ground which was instrumental in
the Nal occupation of Austria.
He further recruited from the
Austrian Nazis thousands of young
men who took their place in the
Austrian Legion, which had head
quarters in Munich and which
threatened during the years to
invade Austria and to take the
Austrian government by surprise.
The Austrian government was
forced during the years of 1884 and
1888 to occupy the Austrian and
German borders by military forces
and to watch out that the Aus
trian Legion should not provoke
forceful invasion by the Nazis.

bers of the Vienese police depart
ment.
Hitler, on February II, 1888, de-
livered an ultimatum to DR..
Schuschnigg to come to Bertesgaden
and either accept his ultimatum or
be invaded by the Nazis. Hitler
threatened DR.. Schuschnigg that an
Austrian Legion Of $4,000 was ready
to march into Austria with a COM
plete underground of S. A. and s. S.
They wanted to organize Austria in
a NaI state, and Ambassador Won
Papen affirmed that he knew from
his own experience as Austrian AM
bassador how strong an UNDER
ground organization there was in
Austria and pretended he knew that
the Austrian Nazis were SO strong
they could, in case of a plebescite,
decide the Anschulss for the Nazis.
Forced Abdication.
DR.. Schuschnigg wanted to FORE
stall further increase of the Nals
in Austria by setting a plebescite
for March 13, but on March II, Won
Papen again entered into the pic
ture by submitting a new ultimatum
from Hitler, and forced Schuschnigg
to abdicate.
After Schuschnigg abdicated, the
first deed Of Won Papen was to use
his underground which he built up
for four years, to plunder and loot
the Austrian economy, to arrest
thousands of Austrian patriots and
order the assassination of many
thousands of good Austrian citizens,
and to arrest DR.. Schuschnigg and
deliver him to the Gestapo.

raise similar problems in trying
other militarists.
But to the German public, at least
in Nuremberg, the m0st astounding
thing about the trial was the ac-
quittal Of Won Papen.
Random interviews around the
court house this morning showed
that the trend Of German thinking
about the trial is about as follows:
1. They think forced labor for
life would be better than death
sentences for those condemned to
die.
2. They are astonished that Won
Papen was freed.
8. They are disappointed that

defiantly told yesterdays news con-
ference that he hoped to 60 before

Arrangements are proceeding for
the execution OF the tribunals death

executions, was In Nuremberg today.
The Council, which has authority
to reduce or alter the sentences, but
not to increase them, has always
acted by unanimous vote In its de-
cisions and 1t was assumed that
unanimous vote would be required
for any clemency.
In addition to the turmoil stirred
up by the tribunals acquittal Of
Schacht, Won Papen and Fritsche,
there was considerable questioning
Of the courts refusal to brand the
German General Stan and High

The Russian Judge dissented from
that refusal in strong language.

EYING THE BANK ROLL

A rich person, in the eyes of taxing
authorities, is much like an automobile:
bleed him or it white at every chance.

have a total budget of less than 100000,
tried to get some of Doris Duke Cromwells
money and proceeded to assess her per-
sonal and intangible properties for. s$14,-
100000, but the United States Supreme.
Court, by unanimous decision, declared
null and void the law on which the actions
was based. a@ 1i'5.l". ~ > a'i
1t is regrettable that there is not some
way the taxing gentry, in Florida par
ticularly, can be stopped from considering
the automobile 'easy meat" for the gov
ernmental pap trough.
1t would be more than enlightening to
learn just how long it requires a Key
Wester, for instance, to pay in taxes the
amount he pays for an automobile. Every
time he buys five gallons of gasoline, the
state gets 35 cents from him. The license
plate and the drivers license, both of
which have been doubled in the last few
years, do not amount to much, and neither
will the city inspection of brakes and
lights cost much, but they prove that the
automobile is taxed many times more in
Florida than anything else of equal value
One would not miss his guess, We, BET
lieve, in saying that itnwonitthe longI bes
fore drivers licenses will be doubled again
and again, and cost of license plates will
gbe increased again, or some tax expert
will find other WAYS to pOuge the owner
of an automobile.
AS for the wealthy man, he can't
step toward any point of the compass
without stubbing his toe against some kind
of tax structure. And tax gatherers from
the federal government to states and
counties and cities and villages have their
eyes on his bank roll

INTERESTING LAWSUIT

An American shipping company is
being sued for 100000 damages by the
families of two merchant seamen who
allege that the men were abandoned in
Manila during the Japanese attack of
December, 1941.
This is an interesting legal problem.
The complainants allege that the men
were on shore leave when the air raid
started and that the ship left without
them so that consequently they were cap
tured by the Japanese and died on Jap
anese prison ship.
The company, as we understand its
defense, says that the ship left Manila
only after making every possible effort to
locate the men and get them aboard and
that its leaving was in compliance with
orders issued by the Navy. 1t is difficult
to see how the plaintiffs will be able to
meet this defense.
