American industrial leaders don't

Native fascist elements in big

Indictment I Shows
Nozi Propaganda

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (FP)-
Here are the lies used by the 20
indicted seditionists in their propa-
ganda blitzkrieg against the armed
forces, according to the indictment
handed down by a federal grand
jury Jan. 3. Their oral, written and
printed statements faithfully mod
eled on Joseph Goebbel's technique,
included like these:
l. Democracy is decadent; ma
tional socialist or fascist form If
government should be established
in the United States.
2. The government of the U. S.,
the congress and public officials
are controlled by communists, in
ternational Jews and plutocrats.
3. The activities and territorial
acquisitions and plans of the Axis
powers constitute no real danger
to the national existence and Sc
curity Of the U. S. or any of its
territorial possessions.
A. The Axis powers are fighting
to free the world from domination
by communism and international
Jewry, and to save Christianity,
hence the u. S. should give no aid
and comfort to the enemies of the
Axis.
5. The present war is a dishon-
est war waged at the expense and
measured in the blood of dollars Of
the people of the U. S. solely for
the benefit of and to insure the
continuance of world domination
by international bankers, "inter-
national capitalists, Monaghan
Jews, communists and interna-
tional Jewry.
6. The Japanese attack upon
Pearl Harbor was deliberately in
vited by the public officials of the
U. S. in order to involve the U. s..
in a foreign war.

Poll Tex VIII
Bor Soldier Vote

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. B. -
(FP) - An official opinion that
Tenessee's recently upheld poll tax
law would effectively bar members
of the armed forces from voting
was made here by State Atty Gen.
Roy II. Beeler.
Beeler said an amendment to
either the state or federal constl-
tuition would be necessary to per-
nit Tennessee soldiers and sailors
to participate in the next presiden-
tial election.
The statement by Beeler is
significant because U. S. Kenneth
McKellar CD is planning to con-
fer with Gov Prentice Cooper
(D) here on the possibility of call
ing a special session of the legis-
lature to deal with the soldier
vote issue.
McKellar has opposed applica-
tion of the voting privilege to
soldiers on national scale by
congressional action.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (Ffg
Declaring that 1914 can bring VIC
tory in the European theatre, Owl
chief Elmer Davis, in a New
Years eve radio address, singled
out the defeatist Patterson-McCor-
mick press for giving aid to the
enemy in similar editorials Dec. 80.
The N. Y. Daily News and
Washington Times Herald, edi-
torializing on Gen. Dwight Eisen-
hower's prediction of victory n
1914, provided everyone does his
full duty, called that an alibi in
case allied military plans go
wrong. People are only human,
said the editorials, intimating it
was Utopian to expect people 20
do their full duty.
ut is worth remembering" said
Davis, chat the Times-Herald was
also one of the newspapers-the
other was the Chicago Tribune
which three days before Pearl
Harbor published to the world the
plans by which our Army proposed
to fight if there had to be war.
THE enemy, who was already
nearing Pearl Harbor for that
sneak attack, must have been
grateful for that information; as
he will certainly be grateful for
this endeavor by the Patterson
Mccormick press to undermine
confidence in our military leader
ship. Most of us, looking at Gen
eral Eisenhower's record, will be
likely to have more confidence in
his plans"

welcome in the marble halls Of
Washington.
In their all out effort to dis
credit organized labor, the NAM
and their hirelings have even at
tackled the patriotism of labor
leaders. For instance Pegler has
taken few examples where labor
leaders have been granted defer
ments and written them up as
absolute proof that anyone who
works for Union is a draft
dodger and a cowardly traitor.

granted deferments were entitled
to them or not | do not know, but

If Pegler ever gets paid to dis
credit the medical profession he
would say that DR.. so and so is an
abortionist and dope peddler there
fore all doctors must be abortion

group come along and offer him
a fat fee to take off on the legal
profession he can no doubt find
a few shysters and ambulance
chasers and draw his usual logical
CD conclusion that all lawyers
must by profession be shysters
and ambulance chasers.
All this adds up to this. Some

the war is over, if private indus

president Roosevelt has tradi-

present Congress has witnessed
the most violent and continuous
attacks ever made on labor and

Flags Congress
"The failure of Congress to con-
troll initiation has been a scandal
and a disgrace" he continues.
Acting chiefly under the pressure
of the so-called farm bloc, which is
really made up mostly of big busi-
nessmen and profiteering middle
men masquerading as farmers,
Congress has Systematically Grip
pied all effective efforts to hold
down the cost of living, and has
opened the door wide to a really
dangerous initiation"
Murray characterizes the Po-
litical Action Committee, which
already has held conferences in
Philadelphia, Birmingham, Dallas,
Minneapolis, Detroit, Seattle, San
Francisco Los Angeles and Cincin-
natl, as the first American organ
ization to be founded "to protect

fully shoulder his burden. But eacr
worker owes it to himself and his
family, and your government
wants you to do this also, to take
advantage of every available de-
duction and exemption. This re-
quires the help of tax expert.
Many Overpaid Taxes
1t is most important in view OF
the recent Treasury Department
announcement that 100000
wage earners would be overpaid or
their 1943 income because of pay
as you go. This bears out predic-
ton of the writer, made when the
act was enacted, that wage earn
ers in the bracket between $1,000
and $4,000 per year would be over
paid. 1t is this writer's opinion
that a properly prepared return
can save a wage Garner between
$35 and $100.
A taxpayer cannot claim to be
overpaid unless his return shows
it. The return will not disclose it
unless it is carefully made out
after considering every available
deduction and exemption allowed.
And the taxpayer will not get his
refund in cash or as credit
against the other taxes unless he
shows it and claims it on his re-
turn.
Who Must File
Every single person who earned
$500 or more in 1943, or who earn
ed less than $500 in 1943, but $500
or more in 1912 must file a return.
Every person without spouse,
even if the person formerly had
one and even if the person has
other dependents, is considered
single for the above purpose. Ev-
cry married person who, individn-
ally or together with his mate,
earned $1,000 or more in l943, or
less in 1943 but 1900 or more in
1912, must file a return. A married
person must have lived with his or
her spouse some time during the
year 1943 to be considered mar
ried Otherwise, he or she must
file as single person.
If one of the spouses is in the
military service and they were
separated the entire year on that
account, both come under the mar
ried person classification.
Two Forms Available
Two forms are available upon
which to make returns. lO4O is the
regular or long form and is now
four pages long. 1O40A is the So
called short form and has grown
from the five lines of last year to
a full page.
The short form may be used by

serving on the panel, and that the
doctor could accept or reject the
patient as he saw fit.
Stating that "such bill as the
! Wagner bill was bound to come" "
Mr.. Pecord said: 81 predict
with great deal of confidence
that medical care, disqualification
and all that go with these items
will be made available to the peo-
pie of this country sooner or
! later"
Pecord stated that the objections
to the bill based on its cost of ad-
ministration were false, and prov
ed that the cost of administering
private casualty and insurance
companies under private owner
ship and operation were nearly
twice that which the administra-
tion of the Wagner bill would cost.
Mundy States Case
In his talk objecting to the
Wagner bill, DR.. Mundy brought
out many of the objections that
had been answered beforehand by
Mr.. Pecord's talk. He objected to
what he termed "federalizing"
medicine, and stated that instead
Of raising the standards Of the
medical profession, the bill would
lower them. He said that the pa
tient-physician relationships which
were built up under private medi-
cine would be ruined, and that the
incentive would be taken out of
medicine.
DR.. Mundy objected to the cost
of the bill, which he said would
amount to between II and rs bill
lion dollars. He cited many Of the
objections which have been brought
out by the National Physicians
Committee of Chicago, which sup
plies the medical profession with
the arguments against the Wagner
bill
Audience Is Favorable
Following the talks by DR..
Mundy and Mr.. Pecord, there WAS
discussion period between the
participants and the audience. All
indications pointed to the majority
of the audience being in favor Of
the Wagner bill, with DR.. Mundy
receiving the brunt of the ques-
tions and statements made by.
members Of the audience.
One member of the audience
asked Mr.. Pecord, "If labor is so
anxious to see the medical profess
sion federalized, why do they OBJ
ject to the same thing for them
selves ?" Pecord's answer was that
'labor unions are for the benefit

cal profession is supposed to be
