Plan to Punish War Leaders Backed by Stalin
The Soviet government backed an immediate special tribunal to punish Axis leaders, naming Hess, Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, von Ribbentrop, and Rosenberg as organizers of German atrocities. The note follows Allied plans and cites crimes in occupied countries. The proposal echoes Roosevelt’s and Churchill’s positions while stressing Soviet responsibility for those crimes.

Delinquent Tax Law Works Out Well in Arkansas
In Little Rock on October 15 1941 the delinquent personal tax collection law proved successful during its first full year. Assistant Comptroller J. Bryan Sims reported increased collections above fees paid to collectors in all counties, confirming effective operation. The record notes informal reports reaching the comptroller’s office. The mention of Los Angeles covering 451 square miles appears out of place.
