator said “I am convinced that the peak .of hospitalization has been passed” and that the government had sufficient beds, except in two districts, Colonel Sprague roplied; “It {s almost unbelievable that, hav. ing satisfied congress that these hos pitals are needed and that they should be built to capacity, that we now have to reply to your statement that they are unnecessary, “The reply of the American legion and every real American is ‘give these men the best care that medical science can provide in government institutions maintained at the highest standard of equipment and administration—and near to their own homes eco that, if rehabilitated they can be returned to civil life with greater ease, and if doomed to hospitalization they can be nearest those whom they love best.’ ” The controversy between General Sawyer and the legion official is the outgrowth of a letter written-by the general, July 12, to Colonel Sprague dealing with the legion’s demands for hospital care of the wounded, under the Langley appropriation bill. After discussing the possibility of converting more wooden barracks at Great Lakes naval training station to provide relief ‘n this district, General Sawyer wrote to Colonel Sprague “Think this matter over. Look at it entirely in.an unbiased, unpreju- iced spirit, your determination, your enthusiasm and your interest.” Replying to charges that he was “penurious and mercenary,” General Sewyer said: “God forbid that a dollar should ever be considered in comparison with the| results we are seeking for the, world| war veterans, but at the same time let me say that it is our duty to oppose wastefulness and senseless expenditure wherever {t 1s found possible to do so. “Because we have money is no reason why we should waste it. Be- cause thé Langley bill has given us these milMons of dollars, not manda- tory, thank Heaven, to use, let us be careful in the disposition of it.” To this Colonel Sprague replied: 1 “If there ever was a bill which car- ried a moral mandate to the govern- the second Langley bill. The} ox personal propriated under the bill awarded to eau. We won in this It was a fight against your ef money awarded to the federal board of hospitalization of which you are chief co-ordinator. We were disgusted with the delays in the expenditure of the former appropriation of $13,600,000.

Hays, president-of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, signalized his first official appearance in Los Angeles, the home of a large motion picture colony, by speaking before the chamber of commerce and leading motion picture men. He said he had come to visualize the industry as a great threefold instrument for good, cause there were three things it could} do as no other industry could do them. It could, he said, “filk a necessity, the necessity for entertainment.” | “In the second place, tt can and will instruct—which 1s a most precious! power i “In the third ptace, tt can do more than any other agency to unite the} people of the world to bring under- | consideration, be- reviewing the work of the postoffice department of which he was formerly the head and sald*he wanted to be- speak for the postoffice workers “the sympathy and co-opera tion which their importance to this country warrants.” He then discussed the organization! of which he heads and its object to establish and maintain the highest pos-| sible moral and artistic standards and standing not only between man and/to develop the educational as well as! man but between nation and nation,/ than which no greater thing can be done.” Mr. Hays prefaced his address by expenditure of this new appropriation y curtailed nervous e already been and delayed and mental patients he reduced 1,270 from the 3,800 beds to be provided by that program. When ‘we remember these recommendations Were based upon money ayailable and| not upon needs we claim that such a reduction is mbsolutely inconsistent with an honest attempt to provide per-| manent care for this class of patients. “You say: ‘Up,to the present the whole subject of the whole war veteran has been one laggely of sentiment by many people. A year and a half ago there were not minutes enough in the day to give attention to people who were here sympathizing with the world war veteran. Today the story is very aifferent.’ “I maintain that the first interest of every citizen of this country, as jt is the first purpose of the American legion, is to secure the fairest and best treatment possible for our men and women who are suffering from ser vices rendered to our country under Ahe colors in war. | “You also say I am opposed. to the} domination of people outside of the government forces in this matter. I regard and always regard with the greatest respect when occasion de- mands, but if the government is to be influenced by outside organizations, associations or specialists committee, We will continue to be troub) “Your opposition to the government being influenced ‘by outside organ!za- tions, associations or specialists com- mittees’ exists in spite of the fact that evers bit of legislation now in effect for the disabled veteran was put through congress by the American le. gion. It was in correction of miserable neglect. It still fails to achieve for the veteran what the country desires he should have. This failure, we are convinced, is net due to the interfer- ing ‘honest, constructive cooperation with the government, but to the con- grams agreed upon, such as your failure to understand and interpret it in a helpful manner. information see The Frantz Shop Ladies’ Suits and Furnishings Stock For Sale At Mosher, in the Salt Creek field.

Force and trickery, and, even homi- cide, were common incidents in the op- ening of yesterday's of] fields and in the mighty struggle for supremacy of the railroads of the country. It is strongly suspected too that commerce was born tn piracy, and we know that organized society itself was born tn lit- tle groups which lifted {ts hand against all other groups. “It is a far cry from the ment of those industries to the devel- opment of this but there is not an entire abser.ce ci analogy. There has been competition of the flercest kind. There hes been no time for F adequate reflection. “But those days are over. At/tho end of this period of incredibly com- pressed physical, mechanical, financial | and artistic development, the pioneers have caught their second breath.

Some time ago, Mrs. Henwick pur- chased a set of furniture on time pay. ments, and had paid about half of the marked cost, when she sold the furni- ture for full value and is said to have attempted to leave with the money.
