CIO Charged With Anti-inion Activity
Winston-Saleni N. C, Jan. 2,^. I UP I The CIO today was charged wilh anti-union activity by a former organizer who said he was fired becau.se he tried to enroll his colleagues in an "or¬ ganizers' union" he had founded.
The charge wa.s filed with the sub-regional office of the Na¬ tional LKibor Relations Board here by Arthur Calvin Leonard, whn worked as an organizer in North Carolina textile mills last summer In the CIO's southern membership drive. Similar reports that an "or¬ ganizers' union'' had sprung up wiihin the CIO have been de¬ nied several limes by leaders of the organization's southern or¬ ganizing   committee.
I.*onard charged that his be¬ ing fired for "union activity" was a violation of the Wagner Act because it was an attempt to "discourage membership" in his  organizers'   union.

The spectacular techniques of gang murder were developed and perfected under his regime. Long before the army adopted the wea-: pon, Capone's killers began using j the Thompson sub-machine gun, i known in gkngland parlance as the; "Tommy"  or  "Chicago  piano." 1
Under his rule the "one-way ride"' developed and flourished. The bul¬ let-punctured bodies of scores of; rivals and double-crossers were found in dilihes beside lonely country roads, or In city alleys where they had been dumped at the  ride's end. j
Capone enjoyed Immunity from | Ihe law until IMl when the federal j government, using a new technique! to jail gangsters the income taxi law - completed a startling accui>i-! lation of evidence on his "fake" from Ihe r,ackcls. He was indicted! charged with withholding morel than 111,000.000 in income taxes j between 1924 and 1929. The govern-] ment .said the .syndicate took inj $95,000,000 in 1927 alone.

Washington, Jan. 18 (UP> — House RepOblicanj began muster¬ ing aruments tonight in an effort to prove that substantial tax re¬ ductions for persons in high income brackets are both possible and ne¬ cessary.
Republican members of the House ways and means committee contended that tax reductions would bring more "risk" capital in¬ to the market and thereby contri¬ bute to prosperity.
Rep. Rohert W. Kean (R., N.J.) cited these figures as proof that whal he called "soak-the-rich" ta.\ation of New Deal days had liquidated the bulk of venture capital:
In 1932 a married man who earned $100,000 paid $30,100 in fed¬ eral taxes. The man with an identical income today pays $63,127 in federal laxes. On a percentage base.s, the $100,000-a-year man had a 47.24 per cent decline in the net income between 19.'?2 and 1946.
A married man who earned $.5,000 in 1932 paid $100 in federal taxes. Today the $.'),000 man pays $798 in federal ta.xes. His net income has declined 14.24 per cent. Wants Even Cut
