Only witness before the commit

ating on the comment Of Chairman

that through the Communist party,

belief they did not dominate the

Names 10 C. I. o. Unions.
Mr.. Zack named 10 c. I. o. or

clear. however, the C. I. o. is not
controlled BY the Communist Party,
despite the fact some of its members
hold pivotal positions in affiliated
unions.
Although uncertain as to the for
NAL titles of the c. I. O. organiza-

held sufficient key" positions to
control policies in these particular

Peace Developments

Topics With Hitler

ROME, Sept. 30.-Foreign Minis
ter Count Galeazzo Ciano left sud-
denly for Berlin tonight at Adolf
Hitlers invitation and foreign circles
predicted early developments in the
Russian peace gestures to-
ward Britain and France.
These circles saw Count Ciano's
journey as evidence of an effort to
enlist Italian cooperation In the
drive for peace on the basis of Po-
lands partition, launched by the
German Russia accord Of Moscow.
Since Hitler was assumed to oe
aware that this drive might fail,
in view of the hostile reaction in
london and Paris to the Moscow
declaration, many observers believed
Hitler also would discuss with Count
Ciano the chances Of italy enter
ing the war on the German side.
Duce Discussed as Mediator.
The possibility of Premier Musso-
lini's offering his good oflces in
peace moves as he did just before
the outbreak of war was also dis
cussed.
Mussolini has kept himself free
to serve as a mediator by declaring
Italy's refusal to take the initiative
in military operations while advo-
eating British French acceptance of
Poland's partition by Germany and
Russia.
While Italy remains a partner
of Germany through the Rome
Berlin axis agreements, 10 far as
is known in foreign circles there
is nothing to indicate Mussolini in
tends to throw Italy into war on
Germany's side If Britain and
France formally reject any peace
proposals.
In a speech tonight to Genoese
leaders, II Duce ignored the in
ternational situation, confining his
talk to internal duties of the party
He said the Fascist militia remained
the armed guard Of revolution"
New Taxes Imposed.
The government today imposed
two sweeping taxes on property and
business to help pay the cost of
military preparedness and relieve
Italy's unbalanced budget.
A levy of one-half of one per cent
on virtually all private property
excepting bank accounts as we'll as
two per cent business turnover tax
was voted at a cabinet meeting at
which MusSolini presided.
Fascist authorities said the turn
over tax would be a simplification
since it replaces the complicated
system sales and stamp taxes rang
ing from one-half of one per cent
to IL per cent.
The interior ministry has received
5000 900 lire (about $40O. O.OOO with
in the last two weeks for the secret
police as the press took up Mus
solini's admonition to clean our
corners"
The Fascist press daily warns Ital-
ians that II Duce meant what he
said when he told Bologna Fascist
leaders that Italians must work in
silence.
