Common Fox?

Until German-American Bundesfiihrer Fritz Kuhn proved last February that he could mass 20,000 followers at one time in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, he and his strutting Bundsters were to most New Yorkers a pack of Dutch comics. But his Garden show gave the shivers to libertarians and plain democrats, made him quarry worth hunting even though his own pack was well content with him. Last week the hounds, set at his heels by New York City's libertarian, Nazi-baiting Mayor LaGuardia, ran down Nazi Kuhn. Charged with plucking $14,548 of Bund funds, he was indicted, arrested, freed on mercifully low bail ($5,000).

"The indictment shows that he is just a common thief," announced Prosecutor Dewey, abridging the principle of English and U. S. law that indictments prove nothing. The twelve counts alleged that Fritz Kuhn: 1) stole $8,907 collected at the Bund's February rally in Manhattan; 2) stole $4,424 collected to defend six Long Island Bundsters who were convicted of violating the State Civil Rights Law last July; 3) stole $565 of Bund money to move the furniture of a blonde divorcee, Mrs. Florence Camp, from Los Angeles to Manhattan;-4) stole $151 to move Mrs. Camp's furniture to Cleveland; 5) stole $500 which supposedly was to pay a Bund lawyer; 6) forged Bund records in order to cover his tracks. Maximum penalty: 50 years in prison.

"It's all nonsense," said Fritz Kuhn.
