Wheeler Uses Post Cord Method in Peace Drive (Continued from pajje 1) lho nearness to subversive activi ties and treason, the senator asserted: "Of course, no one should be too hard on the old man (Stlm- son). He Is In his second child hood, and sometimes acts a little gaga." The war secretary said only two such cards had been seen by the war department and added he did not know what proportion were sent to officers and men. When such appeals are address ed to soldiers, he said, the action "crossed the line of what General Marshall called sabotage." General George C. Marshall , the chief of staff, yesterday term ed "sabotage" attempts to have orricers and men oppose exten sion of their active duty. Marshall said it was against army regulations for a soldier to attempt to Influence legislation. Stimson exhibited cards bear ing Senator Wheeler's frank which he said were forwarded to Marshall by a staff sergeant at Fort Bnnnlng, Ga., and a first lieutenant at Fort Mcintosh, Tex. On the side bearing the address was this plea In boxed type: "Write the president today at the White House, Washington, that you are against our enlry Into the European war." On the reverse side were ex cerpts from speeches or state ments by President Roosevelt, former President Hoover, Sena tor Wheeler, Senator Nye (R., N.D.), former Ambassador Jo- Fishermen Attention!

Taft Plan Frowned On. General Marshall turned thumbs down today on a proposal by Senator Taft (R Ohio) to limit flie maximum active service of selectees, national guardsmen and reserves to 16 months. In a statement filed with the senate military committee, Gen eral Marshall said that Taft's plan "has great merit, but only as a long range plan for peace time procurement and training purposes." The present limit Is 12 months but the army wants to make the length of service indefinite, Marshall said: "The present grave Interna tional situation prompts me again to request that congress re move, by Joint resolution or some other form of legislation, the re strictive clauses in the present law affecting the reserve com ponents and selectees, In order that the war department may have the maximum flexibility to meet any situation which may arise. Committee attaches said they expected Marshall's statement to be followed later in the day by the submission of a war depart ment proposal that congress de clare a full emergency, in which the army could be placed on a war time footing. Biggest Tax Bill in U. S. nisrory sent to nouse (Continued from page 1) and gift taxes to produce $38, 000,000 more than was previously agreed upon tentatively. The tax on broadcusting, esti mated to produce about $4,500,- 000 annually, would be levied on the net time sales of a station, in excess of $100,000 to $500,000, in crease to 10 per cent on those from $500,000 to 51,000,000 and reach a maximum of 15 per cent on all above that sum. Persons engaged In renting billboard space to others would be required to pay an occupa tional tax of $5 yearly on every billboard of 300 square feet or less; $8 on those between 300 and 000 square feet and 511 on hose larger.

About $3OO,0i'O.O00 of the Indi v'drnl Income tax revenue was estimated to r-jiuit from a Di vision of the measure requiring that husbands and wives with separate Incomes make Joint rc Uirns.

In l-oosting tre corporation taxes, the committee concen trated chi.fly en excess profits hiking I Me rates which now range from 25 to 50 per cent to 35 to tiO pry cent and revamping tne meti'ori of c imputing suci profits. It also voted to Impose sur taxes of five per cent on the first $25,000 of taxable income and six per cent on all over that figure. Excess profits credits were revised somewhat so that firms computing that tax on the invested capital method would be allowed only seven per cent on Invested capital in excess of $5,000,000, instead of the present eight per cent. The latter would he retained on capital up to $5,- 000,000.

It Is only too clear that they are In no position to resist the pressure exercised U)on them." Arrives On Furlough Mar shall Hunt, who is stationed at Camp Murray, Wash., has arriv ed here to spend his ten days' fur lough visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hunt, on Reser voir avenue. Before going into the army, Mr. Hunt was employ ed nt the News-Review office. (By the Associated Press) ' Japanese warships were report ed today off Cape St. Jacques and Camranh bay, on the French Indo- China coast, after the French wera said officially to have yielded to Tokyo demands for air and naval bases In the French colony, stirring fears of a possible Japanese thrust south ward toward Britain's great naval base at Singapore and the rich Dutch East Indies, treasure-house of rubber, tin and oil. Dispatches from Saigon, Indo Chlna, declared also that 12 Ja panese troop transports were en route to Saigon, less than 700 miles by air from Singapore. Japan presented herself today as the guardian of French Indo Chlna against "Anglo-American imperialism" and the free French but aside from secret foreign of fice conferences at Tokyo, there were no indications of actual Ja panese moves. The foreign office-controlled Japan Times and Advertiser de clared that "Indo-China sees col laboration with Japan as the only salvation." Washington dispatches said the United States and Great Britain were ready to take swift and dras tic counteraction: 1. Sweeping economic restric tion on Japan by the United States, possibly including a "freeze" order on Japanese as sets in this country, nn embargo on oil and other vital materials, the halting of U. S. purchase of Japanese gold, and increased mili tary aid to China. 2. Possible military action by Great Britain. JAPANESE SHIPS DEFER LANDING IN AMERICA SAN FRANCISCO, July 24. (API More than 40 Japanese ships bound for U. S. ports were reported hove to pff shore today, as a result of Sumner Welles' de claration that Japan's latest move against French Indo-Chlna had endangered United States safety. It was understood they were awaiting orders from the Japan ese government. , Whether the action was due to reports that Japanese credits might be frozen in the United States was a subject ot consider able conjecture. The credits would have to be within a three-mile limit at sea before being subject to such nn ordr. and furniture were showered with glass. Japanese, Russians Clash- Few details were Immediately available on the reported clash between Japanese and Russian troops in the cast. Dispatches from Shanghai said the f:ghtlng was reported to have started last evening In the vi cinity of Changkufeng, the scene of a Russo-Japanese "vestpockct war" in the summer of 1938. There was no Immediate con firmation of the reports, which were said to have come from sources close to the Japanese mili tary, and Japanese army press headquarters in Shanghai said they had "heard nothing" of such fighting. Far east dispatches In recent days have Indicated that Japan would probably attack Russia from the east, along the Siber ian frontier, If and when Russia's red arrnies in the west collapsed under nazl invasion blows. Red Defense Holding .London advices, picturing the German onslaught as having lost its momentum, declared there had been no re grouping of nazl armies for a third assault In the 33-day-old conflict such as might explain the present slowdown. The red army's stand on the central sector was pictured In Moscow dispatches as the most brilliant resistance of the war and Russian troops were said to be still holding on grimly In the Smolensk sector a week after the Germans struck in that direc tion. (The German radio today re peatetd the claim that Smolensk has been In nazl possession since July 16 and said "order has now been fully restored there." The British radio, however, declared "there is every reason to believe that Smolensk is still in Ruslan hands.) Meanwhile, the London radio reported that 5,000 Serbs had risen up against the German con quest in Yugoslavia, attacking nazi garrisons and outposts. In one foray, 200 Serbs were said to have swooped down from mountain hiding places, attacked a garrison and returned to the hills with prisoners. British bombers continued their offensive against western Germany and dropped bombs and incendiaries. Berlin said there were a few casualties. Shortly after dawn today more British aircraft swept across the channel to renew their pounding of German objectives. German bombers attacked northwest England and Scot land during the night but were reported to have caused little damage. I - ...... Il II .
