Death Of Fritz Kuhn
in Munich Reported
by New York Paper
By The Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The
New York Daily News, in a copy
righted dispatch from Munich,
Germany, reported tonight the
death more than year ago of
Fritz Kuhn, former German
American Bund leader and con-
victed major Nazi.
The News said Kuhn died of a
heart attack November IA, 1851,
at the age of IS in Munich's
Carolinum Hospital where he had
been patient for three weeks
Although Kuhn had enjoyed
great power in the heyday of
Adolf Hitler, his death was "un-
noticed and unmourned" in Mu-
mich, the News said, adding that
his obscurity was such that his
passing had remained unnoticed
until now.
The News identified Otto
Gritschneder. Kuhn's former
lawyer, as the source of its story.
Gritschneder was quoted as
the source of the following in
formation:
Kuhn's wife was at his bed
side when he died and in his last
days he begged her forgiveness
for the many women in his life
but one of his last visitors also
was his last mistress, Hedwig

Recreation Tax Plan
Gets Cool Reception
In Montgomery
By chorIes |. Hoffman

An ambitious proposed county
wide recreation program for
Montgomery County that would
cost taxpayers $485 900 a year is
drawing mixed and strong reac-
tionS.
The program presented to the
county council by Recreation Di-
rector Forest Gustafson would
mean an eight cent recreation
tax in its first year. This rate is
based on a sharply increased
assessable base expected to be
$500 million by July /.
What's more significant is that
this recreation tax would be
county wide-something entirely
new to upper county farmers and
communities. Even members of
the county council are not opti-
mistic about rural residents
willingness to accept any such
tax.
The program at this point is
purely theoretical. The county
although it has recreation de-
partment-at present has no
overall recreation program.
Has Had Own Program.
The heavily populated subur-
ban area has had its own recrea-
ton program for some years.
Residents support it through a
f1ve-cent tax, three cents of
which goes for the operation of
the program. The remaining
two cents is earmarked for re-
tirement of bonds issued for rec
reation center acquisition and
construction.
The suburban program is oper-
ated by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The county and the planners
until few months ago were ne
gotiating transfer to the county
of the suburban program. Nego-
tlationS were cut off, however,
when the county refused to dis
close the anticipated cost of it's
program.
Mr.. GustafSon's program was
drafted on the premise that the
county would be successful in

Cites County Authority.
County Attorney, David Mac
donald. who drafted the general
assembly bill to abolish the COM
mission, yesterday pointed out
the county would still have au-
thoriy to levy up to seven cents
(the present park tax rate) for
park acquisition, development
and maintenance.
Although Mr.. GustafSon's pro-
gram does not deal with park
lands, he points out that subur-
ban residents would pay two
cents in addition to the overall
tax rate for retirement Of bonds
issued by the planning commits
sion.
Mr.. Gustafson has declined to
compare the cost of his program
with that now administered by
the planning commission. First,
he points out his is countrywide.
Second, he says the planning
commission has been able to
transfer funds so that the &C

Before his death Kuhn worked
in a small chemical factory in
Munich.
The last entry in files of the
Associated Press on Kuhn is
dated February %, 1949. At that
time he was freed by German
appellate court in Munich which
cut his 10-year prison sentence
to the two years he already had
served.
Kuhn grinned at the decision,
said it was fair trial and told
neWsmen he would try to regain
the American citizenship which
was Cancelled in June, 1943, by
the United States District Court
in New York on grounds of
fraud.

The proposed program is a
extension of the planning COM
MISSIONS activities which are re-
ported to cost about $233. 900
this year.
The program would include
swimming pool construction and
operation. The planners now
have no swimming pools in their
recreation centers or parks.

els Cardinal Mcintyre, Archbishop
of Los Angeles.
President Robert J. Cox of Los

that the questionable decision
could lead to State monopoly of

in this State we're eventually 60

maintain our standards with those

cision is changed we will eventu-

Elder Roy l.. Benton, secretary
of the religious library association
of the Seventh Day Adventists,
said: THE fact that there was
doubt in the minds of three Judges
of the court is indicated by their
split decision. Since the legisla-
ture has spoken and the people
have spoken by their approval of

any doubt that tax exemption for
private schools, as in the other

In this manner:
This annual religious observance
of the holiday emphasizes for the
community the true character
which Catholics attach to the day
We realize that peace is the work
of justice, as Pope Plus XII has
eloquently declared on his Papal
Coat oil Arms. Political, industrial
and economic peace will be the
long desired fruit of the virtues OF
justice and charity applied specifi-
cally to labor relations. Unbridled
power and brutal force are the evi-
dence of a rampant spirit of greed
and selfishness. Peace and pros
perity cannot result from such
spirit. We are well aware that a
secularist philosophy which leaves
God out of human relationships
can no more succeed in industrial
life than it has anywhere else. We
condemn that philosophy in educa-
ton and business life. Ii cannot be
accepted as the way to social peace
and justice.
