GOV. BARROWS IS
 IN CONTROVERSY

Portland, Me-, Sept. 6-(UP)- Governor Lewis O. Barrows, who busted State Police Chief Wilbur H. Towle last March, denied today that the custer came after Towle told him a break" was near in the investigation of a $S0.0o0 theft.
 The theft, which occurred at the Auburn Motor Vehicle registry. still is unsolved. Towle in a radio broadcast Saturday. said Barrows had me immediately removed from the job after I had told him how near we were to a break in this Auburn crime"
 Barrows, a Republican seeking reelection next Monday, said in a broadcast last night that Towle was dismissed after being called before the governor and executive coun- ell to explain certain matters and letters written by him (Towle) which are in my possession con- cerning the welfare of the entire state police department"
 ITO me, such an act on the part of any governor, if true, would be ample Justification for immediate impeachment" the governor said.
 Barrows is opposed by foymer Governor Louis J. Brann' CD who appointed Towle as state police chief.

 Murray knows Dewey is tough. Tn 1881 his client, James Quinli- ban, @ N. Y. cop, was convicted of income tax violation in the first criminal case that Dewey, then assistant federal D. A., ever tried. He at once predicted @ great fu- ture for young Dewey.
 He boasts he has tried 10000 cases in all; only one man he de- tended ever went to the chair. When he was %, he won 4i straight acquittals from general sessions court juries. Tn 1884 he took four convictions for murder to the court of appeals and had all of them reversed.
 He's Disguised
 That's quite a record for the boy who was born in Waterbury, Conn, 55 years ago, and who helped work his way through Holy Cross and New York Law school. Let him talk:
 T was ill-advised in coming to New York and in becoming @ lew yer.
 T despise being a criminal law yer. The worry, the anxiety, the headache of witnessing the sorrow and terror of relatives of defend- ants about to be dragged from the bosom of their families is over- whelming.
 No man is master of his own destiny. His course of life Is dic- tated by circumstances over which he perhaps has very little con- trol"
 Doesn't Read Crime News
 He hates law but has made his life work in 1t; gets little relaxa- ton. He can't stand detective stories. He doesn't 90 to gangster movies. He never reads crime news in newspapers.
 His brother, Joseph, a corpora. ton lawyer of No. Wall street, has never been inside of a crim- inal courtroom. Another brother, John Gregory Murray, is Catholic Archbishop of St. Paul. His two sisters are public school principals in Waterbury.
 His next major job is to defend Frank Hayes, Waterbury's mayor and Connecticut's lieutenant gov- ernor, who goes on trial next month on charges of corruption.
 He dresses like a country nick lawyer" he said. He is just under 6 feet, weighs lso pounds, wears glasses, has black hair that is graying.
 He is courteous, soft-spoken in court. He is well liked even by detectives, and by reporters for defending Martin Mooney, the N. Y. American reporter who was convicted of contempt for refusing to divulge sources of information to the runaway grand jury."-J.

 Represented by Attorney Timothy s. Sullivan, Mrs. Halliwell sought to have the law day extended six months.

The debt was established at $9,594.89 at the time of the judgment. Since then irl- terest has accumulated.

Ht testified that since the filing of the foreclosure judgment against Mrs Halliwell, the Koffee Kottage. which is located almost directly across tht highway. had been sold for approx. imately $30.O00.
 Judge Finn denied the motion: from the bench when Attorney Prank Healey, representing ths HOLC. argued that no direct evi- dence of possibility of redemption of equity had been shown.

 Many of the children were quite small, indicating that Q preponder- ance of the applications for cloth ing were for boys and girls going to Kindergarten for the first time.

"Let up. Light up Q Camell" to offset the nervous strain caused by the fast pace of modern living, R. j.. Reynolds Tobacco Company advises In Q new advertising campaign.
 The newspaper and magazine copy contracts the healthy nerves of e dog with the often upset nerves of man. A headline Don't Let Ten- sion Get Your Nervesl' Is followed in the first of e new series of advertise ments by the illustration of Collie and accompanied by the text:
 Nervous System
 "This Collie dog has a nervous system that is remarkably similar to yours. Like yours 1t is delicate, com plicated. But here is where Q big difference comes in: The dog can spring into flashing action--and then relax. While mans nature makes him unkind to his nerves. All too often, we work too hard worry too much, are fatigued or sleepless from strain. Nerves cry for rest, but we do not hear. Don't let tension "get" your nerves. Give your nerves a frequent rest-a pleasant breath ing spell-"Let up. Light up @ Ca- mel" Camels help you to remember that you need a brief bit of leisure, for they are mild and mellow, su- premely enjoyable cigarette, made from costlier tobaccos. Steady smok- CTS find that "Let up-light up Q Camel" puts more joy into living, and that Camel's costlier tobaccos are mild and soothing to their nerves
 These statements are substantial ed by testimonials of well-known peo- pie, who lead active, healthy lives and who have found the advantages in following the slogan, Let up. Light up a Camel at frequent inter vals.
 New Advertisements
 The new advertisements also ac- quaint the public with interesting facts regarding the tobacco industry. Did you know, one advertisement asks, that over a billion pounds of leaf tobacco will move to market this season That there are 26 dif- ferent types of American-grown to- bacco, by U. s. Government stand ards, and of course, great variations in quality and grades? That from the time the tobacco seedlings are first planted, Camel buyers study soil conditions. weather and local curing methods? They know where the choice grades are-the high quality grades delicately mild in fla- vor and fragrance. Camel experts buy accordingly. Over the years. 1t has come to be & recognized fact in the tobacco trade that Camels are @ matchless blend of finer. more ex- pensiye tobaccos-Turkish and De- mestic.'
