THE AK IN TAXATION

(By Dr. Alfred P. Haake Ph D.
 An astute politician who loved power more than his country, remarked that the way to stay in office is to 'tax spend and elect"
 He right If business is blamed for the high prices which loaded with taxes, if the people can be made to believe that taxes will be paid by the rch and if there plenty of spending for people who think that 1t costs them nothing-even people frightened as the people of the United likely to elect and then elect the spenders
 Sensible people, both Democrats and Republicans, frightened by the terrible length to which this Ad mnisraon has already gone in adding to the national debt and taxing productive wealth to spend wasefully political measures and programs.
 England taking 40%o of the peoples income to pay it's cost of government is moving swiftly toward destruc tion. But for loans and gifts her socasc govern ment would have fallen months ago.
 We are already taking about 3O%o of the peoples in- to pay cost of government. Our taxes will go still higher if the spending and deficits continue Don't kid yourself that the rich will pay them YOU will pay them
 It recently discovered have already taxed away much from the people who normally furnish the capital for expansion jobs and higher standards of living, that 84% of additional taxes will have to from people with incomes under $5,OOO year
 The AK in taxes is reaching for YOUR neck and it won't be long before it collects your head if you don't wake up and make Congress stop the wastefu political spending and taxation.

trial. When MacInnis referred to "the indescribable bitterness and hatred in this case" Judge Harris interrupted.
 When you ascribe any hatred to this court" he said. flor the record I would like to say that have felt no bitterness, hatred or ill will in this case"
 Before passing sentence, the judge observed:
 "I say that the verdicts are fair and just. The verdicts will stand as courageous decision on the part of an intelligent jury They will serve as lasting me morial that the integrity of the naturalization laws of these United States must be upheld"

+. ID. R. Passed On
 Five Years Ago

HYDE PARK, N. Y, P)-Five years have passed since Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, but as many as 5000 persons daily still visit his grave.
 Today-the anniversary of the late Presidents death-the events of his life were. recalled once more in a special memorial serv- ice at the grave.
 The Rev. Gordon l.. Kidd, rec tor of St. James Episcopal church here, which MT. Roosevelt at tended during his lifetime, con ducted the service.
 The service was open to the public. The small fee ordinarily charged to look through the Roosevelt home and library will not be in effect for the day.
 The occasion focused attention on this landscaped burial spot be- side the Hudson River-which has drawn an average of half a million visitors a year since the Presidents death.
 During the tourist season, we often show the Franklin D. Roose- welt National Historic site to more than 5000 in one day." says George A. Palmer, park Superin- tendent.
 He says it is surprising how little people knew" about MT. Roosevelt personally.

Charge U. S.-Russia Planes Fire At Each Other

Continued from Page One) when it disappeared on a round trip flight from Copenhagen, Den mark, to WieSbaden, Germany. Called the PriVateer, it had four engines like the B-29. U. s. planes have been searching for it since Saturday.
 The official Soviet news agency TaSss aid foreign minister Andrei Vishinsky called in Ambassador Alan Kirk yesterday morning and handed him a formal note of pro- test.
 TasS said the incident occurred 21 kilometers-about 13 miles inside Russia territory near Lep- ava in Latvia, On the Baltic Sea.
 Tass gave the text of the pro test note as follows:
 "The government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics deems it necessary to state to the. government of the United States of America the following:
 According to verified data, on April of this year, at 17 hours 39 minutes, south of Lepaya, four-engined military plane of the B-29 type, a Flying Fortress, bear ing American identification marks was sighted.
 "The plane penetrated the Ter ritory of the Soviet Union to a distance of 21 kilometers.
 Owing to the fact that the American plane continued to pen- citrate into Soviet territory, a flight of Soviet fighters took off from a nearby aerodrome and de- manded that the American plane follow it and land at the aero drome.
 i Ihe American plane not only failed to comply with this demand but opened fire on the Soviet planes.
 Owing to this, an advanced Soviet fighter was forced to open fire in reply, after which the | American plane turned towards the sea and disappeared.
 "The Soviet government an- nounces its resolute protest to the government of the United States against this gross violation of the Soviet frontier by an American military plane, which at the same time constitutes an unheard of vii olatio nof the elementary rules of international law"

U. $. Will Seek To Revoke Bridges Citizenship
Continued from Page One)


 at the citizenship hearing.
 The government move to ask revocation of citizenship. Sched- uled for court hearing yesterday, was based on the contention that the devocation was mandatory un- der the statute governing Bridges indictment.
 The man to decide that is the trial judge. George B. Harris, who said as he passed sentence:
 By lying, cheating and de- frauding the United States Gov ernment, MT. Harry Bridges was granted a certificate of natural ization. He was aided and abetted by two co-defendants and had bestowed upon him the price less benefit of citizenship.
 MT. Bridges conduct cannot evoke either sympathy or consid- eration on my part"
 Bridges, 48, key figure in par alyzing port strikes on the west coast and Hawaii and twice vic tor against previous government efforts to deport him, listened in glum silence to the proceedings. He had no comment afterWard, in contrast with his charge of "im- migration frameup" at the end of his stormy, 8lday trial. His attorneys, both of whom were sentenced for contempt dur ing the bitterly waged trial, said they would vigorously oppose any move to revoke Bridges citizen ship. They also said they would carry appeals to the Supreme Court, if necessary, contending that the trial was conducted on 8 political and even a patriotic basis.
 Judge Harris, in rejecting a mo- tion for a new trial, denied tha, ''the verdict was the result of hys- teria" or that the trial was "an ob- lique attack on militant trade un- ions."
 Bridges was convicted of per- jury and conspiracy with his two aides to commit perjury. He was ] given five years for perjury, two for conspiracy, with both terms tc run concurrently.
 All three were released on bail but it was increased. Bridges was fixed at $25,000 and the other two man at $10,000 apiece. Previously each of the three had been under $5,000 bail.
 A technical dispute over bail bond papers prevented the gov ernment from proceeding with its move toward citizenship revoca- tion Monday.
 ] Defense attorney Vincent Halli- nan, under six months sentence for contempt, and his colleague James MacInnis, unde rthree months sentence, made more charges of bias against Judge Har- ris Monday while striving to ar rest judgment and gain a new

WHAT is

The Jabberwock appeared orig
inally in the well-known Lewis Car
sented by fraternities, sororities
fantastic creature made up of diff
ferent parts of several animals,
each contributing its bit to make a
whole. The search for a novel form
of entertainment designed to raise
money for scholarship funds, led
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority to an
adaptation of the Lewis Carroll
idea, and thus the first Jabber-
wock was originated with the
Iota Chapter of Boston, in 1925.
Since its inception, it's main pur-
pose has been to encourage the
development of amateur talent by
having an evening program con-
sisting of original sketches pre-
scented by fraternities, sororties
and clubs = each group making
its contribution to a whole eve-
ning's entertainment. Many Delta
Chapters have made it a custom
to have a dance for ticket holders

wock, as Alpha Omicron Chapter
