BRITISH-AMERICAN PARLEY PROPOSED Proposals Advanced To In clude Others In Conference Of Legislators WASHINGTON, May 23 —W— Proposals were advanced today to include representatives of all the United Nations -in a projected conference of American and Brit ish legislators on war and peace aims. At the same time some opposition developed to the gen eral proposition of such a meeting at this stage of the war. Senator Austin of Vermont, the assistant republican leader, said he wholly endorsed the idea of British-American conferences on war and peace problems, but be lieved that spokesmen for other nations ought to be invited to sit in. But Republican Leader McNary of Oregon was not persuaded that any good could be accomplished by such a visit as was suggested tentatively to congressional chief tains yesterday by an unnamed member of the British parlia menu As outlined then, the plan wa: to have a bi-partisan group of 1C senators and representatives visii London to discuss with parliament leaders the problems of the war and the subsequent peace. ‘‘I fear that the accomplishments would not be commensurate with the cost of such a project.” Me Nary told reporters. “If a journey of this character is in the inter ests of internal unity and success of the war effort, it should be undertaken by those technicians schooled in the arts of war on land, air and sea.” Chairman George (D-Gal of the Senate Finance committee said he thought it was a little toe early to talk about peace aims, a sentiment that was echoed by Senator Tunnel! (D-Delh ‘TTe haven’t won the war yet ar.d we must come near the end of the conflict befoTe we can in telligently discuss any peace plans.” George said. The Georgian said he thought that if only American and British leaders met. representatives of other of the Allied nations might fee! that they were being excluded from peace plans. He said Kussia. China, Australia and all of the other countries must be drawn into any conversations of this char acter. CONGRESSMEN MAY RETAIN PRESENT TAX EXEMPTIONS (Continued from Page One) for people in the extremely low income brackets. In view of the fact that the com mittee, on tentative actions thus far taken, is more than 81,500,000. 000 shy of the revised treasury tax goal of 88.900,000,000. there re mained a strong possibility that a sales tax would be given serious consideration. 4 -V A man’s tooth, put in a dry cave or a gravel bank, would remain intact for a million years.

A German announcement, made public at Vichy, said that 10 host ages had been executed in reprisal for a young man's attack on a member of the German army at Paris on May 19 and that 10 more would be shot if the “authors” of ! the attack were not found within j eight days of issuance of the no tice. “In addition,” the notice said, “a number of persons closely asso ciated with the criminal circle will be transferred to a labor camp.' The 10 persons executed were iden tified as “Communists and Jews and persons closely linked with criminal circles.” CBS recorded a British broad cast which told of the arrest of ‘200 personalities of Norwegian busir.'- life in Oslo and Environs.” T1 i• itish radio said also that “in ( ce 10 hostages were exe cuted after the shooting of three German guards, and a bombing at tempt against the German post of fice in Athens.’ -V Each letter in skywriting may be more than a half-mile high and a quarter-mile in width.

On that same basis, the cost of the pay boost was estimated at $285,000,000 annually. However, Johnson said this estimate prob ably was considerably short of the actual figure since there had been huge increases in the armed serv ices since Jan. 1. As approved by the senate-house committee, the legislation would increase rental allowances for sec ond lieutenants and officers of cor responding rank from $40 with or without dependents to $60 with de pendents and $45 without. Similar increases were made in rental al lowances for higher grades. The subsistence allowance of $18 monthly to lowest ranking com missioned officers with or without dependents were increased to $42 with dependents and $21 without.
