Twenty-Five alleged errors in
the trial of Max Stephan which
resulted in his death sentence for
treason were listed today in an
appeal which his attorneys said
would be filed with the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals in

The attorneys, James McCabe
and Nicholas Salowich, said that
If Judge Arthur j. Tuttles death
sentence is affirmed they would
then appeal to the Supreme Court
and Ito the President if neces-
sary."
The appeal charges that testi-
mony in the trial failed TO prove
an overt act constituting the
crime of treason, that the weight
of evidence failed TO support the
verdict of guilty and did not war
rant the Cruel and unjust sem
tence."
Referring to the testimony of
Oberleutenant Hans Peter Krug,

a sworn enemy of the
United States to testify as a COM
petent witness. and that his testi-
mony should have been STRICKEN

FINALLY RELEASED

Commissioner Hurd finally re-
leased James Middler after his
fourth appearance in court and his
inSiStence that he had been tricked
into signing draft card.
Hurd released Middler on his
promise to return in a month.
Middler earlier had refused to
sign a personal appearance bond.
Middler's trips to and from
Hurd,s court were complicated by
his wife, Jessie, whose tongue
lashings of American courts and
justice formed a stormy accom-
paniment to the proceedings.
, THOUGHT CASE SOLVED
Deputy Marshal Adam Mieci-
kowski believed he had the case
solved when Middler affixed his
signature TO a draft QUESTIONABLE
made out in the marshal's office.
This would have brought his
release from the criminal charge.
. However, after a consultation
with Mrs. Middler, the veteran
factory worker maintained he did
not understand what he had signed.

the state administrative board de-
tense finance committee appeared
a long way off today.
The committee met for more
than an hour with Defense Ad-
ministrator Harold A. Furlong and
nobody could agree on anything
except the entire transaction was
a mess.
Secretary Of State Harry F.
Kelly, chairman. of the committee,
recalled that $i55,000 was voted
for purchase of the bumpers last
March.
NOTHING HAPPENED YET
"And nothing has happened
yet" he said. This IL more
than a matter OF money. This
may mean the loss of human

Long and tedious explanations
brought TO light the fact that one

ordered by the purchasing COM

only last week at total cost of

THE ONLY PANACEA

man who has been a member of one
of the principal old-time labor unions for
26 years, and who is now serving in the
Army, recently protested some of the cur
rent comment on labor. He said that some
writer's are poisoning the public mind
about organized labor and observed that
the union to which he belongs has called
only one strike in more than generation.
That strike was called to obtain the 44-hour
week and was won by the union.
This man has a case. But the unfOT
tunate part of the matter is that labor
racketeerng has cast dark shadow over
the entire labor movement. There are good
unions, of course, There are unions which
have done the working man and the entire
country a tremendous service. There are
unions which fully realize their respon-
siblity to the country in war or peace, they
have accepted the decisions of official ar
bitration bodies. But other, irresponsible
unions have undone much of this good work.
The excuses of few labor leaders have
tarred the entire union movement with the
same brush.
The union man in question said he
hoped that someone will find a panacea
for the wrong impressions being formed IN
the public mind about organized labor.
The only possible panacea is for all UNIONS
all labor leaders, to live up TO the vast pup
lie responsibility which confronts them TO-
day

NEWS is THE THING

One w Shakespeare said, 'The play
the thing and newspaperman may re-
spond, News is the thing"
The Citizens concern is to publish as
much news as it can get, and it always tries
to see that that news is true.
All Of which pertains to the selection
by the Monroe County Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee of Jose Espirosa, or
Smokey joe, as he is known TO many of
his friends
Two or three acutely interested par
ties blatantly declared that The Citizen ran
the stories about the nomination of Els
pinosa in an attempt to brush him out of the
picture.
A thousand times The Citizen has de-
clared it does not play any favorites in the
Family affairs of the Democratic party.
The Citizen was neither against Espinosa
nor for Ray Atwell: The Citizen was mere
ly publishing the news as it occurred. The
Joe just as we'll as he does Atwell, but if
anything of an untOWard nature happens
against Joe in his attempt to get the nOmi-
nation, The Citizen publishes it just the
same as it would publish anything that is
adverse to AtWell's nomination.
Play no favorites: let the best man
win, or, as in this contest, the better man
that is The Citizens policy.
But there are some men who kick like
tickled mule if The Citizen fails TO throw
its weight with their candidate. But let
them kick. The vast majority of Key
Westers know that The Citizen is not play
ing any fiddle, first or second to attract
favorable attention to any man in or out of
political life. The Citizen publishes the
news as true as it is possible 10 obtain it.
and when it errs occasionally the erring is
unintentiOnal
THE NEWS IS THE THING.
