Haw|ey Claims Ewing
Issued Health Report
With Downright Lies
BY the Assoeioted Press

A doctor charged yesterday that
health program report made by
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing contained downright
lies"
The physician-Dr. Paul r. Haw-
ley, wartime chief Army medical
officer in the European theater and
later medical chief Of the Veterans
Administration-made the charge
in a letter to Senator Lodge, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts,. Senator
Lodge put the letter in the Con-
gressional Record.
DR.. Hawley said he was named by
Mr. Ewing as a member of the
Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Health Assembly meeting
held here last May.
He said the committee had no
voice in arrangements or in Mr..
Ewing's report, which recommended
universal health insurance plan.
He said the way names Of the
Executive Committee members were
used in the report "bordered upon
sharp practice"
False Inference Charged.
Mr. Ewing, who Is Ill, was not
available for direct comment, but
spokesman for the Federal Sc
curity Administration noted that
Mr.. Ewing said in the report on the
assembly's deliberations:
There was no agreement on the
question Of national health insur-
ance, and my recommendation Of
such a program must be clearly
understood as in no way expressing
the views of the assembly. 1t took
no position, one way or the other,
on this question
DR.. Hawley, who is listed in the
report as being connected with
Associated Medical Care Plans, said
in&ihis letter to Senator Lodge on
the report:
"The large part of its contents is
true; and this tends to obscure the
downright lies with which 1t is in
terlarded at strategic points"
DR.. Hawley said Mr.. Ewing had
made the false inference that 325 900
persons die yearly because Of lack
of medical care.
Lowering of Standards Feared.
A spokesman for Mr.. Ewing called
to attention to the fact that Mr.
Ewing said in the report that he
had carefully weighed" the argu-
ments against national health in
surance and still found himself
compelled to recommend it."
Every year, over 100000 people
die whom we have the knowledge
and skills to save" Mr.. Ewing said
in the report. This stark fact
proves that the present system in
inadequate. BY and large, only the
well-to-do and to a certain extent,
charity patients get satisfactory
medical care"
Asserting that the American Med
ical Association Is "in the hands of
ultra a-conservatives," DR.. Hawley
said that he is not in sympathy
with the position Of the association.
But I am firmly convinced" he
added, that compulsory health in
surance will inevitably lower the
quality of medical practice in this
country
Both DR.. Hawiey and Mr.. Ewing.
are from Indiana.
