DOCTORS LAUD ARTHUR BROWN

Banker Congratulated for 20th Term as Hospital Board President.

The Medical Advisory Council of Methodist Hospital today voted con _ gratulations to Arthur V. Brown upon his recent re-election for the 20th year as president of the hospital’s Board of Trustees. The advisory council is composed of 50 surgeons and physicians. Members signed a letter of appreciation to Mr. Brown at a luncheon . meeting at the Columbia Club. “Your re-election,” says the letter in part, “pays a worthy tribute to you in which we gociors happily . concur.” The letter cited the increase in in-patient enrollment from 7000 in

1921 to 24,000 in 1939 and cited as “remarkable” the reduction of the average stay per patient from 19 days in 1921 to 83% days in 1939. . This, the council declared, . “no doubt is due to larger facilities and greater efficiency which your leadership has helped to accomplish.”

Mr. Funk outlined his Platform as follows: - 1. Enforce all laws fairly upon all citizens alike. . 2. Protect the innocent from unjust prosecutions. 3. Select a staff of competent deputies. 4, Investigate all matters with a public interest in order that crimes be prevented prior to their occurrence. 5. Prosecute law violations speed-
