Medical Association.
Lowell Jessen. association presi-
dent and publisher Of the Tlrlock
Journal. said yesterday the ehnrse
Is ludicrous on the face Of H. and
added that the Justice Department
has been asked 10 investigate.
/ Mr.. lessen said California news
papers In widely circulated reports
had been accused Of bartering
their policies 10 the medical asso-
citation for 100 inches OF adyertis-
Ing space. The essence Of these
accusations. he added. was that
they had sold out" TO the
extent that Gov. Earl Warrens
prepaid health insurance program
was defeated two years ago.
California papers are as honest
as any papers are or ever have
BEEN" Mr. Jessen said.
No Obligation Implied.
! He said most California papers
carried some medical association
advertising during the campaign.
but that the editors were not even
asked to support the group edi-
I torially.
In Sacramento, John B. Long.
general manager OF the publishers
association, declared: There
wasn't any obligation on any
paper to either support or oppose
the bill Gov. (Warren's health billl
as q requirement for receiving the
advertising"
The charges were reviewed In

Misrepresentation Charged.
John Hunton executive secre-
tary OF the California Medical As

grew out Of some remarks he made
in the fall Of ls46 at q Chicago
meeting-"and these remarks have
been lifted out Of their context,
misquoted and misrepresented by
certain elements OF the press
notably the labor press"
I'm very happy to hear that
Mr.. Jessen is demanding an In
vestisation Of such charges" said
Mr.. Hunton. My remarks In
Chicago speak for themselves. and
do not intimate In any way that
