VET BUREAU
PROBE
Ewing LaPorte Testifies He
Made No Change in Morse
Hospital Price.
WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON,
Infernatfonaf News service.


All unusual haste" in the pur-
chase of hospital site at Ex-
.celsior Springs, Missouri, was due
to q "desire to hospitalize crippled
soldiers who were walking the
streets" Ewing LaPorte, former
assistant secretary of the Treas
ury, testified today before the
Senate Committee investigating
the Veterans Bureau.
Denies Raising Price.
LaPorte emphatically denied pre-
vious testimony that he had raised
the purchase price OF the property,
owned by e. L. Morse from ST.
600 to $50, 900 on the last day Of
the Wilson Administration. He also
denied that his acceptance Of the
Morse property was due to either
friendly or political motives, declar-
ing the project was accepted solely
on the recommendation of the Pub
lie Health Service.
LaPorte, who became Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury in De.
ce1nber, 1920. when only twenty-six
years old, testified he was placed In
charge of soldier disqualification uYt,
der the war risk insurance act. He
described in detail the steps which
led up to the Morse deal and de.
clared a new hospital was necessary
| in Missouri TO provide for the many
disabled soldiers who were walking
the streets.
What changes did you make in
this transaction with Morse on
March 3. 1922" he was asked.
Reduced Rent.
THE only change / made was to
reduce the rent and not to increase
it." Laporte replied. Everything ]
| did to that lease was only after IT
had been approved by the Public
Health Service. The files will show
that, unless papers have been de
stroyed. AS for rushing it through
on the last day Of the old admins
tration, I rushed dozens of such
deals through to get them out OF
the way. Only such projects as In
volved a question of policy were
laid aside for the new Administra
ton to deal with, and there was nc
question Of partisanship in caring
for wounded soldiers"
