PROCESS TAXES
FACE MILK

Processing taxes on milk
throughout the country may be
instituted by the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration as a
means of raising revenue to give
dairy farmers the benefit of a
proposed fund of 100000, 900, to
be distributed among dairy and
beef-cattle producers.
Although the exact figures for
the taxation have not been
worked out, it is understood that
a levy of about two cents a pound
on butterfat may be inaugurated.
In terms of fluid milk, this would
be about eight cents a hundred
weight, or one-eighth of a cent a
quart.
AAA officials were quick to ex-
plain that everything possible
would be done to procure for
farmers the full benefits of such
taxation, but observers within the
farm agency have fears that un-
less the tax is hitched to market
ing agreements milk distributors
might pass on the tax either to
the public or back to the farmer.

CHURCH KILLING
LEADS To TRAIL
Of INTRIGUE
Police Check History of Old
Sect in Hunt for Hidden
Motive for Staying

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 G.N.S),
New York detectives are delving
into the most puzzling of inter-
national political problems left
by the war and the Treaty OF
Versailles in trying to arrive at
the motive which led to the as
Sassination Of Archbishop Leon
Tourian. primate Of the Armen-
ian Church in America.
They are also looking into the
history Of one of the oldest OF
Christian churches in an en-
deavor to understand this un-
parallel crime.

And they are investigating
with great thoroughness the his
tory Of Tashnag, a revolution

Armenia is a small, mountain.

imaginary line in the Caucasus
between the Black and Caspian
Seas that divided Europe from
Asia. It was there that Noahs'
ARK landed, according to the
Bible.
Gregory the Illuminator, one of
the early fathers Of the church,
converted the King of Armenia
in 261 A. D. and from day on the
Armenian church has been indie
pendent both of Constantinople
and Rome, although it sent dele
gates to Nice and other creed
making councils
This church now has more than
100000 adherents in Mort h
America.
Oppose Russians
The Armenians hailed the Rus
sian revolution with joy and
Lenin as their savior. Then in
the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Lenin
signed away all claim to them
allowing them to be returned to
the ministrations of the Turks.
That is why American Arme-
mans, although their country has
since become one of the Soviet
republics and thereby enjoyed its
first measures of prosperity since
1912, hate Russia.
On October 2, at Armenian Day
at the Century of Progress in
Chicago, a group Of Tashnag men
walked forward to the platform
where Archbishop Tourian was
speaking and planted the red,
blue and orange flag.
The archbishop said he could
not go on speaking until the flag
was removed. That sealed his
doom.

5 STATES JOIN
HUNT IN CLERIC
DEATHPROBE:
Aid New York in Search for
PIotters as Five Suspected
Armenians Stay in Jail

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 Q.N.S0.
With five members of a secret
Armenian revolutionary society
in Jail without bail for the
Staying of Archbishop Leon Tou-
rian last Sunday as he marched
in a religious procession at the
Holy Cross Armenian Apostolic
Church, the hunt for other mem-
bers of the society today spread
to five other States.
At least one man other than
the five held, Assistant District
Attorney Joseph Cohn said. par
ticipated in the assassination.
This man, he said, is also be-
ieved to be a member of the
Tashnag the secret revolution
ary group.
States Aid Asked
AS many as 20 members Of
the Tashnag may have been pres
ent in the church when the
archbishop was knitted to death
almost at the foot of the altar,
Cohn said.
In an effort to round up all
members of the group for ques-
tioning, authorities of Massachu-
setts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania
have been asked to cooperate
with New York authorities.
Ramifications of the Tashnag
extend into all these States,
Assistant Chief Inspector John
]. Sullivan said, and it is
thought the wielder of the knife
may have fled New York to
seek refuge with fellow conspira-
tors.
BY Councils Orders
At Union City, N. j., Mihra
Aslamian, said to be high in the
councils of the Tashnag, which
opposed the inclusion of Armenia
as a part Of the Soviet Republic
and sought to restore the old
Armenian republic, was ques-
toned.
Another suspect was reported
in custody. ASlamian, police
said, admitted being present in
the church last Sunday, but
denied any knowledge Of the cir
cumstances surrounding the MUIR
der.
According to Cohn, the mem
bers of the Tashnag who attend
ed the Sunday services had been
selected by an inner council of
the society to assassinate the
archbishop and drew lots to de-
termine who would carry out the
councils orders.

G.N.SO.-Walter Reppin. 18-year-
old Newark, New Jersey, youth
condemned to die in the Colorado
lethal gas chamber for the death
of Vincent Regan, Colorado
Springs taxi driver, today pleaded
with Warden Roy Best that his
life be spared.
Reppin called the warden into
conference in the death house
and asked him to write C. W.
Dolphs, his attorney. of Colorado
Springs and his aunt, Mrs. Emma
Birmbum, of Newark, N. j., to
make strenuous efforts to keep
him from death next week.
Until Christmas day, Reppin
had said he would rather die
than spend his life in prison. His
vigorous change Of mind came
suddenly.
Reppin fears the new kind of
death with a horror that makes
pins of fire of his beady, closely
set eyes. He has learned that
tests are to be made Of the new
device this week and keeps asking
if they have been held and how
they have come out.
Reppin has assumed a deeply
religious attitude, reading Bible
avidly, more SO than any con-
demned man in recent years. He
declared that most people take
up religion to prepare for death,
but he has taken it up and
gained deep desire to live.
