PEACE DECLARATION
E
; By Tho Associated Press
A means of ending the' war
through a declaration of poaco
If the Germans fall to surrender
may be under consideration at
the Big Three conference, in
formed quarters suggested today
In London.
Supporting this possibility
was Prime Minister Churchill's
statement in a recent houso of
commons war rcvew that the
alllcil would fight the German
army until resistance ceases but
t some point mny declare the
-war at an end and treat holdout
naxis as guerrillas. ..,..,-,..
Storing Food
Various roundabout reports
.have said that the Germans al
ready are storing food and war
equipment in the central Ger
man hills for a last-ditch guer
rilla stnnd. Such resistance
groups might fnco death ns out
laws within their own country,
for guerrillas normally aro not
accorded military rights.
Germany's own history in this
wor provides a precedent for
such a procedure. After Polish
forcos had been thoroughly dis
organized in Germany's Invasion
of Poland those fighting behind
German lines were branded as
guerrillas.
Tokyo Worried
The Tokyo newspaper Yoml
url Hochl Shlmbun today re
flected some concern over the
possibility Russia might enter
the war against Japan as a re
sult of tho present conference.

of Japan that "wo must be fully

POWER SYSTEMS
OPPOSE TAX BILL
By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR.
SALEM, Feb. 10 (TP) Muni
cipal power systems were united
today in their opposition to a
Droposed 0 oer cent tax on their
gross operating revenues, but
counties, which would get a
share of the tax, favor it.
The bill would give three per
cent each of the operating rev
enues to counties,, school dis
tricts and the cities. A 1943 law
now taxes the municipal systems
three per cent, with all the pro
ceeds going to the cities.
W. S. Fort, attorney for the
League of Oregon Counties, told
the house utilities committee
that it is only justice to give
counties and school districts
their share of the revenue.
But Speaker of the House
Eugene E. Marsh, who appeared
as city attorney of McMinnville,
which operates its own system,
said the tax question should be
delayed until after the war. He
said . the proposed tax would
"cripple some postwar plans for
McMinnville."
' Reconsidera
The house voted 36 to 21 to
reconsider the vote by which it
defeated a memorial asking con
gress to kill any plans to cancel
deferments for farm workers.
The senate passed a house bill
changing the terms of justices
of the peace from 2 to 6 years
