OF such magnitude that IL will
bring undreamed OF misery and ma
tional suicide, then democracy Is
just an empty word.
Let me express my thanks also
for your fight on communism and
your constant fight for govern
ment according to the Constitu-
ton, without entangling alliances
that George Washington warned
us against In plain unforgettable
language.
On many other issues 1 have dis
agreed with you but you deserve
the wholehearted gratitude of all
liberty loving Americans who love
America first, last and always.
Sincerely,
Your friend,
Miss CECILE DOWNING.

information that he would not ac-
cept an award from state which
treated its citizens in brutal
fashion.
He then returned TO his plane
and took off for Breslau. In a hit
of anger. Hitler cabled the Ger

Soviet plane disguised as a Nazi
fighter and bearing decorations
similar to those of Moelders' plane
was planning to land at the base
in about an hour.
ORDERED SHOT DOWN
The plane should be shot down
while landing. the fuehrer ordered.
Moelders zoomed in for the
landing. The Breslau antiaircraft
batteries opened fire. The man
who had shot down more enemy
planes than even the great Baron
Won Richtofen crashed in flames,
victim of his respect for the
servants of a church in a land
where religious freedom cannot be
tolerated.
Although the accident" version
was the official one, reliable
sources in Berne estimate that rs
per cent of the German people
have heard - and believe - the
story that Moelders died because
of the fuehrer's order.

on top of all this, the next project in mind by
the Treasury will take additional $6oo0o0o0oo
in taxes. Probably tax on spending and
regulations enforcing savings will be included in the
new bill.
Already we are paying increased taxes on liquor,
tobacco other Injuries
All in all, these taxes spell greatly reduced
standard OF living for all Americans.
At the time, with the Federal tax load
becoming increasingly heavy already almost at the
breaking point, local governments facing a field
of shrinking Alaska. due to expected de-
creases in gold mining, fishing, liquor revenues is
going to have hard time making both ends meet.
The problem of revampng the Territory's budget
without attempting to throw the entire load on the
already overburdened Alaskan will be something for
the l943 Territorial Legislature to work out.
This should not be year for launching new
and expensive ventures the part of the Territory
