Ashcan

Submitted as evidence in the Manhattan trial of Fritz Kuhn, leader of the German-American Bund, was a letter from Presidential Aspirant Tom Dewey (see col. 1), in which he remarked that for Fritz Kuhn "the ashcan is the best place." The jury, after eight and a half hours of argument over whether or not Fritz Kuhn was guilty of stealing from his Bund funds, agreed with Mr. Dewey.

This week Fritz Kuhn heard his sentence: two and a half to five years in prison.
