LXXIIL, NO. 11,170 8 DEATHS IN NORTHWEST EARTHQ —_— 9 HIGH NAZIS GIVEN SENTENCES TO PRISON CELLS Found Gui—llr of Crimes from Aggression, Bru- tality, Murder (By the Associated Press) Nineteen high Nazis, found guilty by an American court of helping Hitler's horror program, were sentenced in Nuernberg to- day to jail terms ranging from four to 25 years. Standing in the same room whete Hermann Goering and other top Nazi leaders were convicted nearly three years ago, the 19 de- fendants heard themselves sen- tenced for crimes varying from ag-| gression to brutality and murder. Gottlob Berger, Lieutenant Gen- eral in the notorious SS, or Elite Guard, drew the heaviest term—an aggregate of 25 years. Best known of the 19, Baron Ernst von Weitzsaecker, got seven years. He is a former envoy to the Vatican and former State Secre- tary of the German Foreign Ministry. The defendants promptly appeal- | | fication, INCOME TAX CASE OF ALASKA STEAM IS EXPLAINED NOW Recent reports, that the Alaska Steamship Company filed suit at Juneau, to stop the Territorial Tax Commissioner from collecting income taxes withheld from crews, of company vessels, require clari- Admiral F. A. Zeusler, executive assistant to the President of the company states. The Alaska Net Income Tax Act, imposing a tax of 10 percent of the Federal Income Tax, became law on January 22. Commencing with the pay off of the crew of the steamer Chief Washakie, February 2, in accordance with instructions from the Tax Commissioner, the company has withheld the pre- scribed portion of the wages of all personnel concerned. This conformance was contested | by the unions representing vessel crews in view of the uncertainty regarding the validity of the law. At the same time the unions and the company invited the appearance and participation of the Attorney General of Alaska to represent the Territory. However, he declined to| appear and participate in the suit. As a result of this action. on Fecruary 4 the District Court of ed to have the verdicts and sen- tences set aside on grounds the U.:S. Tribunal which tried them ldcked jurisdiction. Such a motion has been made and rejected after nearly every one | of the 12 big war crimes mnl.s held by American courts in Nuern- | -Enbh defendant will receive a re- duction of sentence equal to the time he has spent in jail—about four years. Reading of the verdicts rang dbwn the curtain on thelast of the long series of war crimes by Ameri- can courts. In all, 1558 persons have been convicted of war crimes in the US. zone of Germany. Additional hundreds were found guilty by the British, French and Russians. the United States for the Western | District of Washington, northern |division, issued an injunction di- |recting the Alaska Steamship Company to place all withholdings in escrow pending further order. Then, on March 26 a second Ter~ ritorial income tax bill was passed.| This contained the same general provisions as the first which it superceded. It also increased the scope of application. A week later, on April 4 the same local district | court issued a supplementary in- | junction, ordering the Alaska | Steamship Company to place in ;escrcw withholdings made under the new law. However, that court does not |have jurisdiction in Alaska.

Then it hoped to take a 10-day Easter holiday. It has had a busy week: Predicted passage of the bill be- fore it today would push to well beyond $24,000,000,000—or over $170 for every man, woman and child in the United States—the appro- priations it has approved Monday. LARGEST SLICE By far the largest slice of this was the $16,000,000000 for the Army, Navy and Air Force it shoved through yesterday by a vote of 271 to 1. Only member to oppose it was Rep. Marcantonio NY). . Remarkably frank comments on the foreign situation and possizle developments highlighted debate on the defense bill. For example, Rep. Cannon signed Atlantic Pact gave the United States bases from which to “pulverize every military center in Russia” if necessary. “PIN” MONEY BILL Pin money by comparison was | another money bill passed by the a $595,890,000 House yesterday; emergency fund for veteran’s edu- | cation and unemployment benefits. These two were sent to the Sen- ate, which last night approved the | highly controversial $538,453473 de- | ficiency bill to round out funds for | a number of agencies for the year | ending June 30.
