Hughes and Welfare Secretary Ribicoff condemned the boycott as political and un-Hippocratic, with the Medical Society of New Jersey set to discuss the issue at its Atlantic City meeting.

Symington Challenges Weeks to Testify on Pay Dirt Charge
Sen. Stuart Symington asked former Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks to testify before his subcommittee over charges that stockpile investigators seek political pay dirt. He rejected George Humphrey's claim of scandal and said the panel aims to uncover facts long kept secret in stockpiling copper, rubber, quartz, and diamonds. Symington cited copper mining firms profiting during Eisenhower years and alleged diversions of 83,748,000 pounds to private industry. He also criticized Arthur Fleming for being unhelpful in recent testimony about deferrals and possible stockpile diversions.
