NEW YORK. May 2O.-The hank CTS war on high prices, declared at the behest of the federal reserve board today brought another wave or liquidation in the securities mar ket.
 Primarily induced by the country wide stringent credit conditions, this wave caused many stocks and bonds to fall to still lower quotations for the current movement.
 Support of substantial character was forthcoming. however. and bar gain hunters also were active in the more popular issues. As a result, prices rallied vigorously before the close, Liberty bonds and Victory notes sharing largely in the recovery.
 From every responsible authority came assurances that basic financial conditions all over the country offer na occasion for apprehension. In the words of a leading financier, the pres ent movement i, largely in the nature of necessary readjustment of val ues. including commercial and indus trial inventories

WASHINGTON, May 2O-Efforts to work out an agreement on the army reorganization bill which the the house has refused to accept be cause of it's national guard provisions, will be resumed tomorrow by house and senate conferees. The conference was called after the senate had re- fused today to recede from it's amend mentS.
 Prospects of an agreement were further complicated by protest by President Gompcrs of the American Federation Of Labor to Chairman WadswOrth of the senate military committee, against provisions which the labor leader said would bring about the conscription of industrial workers in case of any national emergency
 In the discussion which preceded the senate's refusal to yield on it's amendments Senators Thomas, demo- crat of Colorado, and Wadsworth at tackled state adjutant genearls be- cause of their opposition to the pro- vision of the senate bill permitting in dividual states to decide whether their guard should be federalized.

BRING PRESSURE FOR RELEASE IF. AMERICANS HELD
 BY BOLSHEV|
State Department. Requests Austria to Retain Men
 Wanted by Soviets
U. s. CITIZEN IS
 STARVED TO DEATH
Reds Fear Outside World May Get Facts as to State
 of Russian Affairs

WASHINGTON, May O. Aroused by reports of the imprisonment and detention in soviet Russia of various American citizens. the state depart ment today took steps to bring to bear indirect pressure on the Bol- shevik authorities to obtain their re- leese.
 A request has been addressed to the Austrian government through the American commissioner in Vienna asking that Hungarian communists, detained since their escape 10 Vienna from Budapest last year, and whose release has been made the subject Of oVertures by tEe oBlshevili, shall be refused release pending the free ing of American citizens detained in Russia Action by this government was taken, it was said, as a result of the suggestion of another govern ment and was in accor2 with the views of other countries.
 One of the Americans known to be imprisoned in Russia by the Rol- sheviki. Xenophon ]. Kalamatiano, has been made the subject of inef- fec;ual representations for more than a year. According to latest reports received by the department, Kalama- tiano, is in close confinement and is being starved to death.
 No complete list of Americans held by the Bolsheviki is available, but enough is known of conditions in Rus sia. to make the state department cog nizant of rigorous system of surveil- lance on the part of the soviet au- thorities toward Americans. Pre- sumably it is said, this policy is based on a fear that individuals who have observed the soviet regime at close range may return to report actual conditions prevailing in Russia.

DEMAND PAYMENT OF MEXICAN OIL TAXES
 WITHIN FIVE DAYS
Chihuahua Bandit Says He Will Devote Millions Now In His Possession to Civil War If Carranza Politicians Are Not Eliminated from New Government
 Carranza In Mountains of Puebla

WASHINGTON. May 20. - An i'm. piled threat ny the de facto govern ment of Mexico to force oil producers to make prompt payment of export taxes was revealed today in a belated message from the American embassy at Mexico City to the state depart ment.
 The department of finance was
 quoted as ruling that the taxes
 for March and April must be paid
 within five days after May 13 and
 that no extension would be grant
 ed. The department added. how
 ever, that the companies would
 not be expected to comply with a
 recent decree of the Carranza gov
 ernment almost doubling the
 amount, but might pay the March
 April assessment in accordance
 with the tariff fixed for January
 and February.
 The largest oil companies have not paid the taxes but neither their rep nor the state department received notification Of any punitive action taken by the Mexican author ities. The companies explained that they hesitated in making payment only because of their inability to de termine to whom the money should be paid The state department has ruled that any company may regard it's conduct correct if taxes are paid to those actually in authority.
 Since the United States has not recognized the new government In Mexico, it is obviously impossible. it was explained for the state depart mCnt 10 go further in the definition of the existing regime in Mexico.
 Press reports today indicated Car ranZa had reached Zacatlan in the of Puebla, near TuXpam. Governor Cabrera, brother Of Luis Cabrera, chief of Carranza's cabinet, has established the state government at Zacatlan and the indications were that Carranza might make the little state his headquarters un- til driven out.
