In Colorado Town

Louisville, Colo. -(AP)- Al
though Colorado has no poll tax,
male citizens in Louisville, a
northern Colorado town of 2,700,
have to pony up 50 tax every
year. Either that or do + o u +
hours work for the city at 75
cents per hour.
The tax has been in effect
since 1882 and catches every
male between 81 end 60 except
war veterans ard city firemen.
Its very handy wnen it comes
time to clean out the curbs and
cutters in the spring." said John
A. Dionigini, city clerk and re-
corder. "Of course, some people
mistake it for a regular poll tax
and think it applies to voting" ="
But it doesn't. Ii you're Louis
vile male, you pay it whether
you want to vote or not.

FILM "C0R5ICAN
BROTHERS" BILL
NOW at CAPITOL

There was a bit OF nostalgia last
night at the Capitol Theatre, when
Douglas Fairbanks Jr., appeared in
the kind OF swashbuckling role that
Brought back memories of his below
ed father. The film was Edward
5malrs perturbation of the Alexan-
ire Dumas novel, The Corsican
Brothers" Swift act on, thrilling
drama and all the romance OF the
Dumas classic are here.
Douglas Fairbanks Jr. gives a
compelling performance in the dual
role of the twin brothers who seek
revenge for the wrongs done their
family by a Corsican tyrant of one
hundred years ago. One brother,
brought up in luxury, is a gay young
man of the world The other, raised
a bandit in the wilds of Corsica, is
dour and forbidding personality. 1t
Is no easy job creating separate
characters who are so different, yet
so alike but young Fairbanks man
ages to convey their likeness as well
as their differences with amazing
facility.
Ruth Warrick, in the feminine
lead, added another to the long
list of screen performances that
have stamped her one of Holly
woods more talented actresses. She
is lovely creature to look at-and
she can act.
, Special words of praise are due to
the villains of the film. Akin Tamil
rolf, as the tyrant, and John Emery,
as his lieutenant, are the very en-
bodiment of evil.

The rank and file of the UAWCIO in Toledo and area
have considered the articles appearing in the Local

In fact the rank and file took action the extent of pre-
sentng resolution at local and unit meetings condemnlng the
Local executive board for allowing person persons to
use that publication in his their campaign of hatred and

It's no secret either that Dtze had aspirations to be-

Clio Looks Forward
To '49 Elections

PORTLAND, Ore. NPA)-
Hailing the results of the No
vember election as "a great vic
tory for the American people"
the CIO last week pledged its
"wholehearted support to Pres
ident Truman and Vice-Presi-
dent Barkley in carrying out
the pledges made in the liber-
al platform upon which they
ran and were elected"
In political action resolu-
ton promising to pay close at
tention "to the elections for
state, county and city offices
for 1949," delegates to the CIO
convention voted to continue
the CIO Political Action Com
mittee in its present form ano
discourage any move in the di-
rection of third party at this
time"
Everyone except a small
handful of pro-Communist de-
legates was wildly enthusiastic
about the CIO political stand
and determined to make their
victory in this election per-
manent one.

as an aid and comfort to the
enemies of the United Labor
Movement.
The TIUC delegates in pre-
S n tin g their resolution,
stated that they are convinced
that the paper is being used in
a personal fight and that articles
appearing in this paper are con-
trary to the principles of un-
ion. 1t has made attacks on Rich
ard Gosser, international UAW-
CIO vice president and spokes-
man for the CIO in Toledo and
Thomas H. Burke, executive
! secretary of the TIUC and Con-
gresham elect from the Ninth
District.
No Commitment
Mr.. Gosser and Mr.. Burke
were charged in the publication
that they have made a commit
ment to support William Sturrn,
appointed AFL regional director
who is seeking the city council
seat to be vacated by Vice May
or Burke at the end of Decem-
Der. Both of the union leaders
issued public statements deny
ing that they ever made a COM

The paper also said that Mr..
Gosser was debating TO the
United Labor Committee which
is composed of top leadership of
the CIO, AFL, MESA and Rail-
road Brotherhoods who have
guild e d the election of Mr..
Burke. In another public state
ment, Mr.. Gosser stated that he
is not a dictator and has never
pushed anyone for the council
seat. That" he said, should be
settled by the AFL group"
Delegates say that it is an es-

some board members of Local

smear Richard Gosser or Tom
Burke. 1t is also noted it is
said that they will oppose any
