III. 5. Income Taxes

( The immense task of handling
federal tax collections was thumb,
sketched Thursday noon by Harry
C. Westover, collector in charge of
the Sixth district Of the internal
revenue department.
Westover, formerly a judge in
the superior court, is visiting the
El Centre office in connection with
enlarging it to be major zone
office.
More than 100000 tax returns
were handled by the Los Angeles
office, Westover said, and these will
come to more than two million he
said. Some l,5O0 employees are
necessary in the sixth district which
includes all of California south of
San Luis Obispo.
Stressing that most people have
no resentment against paying taxes
but object only to the time and
work involved in preparing of re-
turns, the speaker declared that
many people give freely of thou
sands of dollars out of an intense
desire to help the war. He cited
many cases of such voluntary gifts.
Judge Westover was presented by
w. C. Foss. chairman of the day
and many members of the revenue
service were present as guests of
Rotarians.
Robert Smith, theater manager,
was presented by Ken Thornton as
new Rotarian. President Earle
c.. Davis presided at the business
session.

ITALIAN STOP-OvER

(Christian Science Monitor)
When the first attacks were made on
the Italian mainland by the Allied forces,
this newspaper and o her observers
pointed out that Italy was geographi
cally a blind alley. If the Allies drove
northward far enough they would come
up against the Alps. Italy did not look
like the road to Berlin.
The stalemate there is a disappoint-
ment, nevertheless, despite the fact that
it seems to have been accepted by Allied
military leaders because of questions of
grand strategy rather than because OF
the acknowledged difficulty of dislodg-
ing the Nazis from Casino. The disap-
pointment might have been avoided, and
so might possible unfavorable political
reactions on the Continent had the AL
lies not seemed to commit themselves to
the capture of Rome. However. their
drive on that capital may have been the
only bid which would have diverted heavy
German forces from operations else
where.
Even at this moment, and with War
Secretary Stimson frankly, indeed almost
ostentatiously, admitting that the simple
fact is that the Germans stopped us" the
Italian campaign must be written on the
credit side of the Allied ledgers. The
fall of Mussolini, the disruption of Fas-
cism. the knocking of Hitlers most i'm
portant satellite out of the war, the ac-
uuisition of air bases for raiding the
Nazi bastille from the south-these are
all tremendous political and military
assets.
If they are not to be capitalized as ex-
pected that is because greater things
are to be undertaken elsewhere. One
wonders, in fact, whether Mr.. Stimson's
observation could have been even franker
whether he might not just as truly
have said, as member of top Allied
councils, "They stopped our left hand

Warren Pardons
Former Filler

SACRAMENTO April 7-(UP)-
, Gov. Earl Warren announced he
has granted a pardon to Robert
Dale Toltschin, Long Beach, SER
geant pilot in the ferrying div
isicn of the air transport command,
on his conviction of grand theft
in Los Angeles in 1923.
Warren said he understood the
pardon would make Toltschin, a
former RCAF flying officer, eligible
for U. S. army commission. Tolt-
schin served less than two years
on the grand theft conviction and
was released from parole supervis-
ion in 1882.
Other pardons were granted to
Oliver Earl Hoover, 81, navy beat
swain's mate, convicted of rob-
berry in San Bernardino county in
1881; John Holt, robbery, Los An
geles county, 1881, Abraham Stru-
mengher, robbery, San Francisco,
1916 and Fred Cooper, robbery, Sis
kiyou county, 1880.
CommutationS of sentence were
granted to Jesse Elicit, Ukiah, and
Elmer Wock Wal, Oroville. Both
were sentenced to life for murder
and the combinations permit their
release from parole.

1t is sometimes difficult to follow con-
flicting estimates regarding German NOR
ale One report will say the German peo-
ple are determined to carry on with the
war; another report will state the re-
verse.
Perhaps George Axelsson's dispatch
from Stockholm to the New York Times
explains the conflict in opinion. He in
terviewed a Swedish business man just
back from a business trip to Berlin, and
records this Interpretation of what the
man from Sweden learned in Germany:
"His impression is that the whole
southern reich is violently anti-nazl and
anti-war. Evacuees sent there from the
north have rough time. Prussian nazls
have been sent down to attempt to
smooth the relations between the north
erners and southerners but get little
results. The business man thinks north
Germany is still strong for continuing the
war;
It NAV be that there are sections OF
Germany which want to throw in the
sponge while the rest of the country in
tends to fight it out.

Injunction Sought
Against Hotch Act

Washington (FP). = Attacking the
constitutionality of Section 9(a) of the
Hatch act, which prohibits government
employees from engaging in political
management or political campaigns,
the United Federal Workers have filed
suit in L. s. District Court seeking an
Injunction against the Civil Service
Commission.
Attorney Lee PreSSman will repre-
sent the union in the case, asking the
court TO restrain the Civil Service
Commission from denying federal
workers their rights of free speech and
asSembage. Sections of the Hatch act
barring government workers from us
ing their official positions TO influence
elections and prohibiting the employ
ment OF disloyal individuals in the
federal service are not being contested.
Secretary-Treasurer Eleanor Nelson
of UFW said: We are firmly CON
vinced that there is more danger of
reverting to the old spoils system if
government employees have no politi-
cal rights than if they are permitted
TO take active and informed part in
the selection of national and local
candidates for Office"

| Washington (FP). = AS the federal
government moved into the eighth
week of the trial of American fascists
here June 2, the pattern of the case
began to take FORM.
BY putting aside the long and loud
objections and screwball antics of the
attorneys and forgetting about the
legal hocus pocus that is really mean
| ingless and meant simply as headline
material for the defense, this is the
picture.
The government is beginning to link
native fascists with the German Ameri-
can Bund, Hitler's No. l organization
i'm America.
The American Gentle Protection
Association was the first of these ma
to be tied to the Bund. Mrs. Lois L.
de Lafayette, the Associations leader,
was a featured speaker before the
Bund groups in the late 1905 said
Peter Gissibl, former Bund leader in
Chicago, and Il government witness.
w 1Illd LII ~ u " It CiiCN - tiiNtt
Shirts, who have spearheaded the EN-
ployer's fights on many labor fronts,
were next listed by the witness.
Silver Shirt speakers, said Gissibl,
frequently appeared on Bund rostrums.
And Bundists often addressed Silver
Shirt gatherings. Other nation hot
beds of fascist work will be similarly
connected.
Documents and witnesses are bit by
bit establishing t he governments
charge that the NaZis were engaged in
a world conspiracy to overthrow
democracy and establish fascist gov
ernments everywhere.
The Government is first linking the
20 defendants with this world con-
spiracy through the Bund. Other links
with the Nazis are to be presented to
the jury later.
Letters from Nazi agents in Ger
many and America have already been
given to the jury. They disclose:
THAT the Bund was set up by
Hitler's representatives with the help
of German funds.
2-That the Bund-made UP nOmin-
ally of American citizens of German
extraction after 1936-continued to
VOW fealty to Hitler as the great
Fuehrer of all Germans"
More sensational, however, will be
the evidence against the native fas-
cists, which is beginning.
Defense hoodlum tactics have large
ly abated as result of Justice Ed
ward c. Eicher's heavy fines of attor-
neys for contempt of court and his
