PROBE Of HEAL TIL
BOARD IS WAN ED
Senator Beauchamp Urges the
Legislature to Investigate Or.
Westmordand'S Charges.

Shortly after the Georgia senate con-
vened today Senator j. c. Beauchamp,
Of the Twenty second district, sprang
a sensation by introducing a resolution
calling Dor an investigation of the
state board of health.
DR.. Beauchamp's request for probe
of the health department was based
upon the charges recently made to the
governor against DR. Roy Harris, sec
rotary of the board of health. The al
legations filed with the governor were
made by DR. Willis Westmoreland, of
Atlanta, former president of the state
board and charged DR. Harris with mis-
conduct of his official duties.
The health board met and DR.. Har-
ris was completely exonerated DR.,
Beauchamp said today that since the
allegations were made by one as high
in the medical profession as Or. West
moreland that complete legislative
probe should be undertaken.
DR. George Brown, of Atlanta intro
duced similar resolution in The house
calling for an investigation committee
of two from the senate and three from
the house.
