Fall of Former Capital Ex
acted Momentarily, Says
German Command
By The Associated Press
BERLIN, July 30.—The German
.r.mies on the Leningrad front are
fighting their way to a “fast ap
proaching important decision” and
this second largest Russian city is
now in a precarious situation, Ger
man sources said tonight.
(The Associated Press was in
formed in New York the German
Finnish drive on Leningrad had
made such progress that the Ger
man high command expects the
{all of the city at any time.)
German forces both north and
south of Leningrad are exerting a
pincer squeeze which the Germans
believe seals the fate of this great
Soviet Western port, jvhich, as St.
Petersburg, once was the capital
of the Czars.
Two Russian divisions have been
destroyed west of Lake Peipus in
Estonia, on Leningrad’s southwest
ern front. German dispatches said,
and the Germans there were de
clared to have poured in between
Leningrad and large Russian units
in Estonia which formed part of
the outer defenses of the Lenin,
grad area.
Close Quarter Fighting
Fighting was at close quarters
with hand grenades and automatic
pistols. The Russians’ retreat ap
parently was cut off, and the Ger
mans asserted that these units
were doomed to certain annihila
tion.
The Germans also continued to
express complete satisfaction with
the progress of German-Finnish
forces pushing down on Leningrad
from the nijrth across the Karelian
isthmus, completing the Leningrad
squeeze. The German radio stated
that these German-Finnish units
carried out attacks successfully
despite the fact that retreating Rus
sian forces poured oil in their for
ests and set them afire.
Important Decisions
The Germans also predicted im
portant decisions soon on the Smo
lensk front, along the path of the
main westward drive on Moscow.
They called attention again to
day, however, to the extensive na
ture of the engagements on the
eastern front and asserted that
because of the distances involved
even a blitz offensive cannot be

Kremlin
Receives
Hopkins
F, R.’s Aide Hears Stalin
Jell of Smashing Rus
sian Victories
MOSCOW, July 30.—Wl—Harry L.
Hopkins heard from Joseph Stalin
in a Kremlin conference tonight
what kind of American equipment
would help the Red army, whose
boynet counter-charges were re
ported to have put the Germans
on the defensive in some sectors.
The lease - lend administrator
talked with Stalin as Prendent
Roosevelt’s personal representative
a short time after arriving in Mos
cow by plane. There was no im
mediate announcement on the out
come of the conference on pur
chasing and delivery of American
war materials. Vyacheslav Molo
tov, Soviet foreign commissar and
U. S. Ambassador Laurance A.
Steinhardt were present.
(Acting Secretary of State Sum
ner Welles said in Washington that
lease-lend aid was not contem
plated in Russian war orders now
being placed in Washington.)
Jubilant Claims
Hopkins’ visit came as Moscow
read the most heartening mi’hary
news in days. The Communist
newspaper Pravda said Soviet
troops beat repeatedly at the in
vaders in a series of far-spread
attacks, turning some Nazi thrusts
into slow and bloody retirement
after checking drivers on Moscow,
Kiev and Leningrad.
Pravda listed as typical an at
tack by a Red army unit which
waded chin-deep through a swamp
and charged a German battalion
with bayonets. The Germans were
said to have been rputed.
Although it did not comment di
rectly on Hopkins’ arrival, a Prav
da article by Alexei Tolstoy, well
known Soviet author, said Germa
ny would be “helpless to halt the
unwinding springs of American
war industry.’’
He added that British determina
tion to continue the western fight,
growing Red miitary strength and
American production would thwart
Hitler’s Russian plans. The Ger
man Fuehrer, he said, had counted
on an English desire for peace and
unwillingness of the United states
to become involved in EuroDe tc
aid the blitzkrieg drive.
There was no claim that a Rus
sian general offensive was under
way, but Pravda said Russia’s
aim now was to “convert t he
checking of the German offensive
into defeat of Hitler’s armies.’
"Now the enemy often has to
turn from the offensive to the de
fensive at certain points,” Pravda
said.

HOUSE DEBATES
HUGE TAX BILL
Republicans Attack 'Gag
Rule’ Clause Adopted to
Expedite Passage
WASHINGTON, July 30.—®—
The House began three days of
debate on the $3,529,200,000 tax bill
today and approved a curb on the
number of amendments that may
be offered to the unprecedented
measure.
Republicans denounced the pro
cedure as “gag rule” which they
contended had no place in “the
last bulwark or democracy,” but
it finally was adopted by a roll
call vote announced as 203 to 168.
Before this action was taken,
however, a modification of the
originally-planned procedure was
agreed to by the leadership to
permit a separate vote on a
provision which would require
married couples to file joint in
come tax returns and thus prevent
them from escaping higher sur
taxes by dividing their incomes.
As a result, the House will get
a chance to vote for or against
that provision, designed to fineld
about $323,000,000 but the only
other changes which it will be
possible to consider under the rule
will be those sanctioned by the
Ways and Means committee.
Chairman Doughton (D.-N.C.) of
the comittee and other leaders
told the house that it would be
dangerous to throw the bill wide
open for amendments and some
republicans conceded that such a
course would be unwise.
In opposing the rule. Rep. Fish
R.-N.Y.) said that the new tax
measure “doubles and triples
taxes on persons who make from
$3,000 to $30,000 a year, such per
sons constitute only 5 per cent of
the population but “pay all the
taxes.”
Senate Investigators
Hit T. A. Loving Profit
WASHINGTON, July 30.—(^)—
Chairman Truman (D.-Mo.) of the
Senate Defense Investigating com
mittee contended today that a
•‘tremendous profit’ made by an
army camp contractor through
renting equipment to the govern
ment was not justified because the
contractor received in addition a
fixed fee.
ruman made the assertion after
hearing testimony by C. B. Mc
Nairy, vice-president of T. A. Lov
ing and Company, Goldsboro, N.
C., contractors who built an army
cantonment at Fort Bragg, N. C.
on a cost plus fixed fee basis.
McNairy told the committee that
after receiving the contract, offi
cers of the Loving company
formed an equipment company to
rent equipment for the project.
He said that he did not have
exact figures on profits of the
equipment company, but he ex
pressed a willingness to accept an
estimate by Hugh A. Fulton, com
mittee counsel, that the company
had assets of more than $500,00
,in excess of liabilities.
McNairy, who said part of the
equipment company’s profit re
sulted from renting equipment on
other jobs, agreed to supply exact
figures later.
“Appreciable” Profits
He acknowledged that the com
pany had realized “appreciable'
profits on the equipment rentals,
but contended they were justified
because of the investment risk en
tailed.
He said the rental rates were
fixed on an estimate of 3 months
use, but that when the project ran
longer, the government exercised
its option to purchase the equip
ment at retail list prices, whiiMi
he conceded were higher than
those the company had paid.
The company’s profits, he said,
resulted chiefly because of the re
capture—that is, the1 government
buying the equipment - at highe
prices.

TO PRESS POLICIES
Execution of ‘Fateful Pro

By the Associated Press
TOKYO, July 30. — Premier
Prince Fumimaro Konoye declared
Japan’s resolve today “to proceed
on a historic renovation of its pol
icies from an entirely new stand
point,” and said the execution of
this fateful program must be swift
and determined.
These policies — of which he
spoke while Japanese convoys con
tinued to land troops for occupa
tion of bases in southern French
Indo-China — were not described,
but he connected them with a
warning that Japan “must always
be prepared to meet the worst.”
He said too, again without elabo
ration, thaj the German-Russian
war “is bringing serious effects
on Japan.” . .
(This reference to the Nazi in
vasion was heard with the great
est interest in view of the ex
pressed conviction of informed Chi
nese quarters in Peiping that Ja
pan is making ready for an as

the Red armies of the west are

The premier spoke before the
general mobilization inquiry com
mission.
Denounce United States
The Japanese press went on de
nouncing the United States and
Britain, calling them the masters
of the Dutch East Indies and blam
ing what they called American
meddling for the suspension by the
islands of the oil shipment agree
ment with Japan.
As to the possibility of a full oil
embargo by the United States,
which already has frozen Japa
nese assets in that country, news
paper discussion was to the effect
that Japan had in reserve enough
oil for several years. .

CONGRESS TERMED FA VORABLE
TO PRICE CONTROL PROPOSAL;
U. S. BOAT BOMBING PROTESTED
GUNBOAT DAMAGED '
President and Welles Act
Swiftly After Navy Vessel
Damaged on Yangtse
\
WASHINGTON, July 30.—Iff)—
Acting swiftly and in a manner
to show that its patience was sore
ly tried, the United States called
Japan to account today for a new
attack on an American gunboat in
China and indicated the incident
would not pass with a perfunctory
diplomatic exchange. ,
The 370-ton gunboat Tutiola of
the Yangtse river patrol was dam
aged by bombs which narrowly
missed the United States embassy
during a Japanese raid on the
Chinese capital of Chungking. No
casualties resulted, but the Navy
said the stem superstructure of
the small craft was damaged
slightly.
Soon after the news reached
Washington, President Roosevelt
discussed the bombing with Sum
ner Welles, acting secretary of
State. Apparently in answer to a
summons from Welles, the Japa
nese ambassador, Admiral Kichi
saburo Nomura, called at the State
department.
Representations Made
Emerging from his brief confer
ence with the ambassador, Welles
announced at his press conference
that representations had been
made to the Japanese government.
He declined to say whether he
had administered personally a se
vere rebuke to the ambassador,
as he did last week in denouncing
Japan’s move to take over mili
ary and naval bases in French
Jndo-China.
With tension in the Pacific al
ready high as a result of the Indo
China move and retaliatory eco
nomic measures against Japan by
the United States, the British em
pire and the Netherlands, a stern
attitude was indicated here in con
nection with the Tutuila incident.
Welles refused to say whether
any indemnification was demand
ed as in the case of the sinking
of the United States gunboat Pa
nay in China on December 12,
1937 with a loss of two lives.
For that loss, the United States
demanded and received $2,214,
007.36 for property damage and
personal casualties, together with
a profuse Japanese apology.
Welles indicated the United
States would reject any Japanese
claim that the Tutuila bombing
was a mistake.
The gunboat and the American
embassy, he pointed out, were on
the opposite side of the Yangtze
river from Chungking proper. They
were in a so-called “safety zone”.
He said a flight of 26 bombers
raided the Chinese capital, drop
ping bombs near the Tutuila and
American property—the embassy.
Shanghai reports said the official
residence of the embassy also suf
fered damage and that the damage
to the Tutuila resulted from a mis
sile which struck ten feet away.
The Tutuila, which narrowly es
caped bombs during a raid on
June 15 which led to a strong
American protest to Japan, is un
der command of Lieut. Command
er William Alger Bowers, 39, a
native of Sevierville, Tenn. It car

Council, Commission Divide
On Share Of Charity Finances
City councilman and county com
missioners debated long yesterday
over a $15,000 appropriation for
the Associated Chari tie-; at a joint
budgetary meeting with the mailer
finally being settled with a motion
that the governmental bodies pay
proportions based on 1940 tax as
sessment valuations.
J. R. Benson, city clerk, and
Thomas W. Woody, clerk to the
county board of commissioners,
were instructed to confer with J, A.
Orrell, county auditor, and fix the
proportional percentages.
Debate was on whether the pro
portion should be 35 per cent and
65 per cent, or 40 and 60 per cent
—the smaller for the city and the
larger for the county.
Last year Associated Charities
received $15,000 with the city pay
ing $6,000 and the county $9,000.
The joint bodies approved a mo
tion that the governments would
equally divide an appropriation of
$12,000 for the ceding year for the
Community hpspital, plus $3,000,
the latter to be earmarked specifi
cally for the construction of a
laundry.

Predict Early Passage
Of Retention Measure
WASHINGTON, July 30.—UB
Army intelligence reports that Ger
many has expanded her army from
810,000 to nearly 4,000,000 men
since the start of the war were
cited by zSen. Thomas today to
emphasize the need of retaining
selectees, guardsmen and reserv
ists in service beyond the present
one-year limit.
Opponents of the service exten
sion, led by Senator Taft (R.-Ohio),
asserted that the general staff
sought to abandon its original con
cept of training a large reserve
of men in favor of perfecting a
compact fighting force in which a
selectee might find himself serv
ing for the duration of the emer
gancy.
The khaki of a dozen soldiers
dotted the crowded galleries as
the Senate opened debate on the
controversial legislation. Mean
while the House Military commit
tee, by a 15-7 vote, approved a
similar bill and leaders made plans
to press it in that chamber next
week.
Thomas referred to the army
intelligence data when Senator
Tobey (R.-N.H..) demanded to
know what the “brass tack facts
were” that President Roosevelt
and General George C. Marshall
presented to the military commit
tee in urging the extension.
Thomas said that Germany had
expanded its armed forces from
54 divisions in September, 1939, to
260 as of last July 16, a German
division numbering about 15,000
men. The Italian army, he added,

OBJECTIVE APPROVED
Debate Seen on Method of
Application; Wheeler In
dicates Support of Bill
By RICHARD L. TURNER
WASHINGTON. July 30.——
President Roosevelt asked Con
gress today for power to regulate
prices in order to cncck inflation,
and many members of the national
legislature immediately expressed
approval of the general objective
he outlined.
Their comments indicated that
debate would center about meth
ods, rather than the goal.
Price legislation, Mr. Roosevelt
said in a special message, was
necessary to protect the nation
against "the evil consequences of
a chaotic struggle for gains which
must prove either illusory or un
just and which must lead to the
disaster of unchecked inflation."
It developed, meanwhile, that
Chairman Steagall D. Ala.) had
been at work since Friday on spe
cific legislation—a bill authorizing
Mr. Roosevelt to prescribe maxi
mum prices and rental charges,
to deal with excesses in install
ment credit, and to make pur
chases or sales of commodities
with a view to stabilizing the price.
Where1 farm commodities were
concerned, it was understood that
the new checks would become op
erative only when the * rices of
these go above parity—that is
abov,e a level where farm products
have the same purchasing power,
in terms of industrial goods, that
they had in 1909-1914.
Broad Powers
The bill, it was said, would em
power the ^President to act thrnimh
any agency he might designate.
It was on this point that the prin
cipal controversy seemed likelv to
develop. Some members of Con
gress were of the opinion that
power so broad should be granted
only to a specially created con
gressional agency, and not to the
executive department. Neverthe
less, nearly all seemed agreed that
some action should be taken to
keep prices within moderate lim
its.
Senator Wheeler, bitter critic of
the administration in the field of
Foreign affairs, announced imme
diately that he was “entirely in
accord with the view that action
was necessary.
“I thoroughly agree,” he said
on the floor of the Senate, “that
something has got to be done about
prices.”
Rep. Wolcott R.-Mich.) the
ranking Republican member of the
House Banking committee, made
known his agreement with the gen
eral objective and suggested that
Congress should also give study to
controlling “one of the most direct

RUSSIANS SCRAP
ANTI-POLE TREATY
New Agreement With Ex
iled Government Provides
Polish-Russian Alliance
LONDON, July 30,— (7P> —The
Soviet government today scrapped
the Russian-German treaties of 1333
partitioning Roland and signed with
the Polish government in exile a
new agreement freeing approximate
ly 300,000 Polish prisoners in Russia
and pledging mutual Russian-Polish
“aid and support of all kinds in the
present war against Hitlerite Ger
many.”
Thus Russia, whose armies march
ed into eastern Poland after Ger
many had invaded the- western part
of the country two years ago, now
accepts the Poles as allies in a com
mon fight against Hitler. Germany,
meanwhile, has occupied all of the
former Polish territory which Rus
sia took over and r.ow has re
nounced.
Today’s agreement provides for
formation in Russia of a Polish
aYrtiy* tinder a Polish commander to
be “subordinated in an operational
sense” to the Soviet command, upon
which the Polish army is to be rep
resented.
Polish Foreign Minister August
Zaleski resigned a« a result of the
agreement, and it was learned that
some other ministers were expected
to do likewise.
Zaleski and others were known to
have opposed persistently any steps
for bringing Russia and Poland Into
agreement, ar.d a London source
said Zaleski’s views in receht con
ferences had been so outspoken as
to be unacceptable to the both the
Polish and British governments.
The-Polish army will be formed
from among the war prisoners fi
under the agreement.
