RISING SENTENCED ON TWO CHARGES Youth Tells Judge He Was Not Asking Him For Leniency Before being sentenced on two charges in superior court Thurs day afternoon, Robert Rising, standing before Judge Henry L.

Roy Hendricks and Robert Rising were given a sentence of seven to 10 years in State prison. Rich ard Croaker and Bill Rising were leleased on charges. connecting them with the robbery. Earlier in the trial, Richard Croaker took the stand and testi fied that Robert Rising had stat-j ed ,u him that he (Robert) had i nothing left to live for since his wife had left him. He said that if he could secure bullets for 'his re volver, he would shoot it out with the police. If they came for him. Croaker was prompted for thes° answers as he was questioned by Robert Rising. It was evident that Croaker, who admitted giving aid to police was hesitant in answer ing the questions of Rising in re lation to the drug store robbery. Aaron Goldburg, counsel for Bill Rising, said that even if the rec ord of the prisoner (Richard Croaker) was as black as the "hinges of Hades," he didn't think fhal evidence against Bill Rising "as Purely circumstantial.

Even as recently even 6 years a§° nobody, not ' 1 lle boldest economic thinker had any conception of what the productive capacity of the country really was. And somehow it has come to be understood that the capacity to produce is the real wealth of a nation, and that its national debt is not a measure of the nation’s, or even of its gov ernment’s, economic position. It follows that the real economic consequences of war depend on how soon and how completely the productive capacity of the nation can be restored to civilian use, and then maintained. In a coup try which has not been devastated or dismembered or placed in sub jugation, the only important eco nomic consequence of war is the dislocation of its economy. It was not the wealth shot away in battles or the economic wastage of main taining the great armies which im poverished the world after the last war; it was the failure of the post (Continued on Page Three; Col. Z) New Proposals Written Into Pending Tax Bill — ■ — - I WASHINGTON, Jan. 20—(/P)—The Senate Finance |! Committee today abandoned several proposals to ease the war contracts renegotiation law and unanimously agreedj to a compromise slated for consideration in the Senate tomorrow. The action was an obvious victory for Senators | *» uioii vwmaaa.;, uuiidiij Vi-* Tex.), LaFollette (Prog-Wis.) and Lucas (D-Ill.), committee mem bers who issued a minority report sharply critical of five of the amendments approved by a ma jority of the 21-member group. All five of the criticized amendments either were thrown out or ma terially modified. The revisions were written into the pending $2,275,600,000 tax in crease bill, all other features of which have been approved by the senate. The committee gave up its plan for mandatory exemption from re negotiation of contracts for stand ard commercial articles, such as bolts and truck axles and electric1 motors. As in the House bill, ex-j emption of such contracts would be discretionary with the war price adjustment board. Also knocked out was a provi-' sion which would have retroactive ly exempted the profits on articles which are not physically incorpor ated in the finished contract article —such as a welding machine at a shipyard. (The minority report charged the provision would have “compelled” war profiteering.) Walsh declared the final Senate version of the renegotiation amendments was “much better” than the revisions which had been voted by the House. Senator Mc Kellar (D.-Tenn.), author" of the original renegotiation law under which billions of dollars worth of war contracts have been examined for excessive profits, said the com promise plan appeared “reason ably satisfactory” although he had not had a chance to check it in detail. An exception was made, in ef fect exempting the machine tool industry. Walsh said so many ma chine tools had been built to meet war needs that there would be a market for few in the first 10 or 15 years of peace. The majority also dropped its insistence on an amendment, which would have exempted agree ments for articles furnished in obedience to a War Production j Board directive, at or below OPA ceiling prices.

Edgar Hoover fended off a two hour question barrage about his FBI’s relations with the Federal Communications Commission to day. telling a House committee that a Presidential order prevents him from discussing matters af fecting national security. But that did not keep Eugene L. Garey, counsel for the Lea Commitee investigating the FCC, from reading a series of letters between Chairman James L.

Gen. K. A. Meretskov’s armies of the Volkhov front captured Nov gorod, 100 miles southeast of Len ingrad on the road to southern Estonia, by an action officially de scribed as a “skillful outflanking maneuver.” Premier Marshal Sta lin saluted the important victory with an order of the day last night. On the Leningrad frpnt other ar mies under Gen. Leonid A. Govo rov, attacking southwest of Lenin-! grad and southeast of Oranien- : baum on the Gulf of Finland, were declared to have joined forces to seal off for annihilation the Ger-' mans caught in the 50-square mile I Strelna corridor, which ran north! from the Krasnoye Selo sector to; the Gulf of Finland. The two Red armies together were shaping a massive trap for 250.000 other Germans fighting in a salient southeast of Leningrad. The latest Soviet communique disclosed that the Russians under Govorov were only nine miles from Krasnogvardeisk. a rail junction through which most of the threat ened enemy troops must withdraw toward Estonia if they are to es cape the Soviet steam-roller. Striking southwest of newly cap tured Krasnoye Selo, 15 miles southwest of Leningrad,- the Rus sians during the day moved on to take Nizhnaya, four miles below Krasnoye Selo and only nine miles from Krasnogvardeisk. Mikhailov-1 ka. three miles southwest of Kras-! noye Selo, also was taken in a fan-] wise movement which resulted in the union of two big bodies of Soviet troops. The junction of the Soviet forces at a point about 20 miles southwest of Leningrad trapped the Germans in the Strelna area. Strelna itself, five miles south east of Peterhof which was taken Wednesday, and 10 miles westward across the bay from Leningrad.

S. spend ing in Latin America was laid be fore the Senate today by Senator Butler (R.-Neb.) with the declara tion that his original charge of wasteful outlay of more than $6, 000.000,000 in three years had turned out to be “95.5 per cent right.” , Butler and Senator Makellar (D.-Tenn.) immediately squared off in disagreement as they did last November when the Nebras kan first charged the administr-| tion with “boondoggling” in South : America and with trying to spread ; the new deal hemisphere-wide with cash. McKellar said Butler’s fresh; blast, “in the kindest way I can | express it.” tended to damage the ■ good neighbor policy especially in wartime. Butler shot back that he thought he was “making a genu ine contribution to the good neigh bor policy.” Butler offered figures compiled by a personally-engaged account ing firm to show that U. S. ex penditures. commitments and ex tensions of credit to South Ameri can republics amounted to $5,733, 953,543 in 1942, 1943 and 1944. An (Continued on Page Two; Col. 5) Gov.

War Secretary Reports Japs May Be Collapsing On New Guinea WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.— I® — Secretary of War Stimson, in a summary of the war on many fronts, reported today that the fighting is going well for the Allies. He rolled off in rapid-fire order at a press conference reports that Japanese resistance may be col lapsing in northern New Guinea, that the great Russian offensive seems to include a serious effort to lift the long siege of Leningrad, and that substantial progress is being made against Cassino at the head of a valley route to Rome. The secretary stopped short of any discussion of what may be the greatest battlefront of all, not ing merely that he. President Roosevelt and other officials had talked with General Dwight D. Ei senhower here shortly before the general showed up in the United kingdom to lead the Allied inva sion of Europe from «ije west. He said: Pacific—Allied forces are mak ing steady progress throughout the Southwest Pacific. In northern! New Guinea, Australian veterans J have captured Sio and are "stead ily rolling up Japanese troops be tween themselves and the Ameri- j can forces at Saidor, and have captured large amounts of stores and equipment.” As proof of evidence that some Japanese are trying to escape by barge at night.

Of ‘Boondoggling’ SEARCY, Ark., Jan. 20—</P)—Miss Vivien Kellems, Westport, Conn, industrialist who announced in Kansas City she did not pay her December 15 income tax because she needed the money to set aside postwar reserves, is sued a statement tonight defending her action and; aefSiii-iricf fho cnvti-rnrrrpnf nr snnsmJit-—--*-■-- —vi dering billions on “boondoggling.” The statement was in answer to Secretary Morgenthau who said in Washington yesterday that “to ad vise citizens to refuse to pay tax es—particularly in time of war— smacks of disloyalty.” She said in the statements he did not have money to pay her tax. that when she got enough money she planned to put it in the bank as a postwar reserve and if Secretary Morgenthau re garded that as treason he would have to “make the most of it.” “I agree with the secretary that millions of patriotic American cit izens. of which I am one, Mr. Morgenthau's insulting slur to the contrary, are not only proud but eager to pay taxes to win the war,” said Miss Kellems, who was here to deliver a lecture at Hard ing college. “But those same millions, of which I am still one, are not wall ing to pay taxes so that billions of dollars maj be squandered on plain and fancy boondoggling not remotely connected with the war. I can be very specific indeed, as I have first hand knowledge of some of those projects and if ‘im secretary and Congress wish, I shall be most happy to testify be fore the proper eongressional com mittee.” Stating that business men were “deluging” her with telegrams, telephone calls and letters of ap proval. she asserted: “To pay this tax will bankrupt me. I still think it a patriotic act for business to set aside a post war reserve, in other words to put money in the bank so that it may continue to have jobs for its em ployes when this war is over. When I get enough money that is what I propose to do, Mr. Mor genthau and if that be treason, make the most of it.” _ _ DAVIS IS VISITED BY GEN.

Describing the blow as a “ter ror raid,” the German broadcast declared, ‘in view of the weather, derm an authorities had expected major bomber formations would make an attack and as a result the ack-ack defenses were effec tive to the fullest extent from the start.” Broadcasting its claims early, the German radio said 10 four engined bombers were shot down in the ‘first nine minutes of the raid over two districts of Berlin * alone.” The German long wave trans mitter and the Luxembourg radio , station shut down for the second time last night before midnight.

A successful drive eastward from Kyankchaw across the upper Chindwin River valley would sever the enemy’s main communications between his central and northern forces.
