kazi Officer Shot
In Paris as New
Sabotage Appears
Railroad Service
Delayed 30 Hours by
Wrecked Turntable

VICHY, Sept. 4. (UP)-
Reports from Paris said to-
day that a German non-com-
missioned officer had been
shot there and that German
police had taken the case out of
the hands of French authorities.
The German officer was shot from
behind while walking with his
fiancee on Wednesday night, &C
cording to information received in
V.chy. He was wounded in the
shoulder but not seriously. Previous
l., in the same Paris section a Ger
man naval ensign had been stabbed
to death in subway. The German
authorities at that time said that
in the future French oppositioniSt
prisoners would be shot in ratio
to the seriousness of criminal acts
against the occupying forces.
Shooting of the officer was re-
ported here after disclosure of the
first act of sabotage against French
railroads since German authorities

mittee.
1t rejected an attempt by Sen.
Robert M. La Toilette, Prog, Wis,
to retain present exemptions. The
committee amendment provided
that the present $500 exemption
for single persons be lowered to
$3.50 and the $4,000 exemption for
married couples be reduced to
$500
The senate's action put it in
dispute with the house, which left
the present scale of exemptions
untouched.
The reductions, it was estimated,
would raise $3O3,OOO,000 annually
in revenue, mostly from present
taxpayers, cause 4,911 900 more per-
sons to file income tax returns;
and require 2,256,OOO more persons
to pay taxes.
La FOllette charged that lower
ing personal income tax exemptions
would penalize families whose liv-
ing standards already are consid-
cred inadequate by the government.

Only Half Of All
Available Plants
On Defense Orders
Only 6657 Factories
Hold Arms Jobs at
End of IA Months

WASHINGTON, Sept. a
(UP) = An official survey
disclosed today that only
about one-half of the key
plants catalogued in original
Army-Navy industrial mobilization
plans arc working on munitions Or
ders.
The survey covered the status
of 1879 private plants which had
been earmarked by the army and
navy munitions board for produc-
ton of essential items in event OF
an emergency. Only 6,657 of the
factories hold defense contracts
after Ia months of big scale-spend-
ing.
Disclosure of the results of the
survey followed President Roose-
velt's press conference statement
Tuesday that the defense program
must be Speeded and expanded
through increase production,
spending, and conversion OF more
civilian goods plants to munitions
work. This also is the theme of the
new supply priorities and alloca-
tions board which has warned that
production for civilians faces sharp
cuMailment.
Factory operators gave defense
officials a wide variety of reasons
for failure to be given or to accept
defense work, it was said. These
were that not enough defense con-
tracts have been let; that scare
ity of machine tools has been a
handicap; that civilian business is
too, good; that management fears

Gebbie ranch was among the best

produced a higher yield than many
other farms.
The ranch, two m:es south of
the Ell Centre city limits, will be
released to the new owners, the
McRae family of Blytheville, Ark,
next Jan. l. The McRae family
knew c. E. Parker, formerly OF
Blytheville, who a year ago bought
ranch from Harold Hunt in the
vicinity of the Gebbie property.
Gebbie said he planned to re-

no definite plans as yet. He de-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. (UP)-
The Office of Production manage
ment's newly reorganized priori-
ties division will announce soon
a priority plan for providing build
ing supplies for defense housing
projects.
A blanket rating covering ma
terials such as steel, window
frames, screening, hinges, nails,
roofing wallboard and plumbing
equipment will be given to con-
certified defense areas. The areas
would be recommended for certi-
fication by defense housing coor-
dinator Charles F. Palmer.
The OPM's plan will place de-
fense housing projects ahead of
civilian and defense housing

The Agriculture department. La
Toilette said, holds that an ex-
penditure of $3.50 year for food
Is necessary fer a minimum
emergency diet for a family of
two adults and three children, and
Is not considered adequate for a
long period. The same family must
spend $500 for a minimum" diet.
$500 for an adequate diet, and
5000 for a liberal diet, he said.
THE average family with an in
come of 500 is living barely above
the minimum standard set by the
department of agriculture" La Fol-
lette said.
Il have an additional objection
to reducing the exemptions be-
cause of the enormous increase
which has occurred in recent years
in regreSSive taXeS-in manufac-
turers' excise and retail sales taxes.
1t must be borne in mind that
they have already dipped into the
low income groups of this country"
Sen. Alva B. Adams, D., Colo,
complained that the senate bill
would clip $500 from the exemption
allowed married couples, while cut
ting only $50 from those of the
unmarried.
That's ten to one; that's dis
criminatory, he said.

tok, the U. S. state department an
nounced, after Japan had protested
such shipments and the Tokyo gov
eminent had been urged to take
drastic action to halt them.
The oil for the Red army-re-
porting striking ceaselessly at the
Germans but still facing great mill
tary dangers-was intended as only
a beginning of outside aid to be
sent across the Pacific and through
the Near East, but Prime Minister
Winston Churchill in a speech at
London Indicated that such aid
was not enough in the war against
the Nazis
Churchill and Canadian Prime
Minister w. l.. Mackenzie King
spoke at a luncheon that seemed
intended primarily for the benefit
of the United States. They did
not ask the United states to de-
clare war, but the Canadian leader
suggested an American pledge TO
Britain similar to Churchill's pledge
that the empire would stand beside
the United States in any conflict
in the Pacific
MANPOWER Modified
The speeches, climaxing an in
creasingly open campaign to intens-
ify American participation in the
war, conceded with an official in
vitation for American senators and
representatives to visit England and
investigate the manner in which
American war materials are being
used The British also pressed mo-
biliZation of their maximum man
power for the armed forces in prep
aration for a future attempt to
wrest the war initiative from Ger
many.
Moscow dispatches reported that
fight was proceeding satisfactorily
despite the mounting threat to
Leningrad A series of Red army
counter attacks of a local nature
drove back the Germans on scat
tered sectors and appeared to slow
or halt the General Nazi advance.
The Russian gains, however, we're
definitely of a local nature and
were designed primarily to stop,
weaken and harass the broad Ger
man offensive. presumably with a
view to more general counter
offensive in the future if all went

So far, it has been impossible for
neutral observers to determine the
success or the extent of these oper-
ations, due largely to failure of
Moscow to give specific positions.

On the war front as a whole,
however, the Germans found prog

ly and faced important military
dangers as the Russians claimed to
