i 1 35 ;!;" 3 t"' pr SIX Record Tax Measure Tackled in Conference , (Continued from page 1) would npproneli $15,000,000,000, , howovfr. Pension Plan Still Pends To win fnst spnnto approval of the tax measure leaders had to make two Important concessions: 1. They dropped a finance com mittee amendment, estimated to raise $50,000,000 a year, which would have prevented husbands and wives in communily properly slates Irorn dividing income, for , tax purposes. Such property di vision now Is permitted in eight states, among them Washington, nnd usually results In lower total tax liabilities for married couples. 2. They promised pension advo- cates that the finance committee would consider promptly a pro nosal to give S30a-month pen sions to all persons over GO. The pension plan had been onereci as a rider to the tax bill. The senate and house bills now will go before a joint conference committee for the adjustment of differences. The senate's action In lowering Income tax exemptions from $2, 000 to $1,500 for married persons and from $800 to $750 for Bingle persons topped the list of contro versial Issues between the two chambers. Auto Under $5 Levy . Biggest In history,, the meas ure carries $.'!7,500,000 more than similar legislation officially approved by the house. Toward the end of the debate, the senate approved, 35 to 32, the controversial $5 annual use tax on automobiles. This levy, , previously approved by the house and estimated, to yield $100,200, 000 annually, was opposed vigor ously by Senator La Follette (Prog., Wis.) La Follette contended It "Is the most unjust Item In the en tire bill." "Thy and explain this away when you get home," La Follette said. "This puts the same tax on an old palopy with $15 and a long-nosed specially built auto ' mobile." Four American Recruits For RAF Die in Sea Blow (Continued from page 1) mandcr asked If any officers were on hoard. "He seemed to be ashamed of what he'd done and asked us what caused the explosion. He said he had not fired a torpedo. "I asked him If he could irlvo us any water. He said ho couldn't spare uny hut gave us four tins of meat and two bottles of rum." Beattle said that when the submarine moved off It accident ally struck a wobbly lifeboat and the lifeboat's stern dipped. "The submarine commander apologized," said Beattle, adding that be was German. ! Heattie said the survivors clung to the lifeboat and rafts for 12 hours before being picked up by a Polish warship. Altogether there were 11 American ulrmcn on the ship, all said to have had commercial fly ing experience In the United States and In addition RAF train ing In Canada.

That, finally, "Mr. Roose velt In this way also Is trying with all means at his disposal to provoke Incidents in order to Invite the American people into war against Germany." DRIVE AGAINST NAZI BLOCKADE MAY RESULT (By the Associated Press) 'No comment" was the U. S. navy's reply today to questions about the German statement) claiming self-defense in attack ing the destroyer Greer, while observers foresaw possible stern diplomatic action. One point made by the nazi statement was that the attack oc curred within the German block ade zone, a zone which Mr. Roose velt said had no recognition here. Mr. Roosevelt told reporters yesterday that the navy was seeking the submarine with thd Intention of eliminating it if found. Speculation immediately arose, that the hunt and "eliminate" policy might result In a general drive by warships of the Atlantic patrol to seek out and, if pos sible, destroy any hostile craft operating along the northern sea lanes. Last spring the Germans an nounced u blockade zone around Iceland and warned that any ship "under any flag" which ventur ed Into those waters would be torpedoed. The United States has never recognized this zone. In this connection President, Roosevelt explained to press conference yesterday that a blockade to be legal has to be ef fective while that around Iceland obviously Is not. Will Deliver Goods Senator Leo (D., Okla.) said he believed the American people would ' "agree heartily" with President Roosevelt's stand on the Incident. "We Intend to deliver the goods and If any more obstacles get in our way they can expect to bo shot at," said Lee. "I don't think the recent incident will lead to a declaration of war. We don't need such a declaration, because we already have said we are go ing to deliver the goods and the German chancellor has said that If ships come under his guns they will be attacked. "We should take such Incidents as this In our stride. When they THE DEPOT ft05EBUR5 NeWS-REVIIW, ROSEBUDS, PRESON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1941. HAVEN'T - FOOTED OUT SPENT T.

The German charge that the Greer was the deliberate aggres sor with the nazi submarine was received unbelievingly In the capital and Chairman Connally (D,. Texas) of the senate foreign relations commute declared that tne nazis might as wen learn now that we are going to defend our ships and our citizens." It was the opinion of Senator Capper (R., Kas.) that there were "some misstatements" In the nazi version. "I can hardly be lieve that the president would or- j der warships to attack In an ef fort to incite the people Into war," Capper said. Senator Connally broadened his statement to add: 'The fact that the nazis admit a German submurlne was involv ed amounts to an admission that it was acting under orders of the nazi government In firing on our destroyer. Defense Vowed. "This spirit of assassination, disregard for the rights of other nations and arrogant contempt for the United States dragged us Into the last war. "We do not want to become In volved in the present war, but if our ships or citizens are attack ed we are going to defend them." Connally said that the Greer's action in dropping depth bombs "may slow up the Germans in their attacks on our ships." He said he believed it pos sible that the submarine actually had been sunk and that the Ger man communique was merely "a ruse to make It appear that the U-boat had not been sunk." Officials here were especially interested In learning whether the Greer was attacked in a de liberate move to challenge this country's expressed policy of keeping hostile craft out of the sea lanes to Iceland, where Ameri can armed forces are stationed.

The Russian government news paper, Izvestla, said 82,000 civil ian volunteers had ripped up the cobblestone paving to complete breastworks for a street-to-street defense If necessary. Kiev, the mother of Russian cities and capital of the Ukraine, continued to stave off a semi circle of German assaults which have endangered it for weeks. Wild Cossack cavalrymen, skilled with carbine and sabre In the military style of an earl ier day, were credited by the Russians with wreaking continu al havoc behind the German lines, lessening the fury of the mod ern mechanized thrusts of the. nazis and capturing supplies. Fires Rage In Leningrad But It was at Leningrad on the north, separated from Odessa bv the width of a continent, that the battle raged with greatest heat and least respite. The Russians said counter-attacks had hurled the Germans bade a mile or more, and the Germans claimed to be no near er than 20 miles from the citv. But already it has been under direct artillery fire for more than 24 hours, and the Finnish forces pressing down from the north said they could see great fires raging in the cltv which Peter and Great established ir the marshes at the head of the Gulf of Finland. The Russians said units of one German division had been re pelled with 700 dead, but did not specify the location. Seizure of 18 cannon, eight howitzers and other equipment was reported by the soviet communique. A Finnish communique describ ed the old capital of Russia's czars and the birthplace of the red revolution as a citv doomed, and said hunger and sickness stalked its millions, every one of whom able to bear arms had been hurled into the fight to stave off assault.

Germans reported today their bombers attacked the Suez can al area last night, causing de struction and fires at the Ismallia airport. The night before, the high command said, three freight ers totaling 14,000 tons were sunk. Military experts In London have been predicting that a dead locked front in Russia this win ter may bring a revival of the German-Italian offensive In the Mediterranean, with one axis spearhead driving from Libya to ward Suez, and the other from the Balkans or Russia into the middle east. The sinkings announced by London today brought to nine the number cf ships reported sunk or damaged by the British in the last 48 hours. Yesterday the admiralty reported the prob able sinking of another liner of 23,000 tons which was believed carrying troops, the torpedoing of a 10,000 cruiser, sinking of a destroyer outside Tripoli, the sinking of two supply ships in convoy and the damaging of two others.
