Veterans Undergoing Training
Are Suffering Many Hardships

AL Mills, fifth district COM
mander of the American Legion,
Florida department, on Saturday
sent telegram to Norman R.
CANCER, member of the state
veterans commission at large, in
which it was stated that veterans
undergoing apprentice training
in Key West are suffering severe
hardships through failure of the
Veterans Administration to make
prompt Subsistence payments.
The telegram stated that 70
veterans at the base had not been
paid up to March 81 although
they had been in training since
the first week in January. Two
boys have received subsistence
checks since, Mills said in a later
wire, leaving SO boys "who are
broke and suffering hardships
because the $4.64 a day subsis-
tence pay is grocery money"
CANCER said he took the mat

City Has Lost
$7l5,eOO Sum In
Exempted Tax
Fl oRIDA MUNICIPALITIES
LEAGUE WILL ASK STATE
FOR MONIES IN LIEU OF
HOMESTEAD TAXES

| Key West can have one or more
representatives on a committee
that is being formed to obtain IL
nancial assistance from the state
for all cities in Florida in lieu Of
revenue lost through the home
stead exemption law.
Formation of the state wide
group was announced last week
by Florida League of Municipali-
ties President E. L. Cole. The
groip will be officially known as
the Committee on Tax Realloca-S
ton and Aid for Cities. Mr.. Co'e
said the fcornmittee win be made
up of one or more representatives
of every municipality in the state
and predicted the membership
win total about 100.
City Finance Head Charles
Roberts told The Citizen today
that city taxes lost because OF
homestead exemptions since
1885 total approximately SITS
600.
Based on homestead exemptions
of $2,500,000 per annum and On
average tax levy for operations of
rs mills, a yield of $4,000 per
annum is lost to the city over the
eleven years from 1885 to 1945 i'll
elusive, Mr.. Roberts declared.
General Meeting Soon
A temporary group met in Jack:
sonville last week to discu O. plans
for formation of the statewide
committee and to prepare for a
get'ral organization meeting that
will be called within the next few
weeks. Just where the meeting
will be held is undecided as yet.
MIR. Cole made It plain at the
Jacksonville meeting that the
committee will not advocate any
new taxes. I'VE propose to plan
some form of tangible relief for
the cities from taxes already
levied and collected by state
. law" be emphasized.
Ray E. Duncan, of st. Peters
burg, will ID chairman of the
it was also announced.
At the Jacksonville meeting, be-
sides Mr. Cole and Mr.. Duncan,
were Carleton F. Sharp, city man
ager of st. Petersburg; William
Madison and E. P. Owen, Jr., of
the Florida League of Municipali-
ties.
|, State Ignores Cities
/ Mr.. Duncan stressed the fact
that the state has consistently
ignored the plight of its cities d.
spite desperate appeals. While
attributing the plight" of Florida
cities to loss of real estate eel.
}ections since the adoption of the
homestead law he pointed out
that "forty-three states out of the
AZ have state revenue systems
which distribute aid to cities"
Mr.. Duncan stated that findings
of the committee will be made
available to members of tn E 1877
Florida Legislature. There is 4
bsasdngfesBhg ehpddghortt the state
that a revision of the system of
fEI9oaengs present taxes by the
State to the cities viii bring about
the goal for which this committee
will strive" he said.

term Of 20 years on finding Of
guilty on one count. And as against
Doenitz with his 10 years for being
guilty on two counts, 1t is to be
noted that Ernest Kaltenbrunner
also guilty on two counts, was SEN
fenced to hang.
In Same Category.
Hans Frank is in the same cate
CORY. Fritz Sauckel was decreed to
be hanged because he was guilty on
two courts. Martin Bormann, who
was tried in absentia, was held to
merit death by hanging because of
his guilt on two counts, while Kon-
stantin Won Neurati, although found
guilty Oh all four counts, got off with
mere Is years. Another contrast:
Arthur Seyss-Inquart, while de-
termined TO be guilty on three
counts. was sentenced TO be hanged
while Won Neurath, guilty on all four
counts, was given the comparatively
light sentence of Is years.
To the degree that there were
wide and apparently inexplicable
variations are people likely to sus-
pect that considerations entered into
the judgment of the court that
should not have been there. This
apparent discrimination will not
only make for a questioning of the
courts Judgment, it will constitute
basis for the belief that, in some
instances at least, martyrs were
being created instead of criminals
being punished. Certainly to let

Hjalmar Schacht go free while at
the same time hanging Won Ribben-
trop will satisfy no ones sense OF
Justice, while tos write Franz Won
Papen the Innocent under the life
size portrait of that gentleman will
evoke nothing but cynical smile.
In view of what I regard as a
miscarriage of justice with respect
to Schacht and Won Papen, join
with Mr.. Justice Jackson in de-
manding that other blood-guilty
Germans. particularly f1nanciers and
industrialists, without whom these
shocking crimes could not have been
committed, be speedily brought to
Justice. And, in such an event, I
should hope that the stage trappings

able to operate. To my way OF
thinking, his was the greater meas
ure of guilt and yet he was
allowed to go scot free while
others were sentenced to be hanged
or to prison for crimes which they
could not have committed if it had
not been for him. l will be greatly
mistaken if the tender consideration
shown to Schacht will not be more
greatly misunderstood and, there
fore, resented, as time goes by.
Greatest Criminal of Lot.
With the greatest criminal of the
lot dismissed with the kind smiles of
the court, what deterrent will re-
strain some future Schacht, when
he undertakes to breathe the breath
of life into the diabolical schemes Of
another Hitler?
And after Schacht, it seems to me
that Franz Won Papen stood next in
the order of his blood-guiltiness. 1t
was Won Papen who persuaded Won
Hindenberg to make Hitler Chancel-
lor of the Reich. 1t was von Papen,
who, during the First World War,
plotted right here in America for the
undoing of America. Hitler knew
his Won Papen. He appreciated his
