OFFER
Mr.. Samuel Harden Church,
The Carnegie Institute,

Dear Samuel:
have read your offer of a million
smackers for the capture of Adolf
Hitler and in reply l would state
that the proposition interests me.
But do not like the way you empha-
size the part about his being caught
"alive, unwounded and unhurt."
What about me?
However, it is a novel idea and
the most original business proposal
of a decade. / know of no cash Of
fer like it since the depression and
it is good to know there is man in
this country who knows where to
get million dollars these days.
For that much money there are peo-
pie who would do anything. The big
drawback is that Hitler has got such
big start, and / don't think it
sporting to limit the offer to May.
This is pretty short notice for grab
bling a guy who has been on the
loose so long, and besides, May is a
hard month for the capturing BUSH
ness on account Of the birds and
bees and little green things furnish
ing so much distraction from any
pursuit. Could you extend the time

And are you serious about the

Are you willing to stretch point?
/ mean would it be okay If Adolf is
brought in with little mouse over

missing? It would be a helluva note
if I catch him and you rule the
capture illegal just because he
says that his back hurts him or
something.
Who is going to judge whether he
is hurt or not? I want good ref
cree as I have a bunch that Adolf

test" and he may insist that he is in
terrible condition instead of being
unchanged and as good as new. In
fact I think you should stretch a
point and say that if he is warped
a little in transit the cash offer will
still stand.
And about the idea of trying him.
I do not want any part of that. If
I deliver him it is up to you and
Pittsburgh to run the trial. I am
taking no chances on trials. All he
would have to do would be to get a
good lawyer to say that he wasn't
quite clear mentally. Then there
would be the old business of get
ting the psychiatrists to ask him a
lot of questions and then report he
was clearly victim of the fact
his folks made him eat lettuce with
out sugar in his boyhood or some
thing. He would get put on proba-
ton and in no time would be on

COMMUNISTS FIGHT LABOR
PEACE

We deplore the fact that Commu-
nists have attained positions of infiu-
ence and power in labor organizations
not affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. And we are encour-
aged by increasing evidence that the
loyal workers in the rebel movement
are getting disgusted with Communist
leadership and are fighting to get rid
of it. That is good news not only for
patriotic reasons but because the
sooner Communist influence is eradi-
Gated from the dual movement, the
sooner labor peace can be restored.
From the beginning, the Communist
Party has aided and abetted discord
and strife and done it's utmost to pre-
vent unity in the labor movement
