BEVAN HITS AT DOCTORS: "POLITICALLY POISONOUS" Sabotage Of Act Of Parliament
London, Feb. 12.
Mr. Aneurin Bevan, the Minister of Health, whose bluntness had earlier autagonised opponents of his new National Health scheme, today ac- 'cused the British Medical Association of being a "small body of politically poisoned people.' The British Medical Association represents a ma-
jority of the doctors.

Sabotage
Mr. R. A. Butler, the chief Opposition apraker, blamed Mr. Bevan for failure to reach an! agreement with the doctors.
He accused Mr. Bevan of de- liberately using such words as "quatic politics" because he knows that "it is in the waters of squalid politics tant he most enjoys himself."
Mr. Butler moved an amend- ment which, while welecming the introduction of the scheme, "declines to prejudice in any way the rights of doctors to ex- press their opinions freely, ac-1 cording to their traditions and in the interests of their patients upon the conditions of the ser- rice."-Reyter.
