Trondhelm area, S00 miles below
the Arctic circle.
German broadcasts said the
state of civil emergency decreed
there embraced large sections of
two surrounding provinces as
well as the great Trondhelm port
region.
The emergency was pro
claimed, Berlin broadcasts said,
because of recent sabotage at
tempts "which If they had suc
ceeded would have endangered
Norway's supply system."
The Berlin radio broadcast a
DNB dispatch from Oslo which
quoted Josef Terboven, German
commissar for Norway, as saying
the order was "nothing but justi-
tied German reaction to criminal
acts committed by Norwegian
radicals.
Another ' German broadcast
heard In London said the emer
gency decree was accompanied
by a declaration that anti-Ger
man outbreaks "will be broken
by force of arms."
A Reuters dispatch from
Stockholm quoted Swedish press
reports yesterday that 3000 to
4000 German soldiers had been
imprisoned for a mutiny at Alta
In far northern Norway, and that
17 officers had been cashiered
and 43 soldiers sentenced to
death.
German broadcasts took an at
titude of official astonishment at
Denmark's attitude.
"Strict reserve is shown by
competent . German circles in
commenting on rumors current
abroad to the effect that the sit
uation in Denmark had become
tense," said one DNB , dispatch
broadcast from Berlin,
"It is pointed out, however,"
the dispatch added, "that the
.situation there is not quite as
might be expected in view of
the extremely correct attitude
shown by all German authorities
In Denmark.

the month, and there were four
false alarms. Fires were report
ed as follows: dwellings, 1;
hotels, apartment houses, 4; mis
cellaneous, 15. One fire was
caused by defective wiring, one

In the Maryland claim, the Ital

The Mississippi is the oldest
of three battleships grouped by
the United States as the New
Mexico class. They are the
Idaho and New Mexico, each
33,400 tons, and the 33,000-ton
Mississippi, which was complet
ed December 18, 1917.
Each of these battleships
mounts 12 14-inch and 12 five
inch guns as her chief weapons
and each carries three planes and
two catapults from which to
launch them.
All three were modernized be
tween 1930 and 1934, when they
were fitted with heavier pro

and anti-torpedo bulges. During
1941, their anti-aircraft batter
ies were strengthened and their

agitation for a second front
reached a crescendo In Moscow
and evoked a new warning from
Prime Minister Churchill not to
press matters. . ,
"We are quite clear that no
statement from His Majesty's
government is called for at the
present time further than those
already given," Churchill told
parliament in London,
Churchill's comment was in
reply to a question as to whether
the government had any state
ment to make on Premier
Stalin's letter to the Associated
Press bureau chief In Moscow,
in which Stalin called upon the
allies to "fulfill their obliga
tions fully and on time."
Churchill went on:
"I have really nothing to add
certainly not on the spur of
the moment to the carefully
weighed statement I have made
on this subject, and I would
strongly advise the house not to
press these matters at a period
which is certainly significant."
The British war leader warned
last week against speculation on
the possible time and place of
allied offensive actions.
In Moscow, the sharpest Rus
sian editorial expression to date
on the lack of a second front
appeared in a Pravda cartoon
showing a group of "Colonel
Blimp"-type generals listening
dumbly to two strong officers
labelled "General Decisiveness"
and "General Courage."
The stiffed-shirt officers were
tagged with such names as "Gen
eral Cannot Risk," "General No
Hurry" and "General Let's
Wait."
Soviet newspapers gave front
page prominence to Stalin's let
ter to the-Associated Press.
Wild Fighting
Simultaneously, in far oft
Chungking, China, Wendell . L.
Willkie expressed hope - that
Stalin's letter would "bring Rus
sia's.imperative needs forcefully
to the attention of the peoples
of the United Nations."
Wild street fighting continued
inside Stalingrad and in the
northwest outskirts, while above
the city, op a 40-mile front be
tween the Don and Volga rivers,
the Russians hammered new
dents in the vital German left
flank.
Two soviet bulletins told of
progress against the so-called
German "barrier" guarding the
main nazi siege armies.

First Enemy Plane-Spotter
Thrilled by Elevators in 4
First Trip Away From Home
PORTLAND, Oct. 8 W
Sighting an enemy plane just
can't compare to riding an ele
vator for thrills.
Just ask Howard Gardner,
who now. has done both.
Gardner was the forest serv
ice lookout who saw the plane,
presumably Japanese, fly In
from the sea September 9 and
drop an' Incendiary bomb in
Southern Oregon timber near
Brookings.
As the first civilian defense
lookout to sight an enemy craft,
he was, Invited to Portland by
the Oregon defense council. It
was his first trip of more than
100 miles away from his native
Curry county.
He took most of the city's
hustle and bustle in stride ex
cept for the elevators.
"Gives me a tunny feeling in
the stomach," he explained.
At a chamber of commerce
luncheon he described the Sep
tember 9 attack. The plane flew

Roosevelt Says
American Labor
Doing Its Job
TORONTO, Oct. 6 W) Presi
dent Roosevelt, praising the
"splendid" production record of
United States workers, told the
American Federation of Labor
today in a message to its con
vention here he was sure "they
can take whatever It takes to
win this war."
"Everywhere during my re
cent Inspection of war activity,
I found the workers doing all
that was laid out for them and
more," said the president's mes
sage. "At every' turn they gave as
surance that they can take what
ever it takes to win this war.
"They are not afraid of hard,
continuous, precise and danger
ous work. They are walking up
to it as their duty and part in
the war. They are proud of it."

close to his lookout station, and
he complained, "I could havo
shot It with my rifle, If I had
known it was a Jap,"
Without shooting, though,
Gardner did all right. He re
ported the plane by telephone
to an army filter center, arid an
army patrol plane bombed a
submarine off the coast later
that morning. It was not an
nounced whether the bombs de
stroyed the sub, which presum
ably launched the plane Gard
ner saw,
Gardner, who helped put out
the fire started by the Incendiary
bomb, said he did not sea the
bomb released. When first seen,
the plane was four miles away,
It circled, then headed to sea,
coming within 200 yards of his
stntlon. The craft had no dis
tinguishing marks' and he could
not see the pilot.
Someone asked, "how do you
know It was a Jnp, then?"
"By the egg It laid," Gardner
said.
5 Jap Prisoners
From Aleutian;
Land on Coast
A PACIFIC NORTHWEST
PORT, Oct. 8 (P) Taken In
naval action in the Aleutians,
five Japanese were landed re
cently at a Pacific- northwest
port and whisked away under
guard to a previously prepared
detention spot, it became known
today.
An official source confirmed
that the prisoners were handed
over to the army by the navy
after their capture In the north
ern war zone. They were the
first Japanese prisoners of war
to arrive in the Pacific north
west and were believed to ba the
first in the continental United
States.
Behind their capture and ar
rival In the states there lies a
dramatic story of an engagement
not yet officially released, said
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
which' added that one of the five
was an officer, believed at one
time to have been a Seattle resi

mol and surlux rule should not
exceed 40 per cent, wo gave
careful consideration to the ef
fect of such n rnto upon our
economy and iiIno considered the
effect of the. rnWis levied by
other countries," George said.
In some Instances, at least,
the lax rate Is higher than that
of Great Britain, the senator's
figures showed,
"If wo look at tho first bruekut
of Individual Income tax rales
under this bill," ho said, "we
will find that tho total normal
and surtax into amounts lo 10
per cent. In addition, tho 5 per
cent vctory tax raises this total
to 24 per cent. It we udd to
this the 40 per 'cent Imposed
upon corporations, we will have
total rata of 64 per cent on
individual incomes as compared
with tho British ratu of 50 por
cent. Moruover, In Croat Brit
ain, no state or local tuxui are
imposod."
George said the committee
gave careful consideration to
the recommendations of Chair
man Donald Nelson of tho war
production board In fixing tho
excess profits rate at 90 pur
cant with a 10 per cent post
war refund, given In non-negotiable,
non-Interest bearing bauds
payable after tho war. He gavo
four main reasons for tho post
war credit:
"1. With a high corporate tux,
it will give tho tuxpuyor an lm
mcdlato incentive to make the
corporation more efficient In its
operation and keep Its costs
down to a reasonable basis.
"2. It will allow more Imme
diate revenue to the government
than could otherwise be secured
under high rates.
"3. It will provide the corpor
ation with a post-war reservo to
enablo it to undertake the task
of rehabilitation and readjust
ment after the war.
"4. By having a tendency to
hold down costs, It will offset
somewhat tho effect of an 'un
duly high excess profits tax up
on Inflation."
George estimated the broad
ening of the Individual Income
tax base by reducing the per
sonal exemptions would add ap
proximately 7,000,000 new tux
payers, with 600,000 more added
by a reduction of tho credit for
dependents from $100 to $300.
