"IT SEEMS" TO ME that the
Swiss newspapers which' protest
the urging of the United States
- and Great Britain that they' deny
refuge, to "war criminals are on
" sound ground. The Lausanne Ga
' zette is quoted as saying: s; v :
" "We would lose one of the most
essential privileges "of an inde-
pendent state if we bowed to for-
eign interference in this sphere."
The admittance of persons from
: other - states is a matter for the
- determination of the state itself.
Extradition of criminals proceeds
, strictly according to treaties en-
- tered into. A free state like Swit
i lerland can decide for Itself whe-
. ther it will admit Mussolini or
; Hitler , and whether it would re-
, lease either on the demand of their
I home countries or on demand of
. their victorious enemies; y .' .?
Right of asylum t is ancient
Greek temples were places of re
fuge for slaves, politicians fleeing
from their enemies, and criminals.
In modern times this right of po--litical
asylum has been commonly
! resorted, to ;as minority: leaders

' fly-from their own countries. Maz-
zini took refuge in England.: Trot

Q10-a-Year Tax on Juke Boxes
Declared Unconstitutional
By RALPH C. CURTIS
The "juke box tax ol $10 a
. year, one feature of Rep. i John
Steelhammer's ? bill in the ? 1943
legislature which also provided a
tax on pinball r machines, - all for
the further, enhancement of the
old age assistance fund, was ruled
unconstitutional Friday by a
three-man panel ' of Multnomah
county circuit judges.
This tax is . discriminatory,
Judges Alfred P. Dobson," Ashby
C Dickson and Earl C Latourette
ruled, for the reason that it taxes
only coin-in-the-slot music vend
ing machines, and not similar ma
chines which -vend other "arti
cles of value.?- ,- r - -
The suit was ; initiated by . Sol
Fox, a jtuke box operator, .and
was defended by the state through

congress summerrecess cut, short
so efforts, cbulo" be made' to 'over
ride the man-power chief.
McNutt told Wheeler he author
ized the drafting of fathers when
it became, necessary after October
1 because such action was imper
ative to protect war industries
against the loss of childless men
they must keep to maintain pro
duction. , ; - - ;,.-:V-.-;- -.v.
1 Meanwhile, ' national selective
service headquarters reaffirmed a
promise to hold off actual induc
tion of fathers as long after Oc
tober 1 as possible and to bring
all states and communities to the
point of drafting them at about
the same time. 1
! Wheeler, unappeased, said from
Belton, Mont., he was telegraph
ing requests to , Senator Barkley
of Kentucky, state , democratic
leader, and speaker Ray burn of
Texas that congress be recon
vened "earlier than Sept. . 14", to
deal with the 'situation. .
McNutt released at Washington
an , exchange of telegrams with
Wheeler ' revealing that' the sena
tor was ' not ' entirely in accord
with the man-power chiefs con
tention that the drafting - of. fa
thers, was the only, alternative to
risking war production failures by
taking non-fathers off - crucial
work, ..r it ' y m; ' . i; 5 V '- '

ment on Wheeler's request to re
convene congress. -I
Senator Barkley at bis borne at

received Wheeler's request and,
likewise, had no comment.
