Veterans Care Called
Greatest Problem at
Medical Convention
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.

CHICAGO. Dec. Adequate care
OF veterans will be the greatest
problem ever faced by American
medicine Maj. Gen. Paul r. Haw-
ley, medical director of the Veterans
Administration, told the House of
Delegates of the American Medical
Association today in describing &
plan to make this largely a job of
the civilian practitioner.
With only 100000 veterans after
the World War, he said. a corps of
physicians was organized and medi-
cal centers set up, but the procedure
proved completely inadequate. With
little prospect for advancement,
ment, many of the doctors were in
competent and others became sub
merged under lay administration,
were stunned by the rest OF the
medical profession, and became a
discouraged. drifting lot"
1t would be absurd, he said, to use
the same inadequate system to care
for the much greater number of vet
Grams of this war.
THE present plan calls for using
the doctors in each community, al
lowing the veteran to call on the one
he prefers, with the Government
paying the bill. State organizations
were urged to present their own
plans for approval" he said.
THE veteran never will be used as
a guinea pig. He will have the status
of any private patient of his own
physician. There will be no small
group of designated physicians for
these men. After the last war a few
doctors lived off the veterans. Some
doctors are scoundrels. There were
many cases of fee splitting by con-
nivance with the patient to cheat
the Government"
THE administration" Gen. Haw-
ley said, is now under high pres
sure from some members of Con-
gress to take over the existing Army
and Navy hospitals, scores of
which were built during the war, to
care for veterans. They are not
conveniently located and this plan
would have most of the evils which
sprang up after the last war.
"A few bright Congressman see
the point readily, but some are more
interested in political patronage
than the welfare of the veteran"
He stressed that I'VE want to keep
the Government out of the medical
business"

sented a resolution urging the as
ISOLATION to proceed as rapidly as
possible to set up "a possible nation
al health program with emphasis on
prepayment medical care"
Another resolution from the Dis
trict Society called for each local
group to set up a bureau of infor-
nation for the public with list
of competent specialists.
1t will be difficult in any national
health scheme to say what is ade-
quate medical care, declared DR.
Roger Lee Of Boston, president-elect
of the association.
THE concept has greatly changed
in his own life time and especially
within the last few years" he said
Introduction of new drugs and
methods has made treatment ot
some conditions much simpler ano
cheaper"
He stressed the difficulty of dis
tinguishing between adequate medi.
cine and luxury medicine.

BowIes Reports Profit
OF Stores Up 1,324%

Price Administrator Bowles told
the Senate Small Business Com
mittee today that retail dollar
profits of department and specially
stores, before tax deductions were
made, rose 1924 per cent in 1914
over the 1868 average.
The figure, which Mr.. Bowles said
was based on data supplied by the
National Retail Drygoods Associa-
ton, drew from Senator Ellender,
Democrat. Of Louisiana, the COM
ment: ':If this is true then OPA
has failed in its job"
Mr.. Bowles was the first of many
witnesses expected to be called by
the committee in the next two
weeks as it inquiries into the broad
aspects of price control during re-
conversion.
Mr.. Bowles listed the following
percentages of 1914 profit gains over
prewar levels:
Hardware retailers, 1854; small
furniture stores, ,35: variety chain
stores, 339; mems apparel stores, 1893;
department and speciality stores,
1924; chain grocery stores, 1872; mu-
sic stores, 210, and auto dealers, 200.
Senator Wherry, Republican, of
Nebraska maintained that the OPA
was, in effect, regulating profits and
wanted to know if there was any
legislative authority for such actions.
Mr.. Bowles replied that the OPA
did not regulate profits but regulated
prices. I'VE use profits as a gauge
in determining prices" he added.
Chairman Murray said the COM
mittee had received several hundred
letters and kilograms from small
businessmen telling of difficulties in
returning to peacetime production.
He observed that these are mo
longer isolated cases" and that the
committee intended to go fully into

For Hearing in D. {.

MANILA, Dec. Alt. Gen. Tomo-
yuki Yamashita appealed to the
United States Supreme Court today
to stop his war crimes trial and let
him plead his cause in Washington.
The military commission, before
recessing until tomorrow, had an
nounced it expected to decide Friday
whether Yamashita must pay with
his life for the atrocities of his Jap
anese troops.
For the second time in the month
long trial, the former Japanese COM
mander in the Philippines tried to go
over the commissions head.
Yamashita asked the Supreme
Court for writ OF prohibition to
halt the trial, order him restored to
the status of a prisoner of war "in
conformity with the Geneva Con-
vention," and allow him to appear
in Washington for a special hearing.
His petition asserted that there
was no authority to appoint the
commission and it is without juris-
diction" since the islands are neither
under martial law nor military gov
ernment rule.
This was much the same argu-
ment his counsel presented before
the Philippine Supreme Court, which
on November % rejected his petit
ton for writ of habeas corpus.
The military commission will be-
gin hearing the final arguments OF
defense and prosecution tomorrow.
Throughout the trial, Yamashita
has maintained that he was unaware
of any atrocities as charged by the
prosecution, that the forces in
Manila-where many outrages were
reported-were independent of his
command, and that had he known
of them he would have punished his
troops under stern military law.
