$-9$~ 73 August 31, m3 %. William C. Wangles*, fTl.ajym Manager liberty l&taal Insurance Co Westgate Plaza Bldg. 20325 Center lidge Sd* Cleveland, Redacted Sberwia-Williaas Bear Mr. Wangler: last week, the Personnel Director for oar West Coast operations paid m a visit to once again complain about the claims handling service afforded by the Oakland office. The complaint related to the ewe which you and 1 discussed and into which you are checking. Attached are photo copies of the latest activity in connection with the ease. As yon will note, the lateer Foundation has requested a Workmen's Compensation hearing to obtain an order for payment of out standing wcdionl expenses. This is somewhat upsetting to us, inasmuch, as the widow had indicated to us that she considered this whole matter to be personal because the decedent's family had a long history of the seas disability, low with her having received a copy of a letter requesting a hearing, we can sorely predict her Involvement with her attorney into the claim. I would certainly like to know on what legal basis a creditor can initiate a Workmen1* Compensation claim in California. Perhaps of prime concern, however, is whether the situation can yet be rescued by prospt action. Gordon Laepy, mr West Coast Personnel Director, seems to feel that fast action by liberty with the hospital can perhaps cause them to retreat. This is a ease which we have a heavy amount of interest and we look forward to hearing from you cm it. Very truly yours. THE SI iMfivli' -WILLIAMS COMPANY Enel. R. J. Corporate Director of N40592
