Minneapolis Income tax problems reflecting the agricultural nature of the state dominated discussions among lawyers attending the annual short course on taxation at the University of Minnesota last week. Typical down-to-earth problems daughter 300 head of sheep; must statesmen could be in those tragic that the full texts of the Chambers documents would bore most people to tears. As reliably described, the papers fall into five catoories: First, full texts of cables from the Paris and other embassies; second, sets of typewritten sheets containing brief summaries of cables; third, three summaries in what is alleged to be the handwriting of Alger Hiss; fourth, certain notes on Nav a 1 intelligence in the a writing of a er official whose name has not yet been disclosed; and, fifth and finally, original copies of completely unimportant Navy technical orders on such fascinating topics as light switches. FOR ANYONE who remembers the dark Munich period, the documents may have a certain nostalgic interest. From London, it is understood, former Ambassador Joseph P.

Kennedy reported that the then Italian Ambassador Count Grand! was made very happy by Neville Chamberlain's accession to power. From Berlin, the American charge, Prentiss Gilbert, sent word 'that representatives of the European neutrals were fearful that the United States would encourage Britain not to appease Hitler, and from Paris came the report that one of the sillier French ministers, Yvon Delboe, had been much cheered up by Hitler's interest in the "humanizatlon of warfare." Besides reams of such stuff, there are apparently one or two documents of slightly more recent significance. A long intelligence report from China, for instance, shows that Colonel, later General, Joseph W. Stilwell sympathized with the Chinese communists even in 1938. Add up the whole, however, and the best judges assert there is not line, a fact or an incident which thrown before a panel of tax ex-(should cause a tremor in any for- perts by lawyers from all over Min- eign office in the world today, un- nesota included: "Suppose a farmer gives less foreign offices are wise enough his to tremble to see what fools eminent she pay Income tax on those sheep?" "Is fertilizer bought in quantities deductible all in one year or may it be reported over several years?" Many questions were involved.

Answers were technical, and sometimes even the experts disagreed. Purpose of the short course, which is conducted annually by the University In cooperation with the Minnesota State Bar association, Is to keep lawyers up to date on new and complex rulings in federal and Company officials said the tax law.

IF THE DOCUMENTS disclose anything at all, in short, they prove that the security of the American government was then virtually nonexistent.

But everyone who reasonably well-informed has always known that this was the case. Right down to and after Pearl Harbor, the State department's codes were considered to be so hopelessly Insecure that President Roosevelt customarily passed his more important messages through the Navy communications net. The chances are that most of these very documents, secured by Chambers with such toil and fear, were far more easily obtained by the cryptographers of half a dozen foreign nations by a simple expedient of decoding radio intercepts. Furthermore, this absence of American security in the years up to the outbreak of war was a natural phenomenon, resulting from the obvious fact that the United States did not then have a foreign policy. We have now acquired a foreign policy, and with it we have acquired an elaborate security system, widely admired and envied abroad.

What the present thus boil down' to is simply an attempt to prove whether the indi- jvlduals accused by Chambers, such as Hiss and the late Harry White, are or are not guilty as charged. The trial of Individuals is surely a matter for the courts, and not for committees of Congress. IN THE PRESENT Instance, It is true that if the accused plead the statute of limitations (which Hiss emphatically has not done) the case against them will collapse.

Police Inspector Albert Jones said the man arrested had a previous record for molesting children. He said the department Rad "nothing definite as yet," adding the man was picked up for questioning only on the basis of his record. The victim's parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph A. Klnsinger, discovered the child's blood-soaked body by the upset telephone about midnight. Deputy Coroner Stanley Guzenskl pronounced it "the worst child-killing I have seen." He said the "deed could only have been performed by an adult." Police said the girl was fully clothed with toe exception of shoes and stockings and that a preliminary investigation did not show any evidence of rape. Czech Spy Nabbed In American Zone Frankfurt, Germany --VP-- The arrest of Jaroslav Zajicek; described as "a self-confessed Czechoslovakian Intelligence agent" sent to the American zone of Germany to spy on Czech refugees.

The announcement said Zajicek, began to keep the documents transmitted to hlin by bis contacts. He says further that he left the party, and ceased to receive documents, in the spring of 1938. His story really ends over ten years ago. At the same time, the shocking unfairness of such herpes of thfr House un-American activities committee as the un-mourned J.
