STATE HEALTH
OFFICER GETS
ACTIONS AIRED
Charged by Solons
In Probe of Dept.
Activities
AUSTIN. May 11.—UP)—A special
investigating committee recom
mended to the house of represent
atives Saturday that Dr. John W.
Brown, state health officer, be
reprimanded for unbecoming con
duct.
The committee, composed of sev
en house members appointed by the
speaker, has been at work since
early in the session.
“The committee finds that the
state health officer has been guilty
of conduct unbecoming a state of
ficer and inconsistent with the
dignity of the office which he holds,"
the report stated. The committee
recommended that its report be
considered a reprimand.
Dr Brown, the report said, has
been "careless and negligent hi
transferring a large amount of
funds appropriated by the legisla
tor for a special purpose lor tra
veling expenses and has utilized a
large amount of such funds in tak
ing extensive trips throughout the
United States; that he has been
careless in the operation of state
automobiles and instrumental in
practically destroying two automo
biles of the. state and the damages
to such automobiles have been paid
for out of funds of the state.”
Reporting on its investigation of
the office of L- A. Woods, state
superintendent of public instruc
tion. the committee said it found
“that a number of collections had
been made from employes for such
purposes as the paying of campaign
debts of the state superintendent,
the discharge of personal obliga
tions and for the purchase of pres
ents for such state superintendent.”
The committee reported, however
the donations were made voluntarily
toy employes and were not cotnpul
1 aory. It recommended that heads
ol departments be prohibited from
accepting donations from employes,
whether voluntary or involuntary,
because "a mere request for such
contribution might assume the
strength of a demand, and thus
tecome oppressive to such employes."

Policemen harried by requests for

to rocket-wobble toward its senlth.
A threat of action by H. C. Jones,
collector of internal revenue, proved
a small deterrent as money-hungry,
pop-eyed citizens scurried to extend
the links Friday night.
Jones was prepared to act on a
law permitting his department to
seize money and personal property
of a person who might leave the dis

but that was for the “camp fol

Wade Loofbourrow. acting United
