SAWYER TO STAY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—President Harding will not grant the demand of the American Legion for the removal of his personal physician, Brigadier General C. E. Sawyer, as head of the federal hospitalization board, it was learned here today from sources close to the executive.
The president is known to feel that Sawyer was unjustly criticized by the Legion and that while the hospital construction program has been delayed, the doctor's handling of matter will be justified in the end.
Sawyer today declined to make any comment on the legion's demand other than to state he was surprised at the action. He said he might issue a statement later.
