S ANNUAL TAX
 ON AUTOS FOUGHT
Senators LaFOllette, Dana- her Lead Fight in Sen.
 ate Against Tax

Washington, Sept. 6 - (UP) = Senators Robert M. LaFollette, Prog, Wis, and John A. Danaher, R., Conn, led a fight in the senate today to eliminate from the pend- ing tax bill a $5 annual automobile use" tax.
 If enacted, the tax would be im- posed upon 32,00o,000 owners of mo- tor vehicles and would raise an esti- mated $l60, 200 900 annually.
 La Toilette attacked the tax as unjust and negotiable" contend ing that 1t was unfair to tax the owner of a $l00 jalopy and the owner of a $3,000 town car at the same rate.
 Danaher predicted that if the principle of such tax were accept cd 1t would lead to taxes on any kind of durable goods.
 If it is $5 this year 1t may be $25 next year." he said.
 Either La Toilette or Danaher will move today to eliminate the tax from the bill which at its present stage will yield an estimated $3,63S,- 900 600 !n revenue annually. Yester- days debate saw the measure shrink $45 100000 when the senate re- jected the finance committees pro- posal for increasing admissions taxes to IS per cent. It voted to ac- cept the house rate of 10 per cent.

NEW HAVEN TAXES
 BRITISHP PROPERTY
Asst. Corporation Counsel Claims Such Property Is
 Not Tax Exempt

New Haven, Conn.,, Sept. S-(UP) Assistant Corporation Counsel David s. Rivkin issued an opinion today, stating that property owned by Great Britain in this city was not tax exempt.
 Ills opinion came following dis. closure that the British government has asked the state tax department to declare tax exempt property to- tailng more than $s4,o00,oo0 at Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven, Bridgeport and Danbury.
 A ruling from Attorney General Francis A. Pallottl on the question was being awaited.
 The local board of assessors, dc" spite Rivkin's ruling, was refraining from taking any assessment action against British owned property pending the attorney generals rul- ing.
 No state taxes were involved in the controversy, only local taxes over which the state has supervis- ion.
 Approximately $50o0o0 in tax money was at stake In the five cit- les.

CONN. A.F.L. WILL
 END CONVENTION
Reelection of All Present Officers Seems Practical
 Iy to Be Assured

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept, 6.-(UP) The annual convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor concludes today following the as- sured reelection of President James J. ClerlIin, New Britain, and Sec retary John J. Egan.
 Action also was expected some time during the day on resolution proposing peace negotiations be- tween the federation and the Con- gress for Industrial Organization, The resolution, sponsored by the Cigar Makers Union of New Haven, suggested a November joint con- Vention of the two labor groups,
 No contests were expected for any major office except that of vice. president from the Hartford area. John J. Miller, Hartford, was seek ing reelection to the post, but Eugene St. Pierre, also was Q can- didate.
 Lieut.. Gov. Odell Shepard told the convention late yesterday that "blg business is just as capable as labor of carrying on sabotage"
 "Why all this delay and confu- sionp" Shepard asked. "In large part because big business is trying to take full advantage of Q big war boom while attending with It's left hand, to the unacceptable needs of defense.
 Because capital is still thinking in terms of profit when we should all be thinking about matters of national life and death, Because our American business world still thinks and works in the old-fash- toned terms of scarcity, though 1t Is living in Q world of potential baum dance"

THIRD BATTLE ON
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Invading Troops Are Using 'BIitz' Tactics in Four
 Spearhead Attacks

Fort Deyens, Mass, Sept. 5-(UP) Invading troops using "blitz" tac- tics drove southeast from the New Hampshire hills in four spearheads today in attacks on defending army positions as sharp fighting ragged in the third battle of New England's largest practice war.
 The 22,OO0 soldiers swept down from the hills at dawn to begin the assault on strategic territory east of East Peppereu in the rear of the defending army's lines. Sixth Army corps headquarters reported fight ing had developed along a battle front extending from Townsend Harbor to Hollis, N. H.
 Both armies were relying heavily on the support of tank" units as the first "blitz" warfare began for the 10000 northeast troops engaged in war games. However, the tanks actually were only army "jeeps" and trucks marked with placards be- cause all real tanks assigned to the Sixth Army corps were being used at Fort DevenS for ~training pur- poses.
 The defending army headquarters reported all bridges north 0 Wood vile had been destroyed" during the night in an attempt to stem the advance of the mechanical in- vaders. Both forces shifted to to. days battle positions under black cut conditions last night.
 sixth Army corps headquarters ct Pepperell announced prepara- tions had been made for the de- parture of its advance attachments about Sept. IS for two months of war games in the Carolinas.

Intensive training is given in chemical warfare defense because the war analysts have found that 33 per cent of the American doughboy casualties in the past world war were caused by gas.
 Gas is considered strictly stalemate weapon. Chemical war; fare officers account for the fact that no reports have been heard of gas use in the current Euro. pean war by explaining that fighting so far has been moving combat. They believe that tho moment the war becames q giant battle of positions ana a deadlock seems to have been reached, gas will be brought into play.
