| the Federal government, mentioned
in the ad. The author in his ad points
out the answer very nicely when he
states that: Federal income taxes
are a cost of doing business just like
rent, and salaries and wages" This
is a frank admission that the indi-
vidual consumer pays all the taxes in
the last analysis and the corporation
only acts as the collector. The coop
erative provides a simple method to
permit the individual to pay the tax
in the first instance without any mid
dleman's commission.
Family farmers buy at retail and
sell at wholesale and try to retain
their farms and homes in competi-
ton with businessmen, banker and
corporation farmers who buy their
machinery and farm supplies at
wholesale which creates an impos-
sible situation for the farmer. There
fore family farmers must have CO.
operatives to be able to purchase
their farm supply needs. at whole
sale in order that they may retain
their farms and homes in competi-
ton with corporation farmers who
have the advantage of quantity pur-
chases at wholesale.

French Government
Is Facing Potential
Problem in Algeria
BY the Associoted Press

ALGIERS, July 7.-France, with
q large scale colonial war on her
hands in Indo-C China. is keeping
q wary finger on the pulse Of 90
100000 potentially turbulent Arabs
in North Africa.
President of the Republic Vim
cent Auriol himself hit the road
as a kind of travelling salesman
in long tour up and down AL
geria. From the Tunisian from
tier in the east to the Moroccan
frontier in the west. he sought
to persuade in a dozen speeches
that continued attachment to
France was the country's best in
vestment in an uncertain future.
Nothing was spared to impress
the populace. Troops were
marched past in all the major
cities. American-built tanks and
guns rumbled by in a cloud OF blue
smoke and dust. Fighter planes
in neat formations roared above
the jam packed roofs.
Although the strongly national
list Udma independence Manifes-
to Party urged its members to
boycott the celebrations, few could
stay away from such show.
Auriol Receives Open Letter.
But the president knew, as ev-
cry one else knew, that he had
seen only one side of the picture.
He had lived here too long as a
private citizen not to have known
the back streets. too. And the
back streets have not much
changed since 1912.
Soon after he landed from
cruiser, Auriol was handed an
"open" letter signed by Ferhat
Abbas, hot-eyed secretary general
of the nationalist Udma party. It
urged him not to forget "the
hungry multitude while you are
seated at table with the wicked
rich"
THE least that we can say"
this letter continued, "is that. of
all the men who will address you
in the name Of the Moslem popu4
lation not one of them has
been elected by universal suffrage.
They represent only themselves
and the projects who have chosen
them"
Stern-faced Governor General
Maurice Edmond Naegelen retort-
ed with angry contempt: "Ferhat
Abbas may claim he represents
100000 Moslems, but really he
represents no one but himself" !"

Threatened with pneumonia, the

attempt to raise $4,000 for the

Fred E. Nalley. jrTtiae clubs

could hardly talk because of his
cold, had vowed he wouldn' t

But he was forced to descend
with the help of the physician and
others. He couldn't be reached

During Mr.. Nalley's stay atop
the pole over the clubhouse, about

Sixth Defendant Back
On Witness Stand
|At Trial Of Reds
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The
ISixth of II Communist conspiracy
trial defendants takes the witness
stand today after Paul Robesons
vain effort to place on the record
his views on communism versus
lcapitalism.
Defendant Henry Winston, the
Communist Party's organizational
secretary, was called as a witness
late yesterday, but his preliminary
Testimony was interrupted by the
overnight recess.
Winston has been in Jail during
off court hours since June 3 when
Federal Judge Harold A. Medina
sent him up for the duration on a
contempt charge. Winston pro-
tested the courts treatment of
another defendant.
Robson Testimony Blocked.
Robson took the witness stand
yesterday but most of his intended
testimony was blocked by his one
time university professor-none
other than Judge Medina. The
Negro singer once attended a law
class taught by Judge Medina at
Columbia University.
The judge ruled Robesons teS-
timony was irrelevant.
Shortly afterward, the defense
gave its questioning, Robson left
the stand. The Government had
refused to cross-examine him.
Robson talked to newsmen
outside the courtroom and pro-
tested his treatment in court.
The singer, central figure in the
two recent anti i-Communist riots
in Peekskill, said:
"They don't want the truth. L
refuse to believe after today that
the courts sit in a middle position.

Torture Angle Probed
In Murder Of Man, 70,
And Housekeeper, 43
BY the Associated Press

GATLINBURG, Tenn, Sept. 81
Police said today they believe q
wealthy tourist court operator was
tied to a chair and tortured be-
fore he and his housekeeper were
murdered at their home near here
Seventy-year-old Charles Perry
was found in the kitchen of his
home yesterday, his throat slashed
and woman's slip knotted around
his neck.
Sheriff j. Roy Whaley said Mr..
Perry's body was slashed 13 times
and that his wrists had rope burns.
This indicated Mr.. Perry had been
tortured before his assailant
slashed his throat, the sheriff
theorized.
In the bedroom officers found
the housekeeper, 43-year-old Miss
Josie Law. She had been stabbed
in the heart twice.
Sheriff Whaley said he believed
the murderer evidently tried to
torture the tourist cabin operator
in the hope he would tell where
