 New York, Oct. 29-(UP)-Branch Rickey, pioneer of farm system baseball, was named president and general manager today of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the team his St. Louis Cardinals beat out this year for the National league pennant.
 The appointment had been ex- pected ever since Larry s. MacPhail resigned the posts to become lieu tenant colonel in the Army last September.
 Hickey will take over the club Nov. 1 under a five year contract, the terms of which were not dis closed. It was understood, how Ever, thatt he terms were similar to those he received with the Car annals this year - a salary of $50,- 900 and bonus arrangement which Bzought his total to $80,000.
 Rickey, whose five year contract with the Cardinals expired this sea- son, said the agreement with the Brooklyn board of directors was "concluded at midnight last night"

 He said he would represent Brook 1yn at the major league meetings in Chicago in December but de- clined to comment when asked if Leo Durocher would be retained as manager. There is possibility Du- x0cher will join the Navy.
 T haven't talked about a man. ager," Hickey said. "Of course, I'm considering 1t, but haven't had time to give it sericust bought"
 He said that despite wartime Transportation problems he expect ed the major league teams to have spring training as usual, but indi- cated that the Dodgers probably would not train in Havana again next season.
 That would develop a tranSpor- tation problem and I see no need for it." Rickey said.
 Rickeys appointment was an- nounced by the board of directors mt a press conference.
 Now 62, Hickey has been with Hhe Cardinals since 1917. His only @alaer baseball job had been as a scout with the St. Louis Browns.
 When he took over the Cardinals as general manager in 1924 the club was deeply in debt. Without funds, he built up farm system among minor league clubs that made the Cardinals one of the most successful teams in the league.
 The farm system paid dividends in two winning pennants and in the sale of players. Because the Cardinals do not draw well in St Louis, the club often was forced to

Two eight round bouts headline the Waterbury A. C.'s boxing card tonight at Buckingham Hall.
 Tn one of the eights Tommy Ciarlo, rugged local lightweight who has always put up good scraps here, wiD clash with Ruby Garcia, tough Puer. to Rican lightweight who scored . surprising technical knockout over Willie Roach two weeks ago.
 The second eight rounder will pit Jimmy Mulligan, l9-year-old Lowell, Mass, light-heavyweight puncher, against Al Foreman, New York Negro light-heavyweight. Mulligar, former national amateur middle weight champion, is undefeated as a professional and if he can keep up the pace he has set in the past few months may soon have to be reckoned with as title contender.
 Ciarlo will be making his first start in Waterbury in a long while but has been fighting regularly in New York, having been in several sensational battles at White Plains in recent weeks. One of Tommy'S bouts at White Plains resulted in Q win over Harold Green, Brooklyn welterweight recently tabbed by Hype Igoe, boxing expert of the New York ournal-American as the best prospect of his weight in New York City.
 Hard -Hitters
 The local youngster is aggressive and punches hard with either hand but Garcia punches equally hard with his right and Is one of the most rugged lightweights in the game. Ruby failed to take back ward step against Willie Roach, who had compiled an impressive record here.
 Tom Collins. local negro welter- weight, and Mike Lewis, New York l45-pound prospect, will square off in the six round semifinal and it would not be surprising to see the bout steal the show. Lewis stopped Lee Hogan in New Haven his last time out but Collins is a tough op- ponent for any youngster and always puts up a good scrap, win, lose or draw.
 Two four rounders will match Joe Wasnick, New Haven hghtie, with Pete Freeman, and Herb Freeman, Pete's brother and also 8 l35- pounder, against Joe Thomas of Waterbury.
 Reservations are being taken at Mulligan'S Phoenix avenue.

zone of the paradoxes of the cur
rent congressional campaign is the
attack being made by the Republican
State Committee of Montana upon
Senator James E. Murray Although
Senator Murray, as chairman of the
Senate Small Business Committee and
father of the Smaller War Plants Act
has done more for small business than
any other man in the senate, he is be-
ing attacked for failure to help it. The
piquant detail is that in Montana the
Republican State Committee is synon-
ymous with that stalwart friend of
small enterprise, the Anaconda Cop
per Company.
1.-THE senator himself is something
of a paradox. A millionaire lawyer
and business man, he has distin-
guished himself during his first term
in the senate as consistent and
active champion of both labor and
little business. He has been a stead
fast supporter of the New Deal, and
he was one of the first men in the
senate to go on record for a second
front. He is supported by both the
AFL and the CLIO. He entered the
senate in 1884 by election to the seat
left vacant by the death of Thomas
Walsh, and he has proved himself
worthy successor He was reelected
to a full term in 1886.

and material to expect at each price
level. This article, taken along when
you go shopping, will help you choose
best buys. You can get the Septem-
Der issue for 25c from Consumers
Union, II Union So, New York.
UNIoN-MADE DRESSES
Most dresses are union-made, Init.
Ladies Garment Workers Union
(AFL) has informed Gu. Almost all
of New York's 10000 dress workers
are union members. And $3.50 to 800
of workers outside New York are COW
cred by contract But the only sure
way of getting union-made dress is
to see the union label before you buy.
Minimum pay for most union opera
tors is 75c-90c an hour, and the union
reports that in many shops it has
been able to get adjustments to COM
pensate for the rising cost of living.
But at best, the dress industry gives
work for only six or seven months a
year AS dress materials and produc-
ton are curtailed, unemployment is
becoming serious.
DENTIFRIcEs
Many of the best advertised tooth
pastes and powders fail to meet gov
eminent specifications, Gu chemists
found in tests in tooth paste, tooth
powder and liquid dentifrices.
Colgates Ribbon Dental Cream, To-
dent and others contain sharp parti-
cles which may scratch tooth enamel.
Others, like Albodon and Calox, are
made with chemicals which are safe
only on a dentists advice. Pebeco
tooth paste and Boriclor contain po-
tassium chlorate, poison which may
affect health even in the small
amounts found in tooth paste.
Special claims such as removes
film or three shades whittier in three
days" are meaningless. The most
any dentifrice can safely do is aid
your brush If it suits your taste and
contains no harmful ingredients, it
does the job.
There's no special reason for using
LIQUID dentifrices. It's true that they
contain no abrasives, but on the other
hand it has been found they some
times stain the teeth.
Best buys of 6S tooth pastes tested
were: Milk-i-dent (20c) and CD (Co-
operative Distributors, NYC Q9c).
Ratings of tooth powders and liquid
dentifrices also appear in the Sep
TENDER issue of Consumer Reports.
VACUDEx is A FAKE
That highly touted 1918 Vacudex
gadget which is supposed to increase
power, pep and gasoline mileage up
to 300 is worth no more than its
showed. The gadget consists of cone
shaped tunnels set in an exhaust pipe
extension. The pressure of air, as
the car moves, is supposed to create
a vacuum suction which will make
the engine more efficient. The gadg
ct won't save gas, Gu says, nor will
it reduce tire wear or cut down car
bon monoxide, as claimed.

Coast have been draining labor out of
Montana, and with it has gone some
of Senator Murray's support. The
chances are that he will be reelected,
but he needs the energetic support
of all progressives in Montana There
are too few good liberals left in the
senate to permit the loss of James
E. Murray.
This is as good time as any to
note that Senator Murrays Small Bus

small manufacturing establishments

plight of the small retailer and dis

provide them with emergency financ

YOUR DOLLAR
By CONSUMERS UNION


It's the low-priced dresses, not the
expensive ones, that are correctly
sized, Consumers Union has found.
Manufacturers of higher priced lines
make their measurements bigger than
normal to flatter the customer and
to allow for alterations.
With attention to details, you're
likely to get better value for your
money in dress retailing at $3.50
than in the $1O-$30 price range. Ma
terial may be identical. The differ
