Tax Bill Would
Aid Reconversion
WASHINGTON, July 30 —(AV
The house got the corporation tax
revision bill—designed to make
$5,000,000,000 available to business
for reconversion—back from the
senate today shorn of a contro
versial railroad provision.
The senate knocked it out of a
standing vote last night after Sen
ator La Follette (Prog-Wis), said
its principal effect would be to
return $8,500,000 from the treasury
to five reorganized railroads, and
that the Wabash would get $6.
000,000 of that. La Follette namec
no other railroads.
The provision would allow rail
roads which have reorganized to
get tax credits from losses suffer
ed by predecessor corpoationrs.
The legislation boosts the speci
fic exemption from the excess pro
fits tax from $10,000 to $25,000 be
ginning in 1946.

By Armed Bandit
GREENSBORO, July 20. — UP)—
A lone bandit, dressed in an Army i

Liberty of an undetermined amount
of money at 10:30 a.m. today and

according to the statement of Chief
of Police A. A. Coble, of Liberty.
The man "hung around” Liberty
for two hours prior to the robbery,
according to Coble. He entered the
bank, pointed a pistol at Mrs. Phoebe
Beam, only bank employee on duty
at the time, and fled after he scoop
ed up all the money in sight, Mrs.
Beam said.
Chief Coble said that the robbery
required onlg a matter of seconds.
Greensboro police, PBI agents,
state patrolmen and county officers
Joined immediately in the hunt.
About 11 o’clock the car, a 1935

“Let’s not forget that we are
fighting for peace and for the
welfare of mankind,” Mr. Tru
man told the troops lined up
for the ceremony. “We are not
fighting for conquest.
"There is not one piece of
territory or one thing of a mone
tary nature that we want out
of this war. We want peace
and prosperity for the world
as a whole. W’e want to see the
time come when we can do the
things in peace that we have
been able to in war. If we can
put this tremendous machine
of ours which has made this
victory possible, to work for
peace we could look forward to
the greatest age in the history
of mankind.
“That is what we propose to
do.”
Mr. Truman told the soldiers,
picked infantrymen from the sec
ond armored division, that they had
"proved conclusively that a free
people can look after the affairs of

of war Henry L. Stimson, and Gens.
Eisenhower and Patton reviewed
the division.
LAND ARRIVES
The president spoke after Vice
Admiral Emory S. Land, chief of
the U. S. Maritime Commission and
War Shipping Administration, ar
rived with his staff in response to a
special request from President
Truman.
The president spoke extemporan
eously for two minutes.
Gen. Omar Bradley, new veter
ans administrator who also had
been summoned here for a confre
ence, accompanied him to the site
from the "little White House” in
Potsdam. Stimson. Eisenhower. Pat
ton and Maj. Gen. Floyd L. Parks,
American members of the Berlin
kommandatur, were in the presi
dent’s party. Lt. Gen. Lucius D.
I Clay, head fo the U. S. group coun
cil. received Mr. Truman.
IMPORTANT STATEMENT
The president's brief message
was interpreted by some of his
| listeners as meaning the United
; States insisted that the peace
and welfare of the average man
i were more important than ter
ritorial disputes and boundar
ies.
The ceremony took place in the
cobblestoned central court of what
had been the German aircraft com
mand for middle Germany.
Immediately after the flag-rais
ing the president sped back into
Potsdam to resume his delibera
tions with Generalissimo Stalin and
Pjrime Minister Churchill—discus
sions in which poesble Russian aid
in the war against Japan is be
lieved to be playing an important
part.
The president was described
as eager to return to Washing
ton as soon as possible after
the conference here closes. He
has all but abandoned plans
for even a brief visit to London.
He is keeping in close touch with
congressional considerations of the
United Nations charter and Bret
ton Woods proposals, and the “little
white house” map room is receiving
I hourly reports on the Pacific war.
The shipping experts arrived late
I yesterday amid indications that
| post-war world shipping and the
| role of the United States’ greatest
I merchant fleet in history would play
! a large part in the discussions of
the president. Premier Stalin and
Prime Minister Churchill.
Land attended the Roosevelt
Churchill Quebec discussions and
furnished advice at later big three
meetings. Before leaving Washing
ton the president had directed the
top shipping officials to stand by,
ready to Join this conference.
It was disclosed also that Prime
Minister Churchill dined alone
Wednesday night with Premier
Stalin at the little kremlin. The
conference lasted several hours.
Only Stalin’s and Churchill’s in
terpreters were present at the din
ner table during the private meet
ing, where obviously much of world
importance was discussed.

Rebuilding Berlin
A 20-Year Task
BERLIN, July 20. — <P)— The
Berliner Zeitung estimates that
more than half of this city’s 1,500,
000 homes were destroyed during the
war and that 16 years will be re
quired to haul away the rubble if
10 trains of 50 cars each depart
daily.
However, from observation of the
bucket brigades instituted by the
Russians, by means of which Ger
man women and a few old men are
moving the debris, one gains the
impression that it would take 16
years to fill one train.
Among the Zeitung’s other obser
vation were these:
At the pre-war construction rate
it will take 20 years to replace all!
the destroyed homes, and the cost
will be about two billion dollars—
using the pre-war valuation of the
German mark as equal to 40 cents.
(The military government has plac
ed a value of 10 cents on the mark.)

PLOT

dents that could not be foreseen.”
On the morning of July 20, Hitler
arrived on schedule at his head
quarters at Rastenburg, East Prus
sia. Photographs taken of his ar
rival show him surrounded by high
ranking officers and shaking hands
with his doctor.
After the usual pleasantries they
entered buildings and headed for
the war room, where routine brief
ing on the military situation was to
be held. But at the last moment,
for some unexplained reason, the
regular briefing room was aban
doned for a larger one upstairs.
This was the first definite break
against the plotters.
A few minutes later Col. Von
Stauffenberg of the gen-ral staff
came in. He carried a time-bomb
in his briefcase. The fact that he
was permitted to approach Hitler
with briefcase in hand distinguish
ed him as an officer with wide pri
vileges.
Stauffenberg casually placed hi6
briefcase on the floor next to the
desk, spoke a few words to an ac
quaintance and drifted out into the
hall. When briefing began a few
moments later he had not return
ed.
One of those unforseenable little
incidents that sometimes alter his
tory now took place. The briefing
officer mentioned a place name
that was unfamiliar to Hitler, and
Hitler got up and walked across the
room to have a closer look at the
maps. This move, quite by chance,
placed a massive oak desk between
Hitler r.nd von Stauffenberg’s brief
case.
As Hitler stood squinting at the
map a terrific explosion blazed
through the room killing six offi
cers and maiming the others. Hitler
himself was thrown against the wall
and partially stunned ’ ->t the lut.
combination of the heavy oak desk,
his curiosity about place names and
the roomier briefing r'-om saved his
life.
The conspirators, believing they
had won, quickly flasl :d word that
Hitler was dead.
In Paris. Gen. Stuelpnagle struck
swiftly, sifting the ent'-e SS gar
rison and making wholesale arrests
of wehrmacht officers of whose
sympathies he was not sure.
Von Stauffenberg flew to Berlin.
He went directly to his office, sum
moned his secretary and was dic
t-.ting a new list of N'?i officials
to be shot when Himmler’s SS clos
ed in on him ar.d told him the
plot had failed.
‘ They took Stauffenberg to 11-13
Bendlestrasse, right in the heart of
Berlin, court-martialled him with
three other officers, and all four
were sentenced to be shot,” said
T/3 Walter T'asenclever, Andover,
Mass. ‘‘They were executed a few
minutes after midnight by a firing
squad composed of five non-com
missioned officers.
Gen. Von Rundstedt, who knew
of the plot but took no part in it,
telephoned Von Stuelpi agle from
Sedan and bluntly told hi . the . lot
had miscarried. Dazed, Von Stuelp
nagle ordered his prisoners relea
ed, then fired a bullet into his head.
But even the bullet, like the plot,
failed of its mark. It missed his
brain and succeeded only in blind
ing him.
