BROWNIES ENTERTAIN
MOTHERS At PROGRAM

The work of Alcoholics Anony-
nous, a national organization that
has a branch in Billings, was describ-
ed by one of its members who adj
dressed the Rotary club Tuesday. He
appeared anonymously. The organ
ization is composed of former ad-
diets who found alcohol a problem
in their lives, subsequently freed
themselves and now extend assist
ance to others who want assistance.
The speaker said he is not a pro
hibitionist and does not oppose the
manufacture of alcohol. He said it
is mentioned in the Bible as having
been used in ancient times and that
there has never been a period when
it was not used. AS to prohibition,
it was tried once and failed; people
are not so easily shut off from doing
the things they want to do.
Those who want assistance from
Alcoholics Anonymous receive it as
long as they need it. Then, to in
sure their position, they assist 9th
ers.
The speaker said he was an Eek
drunk" whose sprees were of a week
to a months duration. Other MEM
bers are also "ex-drunks," or as he
sometimes phrased it, "thOse who
have found alcohol a problem in
their lives" When asked, what
about social drinkers" he replied
that alcohol is not a problem to
them as long as they are social
drinkers. When it becomes a prob
lem they are eligible for aid if they
want it and are eligible also to
eventually become members of the
organization.
Members of Alcoholics Anonymous
pursue IL steps, which the speaker
read from a well-worn card. They
are:
81. We admitted we were power
less over alcohol-that lives had
become unmanageable.
"2 Came to believe that a power
greater than ourselves could restore
US to sanity.
"3 Made a decision to turn our
will and our lives over to the care
Of God, as understand Him.
"a Made a searching and fearless
moral inventory of ourselves.
as Admitted to God, to ourselves
and to another human being the
exact nature of our wrongs.

Truck Hijacking Strikes High

CHICAGO.-Truck hijacking has
reached an all-time peak with .
$25, 900, 900 total loss from more than
5000 vehicles in the past year, a
New York alarm system company
president reports.
Jack Seide said last years truck
cargo thefts were 20 per cent higher
than the previous year. He said hi
jackers take anything from ice
cream or Sinatra records to coffee
or eggs. Textiles accounted for one
third of the thefts.
He attributed the crime increase
to four factors: development Of
unique methods by thieves, a pickup
in youth crimes, revival of old gangs
and the moving into the field of war
time black market operators.

First Four.Jet Army Bomber
Makes Initial Test Flight

MUROC ARMY AIR FIELD,
CALIF.-The North American B-45,
Americas first four jet bombing
plane, made its initial test flight,
landing 60 minutes after takeoff
here.
The big plane, which resembles a
one jet fighter plane rather than a
bomber, was said by army air
forces to have Exceptionally high"
speed. They did not amplify, but
presumably the B-45 is considerably
faster than the Bog of World War II
fame, which cruises at about 300
miles an hour.
The plane is the first of 90 ordered
from North American under a $73,-
100000 army contract. 1t has been

Russ Soviet Council Seeking
Large Increase in Production

MOSCOW.-The Soviet council Of
ministers called on Russian heavy
industries to increase their 1947 out
put by as much as 345 per cent over
last year and estimated that 81, $780,
600 workers would be needed to
accomplish the task.
The call for the 345 per cent hike
was for farm cultivators, and it
emphasized the need for increased
food production cited by the central
committee of the Communist party.
The Communists asked for a boost
of almost 30 million acres in land
to be cultivated in the next two
years.

dressed by Professor P. Churgin,
Isadore Margolis, Samuel Gordon

statistics and figures of wins,
losses, number of bouts fought,
etc. At his peak he was a slim
young master boxer and an eH-
fective and Furnishing hitter. Ben
ny Leonard has been written a.
bout in reams of papers; he has
been loved, honored, praised and
admired by boxing fans, by Jews
and by all sports lovers. He was
the idol of the East Side, the
adoring figure beloved by thin
faced little Jewish boys who, in
their poverty, dreamed of them
selves as champions of the world.
Leonard was the first Jew in
America to reach the heights in
both boxing and in the love of
his own people. He won the light
weight crown from Freddy
Welsh in 1917 and retired with
out a blot on his record in 1925.
During that time he became the
most famous Jew in America.
And there is a good reason for it.
When a people is beaten, per-
secuted and frustrated, it finds
more than mere sOIace in it's
champions. Thus, Benny Leonard
reached the heights in boxing,
and aided not only himself, but
the entire American Jewish COM
munity. When Leonard was &C
cepted and admired by the entire
fair-minded American cOmmun-
ity, the Jews of America felt that
they themselves were being &c
cepted and admired. Leonard

therefore, symboIized all Jewry.
And he knew it.
To begin with, he was a model
son. His mother was upset when
Benny decided to become fight
er. She looked at him when he
made his decision and said, weep
ingly, "A prize-fighter? Is that
life for respectable man? For
a Jew?" He became emotional
and explained to her that he could
make a lot of money for the TWO
of them. Of course, he was right.
He could fight; and he made
fortune.
Together with his intense love
for his mother, Benny was an
observing Jew. He never fought
on Jewish holiday. He was
acutely aware of his Judaism and
after his fighting days were over,
he worked hard for Jewish organ
izatiOns, particularly the Zionist
organization.
His attachment to his family
was also typically Jewish. His
father, like his mother, WORKED
about Benny's fighting. So when
ever Benny went to another city,
he always called his folks after
a fight. There is an amusing story
connected with this habit. Once
he called his father from Cleve-
land. The conversation went
something like this.
"HellO, Papa"
"Hello, Benny, where are you
calling from?"
cleveland, POppa, and just
won another fight"
'Tn Cleveland ?" Tell me how
much is a call from Cleveland ?"
"a dollar a minute"
| Goodbye, Benny"
Stories always crop up about
a legendary personality. There
are tales about his prOwess, his
generosity, his parents, his abil-
ity. Even the name Leonard is
buried in legend. When Benny
started to fight, the announcer
ImangIed his last name, which was
Leiner. 1t sounded like "leOn-
ard', and the nervous Benny did
not stop him, and it did not seem
to make much difference at the
time. Thus Benny Leiner, or
more properly, Benjamin Leiner,
the little Jewish boy from the
ghetto, became Benny Leonard,
the great lightweight champ OF
the world.
There have been many myths
about Benny's start as a fighter,
tales which tell of how he routed
a group of anti-Semitic hooligans
who attacked an old Jewish wom-
an, of how Benny went single
handed into frey with group
of hoodlums who were trying to
deface a synagogue. Of course
these stories began after Leonard
Twas famous, but this is the way
of legend. There is another per-
sisting Leonard legend. This is
the story of how, in more than
200 fights, no one ever mussed
Benny's hair. It is good story,
for it reveals that Benny dared
anyone to tamper with him and
