San Francisco, June 22,
Cigarette sales went briskly at the American Medical Association conven- tion hendquarters today despite an American Cancer Society report Indicating a link between smoking and cancer and heart disease.
Tobacco company issties on the New York Stock Exchange dropped sharply today after the report was released to the Aaso- eintion yesterday. Doctors al- tending the national meeting here apparently were puffing away at a normal rate,

"Oh yes, sir, he is my brother. I've been paying his rent, as a matter of fact, while he's been away from home.
Mr Recce nodded approvingly. "My brother," said George's brother, "did have one Jub, you know, is a sandwich-board men, and I must say it for him, he stuck through rain and shine. In rain and shine he stuck it."
