POLITICAL
ROUNDUP
By Arthur Naftalin

A first-class financial headache,
in the form Of a state bonus TOR
veterans, awaits the men and wOm-
en- eIecIed 70 the l947 sJRUe legls-
IaLure. II is now clear Lnat pres
sure for enactment OF a bonus will
De virtually Irresistible. Sentiment
taVorlng the bonus IS growing
among legislative candidates., ana
SENATE Majority Leader Charles n.
Orr has declared himself in favor
OF it. Over the state legislative
asplrants are committing them
serves 10 the general principle. BY
the time the legislature convenes,
the only controversy over the meas
ure viii be the details of the ben
ents to be provided.
State administration leaders
are bordering the means Of
financing the huge outlay q state
bonus will require. Estimates
range from $lOU, W., 900 TO $780,
OUV,VUO, depending on the bene-
hts provided. The plan approved
by the state American Legion
convention would pay SIS tor
each month Of home service and
$50 for each month Of overseas
service, not to exceed $500, with
an estimated $4,000 veterans
participating.
Discussion of the bonus is in
variabIy linked with talk of a state
sales tax. This highly controversial
measure has been consistently Op-
posed by progressive groups VINO
maintain that the tax places a pro-
pOrtionately larger burden upon
che lower income groups and does
not follow the ability to pay" prin-
ciple. Fears that conservatives in
Minnesota are preparing Ito spring
a sales tax at the proper moment
are expressed by the Alexandria
Park Region Echo. On the other
hand, legislative leaders insist that
the measure does not have wide
spread support among legislators.
An effort to adopt a resolution
opposing the bonus was headed
OF at the state convention Of the
Minnesota Young Republican
League, and the convention
wound up by going on record in
favor of il. Luther YOungdahl,
COP nominee for governor, warned
the convention that the Mime
sofa COP ought not to become
Over-cOnfdent, that the 10000
vote margin did not mean certain
COP victory in the fall. As ex-
pected the convention Endorsed
Harold Stassen for President and
voted to support the full slate
of state Republicans.
Minnesota's Third Congressional
District will be a central battle
ground in this falls election. 1t is
repeatedly one of the II congress
sional districts over the nation
which are marked for capture by
the Stassen-for-P President organi-
cation. The Democrat armer-L La
Dor Party is equally determined to
hold the seat. Both parties have
strong contenders in Republican
George MacKinnon and DFL Roy
Weir. The two men were "coI-
leagues" from the 18th district in
the state legislature during the
sessions of '33 and '35, and were
leaders in the rival liberal and con-
sentative caucuses.
Weir emerged as the DFL
nominee to take William Gal
lagher's place on the ballot after
a quiet and harmonious district
endorsing convention. He was

sudden and violent death.
Perhaps you have been awed by
the horrible efficiency Of the atom
bomb, and perhaps you believe that
TO control the atom bomb Is to
control the end Of the world, but
you forget-mRn's hatred conceived
and gave birth to the atom bomb,
and mans hatred can produce even
greater terrors. Man has tired Of
the child's play Of simplifying and
prolonging life; he is exploring the
powers Of God; he will not be salts
fed until the power Of life and
death Is his-absolutely.
Whether Il be In 4 lonely wood
ed region in Georgia, or In the
melancholy mines Of South AZ
RIGA, man Is In his laboratory,
killing for the delight Of killing,
seeking to know the OmnipOtent
thrill Of making 4 human heart
stand still-permanently.
The agoniEed cries Of tortured
Jews who dare defy the new-day
NaLism in Haifa and Tel Aviv are
the echoes Of the black Americans
who die without resisting, and in
lesser numbers, but who die, new
ertheless. They are beneath the law,
these dead Negroes and Jews; the
law was not created for such as
they, nor was II created for those
who kill and defile them, for those
supermen are above the law.
There Is no law, really. There are
rules, and they do not apply to the
lesser men. The mob that lynches
the color Of q mans skin, and kills
his body In the process, is not ac-
eountable to any Of the so-called
decent forces that have been set
up in every community. A mob is
an anonymous thing, never identi-
ned, but easily recognizable, yet
when the mob functions, the law
breaks down.
Mobs are sometimes the army as

Grill Woman
In Death Of
Judge Kin

Pursuing their theory that
William Burns, 33, had a
companion when he met his
death - possibly
from knockout drops - in
Paradise Valley, police today
grilled a Negro woman habi-
tue of blaek-and-tan night
spots.
Held for Investigation n is
Florence Wall, %. of 272 (.
Bethune, who police say is well
known throughout the Negro night
club district where Burns frozen
and half-nude body was found in
the rear seat of his automobile
yesterday.
PERFORM AUTOPSY
She was picked up last night
while DR.. Frances Krynic k /,
county medical examiner. was
performing an autopsy on Burns
body.
1t was after the autopsy failed
10 disclose any evidence Of foul
play that police turned 10 the
suppoSition that Burns may have
been given knockout drops.
They pointed out that Burns
shirt, undershirt and tie were
missing. indicating that he might
have been dragged 10 the car,
while either unconscious or dead,
from some spot nearby.
DR.. Krynicki ordered the vital
organs sent 10 DR.. Paul klebba,
county chemist, for study as 10
any trace of knockout drops or
poison.
IN LOT SINCE SUNDAY
Significant to police was the
fact that Burns body was found
in his car, which apparently had
been standing on the parking lot
on Adams near Hastings since
Sunday night.
Police said this strengthened
their belief that Burns may have
driven to the spot with a COM
panion who, after administering
knockout drops. became fright
ened and dumped him in the rear
seat of the car.
The only other possibility was
that Burns, in a semiconsciouS
condition, may have staggered 10
the automobile or pointed it out
to some one he met in nearby
tavern.
