DR.. Asa Willard. past president of
the National Osteopathic Assn. in ad-

THE government Of the United
States has in recent years repeatedly

Post Office. Forestry, or any U. s..
governmental agency when injured
could request and receive the services
OF an osteopathic physician.
Public Law 139-l942 provided for
the pay Of both regular medical and
osteopathic interns in the medical de-
partment of the army.

ANY one eating in Helena res
taurants knows for sure that
food prices here are for the
most part higher than any
where else in the state. No restaurant
operator in Helena has complained of
ANYTHING other than the amount of in
come tax he has had to pay during the
last five years. In view of present Nv
ing costs in Helena. most Of the oper-
ators favored granting the raise, they
were ready to sign the new contract
and proceed with business as usual.
Then Tom Alley, operator OF the Cab
in. flexed the muscles in his head and

and in the course Of a few years has
attained both affluence and influence.
He has grown in wisdom tof a certain
kind and wealth (money and prop

to handle both city and county Off

provider Of theological inspiration to
Governor Ford and reputedly serves

swung unions to the realization that
their job was to protect the interests
OF their members as workers who
would almost all remain workers.
An early fighter for political action
by workers, Mcclure strongly opposed
those who wanted unions to oncer
themselves solely with bread-and-but-
ter issues and ignore the larger polit-
ical issues which equally affected the
workers welfare.
1t was in 1882 that Mcclure first
proposed setting aside "one festal day

LABOR AND VICE IN HELENA

A recent strike in Helena of the Cooks & Walters Union
(AFL) brought out into the daylight some facts the people
should know. 1t also furnished some facts from which labor
can draw conclusions and learn a lesson.
The cooks of Helena asked for one dollar per day, or l2l2c
per hour increase, and the walters asked for fifty cents per day,
or 6Lc per hour increase. This was not at all unreasonable.

stopped from taking a heavier toll only
by the fact that mass pressure forced
a Democratic President to speak up
on som important issues. AS, 1t was,
however, what New Deal social legis'
lation they did not wreck, they left
to wither on the vine. INTENDED and
unfed bv the COP control of federal

Flexing long unused muscles, the
Republicans occupied themselves in
their seven months of legislative pow
err with rebuilding their party and its
philosophy of government. Every act
was predicated on how it will look to
the voters in l9iS-and the COP still
assumes it is operating on a phOny
mandate given it by the November

come from some Of the other chief
accomplishments Of this congress.
With consumer prices soaring to
record heights in every store and
shop, congress under its Republican
leadership sat back and watched them
zoom. This. the COP said. was as it
should be because the Natl. Assn. Of
Manufacturers promised that with
price control dead, prices would find
their normal levels.
Although the nation sorely needs a
housing program to meet an acute
shortage, the COP congress preferred
to let free enterprise have its fling,
and the well-heralded Taft-Ellender-
Wagner housing bill just ~squeaked
through a senate committee to end up
langnishing on the calendar. Instead

Canadian Precedent

DR.. Charles A Molleur, Montreal
physician, was sentenced to be hanged
for murder in the death of 23-year-
old woman on whom he performed an
abortion.
The short, gray-haired doctor, 63,
was convicted by jury and Justice
Wilfrid Lazure Immediately passed
the death sentence, saying the law
left him no alternative.
The defense plans to file an appeal.
The murder conviction is one of the
first-if not the first-in such a case
in Canada's criminal courts.
Donning the traditional black gloves
and tri-corner hat, the judge told the
physician he had had fair trial.
- Il am sorry to have to condemn you
to DEATH" he said.p ''The jury has
recommended clemency, but when the
verdict is guilty of murder, such a
recommendation cannot be taken into
consideration.
"Ten years ago you were acquitted
before me on charge of abortion and
on that occasion l warned you against
continuing such practices You did not
heed my advice e. you have nobody
to blame but yourself"
Asked by the court if he had any
thing to say before sentence was i'm
posed, Dr. Molleur shouted: "I'm tell
ing you. You are wrong. You ar
wrong"
