BERLIN, Sept. lathe prototype
of the long-range guns used to shell
London yesterday is an awkward
looking weapon with an extremely
long, slender barrel, often pictured
in films and magazines here
The barrel is so slim that it must
be supported with cables like a sus-
pension bridge Four such cables
run from the breech to the muzzle
and are braced outward about the
middle of the barrel with center sup
ports.
With these guys and struts. the
gun looks much like one of those
radio towers which Is tapered at
both ends, except that the gun is
not set vertically.
Its caliber is not stated, but from
the various pictures it seems to be
possibly 10 inches. with barrel
length of so caibers-that is, so
times the diameter of the bore. A
10-inch gun thus would have a
barrels of so calibers or less.
Muzzles Wave in Breeze.
This is an extraordinary ratio.
Big United States naval guns with
a range of 80 miles or more and
shooting nearly a ton of shell have
barrels of so calibers or less
When fired, the muzzles of the
long German guns wave in the
breeze, as observers have noted when
motion pictures were shown here.

Austin Opens Fight
On No-Tax Exemption
Rider in Senate
Says Brown Proposal
Is Step Toward
National Socialism

By the Associated Press
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont, opened fire today on
proposal to end all tax exemptions
on Government securities as
revolutionary proposal and definite
step toward national socialism"
AS the Senate resumed debate on
the intricate excess profits tax bill,
Senator Austin. assistant Republi-
can leader, sought to rally piparti-
san opposition to the no-tax eX-
emption rider proposed last week by
Senator Brown, Democrat, of Michi-
gan.
This thing hits at the very fun
damentals of our dual system of
Federal and State governments"
Senator Austin told reporters
When you touch the purse strings
of State and local governments you
have DESTROYED their powers to tax
and to exist
Brown DiSagreeS.
Senator Brown, sponsor of the
lengthy amendment. disagreed that
vital governmental relationships
were involved He said that Con-
greSS already had granted the States
the right to impose income taxes
on salaries of Federal employees and
that it had exercised the same right
in levylng Federal taxes on State
salaries Under the amendment.
State governments could tax Federal
securities and vice versa
The general opinion in the Sem
ate. however. was that even if the
chamber voted to end present tax
exemption provisions. House con-
ferees would block action when the
bill is sent to a joint committee for
adjustment of differences.
The Senate worked under a de-
bate limitation agreement in an eff
fort 70, speed a final vote. on the
excess profits measure. It limited
each Senator to single 30 minute
! speech on amendments and the bill.
Other Controversial Issues.
Two other controversial amend
ments also waited action. One by
Senator ,Connally, Democrat, of
Texas would SET up a STIFF schedule
of wartime" income taxes to be
effective when Congress declared
war The second by Senator Lee.
Democrat, of Oklahoma. proposed a
broad system of drafting wealth
in case of war.
The House, in its third day of
! recess out of respect to the late
Speaker william Bankhead was
scheduled to resume sessions to-
morrow.
Senator Austin said he regarded
the tax bill rider as the biggest
issue of the session because it was a
move toward totalitarianiSm.
This is getting us into the heart
of the world revolution" he said
We're all that's left to keep the
bulwarks Of the republican form of

VICHY, France, Sept. 18.-The
,Petain government has rejected a
demand by the government of Thai
land (Siam) for territorial conces-
sions in French Indo-China.
The Foreign Office, in reply to the
ttThailand demand, declared that
France was resolved to defend the

in all circumstances and against all
foreign enterprises
, Thailand presented her demand at
,Vichy at time when negotiations
for defining the frontier between

negotiations appeared to be going
along satisfactorily, therefore France
was taken by surprise" by the move.
The disputed area is along the Me-

The French did not disclose the
territorial requests made on Indo-
China, which already is in serious
situation over japanese demands
to use it as base for military oper-
atoms against China.
