Vichy persisted in its determine ton to crush opposition and fur ther moves in this connection were expected to come with Petaina speech Sunday. The government al- ready has removed parliamentariana from the pay roll.
 An investigation was launched into the latest railways wreck which oc- cured at Carneville.
 Immediate action against Com munist opposition was being taken by the emergency courts established in Paris.
 Prison Docket Crowded
 The docket was crowded. Score1 of Communists" charged with manifestations against German troops, and railway men blamed for sabotage on the main lines used foJ hauling German troops and theiJ supplies, awaited trials, starting thi1 morning. The courts were being or- ganized in vichy by Minister of Jus. tice Joseph Barthelemy.
 In defiance of the new courts which may sentence prisoners to be executed within g hours without appeal, railroad sabotage continued on all sides of Paris and Commit nistS were flooding the streetts with tons of tracts daily. French and German police patroled the streets day and night in armored cars, as- sisted by German troops in squad cars. It was estimated that 1000 police and 10000 German troops were doing police work in the Paris area.
 In spite of this, it has been re. vealed that in the past few day four cars of a German train were derailed at Van VeS-Malakoc, just outside the Montparnesse station, by the removal of bolts from a double length of rail; switch points at the important Juvisy freight yards just south of Paris were destroyed by the explosion of land mines under the rails, and other sabotage o. cured at Quincy, south of Paris, LG Bourget. to the east, and Poissy. west of Paris.
 Tracts Are Increasing
 The volume of forbidden tracts circulating In Paris was said to be increasing daily despite the deStruc- zfion of several clandeStine print shops and the German threat of severe penalties for persons caught with tracts in their possession. The ante German literature is dumped into mail boxes, slipped into folded newspapers or, sometimes, piled on housetops to be distributed by the wind.

will be in addition to the already Increased levies on individual citi- Hcns. Only $49,000,000 of the $303,- @OO,000 new revenue would come From persons who do not now pay Federal income taxes.
 Only one other change affecting the bills yield was made by the Senate committee during the first days consideration of the $3,236,- 100000 House-approved tax bill. It Instructed the Treasury to draft an amendment designed to eliminate the tax advantage existing in eight community property states Such an amendment would bring into the federal treasury an additional $5l,- 100000 annually.
 These two changes-the lowered personal income tax exemptions and elimination of the community prop erty tax advantage would raise the total of the House tax bill to e3,59O, 100000. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., originally asked for more than 9S,5O0, ,O00. 900 in new revenue.
 The tax base in existing law and under the bill passed by the House reached down to single persons earning more than $500 a year and married couples with an income of over e2.O00.
 The extra burden will fall heavily on married men. For bachelors now paying taxes the reduction means an automatic increase of at least e: for married men at least $50.
 The committee also took action to merge the present 10 per cent de- Rense tax into the permanent rate schedules. Under present law an in- dividual pays a four per cent nor mai tax, and if his taxable income is above $4.0O0, surtaxes beginning at four per cent on the excess; then he adds 10 per cent to the total for defense.
 Where Surfaces Begin
 Under the House bill the surtaxes would begin at five per cent on the 1irSt dollar of taxable income. To absorb the defense tax, the Senate committee voted to retain the nor- mal tax at four per cent, but in- crease the surtax to six per cent on the first dollar of taxable income to compensate for the elimination of the final 10 per cent.
 The committee also decided to help alimony-payers by permitting them to deduct alimony payments from their incomes. The wife re- ceiving the alimony would have to pay tax on it This change, however, which was adopted to clear up con- fusion resulting from variety of state laws, will not take effect until 1922, whereas the rest of the bill will affect incomes earned since Jan I last.
 In addition to these changes the Senate committee:
 Ruled out consideration in the pending bill of proposals for a manufacturers excise or sales tax, . withholding or payroll tax, and any requirement for mandatory joint returns.
 Voted to retain the House tax rate on corporations at 24 per cent, which is the same as existing law, and the House rates and exemptions on estates and gifts.

 Timekeepers expected to have a report on the number of men at work and available for work by 10 a. m., Bowen planned to reveal then whether it was necessary to look elsewhere for more men.
 The shipyard had several private contracts, chiefly with Standard Oil company of New Jersey for tank CTS, in addition to its $493 ,0O0, GOO in navy and Maritime commission contracts, and that the navy was taking responsibility for fulfilling the private contracts.
 Korndorff, in his letter to Knox, reiterated earlier promises to CO., operate with the government, but said:
 "The company can assume no authority or responsibility for the further management and operation of the yard or for any of the re- suits or consequences thereof. The company will make formal convey ance, assignment and transfer of the assets, including its unper- formed contracts, to the Navy de- partment or to such agency of the government as may be designated by you, or to simplify matters. the company will, if you prefer, cause its capital stock to be trans ferred to the Navy department or some other agency of the govern-> ment with the understanding that compensation to the company will be determined later"
 George Rice, financial secretary of the union, said: We are stand ing by the telegram we sent the President promising our full CO., operation"
 Bowen said his instructions were Ito take possession of the plant and operate it under the schedule of hours and wages which were in effect before the strike" He said there were other questions whiSa would require some study" but he refused to comment on the pos- sibility of the navy granting the maintenance of member sh ID" clause.

a postwar world, Mrs Laura Puffer
Morgan, member of the Govern

World Organization at American
University that failure" in past
efforts toward disarmament was
due to attempts to isolate the prob

and to treat it technically
"All the popular explanations
of failure, like the influence of
the munitions interests" she de-
clared, "are entirely superficial.
There we're undoubtedly contribut-
ing causes, but they were second
ary. The real cause of failure was
political"
Factors seen by the speaker as
necessary in possible approach to
the next effort towards disarma-
ment, included "a system of super
