PAGE TWO" West Citixen IS HITLER DEAD? The saying, “A| dirty Irish trick”, was used long before any Key, Wester was born, but a local oldtimer, who said he had used the term many a time, suggested to The Citizen that. we now change the expres- sion to “A dirty Nazi trick.” : His reason for saying that was because he thought the Hamburg radio announce- ment _that \Hitler"had died and had been succeeded by Admiral Karl Doenitz was another “dirty ‘Nazi trick” designed to mis- lead the’ Allies. { Many: persons believe the announce- ment was a ‘‘phony’’, and ‘the chief reason for reaching that conclusion is because it | was declared in the statement that Hitler; the day before, had named Doenitz as the Fuehrer. 4 It was equivalent to saying that Hit- ler, who, according to ‘the same radio, ‘had been fighting in Berlin’ since the Russians had penetrated: that city, became aware | Monday that he was to be killed the next day,. “fighting to the last breath against } eR HES Puplitied Dally, Bxeegt Lory AR Ny! \ 0h ALLEN, Brom. @ Cittwen Comer Greene and Ang Streete Only Daily Newspaper in Key Weat and Monroe County ntered at Key West, Florida, as second class matter 2 IER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Assoctated Press ts exclusively entitted to ee for republication of all news dispatches credited jo Wt or not eorwise ate in this paper and so ‘the local’ news pubiféhed here. \ ‘ee Year Months ?

Despite that circumstance, Hitler may be dead; he might have died before Mon- day, might have died before last Saturday when The Citizen published an Associated Press dispatch about the reported deaths of him and Goebbels. SO But if Hitler is dead, what has become of Himmler, who, Hitler had announced many months ago, would become the Fuehrer after Hitler had passed on? Is Himmler dead too, or. had he and Hitler quarreled and broken off their relations? Finally, so far as the war in Europe is concerned, it is of no consequence whether’or not Hitler is dead: the war will be pressed toa successful conclusion. r oples of fany Other, nation “in a i THE BAIT SMELLS At a time when government is scratch- ing the bottom of the tax barrel to ‘find fundsZto meet current ‘obligations, it is the hdight of folly to propose a hundred- milliog-dollar ‘public expenditure annually to establish a Rural Telephone Administra- tion, Which after all the camouflage is re- moved, is just a device for putting the gov- ernment into the telephone business, the same as into the electric power business. Ig a country that-has more telephones than 4)! the rest of the world, there is no excus& ‘for the government spending tax- Qayers money in this manner. The. bill which would: authorize this $100,600,000 expenditure and a new gov- ernment bureau with high-salaried offi- cials, ould Joan money to small telephone companies for 134, percent, lower than they could possibly get ‘it any other way. Significantly, the small companies did not fail for the cheap money bait, for the \United States Independent Telephone As- sociatibn has gone on record in opposi- tion t@ the measure. ‘ Aside from their objection to govern- nent in business, the telephone companies oppose the Rural Telephone Administra- tion idea as contrary to the best: interests of thé United States, and of the farmer in gettirig telephone service. They feel that the Ipgical expansion of the industry as private enterprise, will get more telephones to more people more quickly, when mate- _ vial and manpower are available, than would: any political agency.
