To Recognize Jap Conquest

Thailands Minister to the United
States, refusing to recognize the re-
ported capitulation of his govern
ment to japanese invaders, is de-
termined to work here from now on
"for one thing only-the re-estab-
lishment of free and independent
Thailand"
The Minister, Nom Rajawongse
Semi Pramoj, announced his posi-
ton at a press conference last night,
sorrowfully explaining that 1T is no
longer possible to be sure whether
instructions reaching me from
Bangkok are those of the Thai gov
ernment or are dictated by the
armed invaders"
His actions here will be dictated,
he made clear, by his conviction
that "the will of Thailand Is to re-
sist aggression with every resource
-. TO remain free"
He appealed to the freedom
loving people of the United States"
to help him carry on the struggle
for the freedom of Thailand."

Soldier Guard Fires Shot
Al Power Plant ProwIer

A soldier guard stationed at the
Benning Power Plant, one of the
chief sources of power for the Dis
trict, reported that he fired one
shot at a white man, about IS,
whom he saw creeping toward the
high wire fence around the prop
erty at 6:45 o'clock this morning.
The soldier, Pvt. Robert A. Keeler,
703d Headquarters Company, told
police he saw the man sneak from
a patch of weeds toward the fence
and that he called to him to halt.
When the command was ignored,
according to the guard, he fired his
.45-caliber service revolver. The
shot caused the intruder to turn
and flee northward up the nearby
river bank.
Policeman r. j. James of No. II
precinct, sent to the scene in a
scout car, reported he found no
blood or other indication that the
man had been hit. He said it was
likely the bullet had richocheted
against the close steel netting of
the fence.

Maryland Council
Discusses Problem
OF Defense Cost
Chonce for Income Tex
Cut Dims With Heavy
Demands on Fund
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Dec. IL. - New
financial problems raised by war and
costly defensive measures were dis
cussed today at special meeting OF
the Board of Public Works.
Funds for the State Guard, pro-
posed increases in State employees
salaries, and taxes were expected to
be major questions coming before
the Joint meeting with Gov. O'Conor.
State fiscal experts said special
General Assembly session to appro-
pirate more funds for defense would
be necessary if the State Guard is
kept on active duty any length OF
time
They estimated it would cost more
than 100000 a year to maintain
the entire Guard, and reported only
s270,732 remained in the treasury
for Guard maintenance and other
defense expenditures.
A few State Guard companies
went on duty Tuesday, and the re-
naming companies were called out
by Gov. O'Conor last night for tenn
porary duty guarding vital industries
and facilities. -- o..
Treasury experts estimated 1t
would cost $33651 daily to keep a
single company Of II men and OIL
ficers on active duty. ..
The Guard already has asked for
$4,000 for equipment, not including
funds for guardsmens pay or ammu-
milton, they added, and the State
also must pay from its defense al
lotment the funds to maintain the
defense council and State armories.
State Employment Commissioner
Harry C. Jones is urging increased
pay in the State merit system to stop
the loss of trained personnel to
higher paying jobs in the civil
service and private industry. He
has termed the situation serious.
Some State officials said it now
appeared unlikely that proposals to
reduce the State income tax could
be carried out, especially if heavy
appropriations have to be made
for defense activities.
Gov. O'Conor, weeks before the
war broke out, had said he was
considering reduction in the in
come levy since Maryland has q
surplus of more than $4,000, 900.
