Adolf Viewed
Himself As
a Martyr

NUREMBERG. Dec. 3l-(R-
Adolf Hitler's last political testa-
ment, APPARENTLY prepared as Ber-
lin tottered before the Russian
onslaught, ives revealed today
as q masterpiece Of propaganda
in which he built himself up rs a
martyr and beQueathed to the
German people the Nazi creed
of fierce loyalty to the State and
hatred of the Jews. @
Ks His final admonition was:
above all, ! enjoin the gov
ernment of the nation and the
people to uphold the racial laws
to the limit and resist merciless-
ly the poisoner Of all nations, IN
ternational Jewry."
The testament, dated April 20,
1945. also disclosed that Hitler
expelled Reichsmarshal Her
mann Goering and Gestapo Chief
Heinrich Himmler from the
Nazi ranks for attempting to
seize control of the State and
negotiating with the enemy
without my knowledge"
The text of the political testa-
ment-together with texts of
Hitler's personal will, an appen-
dix to the testament by propa-
ganda minister Paul Joseph
0oebbels and a document re-
cording Hitler's marriage to Eva
Braun-was released yesterday
by Allied authorities.
Hitler's testament indicated
he preferred suicide in Reichs-
Chancellery Bunker to trial be-
fore an Allied court.
II shall not fall into the hands
of an enemy who requires q new
spectacle presented by the Jews
to divert their hysterical mass
es," he said.
Urging Germans to keep alive
the Nazi doctrine, Hitler said
the establishment of q Nation.
al Socialist state represents the
work of centuries to come and
obliges each individual person
always to serve the common In.
terest before his own advant,
age"
THE seed has been sown that
will grow one day in the history
of Germany to the glorious re.
birth of the National Socialist
movement" the document add
ed.
Throughout the testament
Hitler built himself up as a mar.
tyr who wished to join in death
the troops who had fallen on the
battlefield.
II cannot foresake the city
that is the capital of this state,
he said. "' wish to share
my fate with that of millions OF
others. - ! die with q joyful
heart in my knowledge of the
immeasurable deeds and achiev-
ements of our soldiers at the
front, Of our women at home,
the achievements of our peasants

Six Million Dollar Cut
to Result in Spending

900 incentive to expanded busi-
ness activity.
The 1946 Tax law, providing
the first general cut in taxes
since 1929, was written deliber-
ately to encourage spending for
reconversion and high peace
time production.
Federal officials expressed
confidence today that it would
have that effect.
MORE GOODS LIKELY
They forecast too that II
would bring q modest but no.
ticeable upturn in the flow Of ci-
william goods into the stores, be-
cause after midnight the produc-
ers will keep more Of their pro-
fit from sales, pay less of it to
Uncle Sam. This results from re-
peal Of heavy excess profits tax.
Corporations will get total
tax cut of $3,136, 100000
sizeable kitty which the Govern
ment hopes will be plowed back
into the making of more goods
and more jobs.
individuals will benefit by
total of $2,800,00O 900, through
cuts ranging from 100 per cent
for some 100000 low income
persons to 10 per cent or more
for the average taxpayer. This
will bolster purchasing power at
time when pay envelopes and
salary check are getting thinner.
HIGH BENEFITS SEEN
The total benefit to taxpayers
may be even greater than the Of
ficial 5000, 100000 estimate be-
cause Of the surprisingly high
rate of national income which
has been maintained even after
the slump in war business.
The official estimate was bas-
ed on a national income of $780,
600, 100000 in 1916. But the
country enters the new year
with its income clipping along at
a $50, 900, 100000 rate. Treas
ury and Commerce Department
officials now agree that their
$3.50, 900, 100000 figure was too
low.
This means that Government,
industry and public alike will
benefit: the Government from
bigger revenues than anticipated
under the new tax rates, busi-
ness and the public from the fact
that they will make more money
than expected and more Of it
will stay in their tills and pock-
cts.
LIST REASONS
Officials concede that leaving
more money in consumers
hands is an inflationary move,
but the Treasury Department
believes the net effect of the new
tax law will be a stabilizing one
for these reasons:
1. The cut for corporations -
especially the excess profits tax
repeal-will remove major OBJ
stacles to the production of more
goods, and high production Is
the best cure for initiation.
2. Much of the reduction goes
to taxpayers in the lower income
classes. In the case Of the H.
900 100000 who will be excused
from paying any tav at all, most
of the saving will be spent for
food. And food will be out of the
scarcity class before automobiles
and washing machines.
3. While the effect may add TO
inflationary pressureS during the
first half Of l946, this may come
in handy in the last half to offset

Death Penalty
voteDue7oday
Stote Legislature
TO Act on Measure

LANSING, March g. (A9 -
Sponsors of bill to impose the
mandatory penalty of death in
the electric chair upon convicted
first degree murderers said they
would call il to a vote in the
House Of Representatives today,
expecting a bitter fight with
capital punishment opponents.
Rev. Joseph E. Warner, Ypsi-
lanti Republican and its princi-
pal sponsor, said he believed he
could find enough votes TO pass
the measure, and that he felt
confident efforts TO attach ref
erendum clause TO it would fail.
He pointed to the recent un-
solved Staying Of Senator War
rem G.. Hooper, one of the key
witnesses in the Carr grand
Jury, as a factor on which he
counted to draw votes to the
bill.
AS a sequel TO Carr grand jury
disclosures of graft in the legls-
lature, the Senate last night
passed and sent TO the house a
bill forbidding any legislator to
accept fee or pay in an amount
exceeding what he would re-
ceive if he were not legislator.
The state bar of Michigan sup
ported the bill.
The measure originally was
aimed at attorneys who accept
retainers from groups interest
ed in legislation, but the Senate
broadened the bill to cover any
laW-maker.
An attempt to give it immedi-
ate effect SO that 1t would apply
to the present session failed by
a few votes.
The Senate debated and then
aside for day a far-reaching
measure which would allow the
legislature TO veto any rule or
regulation Of a state depart
ment. The only exceptions
would be rules for the internal
operation of an agency, regula-
tions fixing rates and tariffs,
fish and game regulations and
those governing traffic and safe
ty rules.
One of the sponsors, Senator
Harry f. Hittle, Lansing Repub-
lican, asserted the legislature
had vested many agencies with
almost unlimited powers, even
authority to Jail citizens and
that the legislature had no con-
troll of them. The bill would in
validate any regulation which
was not subsequently confirmed
by the legislature in each bien-
mum.

a veritable death trap for tanks
and trucks. Yet, the Marines
soon had on the beach more We
hicles than the island had ever
seen.
The beach slopes sharply up
ward from the water. Early ad-
vances were in yards as the Ma

divisions pushed forward under
intense enemy fire. Initial re-
Sistance was comparatively light
but the hours of the day and

Some waved and yelled but the
brisk wind whipped their words

How many of these men will be

Then terrible carnage broke
loose on the beach itself. The
sounds of War-the boom and

For a while the helliSh night

bership of more than 800 farm
ers in their organization.
The victory gathering was
composed of leaders and team
members in the recent drive de-
signed TO bring membership TO
an all-time peak of 785. The
goal was exceeded by more than
25, and more memberships are
expected from several areas of
the county. In 1914 the bureau
had a membership of 430 farm
ers.
Allen Rush, of Romeo, pres
ident of the county farm bureau
presided at the dinner, held at
the Van Ross hotel, and Arthur

ence of urban and rural life in
this county.
William Murphy, county ag-
ricultural agent, and Gus Mix,
Of Richmond, area representa-
tive of the Michigan State Farm
Bureau, also spoke. Murphy
launded the progressive spirit of
the farm organization and the
advances in agriculture it had
made possible, and Mix urged
bureau members to consolidate
their gains by education for and
encouragement Of new men,

A highlight Of the affair was
the presentation Of war bond

SIS members in the drive. Other
drive workers were similarly
honored.
Brewers talk centered on the
mutual aid which is necessary
between city residents and farm
ers for their progress and pros
perity. He commented that Ma
comb County is the home of 120
industries, employing $4,000
men with a payroll of S85, ,000,-
