PHILADELPHIA, May 27. GAN
P)--Walter Cooper is being held

bet. Daniel O'Mahoney said
that the shooting occurred during
a dispute between Cooper and his
wife, Catherine.
According to detectives, Coop
err who was unemployed borrowed
$500 from his wife during the
day to purchase whiskey to cele-
brate his birthday. On his return,
the veteran, in an intoxicated con-
dition, told his wife that he had
borrowed $1.00 for the whiskey
from another tenant in the build
ing and asked for money to repay
the woman.
Mrs. Cooper's refusal made her
husband angry. In his anger Coop
err started to empty the drawer
of a dresser telling his wife that
he was goin gto pack up and leave
her. 1t was while doing this that
he pulled the gun from the draw
er saying that he was going to
take the gun with me-" He then
shook the weapon over a bed un-
til n bullet fell out and then
repeatedly began waving the wea-
pom around. The gun discharged
and the bullet struck the baby,

the bed. The victim died 20 hours
later in Philadelphia General hos
pital where physicisans performed

Bowers Discuss City Budget
At Commission Meeting

Fred Bowers, of the South Side
Civic association, and Lou Kap-
Ian, of the United Electrical
Workers Union, CLIO, caught the
City Commission yesterday morn
ing with it's pants down, as it were.
Bowers, in the period allowed fol-
citizens remarks, attempted to dis
cuss the proposed city payroll tax,
but was cut short by Mayor Lob
rey, commission chairman.
The hearing had discussed the
city budget and, as is becoming
the custom, city officials appear
very vaguely uncertain as to
where the money is coming from
to prevent the municipality from
instituting deficit financing. AS
City Manager Mcclure stated yes
terday morning in a very clear
and enlightening remark: Deficit
financing it very bad" But the
money had to be raised "some-
how"
When Bowers rose to present
his remarks, Lohrey declared they
were out of order, that the city
commission had taken no position,
mol had discussed in any commits
sion meeting any plans for a pay
roll tax.
At this juncture, Kaplan took
the floor and declared that he
could produce statements made by
almost all the city commissioners
on the payroll tax proposal, and
that it was perfectly in order for
citizens to discuss it. The high
pressure tactics of the commission
were displayed when the commits

sion, ignoring Kaplan's remarks,
adjourned.
1t will be well to member these
incidents when the tax finally does
come up for discussion, and there
is every reason to believe that it
will. The local press, of course,
has carried the ball thus far in
planting editorials and letters
from citizens supporting the pay
roll tax, in a more or less clan
destine manner. They have not yet
come right out for it positively,
but by negating deficit financing,
and by making it appear as though
there are no other methods, they
leave no doubts as to where they
stand.
An indication of the way the
pay roll plan might proceed can

the City Railway lines formally

international law by entering
the Soviet consulate in New

The Communist Party newspaper

ice is guilty of crude violation OF
the immunity of the Soviet consular
building in New York"
Reprinting a Tass dispatch from
New York on the case of Mrs. Ok

when Kosenkina (after her falD
was already brought into the con-
sulate, agents of the American in
telligence, violating its recognized
immunity, burst into the consulate
building.
They subjected Kosenkina's S room
to search, seized purse belonging
to Kosenkina and its contents and
by force took Kosenkina to hos
pital.
These acts of arbitrary force by
American police are clear violation
Of the consular statute and of rec

in contradiction to the declaration
of representatives of the United

The Federal Reserve Board was
