Mrs. Hobby Denies
Department Fails
To Cooperate
Beverly Hills. Calif. U.F3
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secre
tary of Health, Education and
Welfare, said today it is a "com
plete surprise" to her if her de
partment has not been fully co
operative with Congress.
She made the. statement after
Rep. Carl T. Curtis (R.-Neb.)
charged that the department has
been withholding "essential in
formation" requested by his
House Ways and Means subcom
mittee. Always Cooperative
Mrs. Hobby, on her way to
Los Angeles to address a Red
Cross meeting, said she believed
her department had "always
been cooperative" with Curtis'
subcommittee.
Curtis, who heads the subcom
mittee, said in a statement dis
tributed by his office last night
that he would not like to believe
that Mrs. Hobby "has been insin
cere in her statements about Im
proving social security."
Refuses To Amplify
But, he said, "the fact remains
that her department has not
been cooperating" with the sub
committee's social security in
vestigation.
Curts statement gave no indi
cation what kind of information
the subcommittee has been un
able to get, and the Congress
man himself refused to amplify
his statement.
As the ninth and deciding
state to ratify the Federal Con
stitution, the state of New Hamp
shire might be said to have
"created" the United States. It
was the first of the colonies to
declare its independence and
adopt a constitution.
