India and China Seeking
To Reopen Ancient Road
BY the Associated Press.

Sy the Associated HISSs
NEW DELHI, India, Sept. 10
Negotiations have begun between
the governments of India and China
aiming at the reopening OF the
ancient road across the Karakoram
Mountains to deliver war supplies,
a foreign affairs spokesman an
nounced today.
The centuries-old packhorse route
Is across range even more rugged
than the Himalayas, and was vir-
tually closed 10 years ago when
Sinkiang directed its trade to Russia
instead of India.
The two main passes are Kara
koran, 10000 feet high, and min
TAXA, $500 feet high. Both are
snowbound six months Of the year
Presumably the route would lead
from Peshawar on India's northwest
frantier to Yarkand by way of the
Mintaka Pass, or to Khotar
(Hotien) by way of the more east
erlv Karakoram Pass.
Thence the route to China would
be by caravan trail across the
Sinkiang Deserts to LanchoW ir
Northwestern China, a distance OF
800 airline miles.

Increase in Tax
On Income Over
.S2,000Weighed
Senators Consider
Adjusting Rotes After
Victory Tex Is Voted
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Further increases In individual
income taxes were reported ur1-
der consideration by the Senate
Finance Committee today as 1t
worked to complete action on the
new revenue bill this week.
Chairman George told reporters
the committee might readiust indi-
vidual income tax rates In the lower
brackets in view of it's adoption of
the S per cent victory" levy against
all earnings above 1924 a year.
He said, however. that this might
involve "fiattening out" the surtax
brackets above the very lowest in
come classes. Other members inter-
preted that as meaning an increase
in the rates paid by persons with
net incomes OF So 900 a year and up.
AS the bill now stands, the first
dollar of taxable net income would
be assessed 6 per cent normal and
l3 per cent surtax, q total Of 10.
That rate would not increase until
the income reached the S2,000-to-
$4,000 bracket, where the normal
rate would be 8 per cent and the
surtax Is per cent, q total Of as.
100000 Taxpayers Added.
Some committee members said IL
was possible that revisions might be
made to graduate surtaxes upward
in brackets of $500 instead Of 2,0O0
at a jump. That would provide a
substantial increase in the bills
yield.
The committees approval Of the
victory" levy brought 14.000, 900
additional persons into the field OF
potential Federal taxation and
boosted the anticipated tax yield
from individuals to $1o.462, ,o00, 900
in full years operations.
The 100000 persons who would
pay taxes under the measure would
provide approximately 81 900 ,o00, 900

Canada East Coast Toll
Higher in Subs Than Ships.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1o.-Frank
Lowe, Canadian Press writer, re-
ported from an East Coast Canadian
air base today that a record cover
ing this summers operations showed
more U-boats destroyed by bombers
off Canada's East Coast than Allied
surface ships sunk there by sub
marines.
Mr.. Lowe said the sinkings were
recorded in the intelligence ONCE Of
the base headquarters.
Dominating the room," he re-
ported, is huge map of Canada's
Eastern seaboard, dotted with little
black paper cut-outs, some in the
shape Of surface ships and some in
the shape of submarines. The ships
represent craft sunk by enemy ac-
tion-the submarines victories scored
by bombers from this base.
Encouraging is the fact that the
black shapes with the coming tow
ers outnumber the ones with the
tunnels, though, naturally, the map
is not = pictorial history Of the en-
tire year Of war, merely . record
OF the summers activities"

more revenue than all corporations,
which would pay $9,413, 600 900 un-
der tentatively approved rates.
The committee thus has reversed
the House position and made indi-
viduals, rather than business, the
principal taxpayers. AS the bill was
approved by the House, individuals
would have been assessed $7,917,-
100000 yearly and corporations
s10.287 100000.
In other actions yesterday, the
committee voted, 13 to 4, to increase
to $4,000 the maximum amount
that might be left to heirs by any
individual without the payment OF
estate taxes.
The present law sets an overall
limitation of $4,000, but provides
that no more than half of this may
be in insurance. The House aboi-
ished the insurance provision, but
set the limit at $4,000.
Loss in Revenue Noted.
The committee voted IL to to
adopt a House-approved section
providing that in community prop
erty states the property purchased
by either individual in a marriage
must be counted in his estate for
taxation at his death, instead Of
being divided equally between hus-
band and wife.
A congressional survey of COM
pulsory savings plans also was ap-
proved Yesterday by the committee,
Taking cognizance of recent
statement by Secretary OF the
Treasury Morgenthau that the
Treasury could not rely beyond the
end of this year on voluntary
financing, the committee wrote into
the measure provision setting up
11-member committee to study
compulsory savings and report to

ATLANTA, Sept. 10.-Appar-

Governor of Georgia, Eugene
Talmadge today trailed far be-
hind youthful Attorney General
Ellis Arnall in nearly complete
reports from yesterdays Demo-
cratic primary.
Representative Ramspeck, in a
close contest, apparently was
winning over two opponents.

At this time the 57-year-old,
three-term chief executive counted
as complete In his column only 40
counties with 100 units.
Arnall Has Wide Margin.
Incompletely reported counties in
which Mr.. Arnall led gave him
tentative total of 261 units, while
Gov. Talmadge was ahead in enough
to give him 149 If there are no
switches.
The overall popular vote, which
has no bearing on the result, was
154, 1891 for Mr.. Arnall and 1881
for Gov. Talmadge in the latest
tally.
Stirred by lively campaigning
which saw the square -jawed Tai
madge rallying his forces under the
ancient banner of white supremacy,
the voting was brisk, but orderly
and in dozens of counties fewer
than 100 votes decided which man
was to receive the county's units.
In rural Evans County, a popular
vote tie brought split in the two

county the winners majority was
