BROSTUEN DD NOT |[-—aramnemrbms [LABOR CHEF HOPES | TO ABSENT VOTERS Republican Chairman Surpris- ed When Shown Copy of Mail Attributed to Him Statement that he did not author- {ze and is not responsible for a letter’ apparently sent out over his name re- cently was made here Wednesday by John K, Brostuen, Republican state chairman and manager of the Wel- ford-for-Governor headquarters here during the political campaign. The letter, apparently sent to all persons in the state who voted an ab- sent voters’ ballot, asked for informa- tion about use of that ballot. It was signed with Brostuen’s name and en- closed with the questionnaire was & return envelope, addressed to Bros- tuen. The first inkling he had that such a letter had gone out was received by him Tuesday night when he was shown @ copy of the letter in a Bis- marck hotel. Makes Statement Brostuen’s statement follows: “My attention has been called to a letter purported to have been sent out by myself to all those voters of the state who voted by absent voters’ bal- los in the last general election. “T wish to make this statement: “I had no knowledge of the exist- ence of any such letter until last eveing when a copy was handed to me by a friend in the lobby of the Patterson hotel. “The signature on the letter is not my signature. No one has ever con- ferred with me at any time in con- nection with this matter, nor has anyone secured my permission to use my name in sending out any such letter. Has Been Silent Since “As far as I am personally con- cerned, the campaign with which I was connected closed at 12 o'clock, midnight, on Nov. 2, and since that time I have made no public state- ment, written no letter, nor said or. done anything politically whatsoever up to this time. “I have accepted the result of the election cheerfully, without regrets and without rancor or ill feeling to- ward a living soul. “T feel it is not necessary for me to make any public statement pledging my support to the incoming admin- istration. That support will follow as & matter of course and in conformity with good citizenship. “North Dakota today is facing the greatest crisis in its entire hstory, a crisis that calls upon the best in all of us and upon the best efforts of all of us to meet and beat the crisis in @ sane, orderly and constructive way. Work Enough Ahead : “There is work enough ahead for all of us and there will be glory enough ahead for all of us if we join hands and do that work efficiently and well. “My hand is always open and will- ing to do its little share in anything that is for the best interests of North Dakota and all its people.” Brostuen said he left Bismarck early on the morning of Nov. 3 to go home to vote and did not return to Bismarck until Monday when he came back to attend the final session of the tax survey commission, of which he is chairman, Meantime, he said, he had no communication with anyone regarding the letter which went out signed with his name.

PLAYERS OFFERING ‘80'S DRAMA HIT New Male Quartet Will Make Appearance in Entre Act; Play Has Strong Cast The thrills, chills and heart throbs’ of the old-fashioned melodrama, dripping with pathos, humor and the moral lesson which theatergoers of the eighties enjoyed to the last curse of the villain, will be returned to the stage of the city auditorium Thurs- day and Friday nights when the Bis- marck Community Players present “Among the Breakers,” record-break- ing vehicle of that period. The play, under the direction of Emery T. Putnam, is the climax of the Players’ first Little Theater week which opened in the city Monday. Set in the frugal home of a light- housekeeper on a bleak New England coast, the play deals with the moral retribution of the keeper, which in- volves the lives of the entire cast be fore he rights his wrongs. The foil- ing of his attempt at murder during a midnight storm, and later when his conscience is stricken by the prophe- sying words of an old witch, are high- lights of the evening. Special light- ing and sound effects have been worked out by the technical staff for this portion of the production, Many New Faces A cast of ten, seven of whom have never appeared in a Player sproduc- tion, carry roles in this old-time play. Leonard French, cast as the keeper, David Murray, scored considerable success as Judas in “Behold the Man” presented by the Cathedral Players last spring. Opposite French is Miss Edith Ramstad in the role of Mother Carey, the witch, a heavy character portrayal. Miss Ramstad will be a welcome addition to Bismarck stage talent, for her work in previews of the current production well illus- trates the training she secured dur- ing two years in the Hollywood Com- munity theater, Hollywood, Calif. Another of the newcomers is Ed- ward Stubbs, cast as @ nosy newspaper reporter an whose lightning lines and odd wit much of the humor is car- tied. Stubbs has appeared in pro- ductions of the Boise (Idaho) Play- makers before coming to Bismarck. Miss Genevieve LaFrance assists THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1936 COURTS WILL NOTE DESIRE OF PEOPLE Strong Union Movement Need- ed to Develop Labor Stan- dards, Perkins Says Tampa, Fla., Nov. 18.—(#)—George 1, Berry, coordinator for industrial cooperation, told the American Fed- eration of Labor Wednesday he be+ Ueved the supreme court would recog- nize the November election as a “mandate” for “maintenance of liber- alism in the United States.” Berry said he hoped the supreme court “will adjust itself to the will of the people,” adding he “ventured we will find a legal way of furthering Uiberalism in this country if there are further reversals.” “I know that the constitution grew out of oppression and was never in- tended to work'against human prog- Tess in this great nation,” he declared. Perkins Cites Needs A national living wage, continuity of income, stability of employment, reasonable profits and “guidance for the conservation and maximum utiliz- ation of natural resources” were named by Secretary of Labor Perkins in another speech as comprising a formula for progress. Miss Perkins said, however, that labor's interests cannot be attained by legislation alone. 5 “A strong union movement is es- sential to the development of labor standards,” the secretary declared. “Union organization gives strength and practical wisdom to the forma- tion and enforcement of legislative programs.” Peace Moves Broached Gaining momentum was a middle- of-the-road plan for saving the fed- eration’s face and avoiding an open schism in labor's ranks. It called for delegate approval of the executive council’s suspension of the CIO unions but for leaving in status quo the question of expelling the reb- els from the AFL. President William Green lent his support publicly Tuesday to this moye of labor's calmer chieftains, Pacifist Will Refuse Nobel’s Peace Prize Oslo, Norway, Nov. 18.—()—The Aftenposten said Wednesday it un- derstood Karl von Ossietzky, cele- brated pacifist who has been released after three years confinement in Ger- man concentration camps, would re- fuse the Nobel peace prize which he is understood to have been voted.

RARM TENANCY Government Hopes to Aid Soil Tillers to Once Again Own Land They Work Washington, Nov. 18.—()—A huge plan to lift part of the nation’s 2,800,- 000 tenant farmers and sharecroppers into the ranks of independent land lowners appeared Wednesday to be headed for congressional action. Secretary Wallace and a committee named by the president to draft a pro- Sram face a situation that has drawn caustic criticism of experts for half a century. In_ 1880 there were 3,000,000 Ameri- ‘can farm owners and 1,000,000 tenants. Last year tenants numbered 2,800,000 —a gain of 180 per cent—while owners totaled 3,900,000—an increase of only 32 per cent, The oldest reason for this trend, i | One for Percolgtor government experts said, was the “e- bacco and cotton crop system of the south with large plantations and need for cheap labor. The depression of 1920 and the crash of 1929, with their foreclosures and liquidation, converted many farm own- ers into tenants. Most administration leaders hove gavocated purchase of good farm laid with federal funds, Selected would be established on small paying for the land over 30 oF years. N. D.
