500 Soviet Vehicles
Destroyed East Of

Air Force Is Credited;
Armored Train Also
Declared Halted

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. 15.-More than
500 Russian motor vehicles have
been destroyed by the German air
force in new thrust east of the
Dnieper River. the news agency
D.NB. reported today.
Also caught in the Luftwaffe's
sweep, according to the official news
agency, were a Russian armored
train, which it said was brought to
a standstill, various artillery posi-
tions, put out of action and six
transport trains, halted by bombs.
The air force also effectively at
tackled Russian troops still holding
out on the island Of Oesel, in the
mouth of the Gulf of Riga.
The Russians acknowledged today
for the first time that the Germans
had crossed the Dnieper River south
of Kiev, at Kremenchug, and an
authoritative source in London said
that apparently there is now no
other natural obstacle except mud
between the Germans and the Don
River.
The Russians reported that Ger
manys vast losses were forcing
Hitler to strip whole garrisons from
many occupied sections and rush
them to the front as reinforcements,
thus enabling guerrillas to slash
more effectively at Nazi rearguards.
Already, Red Army bulletin said,
Soviet raiders behind the lines have
completely destroyed Fascist gar
risons in So populated points"

sought to increase their i1a-game
National League lead at the ex-
pense OF the Cincinnati Reds The
teams were tied at the end of the
tenth inning, to 0.
Johnny Allen, former American
Lacquer who has been used chiefly
as a relief hurler since the Dodgers
obtained him on waivers last month,
was pitching remarkable game
against Paul Derringer, veteran
curve baller of the world champions.
The feud between the Dodgers
and various National League UNI
pires broke out anew before
Brooklyn batter had taken his place
at the plate.
Dixie Walker, who was banished
from Yesterdays contest and fined
$50 for vehemently protesting
third strike, was Brooklyn's leadoff
man. He was slow leaving the dug
out and Plate Umpire Larry Goetz
ordered him to hustle to his place.
When he didn't, Goetz waved to
Paul Derringer, the Reds pitcher,
to start throwing.
At this juncture manager Du-
rocher rushed out and stood on
home plate in spite of Catcher
Ernie Lombard's attempts to push
him of. Finally lombard stepped
to one side and took a wide pitch,
which Goetz declared a strike.
Walker then took his place in the
batter's box and raised a pop fly.
Trouble broke out again between
the Dodgers and the arbiters In the

HACKENSACK, N. j., Sept. IS
Texas Johnny Kimbrough was sued
today for s5O0,OOO by Douglas G..
Hertz, owner of the New York
Yankees professional football team,
who charged the 1910 all-America
player with a breach of contract.
Hertz identified Secretary of Com
merce Jesse Jones as an adviser of
the former Texas A. and M. star.
Hertz, Rockleigh IN. j. sportsman
and promoter, also obtained in Vice
Chancellor Vivian M. Lewis court
in Paterson, N. j., temporary order
restraining Kimbrough from going
through with business activities I'M
less Hertz obtained partners share
of the profits. The order also called
for an accounting of the profits.
The breach of contract suit IN
Bergen County Court charged that
Kimbrough, now in Hollywood max
ing a motion picture, entered into a
five-year contract under which he
would play football and Hertz would
handle the fullback's personal activi-
ties and share equally in profits over
s25 1000. The football contract for
s12,500 annually was with the
Yankees club and separate from a
S25,o00 personal service contract
with Hertz.
Hertz said he had retained Everett
Crosby, brother of Bing Crosby, the
singer. to handle Kimbrough in
Hollywood, but that Hertz was cut
out of the profits there. Crosby was
restrained under the chancery court
order, returnable in Hackensack
October 6.
Hertz set forth that he asked
Secretary Jones in Washington
about his part in Kimbrough's af-
fairs and Jones told him his ''only
interest was that of fellow Texan"
In his suit Hertz stated he had a
letter in which Crosby said Jones
advised Kimbrough not to make any
contracts until the Hertz contract
was broken. Hertz quoted a section
of Crosbys letter as follows:
II will not be party to this plan
Of double crossing Hertz After all,
he was the one who hired me. I
told this to Jesse Jones over the wire

Kimbrough was supposed to start
football play today with the New
York Yankees. Hertz said Kim

Wage Tax Bill Offered
ToSaveD Concerns
S1,000,000 a Year
Measure Asks Levy
For JobIess Aid Be
Reduced to z Per Cent

Washington employers would be
saved at least 100000 a year in
pay roll taxes under provisions of a
bill introduced today by Representa-
tive Celler, Democrat, Of New York,
which would reduce the present
Federal levy under the Social Sc
curity Act for unemployment COM
pensation from 8 to 2 per cent be-
ginning January l.
The present local pay roll tax is
2.7 per cent and bill is now pend
ing before the Judiciary Subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee which would slash it as low
as one-half of l per cent in order
to put a brake on the ever-mount-
ing surplus in the fund from which
benefit claims are paid.
The excess in the Districts un-
employment compensation fund has
reached s23,000,000. Under the eX-
isting 2.7 rate, the District is COL
lecting approximately S5,000,000
year from employers and paying out
about 100000 a year in benefit
claims, which means that unless the
tax rate is reduced the surplus will
jump about s3,000,000 a year.
Jobless Tax Rate Cut Asked.
District unemployment compensa-
ton officials are hopeful that the
bill in the Judiciary Subcommittee,
which applies only locally, will be
enacted at the present session of
Congress. The Celler bill is ma
tional in scope and the rate reduc-
ton it proposes is not as great.
The District Commissioners we're
called on this afternoon to exert
their influence to see that the Dis
trict's unemployment compensation
tax rate be reduced to at least one
half of per cent, or possibly COM
pletely eliminated for time.
The plea came from Rufus S. Lusk,
President of the Washington Tax
payers Association before the bud
get hearing at the District Building,
who declared that any other tax saw
ings which the District might effect
would be chicken feed compared
to the money which would be saved
employers and the District as a
whole by reduction of the unern-
ployment compensation tax.
Legalized Larceny.
"For five years now," Mr.. LuSk
said, employers have been paying
four times as much money into this
fund as is needed 1t is nothing
short of legalized larceny to collect

Of Tax Exemptions

BY the Associated Press.
A joint Senate House Conference
Committee agreed formally this
afternoon on record-breaking
So, ,553 100000 tax bill and House
members of the group arranged to
report the compromise measure to
their chamber later in the day.
The bill was $50 100000 under the
total approved by the Senate, out
was S337 400 900 over the measure
originally approved by the House
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee said
the bill would be called up for House
action tomorrow and would be acted
upon then unless a roll call was
requested. If a roll call is asked
action will be deferred until Wednes-
day.
Immediate Senate Action.
The Senate is expected to act i'm
mediately after the House and send
the history-making measure, de-
signed to help offset heavy defense
expenditures, to the White House.
The joint conference group de-
creased from 10 to 6 per cent the
Senate-approved tax on local tele-
phone bills. The House originally
had approved per cent. The group
also reduced from 10 to 5 per cent
the levy on electric light bulbs. The
conference committee also agreed
on these provisions, some of which
previously had been reported unofi-
cially:
l. Accepted Senate amendment
reducing from $4,000 to $500 the
income tax exemption for married
persons and from $500 to $3.50 the
exemption for single individuals.
The Tresaury estimated the pro-
vision would raise an additional
1903 600 900 in revenue and would
require an additional 1880 600 per-
sons to file income tax returns.
Accepts Defense Surtax.
2. Accepted Senate provision In
cooperating the special 10 per cent
defense super-tax in the surtax
structure, thus changing surtax
rates slightly.
3. Accepted a Senate amendment
raising from to per cent the sur
taxes on corporation income UP to
s25,000 and from to per cent on
income over that figure.
4. Agreed to Senate amendment
eliminating special 10 per cent
levy on income of corporations which
do not earn sufficient profit to come
under the schedule of excess profits
taxes.
Immediately after the House con-
vened following its month-long leg
lslative holiday, Speaker Rayburn
appointed the ranking Democratic
and Republican members of the
House Ways and Means Committee
to represent the House at the con-
ference with the Senate.
No Opposition Appears.
Contrary to some expectations,
there was no opposition to the pro-
cedure and Speaker Rayburn told
newsmen there probably would be a
roll-call' vote Wednesday on the
question of adopting the recon-
mendations of the conferees.
Some legislators had expressed
belief that there would be sharp
criticism in the House of the SEN
ate-initiated move to lower individ-
ual income tax exemptions because
the House had had no opportunity
to vote on the proposition.
Earlier, Speaker Rayburn dis
closed at his press conference that
President Roosevelt would send to
Congress Thursday a message re-
garding lease-lend appropriations,
which informed sources said would
amount to about $4,000, 900 900.
