Legion Commander Lewis K. Gough, in a letter to all House members, said the economy drive is based on a "wrong interpretation of the facts." He sent with each letter a 15-page reply to charges by Representative John Phillips Cal) that ex-GIs with incomes up to $50.000 a year are getting free hospital care for the every-day ailments of civilian life. Under existing law free hos.

pitalization is provided not only for ex-service men with injuries or ills due to their service but also for those with ailments not due to serv. ice who say they can not afford private care. Their claims of poverty are not subject to challenge Phillips, who is chairman of an appropriations subcommittee handling Veterans Adminlistration funds. told the House recently that this policy, if continued, will require tripling the VA hospital program and will lead to socialized medicine. Gough rejected Phillips contention that a veteran with good income be able to pay his own hospital bills.

He said this depends on how long he can expect to be laid up. "The mere assumption that a man has a certain income is not a complete index of his ability to pay for a catastrophic illness," the Legion head argued. He said the Legion's surveys show few abuses of free hospital care. He said these could he eliminated by better enforcement of the present law. Miss Thompson, Aide to Mrs.
