Surgeon General Ira C. Brown
of the United States army failed
to pass the medical examination
given in January, 1912, by the
Washington state board of medi-
cal examiners, and has today filed
an action with Pierce county
courts in which he asks that he
be permitted to practice surgery
and medicine in this state regard
less of their decision to the con-
trary.
The above credentials of GEN
eral Brown are given by him in
his complaint against the state
board as grounds for the grant
ing of a license by the court. He
considers them sufficient evidence
of his fitness.
While General Brown was fill
ing his action this morning, an
other disappointed applicant, who
was examined and turned down
in June, 1912, DR.. Roy L. Pinker-
ton, was opening a similar case
in Judge yesterdays court.
DR.. Pinkerton alleges that the
examination was unduly difficult
and over-technical, and charges
that two other applicants were
admitted over him through mis-
conduct on the part of one or two
members of the medical board
whose names he does not divulge.
He asserts he was barred through
passion and prejudice on the part
of some of the board. =.
General Browns assertions are
practically the same as those of
DR.. Pinkerton. =
