100000 Thompson Guns
Are Delivered 10 Army

The Army received today the
quarter million Thompson subma-
chine guns turned out in the last
18 months by the Auto Ordnance
Co. of Bridgeport, Conn, and at the
same time was given a preview of
a new. lighter weight model hav-
ing greater firing speed and power.
During the next five months the
company expects to produce an
other 250,000 Of the automatic weap-
ons for the Army and for Britain,
Russia and other anti-Axis coun-
tries.
The new experimental model sub
machine gun, shown publicly for the
| first time today, weighs 2l4 pounds
less than the present model and has
a firing rate of 800 rounds minute
as compared with a 600-round rate
for the current model.
The first 155-millimeter guns to
be manufactured outside a Govern
ment arsenal have just been de-
livered to the Army by the Mesta
Machine Co. of Pittsburgh, the War
Department announced today.
The l55-millimeter gun is designed
for long-range fire. 1t hurls a 95-
pound shell approximately IS miles.

Investor Sues Prudential
For u. 5. Tax Adjustment
By the Associated Press


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ga pol
icyholder filed suit in Federal Court
today against the Prudential Life
Insurance Co., contending it is over
paying the Federal Government
100000 year in unemployment
and similar taxes because of an in
correct system of computing net
wages of its 10000 agents.
In addition, James Gallagher, jr.,
of Philadelphia. said, the agents
themselves are being overcharged at
least 100000 in Federal taxes an
nually plus several thousand dollars
on Philadelphias IL per cent tax
on wages.
Mr. Gallagher asked that the
company. whose home Office is at
Newark, N. j., be directed to revise
its pay roll system and institute
suit against the Government for
recovery of the overpayments he
contends have been made for sew
eral years.
Mr.. Gallagher argued that the
company in computing its taxes
does not deduct expenses of $40 to
SIS a week incurred by the agents.
The result is, he said, that both the
company and agents pay taxes on
this expenditure as though 1t were
income.

such merchant ships would be gun
crews from the United States Navy,

shoot on sight.
This is war. Whether honestly

Let the proponents of shooting on
sight and of arming ships to do it
be honest with us and tell us that

Senator La Toilette said evasion
of the act consisted of transferring

At one point Senator Lucas.

lican, of Ohio. asked him to inter-
pref President Roosevelt's statement
that shooting had started in the At
lantic while keeping in mind an
earlier presidential declaration that
shooting means war.
Argument Over First Shot.
"Well. the shooting has begun"
Senator Lucas responded, 'and who
fired the first shot?"
There was applause from the gall
leries as Senator Connally inter-
jected:
With reference to that question.
we know who shot first at the Robin
Moor. the Lehigh and other of our
ships
Senator Clark, Democrat. of Mis-
souri, remarked that all the shoot
ing that has taken place occurred
! after the President announced to
the world that he had ordered the
Navy to shoot on sight"
Returning to the question of what
nation had fired first in the Allan
| tic. Senator Nye. Republican. OF
North Dakota asked Lucas opinion.
Il am willing to take the word of
the President of the United States
ahead of that of the Senator from
North Dakota" Senator Lucas re-

SACRAMENTO Calf, Oct. %
President Roosevelt telegraphed Gov.
Culbert L. Olson today that the
inhumanity of the present regime in
Germany had been too often re-
peated to single out one particular
occasion.
The Presidents observation was by
way of explaining his rejection OF
a proposal by Gov. Olson that the
American people observe a minute
of silence as a manifestation OF SYM
pathy to the French people over
German execution of civilians.
"As you are aware the President
said, Il am deeply sympathetic with
the plight of these unfortunate peo-
pie and have expressed not only my
own condemnation, but the con-
demnation of the American people
of the brutal and inhuman acts OF
the Nazi aggresSors.
IT do not, however. believe that

For French Sympathy Silence

the suggested manifestation would
be appropriate under existing cir
cumStanceS.
Unfortunately the inhumanity
of the present regime in Germany
has been too often repeated to sim
gle out one particular occasion for
the ceremony of silence which
should be reserved Tor moments of
deep reverence affecting all people
of the country where it is observed,
as will be the case in France on
the day"
Gov Olson had suggested that
the sympathy silence be observed
on Friday at time coinciding with
the start of the flve-minute period
of immobility urged upon the
French by Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
leader of the free French forces,
as an anti-German manifestation.
The Governor said he would issue
proclamation to the people OF
California if similar proclamation
were issued by the President.

Republicans Oppose
Inclusion Of Wages
In PriceC Control Bill
House Committee Group
Also Will Try to Exclude
Farm Products
By the Associated Press.

Republican members of the House
Banking Committee lined up in op-
position today TO inclusion of wages
in the administra tion's price control
bill. it was learned. and indications
were they would also try TO exclude
control of farm prices.
Informed legislators said the atti-
tude of the Republicans probably
would determine the issue as TO both
wages and farm prices as some of
the Democratic members of the
committee also are opposed to their
inclusion.
Compromise Offered.
Informed sources said Chairman
Steagall offered compromise
amendment on the wage question
today to prohibit pay increases
which would result in higher COM
modify prices. The Republicans
opposed the proposal.
Representative Wolcott of Mich
lgan, senior minority committee
member, told newsmen that although
he was not speaking for his COL
leagues. he thought the Republicans
were virtually agreed that there
should be no interference with ex-
listing machinery for the regulation
of labor and farm prices.
"As far as I am concerned" he
said. they can leave both labor and
farm prices out of the bill. If there
is any need for further control of
them. that need can be met simply
bv amendments to existing laws
which are applicable"
"Selective" Plan Favored.
+ Strong committee sentiment also
appeared to be developing in favor
of the administration 'selective"
system of price control as opposed
to the universal plan proposed by
Representative Gore, Democrat, of
| Tennessee.
The latter would freeze all prices,
wages. profits. rents and other fac
tors of cost which are in effect on
the date of enactment and then
permit adjustments as they prove
| necessary.
Representative Wolcott told re-
porters he believed the committee
would vote for a single administra-
tor but would have that Office Gre
ated by Congress rather than dele
gate the price-flxing powers to the
President, as the administration S
bill proposes. Previously Mr.. VOL
colt had been strongly in favor of

On HiIIman' S Blame
Currier Dispute

Official on Charges
Made by Truman
Earlier Story on Page AID


By the Associated Press.
Members of the Senate Defense
Investigating Committee disagreed
today on whether blame should be
attached to Sidney Hillman, asso-
ciate o. P. M. director, for failure
of the Federal Works Agency to
award a contract to the low bidder
on a Wayne County (Mich0 defense
housing project.
Chairman Truman told the Sem
ate that if Mr.. Hillman cant or
won't protect the interests of the
United States, am in favor Of re-
placing him with some one who can
and will but Senator Mead, Demo-
crat, of New York, a member Of the
committee. contended that Mr.. Hill
man had acted in good faith in
the matter.
Feared Labor Trouble.
The dispute developed after Sena-
tor Truman had reviewed the COM
mittee's inquiry into failure of the
F. w. A. to award contract to the
r. y. Sullic LulllDCi w. Va leu Wv
on Mr.. Hillman's recommendation.
Senator Truman related that Mr.,
Hillman testified he feared labor
trouble from irresponsible ele-
ments" of the A. F. L. if the Currier
Co., employing c. I. o. workmen, re-
ceived the contract.
Senator Hatch. Democrat. of New
Mexico. another committee member,
said it was his impression from the
inquiry that if the Currier Co. was
not awarded the contract and IF the
American Federation of Labor pre-
walls in this matter, the United
States Government pays tribute out
of its Treasury"
Reasons Called Logical.
Advocating billions for defense
and not one cent for tribute" Sem
ator Hatch declared there was an
issue as to whether the United
States Government is going to sur
render because somebody threat
ems it."
Senator Mead observed that while
Mr.. Hillman headed a c. I. o. union
his recommendation in the Currier
case favored the A. F.. l.. He as
serted that Mr.. Hillman had very
logical reasons to support and sub
stantiate his attitude"
The Currier Co., Senator Mead
said, had been in the past a no
