Jewish Student Killed
By Pro-Peron Police
NEW YORK, (3PS) — Isaac
Sulkin, 21, a Jewish university
student in Buenos Aires, was one
of two men killed when pro-
Peron police fired on a . crowd
that gathered to welcome back
from a campaign-tour of the
provinces, candidates
of the
Democratic Union Party, which
opposes Col. Juan D. Peron in
the Presidential race, Arnaldo
Cortesi, New York Times cor-
respondent, reports.
According to an eyewitness,
Sudkin was standing with other
persons against the wall of the
Buenos Aires railroad station
trying to keep out of the way of
the bullets, when a policeman
deliberately shot him in the chest
at point blank range.
Rudolph Freude, son of Ludwig
Freude, who was decorated by
Hitler and was named in the re-
cent U. S. White Paper on
Argentine as the Number One
Nazi in that country, is the con-
fidential secretary of Col. Peron,
head of the Argentine colonel's
clique, Frank L. Kluckhohn, New
York Times correspondent, re-
ports from Buenos Aires. The
Allies have demanded the depor-
tation of the elder Freude, which,
according to reports, is being
delayed on Colonel Peron's or-
ders. Juan D. Cooke, Foreign
Minister, denied that Peron is
connected with the delay and
blamed it on legal matters.

issued its first policy from a small
office in Montreal. In 1895 — an
important date in the Company's
history—the organization was ex-
tended into the United States where, from coast to
coast, it now maintains a highly efficient branch office
and agency service. The Company's growth is signi-
ficant proof of wide public acceptance. Through three
quarters of a century, during which wars have scarred
the earth, and mighty inventions and discoveries have
altered man's destiny, the Sun Life of Canada has met
successive opportunities, expanding as life and indus-
try took on new shapes and aspects. In 1895—at the
end of the first twenty-five years of operation—the
assurances in force amounted to $35 million. At the
end of fifty years—in 1920—this amount had risen to
$488 million. Today, after seventy-five years of public
service, the Sun Life of Canada holds a leading place
among life assurance companies with well over one
million policyholders, and assurances in force of
$3,390,372,327. The Company's financial strength
and high standard of service are indeed worthy of the
finest traditions of a great time-honored enterprise.
