BROWN F0RMAN
PROMOTES BA0UIE

Mr.. Charles N. May, general sales
manager for Brown-Forman Distill-
cry Company, Inc, at Louisville in
Kentucky, announces the appoint
ment of Mr.. Gordon Baquie to the
newly created position of assistant
general sales manager.
Prior to this promotion, Mr.. Baquie
supervised Brown-Forman opera
tions in Kentucky, West Virginia,
Virginia, Maryland, District of Co.
lumbia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Louisiana, and Arkansas in the
capacity of southern division man
ager. His appointment comes as a
well-earned reward for the out
standing sales record of his territory.
The creation of the position of
assistant general sales manager is
the natural result of the progress and
increased business enjoyed by
Brown-Forman since the first of the
year Another fact which is particu-
larly indicative Of bright prospects
for the distillery is that the summer
slump generally felt throughout the
whisky industry, has failed to make
any appreciable difference in the
sale Of Brown-Forman brands.
Mr.. Baquie will reside in Louis
vile and his offices will be located
at 1908 Howard Street.

the Anaconda Central Council con-
sisting of Jerry j. Clifford, Joe
Doran, and Joe Ferguson, notified
Butte that they would like an ad-
justment of the speaking schedules
between the two cities so that Sena-
tor Murray could address the labor
organizations of Anaconda at their

Park. Arrangements were made
accordingly.
Philip O'Donnell, candidate for
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, asked and received the en-
dorsement of the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council at its last meet
ing. One of the delegates made a
motion that the secretary be author
lied to concur in the request in a
letter by Mr.. O'Donnell This mo-
ton was passed, making the endorse
ment effective. Mr.. O'Donnell had
already been endorsed by Labor's
Non-Partisan League of Butte and

in Great Falls.

fishing a lighting zone on Harrison

Central Labor Council by Mr.. Bruce
Smith, a member of the Topographic
cal Union in which he rebuked poll
ficians who send out of the state Of
Montana for their election printing
No charges were made that any Of
the printing was scab, but the con-
tention of the Typographical Unior
seemed to be that politicians should
purchase their printing in the com
munity in which they live. The
matter had been brought before the
meeting of the Typographical Union

To the Physicians and Surgeons of
Cascade County:
COPIES sent to The Tribune, Leader,
Montana Labor News and affiliated
bodies)
The press recently carried a news
item in which DR.. 7. F. Walker, one
of our leading physicians, in an ad-
dress before the Rotary Club, con-
tended a system of health insurance
against major illnesses would be a
better method of providing adequate
medical attention than any system
of socialized medicine. Dr. Walker
further stated that, in his opinion,
the medical profession, with 1000
years of experience, could perform
that service more satisfactorily than
the state.
Perhaps it is a coincidence but DR..
Walkers talk comes at time fol-
lowing the Washington Health Con-
ference at which a national health
program was discussed and grand
| Ijury investigation has been initiated
| in Washington against alleged illegal
activities of the American Medical
Association and affiliated local
groups of physicians for its action
against doctors on the Group Health
Association staff.
The Cascade County Trades ano
Labor Assembly delegates most GER
tainly are sympathetic to the Wash
lington Health Conference committee
Recommendations, which, as we un-
Iderstand, include:
First, expansion of maternal anc
lchild-health services; second, eXpan-
sion of hospital facilities; third, pub
| lie medical care for the medically
needy Approximately one-third o.
the population); fourth, a medical
care program for the whole popula
ton to be financed by taxation OF
insurance or both; fifth, insurance
against loss of wages during sickness
The report introduced by Mis-
Josephine Roche, chairman of The
committee, pointed out: "In families
on relief, acute illness is At per cen
more prevalent and chronic illness
| 81 per cent more prevalent than il
families with incomes Of $4,000 o.
more"
'Non-relief families with income
of less than $1,000 have twice a
much disability as families will
more than $1,000"
Infant mortality is five times a
high in families with less than $50
a year as in families with $4,000 o
more. Half the babies are born t.
families on relief or with less thai
$1,000. The majority of low-incom
families do not receive adequate pre-
natal care; at least half the death
of mothers and children in the frs

 Feuds between Chairman Upson and Lawyer Williamson and Alcorn, Sr., and the Darien "boss," have been current for some time. In fact, strange reports have spread recently that the feuds are "ex- ploded," in some instances, into per- sonal arguments.
 With Waterbury's Fusion party in state of collapse because Chair man Upson has been unable to handle" Controller Rowland in the matter of patronage, the chance of the Waterbury organization leader to gain the Fifth District nomina- tion is becoming less daily, reports on all sides agree.
 Counter Attraction
 Attempt of Publisher Pape and Chairman Upson to line up with the J. Kenneth Bradley-Samuel F. Pryor, Jr, political faction of Fair field county, resulted in the grand jury proceedings in Waterbury, it is said, as design to counteract the Fairfield county grand jury in- vestigation into the Merritt High way land deals, out of which three indictments of Republican officials and an associate have resulted. There remains to be explained the $500 gift" from Fairfield county Republicans to the Fusion cam- paign last October in Waterbury.

Even His Best Pal Turned Him Down After Hitler"

BY NEA Service
 New York, April Sits all in how other guys treat you. You want other guys to like you If they do, you're happy. If they don't you're unhappy.
 That's why a guy-a Jewish guy like 15-year-old Martin Warden likes the United States of America and why he doesn't like Germany, where he spent two years under the thumb of the Nazis.
 That's why, too, Martin, now a New York messenger boy, wrote a prayer of thanks to his adopted land-a prayer so touching that, after it had been published in his high school magazine here, 1t was sent on to President Roosevelt, Sec retary Hull and the newspapers with the New York city school su- perintendent's comment that 1t "should be read by every American"
 You see, Martin has never quite gotten over how Aleck Stoloe treat ed him back in Germany.
 "He was my best friend" said Martin. We used to play together all the time, at each others houses. Then Hitler came in. And Aleck would not talk to me any more. None of the German boys would talk with the Jews. They would throw rocks at us and call us names. It was terrible ...
 "Tt's easy here. Everybody Is the same. The other boys talk to me. It doesn't make any difference over here that am a Jew
 It was in 1895 that Martin and his sister (their father is deaO came to the United States to join their mother, who had preceded them by year.
 Martins not mad at Aleck Sto- loe-not really. He hopes that Aleck may read his prayer" some day-particularly that part of it which says: T am thankful that z live in land where one is not per- secuted . I am thankful that I live in a land where the youth of all races have a tomorrow ..."

MILLIONS READY FOR STATE AID
Nearly S4,OOO,0OO Paid Out in Benefits Since
 January 1, 1888

Hartford, April 5.-Labor Con- missioner Joseph M. Tone disclosed today that $3,752 ,0O0 was distributed in unemployment compensation in Connecticut during the first quarter which ended March 31, and that the amount available for future bene- fits is now $13,227,00O.
 MT. Tone said that with the quar- ter's business finished, the fund from which compensation is paid is in "very healthy state" and will be increased when contributions on January, February and March pay rolls are collected from liable em- ployers not later than April 28.
 "The Connecticut unemployment compensation fund held up we'll" he pointed out, "even though we began paying benefits in the midst of a recession. The first quarter is completed and there is $13,227, 900 left for the future.
 Contributions from liable en- ployers for 1898 are based on pay roll tax of 2.7 per cent which rep resents an increase of 50 per cent over last years rate of 18 per cent. The collection for the last three months should, therefore, re- suit in an increase in the fund by the end of April"
