Stain Gets Berlin Messoge---
From Own Bombing Plane

returning to our ardrome. Ready
to accomplish any new order"
The Russian planes which bombed
Berlin and other German cities flew
by instrument through electric
storms on one section of their Jour-
rey, and one plane dropped In a
down air current from $4,000 feet
to 4500 feet before checking its
descent.
When the raiders reached the
Nazi capital the flyers said they
found bombing conditions good,
with an almost full moon. They
were met by sky full of searchlight
beams and bursting shells from
large caliber anti-aircraft guns.
The flyers said they dropped their
bombs on their main target in Ber-
lin. and saw fires and explosions
flare up.

Senators Hint RumI
May Be Recalled
To Defend Tax Plan
Treasury Experts Offer
New Schedule Of
Corporation Rotes
r. ]. A. OLEARY.

tEaTIcf StOTf on rage ALL
A strong likelihood developed to-
day that Beardsley Ruml. chairman
of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank, will be given another oppor-
tunity to go before the Senate
Finance Committee next week to de-
fend his plan to put income tax pay
ments on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Chairman George said no decision
had been reached. but it is known
committee members are discussing
the advisability of calling him again.
despite tentative rejection of his
plan several days ago
Meanwhile, Treasury exper
brought to the committee today
another new corporation rate sched-
ule that would boost the combined
normal and surtax rate from As per
cent in the House bill to 55 per cent.
coupled with IL per cent post war
credit on total income taxes paid.
Profits Tax Provision.
The excess profits tax would be
retained at 80 per cent. but with a
provision that in no case would
corporations overall tax bill exceed
30 per cent of taxable income.
Treasury officials had not COM
pleted their explanation of the new
plan when the committee recessed
for lunch, but already there were
indications 1t was encountering op-
position.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, contended that the proposed
10 per cent increase in the COM
blned normal and surtax rate would
take more from the corporations
now than they would get back in
the postwar credit, designed to
tide business over the economic ad-
Justments likely to be necessary
after the war.
Estimates Credits.
He estimated that the II per cent
postwar credit on all taxes would
be equivalent to only 6.6 per cent
OF the increase in the House rates.
The Virginian also declared that
the proposed post war credit,
spread over four years, would
amount to $1,000, 900 900 year, and
said If the war lasts a long time
the Treasury might not be able to
return the credits without levyine
additional taxes on the corporations
in order to give them back the
credits.
In the House bill the normal rate
on corporations is "a per cent, with
a graduated surtax schedule reach
ing u per cent on companies with
income above $4,000 a year. This
makes the combined rate of as.
which the Treasury is proposing to
raise to 55 per cent.

Learned 10 Shoot
As University Coed
Am Saving Russian Lives
By Killing Nozis,' Says
Green Uniformed Miss

Lyudmila Pavlichenko was girl
In Kiev who wanted to be scholar
in history. Instead she became a
Soviet sniper, and today the stocky
soldier told newspaper men and
women at the Soviet Embassy how
to kill Germans.
Every German who remains alive
will kill women, children and old
folks" she said. Dead Germans
are harmless. Therefore, if I kill
German I am saving lives"
Junior 1t. Pavlichenko, 26. dressed

courage has won him the highest
Soviet decoration, Hero of the
Soviet Union. and Vladimir Poe

for Moscow.
Il learned to shoot long time ago

Miss Pavlichenko said. Now she has
300 dead Germans to her credit. She
is a stocky girl, with hair cut short.
She wears high black boots. Her
green military cap has mauve band
around it, She listens intently. look
ing a bit like Madam LaFarge.
1T was the German snipers who
taught me caution she said. But
soon she became so apt that the
Germans knew about her by name
and during one engagement the
Germans called out toward the Rus

pet.
'Lyudmila Pavlichenko, come over
to us. We will give you lots of choco-

No Rule Against Makeup.
A neWspaperwoman asked the
fighting girl if she were allowed to
use makeup at the front.
There is no rule against it," she
said, but who has time to think of
her shiny nose when battles going
on?"
Sr. 1t. Krasavchenko listed the
three essentials that make good
sniper:
Good aim, adroitness, endur-

The girl said the number of wo-
men at the Russian front is small
In response to question, she said:
Il am sure American women will
fight side by side with their men,
folk with the same valor as the Rus
slams if it becomes necessary"
The visitors spoke only in Russian,

tralto. Vladimir Pastoev, of the

Background Of Anti Trust Suit
Aquinst Associated Press

ture as membership corporation
cooperative in nature
Ofilcers of the Associated Press
requested a written statement of
the position of the Justice Depart
ment and Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Thurman Arnold's reply was
presented at the annual meeting of
the Associated Press last fall.
The result was the adoption of
amendments to the bylaws elini-
mating the right of protest and SUBJ
stituting a majority for four
fifths vote for election to member
ship.
At the same meeting applications
of the Chicago Sun and Times
Herald were presented under the
new bylaw requiring majority
vote and lost for failure to get the
majority.
On May %, subsequent to the
annual meeting, Mr.. Arnold noti-
fled the Associated Press that the
Anti Trust Division was authorized
to proceed and asked for further
conference A special meeting of
the board was held on June 1918,
when matters presented by the
Justice Department were reviewed.
Mr.. Arnold was, at his own sugges-
ton, present during a part of the
discussion and personally presented
the views of the Antitrust Division.
Two Inquiries.
These views included specifically
two inquiries:
l. The Department wished to
know whether the Associated Press
desired to enter a stipulation eoF
agree on a statement Of facts In
tended to bring legal questions
promptly before the Supreme Court
in civil action, to which the De-
partment would agree. provided the
Associated Press would render SER
vice temporarily to the applicants
pending the decision Of the courts.
2. Make disclosure of its opera
tions and records for the purpose OF
arriving at the form of such stipu-
lation; and to permit examination
of the operations of the Associated
Press In the light Of the law.
After consideration the board de-
cided it did not possess power under
the bylaws to grant temporary
service to the applicants and au-
thorized counsel to confer with rep
resentatives OF the Justice Depart
ment on the question of information
requested; but the board added that
it found itself unable to act on the
proposal that the Associated Press
enter into a stipulation or agreed
statement of facts as suggested.

NEW YORK. Aug. 28.-That the
Associated Press was under inves-
tigation first came to the attention
of officers of the organization early
in 1941.
At that time an informal discus
sion was requested by representa-
tives of the antitrust division of the
Justice Department as the result of
expressions on the part of the
Washington Times Herald that the
paper desired services of the Asso-
ciated Press.
The Times-H Herald was not at that
time an applicant for membership
nor were the officers informed that
formal complaint had been lodged
with the Justice Department.
Bylaws Examined.
At the annual meeting OF the As
sociated Press in 1941 all questions
arising in the inquiry appeared to
be in allegiance. but the Board OF
Directors called attention Of the
membership to the desirability of
modernizing many of the bylaws
and a committee was appointed to
examine all phases Of the bylaw
structure and to determine whether
changes were desirable In the best
interests of the Associated Press.
Both the applications of the
Times Herald and the Chicago Sun
were reported to the regular meet
ing OF the board on October 2, l941,
and it developed that all efforts to
harmonic the interests Of the Chi
cago members had been unavailing
The Chicago Daily News waived ifs
right of protest. but the Chicago
Tribune and Chicago Herald-Amer-
lean formally declared unwilling
ness to waive. On the Times Her
aid application the Washington Post
declined to waive while the Wash
ington Star reserved judgment.
Under date OF February II. 1942
the Justice Department formally
notified the Associated Press that 9
number of complaints had been re.
ceived by the antitrust division ol
the department and that in the
opinion of the Assistant Attorney
General the denial of service, in.

trust laws. The Assistant Attorney

the passage OF the Sherman Act.
At that time a very serious menace
to the freedom of the press con-
fronted American newspapers. They
were threatened by sinister
domination by private interests of
their news services, both American
and foreign. To meet that menace
the Associated Press Of Illinois was
formed. 1t was national in character,
non profit making and owned by its
member newspapers, who were
pledged to collect an honest. un-
biased news report for the benefit of
their readers.
In 1900 it was superseded by the
present Associated Press, a New
York membership corporation of the
same character and purposes.
Under it's New York charter the
Associated Press carried on its pur-
poses unchallenged until 1915, when
a complaint against it was filed by
non-member paper which operated
a rival news service. That COM
plant was considered by T. w.
Gregory, then Attorney General in
the Wilson administration, and on
March IL, 1915. he decided formally
that it was without merit.
No Complaint Since 1915.
Incidental to that decision Mr.
Gregory called attention to the fact
that one article of the bylaws, de-
signed to prevent the leakage OF
news from the Offices of members
newspapers, was so drawn that it
might be interpreted as forbidding
members to buy the service of COM
petitive press associations, organ
ized for profit This bylaw had not
been enforced, but in response to
Mr.. Gregorys doubts it was abro-
gated.
Since then until the beginning of
the present proceedings, no COM
plant that the Associated Press
cooperative operations were in con-
fict with the Sherman Act, or with
any other law, had been lodged by
any one.
In the interval there was a steady
widening Of the service it provided
for its members. and a steady
growth In membership A few fig
ures will show how this growth has
worked. In 1904 the Associated
Press had 64S members. At present
there are approximately 1,400
simultaneously, there has been q
vast improvement and extension in
the service. In 1904 the news re-
port furnished to members ran to
$4,000 words a day. Today it runs
to 1,ooO,0 900.
Has 1900 Employees.
At the same time the Commercial
news services. organized for profit
have risen and f1ourished in fret
rivalry with the Associated Press
and with yet other news services thu
Associated Press has maintained
friendly arrangements for the ex
change of news. 1t is noteWorth,
that in the last few years the Asso
ciated Press was able to create 1
worldwide American news service
It has followed throughout it's 4
years the one purpose of providing
its members with the most complet
and accurate news service obtainablt
along with the best picture servic
and other necessary auxiliary serv
ices. 1t has today staff of 7,20
men and women, leased wire net
work of 285 900 miles, 100 bureaus il
the United States and nearly 25
correspondents abroad.
The Board of Directors reiterate
its belief that the operation an
practices of the Associated Pres
comply fully with all the laws OF tn
United States and that the charge
brought are without foundation i
