Speaks for AFL
Otto Brach, general secretary

Union which favors the payroll
tax also said that his organiza-
ton wished to see the election
held on May Z at the party
primaries. -,
Council adjourned without
taking definite action upon the
petitions.
Times Fights Petitions
What action CIO will take on
the paw roll tax ordinance will
be determined at its meeting Of
March IA with every indication
pointing to active opposition to
the ordinance.
One of the principal targets
for CIO criticism is expected to
be the Toledo Times, which dur
ing the time the petitions were
being circulated, as well as at-
ter they were filed printed
many stories which created ClO
antagonism.
No later than Tuesday of this
week. the Times published
story about the payroll tax in
which it stated that C1O lead
ers were in favor Of the tax.
This report was Immediately
spiked by Richard Gosser, UAW-
CIO regional director who lead
the fight on the tax in January
prior to its passage by Council.
Gosser Makes Statement
Director Gosser in denying
the Times statement said the
following:
'Tt is my opinion that every
one is speaking for the ClO and
its leadership in the Toledo
Times except CIO itself. Why
should anyone believe that PAC,
which is made up of lot of
segments of this community
other than CIO, and also CIO,
would go to the trouble of get
ting 10000 signatures if it did
not intend TO oppose the payroll
tax which we believe should
have exemptions written into It,.
One of the main points as a
guiding rule should have been
based on the ability to pay.
"To all the voters in the city
of Toledo, I want to say clear
ly and plainly that ] personally
am opposed to the payroll tax.
Further, I am sure that the del

organization but are completely
tired of being overtaxed, are OPP

Far From Fair
"The payroll tax system Is far
from fair when it takes from a

one per cent on the dollar, and
at the same time takes from an
industrialist who makes pos

Felony Arrests of Gamblers
Hit as Substitute for Warrants

A reported practice by anti
gambling squad police of charging
gambling violators with felonies
rather than misdemeanors in order
to give arrests a semblance of le-
gality, and then reducing the
charges, was attacked today in Mu-
nicipal Court by Judge Walter j..
Casey.
An arrest may be made for a
felony when a policeman has in
formation of the crime from a third
party, but to make an arrest for a
miSdemeanor, he must witness the
violation unless he has a warrant.
Judge Casey's statements came
after he dismissed charge against
George Myers, Al, colored, TOO block

mitting a gaming table to be set up
and used.

NUREMBERG, Germany. July 8.
-Hitlers former chauffeur, Erich
Kempka, testified today he saw
the German leader lying dead in
the Reichschancellery the afternoon
of April 80, 1945, and also helped
carry Eva Braun's body outside for
cremation.
Kempka also told the interna-
tional military tribunal he saw
Martin Bormann, missing aide of
Hitler, who is on trial in absentia,
blasted by bazooka shell with such
force that it was impossible for him
to be alive.
The chauffeur referred to Eva
Braun, the bride of a few hours,
as Adolf Hitler's wife"
When he told how he saw the
body of the Fuehrer rolled in a
blanket. with only the booted legs
hanging out, he said 1T wasn't
the same Adolf Hitler" He was
impressed that the blanket used was
too short.
The courtroom was quiet as
Kempka continued:
Il can say he died the 30th of
April between and O'Clock in
the afternoon. I didn't see him die.
But I carried his body out of the
bunker and set it on fire. I carried
Adolf Hitler's wife out"
Kempka reported he said farewell
to Bormann in the chancellery and
struck out across Berlin to the
Friedrichstrasse station. He said
the city was in chaos. About 2 am.

squad had informed him it had been
impossible for him to obtain a Com
miSSioner's warrant to enter the
establishment in the 500 block of T
street NV.
"As a result of my investigation" +"
the judge said, Il found a practice
had arisen, of what duration I don't
know, whereby these defendants are
brought before the United States
Commissioner and at that time,
either on the motion of the Com
missioner himself or at the request
of the arresting officer, these cases
are turned over to this court for the
filing of informations for misde-
meanors.
I'm view of the fact the officers
told me they went into the place
without warrant and could not Sc
cure warrant. l don't think this
court should lend itself to such a
practice.
However important it may be to
close these places or harrass these
gamblers, I don't think the court
should be used as an instrumentality
where methods used by the police
are illegal or highly questionable
and so far as I am concerned, this
court will not sanction the prac-
tice."
