Dougherty, district supervisor of the federal tax unit of Pennsylvania, traced the early history and more recent accomplishments of the organization in a radio talk given from WFBG Thursday night. He described the opposition met in the early days to collect the tax and the indignities suffered by the agents to enforce the collection.

While the unit is comparatively a new organization, he said, having been established in 1934, it has done much to suppress the Illegal traffic in liquor. The government, he asserted, is winning its war against the bootlegger. Despite the fact that bootlegging has been a major problem in the country for over 150 years, Mr. Dougherty was of the opinion that it will be only a matter of a few years until the amount of money which the bootlegger defrauds the government will be of an Insignificant sum. The alcohol tax unit of which Mr.

Dougherty Is district supervisor is a branch of the bureau of internal revenue, which Is in turn part of the Treasury department, and it covers the whole United States in 15 regional districts. The state of Pennsylvania forms the third district, the headquarters be. ing in the New Custom House, Philadelphia, and branch offices maintained in Pittsburg and Wilkes Barre. Although temperature extremes in the British Isles are not so great as in the United States, the British are showing widespread interest in air-conditioning.

American Executed In Germany BERLIN. June 4 uFi Germany's guillotine today chopped off the head of Helmuth Hirsch, Jewish lad charged with treason and for whom American diplomats vainly sought clemency because of his United State citizenship. Hirsch was born in Germany and never lived in America but he inherited citizenship from his Chechoslovakian grandfather who was naturalized in New York during an eight-year residence there. Reliable sources said today the 21-year old Hirsch specifically was charged with plotting to assassinate Julius Streicher, anti-semiiic leader and lieutenant to Reichs-fuehrer Adolf Hitler. He was tried secretly anj details of evidence were withheld.

Previously there had been reports that Hirsch was alleged to have drafted a plan to kill Hitler. Diplomatic circles generally were agreed tonight that Chancellor Hitler signed the death warrant despite American representations as another indication he is determined to let the world know that anybody who offends Germany must expect unrelentng reprisal. The execution was carried out in Ploetzenzee prison. A 20-year-old German, Oscar Denner, was executed with Hirsch on an identical charge of high treason. The new, mechanical guillotine was used.

It recently had been substituted for the ancient heads-axe, formerly official weapon for capital punishment. Hirsch was arrested last Dec. 20 upon arrival from Praha, allegedly with two "infernal machines." (bombs). Only a ten-line notice in evening newspapers and brief billboard notice announced the execution to the German populace. The American embassy had not received tonight a transcript of evidence which Ambassador William E.

Dodd had requested. He was told that this evidence was secret and must remain so until after the death sentence tad been carried out. for him. They made several attempts to obtain a reprieve, but to no avail. HIRSCH never had been in America, but his grandfather, a Czechoslovakia, had lived here eight years and become naturalized.

It is a roundabout citizc ship, but some sections of the American press likely will make much of it.

AGITATORS rOUCE always look for the agitators after a riot. Usually, they don find any. They are still looking for th fellows to blame for last Sunday's steel strike battle in Chicago in which seven persons were killed. MOST riots and mob action are caused by the fellow in the rear who yells. "Go get 'em, fellows'." Somebody shouted that, or words to that effect, out in Chicago, Nobody knows who it was.

of course. MRS. Joseph Rothmund, whose husband was killed in the riot, testified at an inquest that he had been a communist, a WPA worker and a baker. She said he had been out of work, and that so far as she knew he never had been a steel worker. She testified, too, that she understood he was a member of the CIO.

Which rather complicate things. SIDE ISSUES AND TAXES SEVERAL years ago. people were up in arms about the high taxes and the high cost of government But most of those movements have fa'-len through. Thty gave it up. as a bad job apparently.

PEN VL AN UN seem to become resigned to con-tantly increasing taxes. Gov-ernmer. is becoming so expensive that if it keeps up, government will be duty bound to eliminate itself for the public welfare- NEWSPAPERS not long ago published a picture of a sign hanging out in front of a gasoline station. It read: ''State and government taxes collected here. Also sell gasoline and oil A news item from Harris-burg Thursday informed the public that a $1 tax was placed on every gasoline pump in Pennsylvania to finance a legislative investigation of the oil industry.

THE BRAIN AND SOUL THE heart has been considered the home of the soul, at least figuratively, by most poets and philosophers. Some Chinese mediators said it should have been the brain, instead LO-TSU once said, "It is possible to know the greatest of a man's soul by the depth within his eyes-'" Sir John Redding, a brilliant but little known English writer and ptiiosopher, said. "Men of big minds never will die. The brain's essence is the soul, and it therefore follows that a dullard very likely is living his one and only Hit in the flesh." WHETHER they ar right wrong, it is a fact that there is such to leam about the human brain. Recently there came the report from Pittsburg of a woman of SS who with only half a brain has learned in six months to do nearly everything she could do with a whole brain.

WITH a half a brain she she rates an intelligence quotient of 115 on the Standford-Binet Kale. This is the mark of a superior adult mind and equals her oooe whole mind. THE entire right hemisphere of her brain was removed in a recent operation. Her case was reported to the American Psychiatric association by Dr- Stuart N. Rowe, Pittsburg, for several weeks after Ce operation, her left side was paralyzed.

The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. But to the amazement of physicians, she has nearly recovered the control of her left side. She is able to walk again and her mind and her personality are nearly back to normal. She does not readily recall events that happened before the operation, but otherwise her mind is clear. IN an address before the American J'eurological association recently Dr.

Henry H. Donaldson, of Philadelphia said the intelligence of human beir.gs ranging all the way from idiots to Nobel prize winners depends largely on the brain's blood supply. THE size of the brain, he said, and the number of ceils it has remain about constant in all human beings, regardless of their intellect, whether it be criminal, idiot, ordinary individuals or noted thinkers. "RECENT work has shown," said Dr. Donaldson, "that in highly intelligent persons the blood vessels feeding the brain are larger and more numerous.

Thus, the machine is alike for all, but the fuel fed to it is different for each HE added that quality and chemical makeup of brain cells undoubtedly is an important factor in determining intelligence, but impossible at present to calculate. AMERICAN EXECUTED SOME American newspapers "played up" the execution in Germany of an American citizen. Helmuth Hirsch, 21, was beheaded on charges of treason Technically, this youth was an American citizen.
