Tell your druggist to sell you bottle of Creomulsion with the understanding you must like the way it quickly allays the cough or you are By KERMIT McFARLAND Democratic chairman of the 32 cities, boroughs and townships in the Thirty-third Congressional District will meet Friday night to recommend a candidate for Congress.

Republicans and Democrats both will choose candidates for the seat in Congress recently vacated by Common Pleas Judge Samuel A. Weiss. The vacancy will be filled by a special election in the district to be held on the same day as the spring primary May 21. At least seven candidates are in the running for the Democratic nomination, which actually will be made by the executive committee of the Democratic State Committee. However, the recommendation of the 32 local chairmen undoubtedly will be accepted.

Candidates Listed The list of candidates includes: Thomas Buchanan, defeated last November for re-election as Mayor of McKeesport, now Democratic chairman of McKeesport. George B. Democratic leader of Braddock and an employe of the County Park Department. Ralph Whitehead of Elizabeth an assessor for the County Board of Property Assessment, Appeals Review. J.

P. Moran of Turtle Creek, a member of the State Legislature since 1935. a machinist at the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Co. Thomas Heatherington of Eden Park, a legislator since 1941, a foreman in the County Parks Department, burgess of Eden Park. James Duffy, Democratic chairman of East Pittsburgh, superintendent of tunnels for the County.

Daniel Lapp, president of Homestead Borough Council, a member of the Board of Managers for the County Workhouse, a supervisor at the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. Several Ballots Required It is expected that several ballots will be required before the local chairmen make their recommendation. The Democrats follow a procedure of requiring the lowest man in the balloting to drop out, thus averting a prolonged deadlock. The ultimate nominee of the Democrats undoubtedly also will seek the nomination for a full term at the same primary. Includes Many Townships The district comprises the Thirty-first Ward (Hays) of Pittsburgh, Clairton, Duquesne, McKeesport, Braddock, Dravosburg, East McKeesport, East Pittsburgh, Elizabeth, Glassport, Homestead.

Legion Campaigns For Vet Hospitals Adequate hospital facilities for Pennsylvania's veterans approximately 16,000 beds were predicted by James P.

State Commander Murray spoke in Three Hills Post, American Legion, Troy Hill, where he and Department Chaplain Francis Hoffman of Etna, were honor guests of the 32nd district at a testimonial. "Increased hospital facilities are in the making in Philadelphia, Wil-kes-Barre, Harrisburg, Altoona, Erie, Coatesville, Valley Forge, As-pinwall and elsewhere," he said. The American Legion must raise its sights it now has, become the greatest veterans' organization in the world."

Braddock Hospital Fund Drive Widens The appeal to raise $300,000 for improvements at Braddock General Hospitaf will be carried to civic clubs throughout the whole valley district, V. C.

Kolski and George W. McClure, co-chairmen of the clubs and organization committee announced today. Mr. McClure pointed out that case records of the hospital reveal that 63 per cent of all patients are from outside the tri-borough area. The hospital serves an area from Edgewood to the Westmoreland County line.

The appeal will be carried to clubs on the basis that the hospital is a Braddock institution in name only. Since statistics show that approximately one person in ten is hospitalized during a year, Mr. McClure said, the improvements will be of immediate value to one-tenth of the members of each club contacted.
