Son of Communist Earl Browder
Awarded Guggenheim Fellowship
NEW YORK, UP)—In awarding a
fellowship to Dr. Felix Browder,
son of former Communist leader
Earl Browder, the John Simon
Guggenheim Memorial Founda
tion first determined that he is
not and never was a Communist,
the Foundation reported Tuesday.
Dr. Browder, an instructor in
mathematics at Boston University,
is a registered Democrat.
A statement from the Founda
tion said the foundation trustees
were confident that the American
people would agree that Dr.
Browder, “as an able and loyal
young American,” was entitled
“to have his opportunity for de
; velopment.”

College Students Show
Misunderstanding of Basic
Facts Concerning TB
A college in one of our states
with an excellent TB control pro
gram recently administered a
quiz to determine what their stu
dents believe about tuberculosis.
Forty-three students and one in
structor took the test, covering
the simple basic facts about TB.
There were only two perfect
papers. Many were still under the
impression that TB is not conta
gious (it is highly contagious and
passed from person to person);
that TB- is not caused by germs
(TB is caused by a germ, the
tubercle ^bacillus).
Thirty out of forty-four believe
that a sunny dry climate insures
your chances of getting well (it
has been proven that rest, not cli
mate, is the primary factor in
recovery). Others believe that
fresh air and exercise will insure
•a recovery from TB (they are good
for your general health, but will
not prevent TB).
"Some believe that ex-TB’s are
sickly as long as they live (this is
false, for a great number of re
habilitated ex-patients are leading
healthy normal lives). The stu
dents showed their lack of under
standing at TB when they agreed
that the best thing a person can
do is to forget that he has TB
and live the way he wants to, and
that frequent check-ups are not
necessary (TB does affect your
future life. All ex-patients must
be careful of their health and
have frequent check-ups to insure
that they will not break down
aagin).
These students, who showed
such a complete misunderstanding
of the basic facts about tubercul
osis, represent the better educated
section of our population, and are
also our future teachers! If every
teacher in our Alaska schools
would give such a simple quiz to
her pupils, she would find out
where to direct her health educa
tion efforts.

Hotel Recluse Dies,
Leaves $33,7000 To
Her Chambermaid
NEW YORK, U?)—For 15 months
Mrs. Bridget Hennessy, a middle
aged chambermaid from Kilken
ny, Ireland, tidied up the room of
an elderly hotel recluse, shopped
for her and heated food.
Each week there as a tip; it was
always 50 cents—“I used to think
she was not well off,” said Mrs.
Hennessy.
A few days ago the lonely guest
died. She was Mrs. Mary D. D.
Campbell, and she had lived by
herself in the Delmonico' Hotel 20
years. Her name still appeared in
the Social Register.
When the room was searched a
number of bankbooks under sev
eral names, and a hand written
will were found. The will directed
that the bank balances be paid to
those named on the accounts.
The chambermaid’s name was
entered in trust on four of the
boks; one account for $10,000;
another $6,900; $7,000 in the third
and $9,800 in the last. Grand total
$33,700.
Tuesday morning the hotel
housekeeper had a phone call from
Mrs. Hennessy, whose husband is
a city maintenance worker.
“Mrs. Hennessy said that as of
this morning she was no longer a
hotel employe,” reported the
housekeeper, adding in an it
could-happen-to-anyone tone,
“All that money in the will, you
know.”
More Moslems (68,000,000) live
in the Republic of Indonesia than
in any other nation.
