LEGION KILLS FURTHER CONDEMKATH1N OF SAWYER

By J. BART CAMPBELL. STAFF CORRESPONDENT f. N. SERVICE NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 19. Further condemnation of the policy pursued by Brigadier General Sawyer, President Harding's personal physician, as head of" the federal hospitalization board, was throttled this morn. Ing by the "conservative element" in the American Lesion convention. On the heels of the departure of Col. C. R, Forbes, director of the federal veterans' bureau, and the sudden, cancellation cf the address he was to make to the convention.

fourteen different resolutions from as many state delegations, all of which embodies caustic criticism of Sawyer, were smothered at a stormy night session of the interstate hospitalization committee. Continuation of attacks upon the administration were strongly opposed by the same group which was largely responsible lor the "softening" of the criticisms of President Harding in . the separate soldiers' bonus resolution adopted by the convention. In discarding the fourteen anti-

Sawyer resolutions, the committee decided to present a report to", the convention recommending settlement of the Legion's controversy with Sawyer over the government's treatment of sick and disabled veterans on the terms Sawyer agreed to. These terms were previously announced by Col. A. A. Sprague. chair man for the past year of the national hospitalization board, as "satisfactory and harmonious" because trftey . involved recognition by Sawyer -of the Legion's rehabilitation program. Sawyer was declared to have "signed on the dotted line" an endorsement of this program and to have committed himself to full cooperation with the Legion in national rehabilitation work.

The subject of securing adequate and economical service from .utilities serving this' district, the most timely topic ever approached by the members of the East Chicago Chamber of Commerce in it? history, took the form of a debate between Attorney Wm. J. Murray and Morse Del Plain, vice president of the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric o., at a Chamber luncheon meeting held yesterday. FLAYS NOHTHER.V INDIANA GAS Hurling charges that the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Co. had failed miserably to give efficient and adequate service to this community. Attorney Murray proceeded to recite his cwn experience with the local utility. He intimated that being: a property owner was not an asset but rather a liability when having: to deal with utilities which extended such poor service and no co-operation. He showed by actual ficts that families had been unable to occupy several of his homes for months at a time In the Harbor because of this company's failure to make the proper connection of gras and electric service. "GAS CO. XOT CROOKED" "The Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Co. Is not crooked." This was the introductory statement in the address of Mr. Del Plain when speaking: before the members of the Chamber of Commerce and preceding the attack by Attorney Murray yesterday. Classing the utility enemies into three divisions. Mr. Del Plain showed by a process Of elimination two sections of these opponents could usually be convinced of the true workings of Tie existing conditions of a utility. The third class, which

financial he considered as hopeless from the standpoint of being convinced of the utilities' good Intentions toward Its patrons. Revelations of his company's operations were recited by Mr. Del Plain when enlightening, those unfamiliar with the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Company's plant activities. He told of the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to bring the efficiency of his company up to a higher standard. LEGAL 11MBU11 PREPARED Attorney Wm. J. Murray, chief factor In launching an extensive campaign for an abatement of the cement dust nuisance, reported to President Lewis of the Chamber that the legal end of the proceedure was ncaring completion. He mentioned Attorney Crumpacker of Hammond as heading the legal staff In the Chamber's campaign for the abatement of the East Chicago "msnace." SCOUT FUND DRIVE On the evening of October 27, the members of the Boy Scout council and Interested citizens will meet at the Congregational church to lay plans for a drive for funds.
