Branigan's Associates Cite
Mrs. Keidan's Appointment
In Ur)ging His Re-elegtion

Appointment of Mrs. Harry B.
Keidan, widow of the late Judge
_Harry B. Keidan, as the first
Jewish Chief Deputy County
Clerk by County Clerk Edgar M.
Branigin is recalled by Branigan's
friends who urge his retention in
office, on the Democratic ticket,
at the Sept. 14 primaries and the
November election.
Albert A. Berger and Rena
Flayer, Deputies County Clerk,
who are among Branigan's six
Jewish assistants, point out that
as a newspaper man, lawyer, ef-
ficient executive and former U.S.
Navy officer, their chief deserves
to be retained in the office to
which he was appointed by 18
Circuit Court Judges in 1947 to
succeed the late Caspar Linge-
man.
