Ey the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug Thur
man Arnold. head of the ANTITRUST
division of the Justice Department,
declared in Federal Court today that
the Radio Corp. of America, the
American Telephone g. Telegraph
Co. and other big radio corporations
"are now engaged in a new monop-
oily covering the whole radio field
Mr.. Arnold's charges came during
argument on Government petit
ton to dismiss a 10-year-old con-
sent decree against nine radio and
electrical manufacturing firms which
the Government charged had vio-
lated antitrust statutes.
Declaring the old consent decree
had become an "unholy vehicle for
the enforcement of the law in this
case" Mr.. Arnold told Judge Albert
B. Maris Attorney General Francis
Biddle believes the decree now is
ineffective.
The decree divorced the RCA
from General Electric Co. and
Westinghouse and prohibited the
firms involved from claiming ex-
elusive rights to certain radio
patents.
Other companies affected were In
ternational General Electric, Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., Inc; RCA

pose a wartime retail sales tax, esti-
mating that a S per cent levy would
raise s2,500,000, 900.
Senator Vandenberg told the
committee the Detroit Edison Co.
had informed him a shortage of Of
flee machines would make 1t phys
ically impossible to comply with the
withholding tax provisions OF the
bill
The bill provides for collection at
the source of a portion of the tax on
wages, dividends and bond interest.
The rate would be per cent next
year and 10 per cent after January
l, 1874. Credit would be given
against income Ia xdue for the year.
Three representatives of the coin
and vending machine industry asked
for reductions in proposed rates for
their devices.
George M. Glassgold of New York
suggested five classifications of ma
chimes, with taxes ranging from IS
to $50 a year for various types of
slot, pinball and amusement ma
chimes.
Harry c. Lansing, Chicago, and
Herman A. Bruntjen. Minneapolis.
said a proposed $40 a year tax on
ball-gum vending machines would
drive the operations out Of business.
Representative Dewey. Republican,
Of Illinois proposed to- <the commit
tee that 1t revamp the revenue bill
to provide for issuance OF nom
negotiable Government bonds for 10
per cent of the excess profits taxes
and per cent of the surtax levies
which would be paid by corporations.
Representative Dewey said these
bonds might be called 10 years after
the end of hostilities and made nego-
table as soon after the war ended
as the Treasury and Federal Reserve
System decided.
At the suggestion of Senator Con-
nally, Democrat, Of Texas, Chair
man George agreed the resubmit to
the committee the question of re-
vising the method OF levying Fed
eral income taxes in the so-called
community property States.
At present a taxpayer in such a
State may divide his income with
his wife for tax purposes. filing
separate returns which would ordi-
narily reduce the amount OF tax
paid.
The Treasury has proposed limi-
tation barring such division in the
case Of earned income and the COM
mittee previously voted to consider
this suggestion.

This is the story that Langley
Collyer told:
Descendants of one of New York S
oldest families. the brothers moved
into the Harlem house in 1909 to live
a quiet life.
For time Homer pursued his oc-
cupation as an admiralty lawyer and
Langley went about his business as
a piano dealer. but in 1888 Homer
went blind and later became par
alyzed as a result of inf1ammatory
rheumatism.
Homer and I decided we would
not call in any Doctors Langley
said You see, we know too much
about medicine. Doctors would re-
move Homers' optic nerve and he
would be blind forever. and they
would treat his rhumatism with
drugs that would shorten Homer S
life.
No, we decided to do it our own
way--by diet and rest. Homer eats
100 oranges a week. and Is improv-
ing. He can sit up little now. We
believe in letting nature take its
course.
Tends to All Wants.
Il cook his meals and have to cut
up his meat into little cubes so he
can eat with spoon. I have tc
bathe him and tend to all his wants
I used to read to him. We have all
the classics in our library. I used to
read Shakespeare and Dickens, but
my eyes went bad, and I stopped
So now we just talk and listen tc
the radio.
When Homer first lost his sight
he used to see visions of beautiful
buildings-always in red. He would
describe them to me and I would
try to paint them just as he di'
rected. Some day when Homer re-
gains his sight, will show the
paintings to him"
Langley said he and Homer lone
ago gave up gas and electricity
cooking on a kerosene stove and gen.
Grating their own electric power
with an old automobile engine.

District Jail, where they have been
prisoners since being brought to
Washington for trial before the mill
tary commission.
There had been speculation among
persons informed on the progress
of the secret military trial that if
anv clemency we're shown, it prob
ably would be for George John
Dasch and Ernest Peter Burger.
These sources emphasized that
this view was solely a matter of
speculation since only President
Roosevelt could make the final de-
cislon.
Leader Of Party.
Dasch, SO. native Of Speyer on
the Rhine, Germany. was The leader
of the four man team which landed
from a submarine near Amagansett
Long Island Burger, 36, native OF
Augsburg. Germany, was in Dasch's IS
group.
| From the first there were reports
that Dasch might receive treatmen,
different from that of his COM
panions because of help given to
the Government. These reports
were given emphasis when Dascf
was assigned special counsel at the
military trial and was the only one
of the eight who did not join in the
habeas corpus petition to the Su'
preme Court.
The reports concerning Burger
were less positive. But they gainet
momentum as the trial progressed
and in the last two weeks person!
familiar with the details Of the cast
have said that Burger as well a
Dasch mad an excellent opportunit.
to share in any clemency.
The prosecution asked death TO
all eight of the prisoners.
The District Building denied ru
mors that the Jail had beel
instructed to permit the Army +

ON THE INDO-BURMA FROM
TIER, by Air Courier to Calcutta,
Aug. Along the monsoon swept
coast Of Arakan. in Lower Burma,
japanese army outposts are isolated
and appear powerless Immediately
to seize any military advantage from
India's threatened civil disobedience
against continued British rule.
Some of Indias finest troops, lib
orally supported by crack infantry
from the British Isles, guarded the
Bengal Burma border and coastal
approach to Calcutta.
Last spring the japanese might
have eovanced by small show OF
force during dry weather but now
sweep through the mangrove
swamrs. with high winds blowing
continuously, would require a full
scale naval and land operation.
Rains to End in Two Months.
Although the monsoonS and tor
rental rains are due to end IN less
than two months, japanese forces IN
Burma have given no indication as
yet that they are gathering to at
tack India in October
The japanese garrison nearest the
Bengal frontier is at Akyab, 90 miles
to the southeast.
Occasionally harassed by the Raj
and cut off much of the time by
storms from its supply bases. this
garrison is reported low in spirits.
Farther inland, in the Arakan
hills. the japanese have abandoned
an outpost at Paletwa, 9 miles from
Bengal. allowing Indian army
scouts to penetrate into Burma a
considerable distance without oppo-
sition.
Indian army patrol work offers
solid evidence of having benefited
by the lessons of Malaga and Bur-
ma. Men carry less poundage OF
regulation pack equipment. hike for
a week tn the jungle without requir-
ing additional supplies and make
their own RATS and sampans Tor
river travel. All are armed with
tommy guns.
Political Squabbles Remote.
Political squabbles in New Delhi
and Bombay seem very remote to
the Indian army's officers and men
stationed in alf-drowned village
camps.
Newspapers with accounts OF In
dian political speeches are a week
old by the time they arrive at the
front line and they stir up little
comment.
If an invasion comes eventually
it will find Indians from the north
western mountains. from the PunJat
plain and from the southern prov
inces. fighting for India against
the japanese regardless of the sit
uation at home.

Norwegians Heed P|ei
OF Patriots, ImperiI
Nazi Coast Defenses
First Results Of Appeal
To Workers Reported
In lofoten Islands
By PAUL GHALI,

Foreign Correspondent OF The Star ano
Chicago Daily News,
BERN, Aug. German coastal
defenses in Norway are being jeop-
ardised following an appeal by Nor
vegian patriots to their fellow
countrymen. exhorting them to sab
otage the Nazi scheme for compul-
sorry mobilization of workers in their
country.
According to Stockholm dis
patches, the appeal. widely circu-
lated by the free trade union move
ment IN Norway's illegal press,
pointed out the Germans intend to
make the country an "unassailable
fortress" with the enforced help of
its own inhabitants.
The Norwegians, the appeal con-
tinues. must never assist in the con-
soGdation of their own serfdom.
They must refuse to work or flee
their homes. The Nazis must be
taught that a Norwegian worker
cannot be forced to erect fortifica-
tions against his own country.
Workers Refuse.
The first results of the appeal are
reported from the Lofoten Islands,
where, according to the Swedish
press, conscripted Norwegian work.
ers refused to assist in building ex-
tensive coastal defenses. Some
downed their tools and others fed.
Mass arrests followed with Gestapo
Intervention. But only few Nor
wegians returned to work.
Higher up the coast patriot
fisherman bluntly refused to obey
the decree of the German naval
commander at Tromsoe forbiddlng
fishing In northern waters.
New DEGREES Issued.
To meet the situation the Nazis
Issued q series of new DEGREES. Nor
vegians who refuse to work are now
liable to immediate arrest. Con-
tractors must denounce them to the
police. Norwegian employers may
engage only workers with certificates
stamped by Lne OCcupatlOn dutllor =
tiles releasing them for work in
private undertakings. Severe pun
ishments are threatened for persons
concealing workers and for dis
obedient fishermen.
Whether these measures will deter
Norwegian resistance remains to be
seen. If it does not the Nazis may
be expected to 60 to unheard of
lengths to insure the completion of
the coastal defenSes.
The Quisling authorities have off,
cially denied that the late Explorer
Nansen's son, Odd Nansen, has been
sentenced to hard labor. Odd, they
say, Is in a concentration camp at
Grini living under the same condi-
tions as other prisoners and per-
forming the same work"

Mr.. Hauck said he did not think
%.
While Mr.. Hauck was explaining
that it has been difficult to find out
what the steel requirements are for
the war program because the scope
Of the war program was constantly
changing, Chairman Truman OBJ
served:
II think we are all in the same
boat. None OF us have appreciated
the magnitude of the job we have
undertaken
Chairman Truman and Senator
Kilgore both told the witness their
mail indicates such plants are not
kept busy.
Senator Kilgore declared there
are many finishing plants in the
country that should be supplied
with the ingots and other materials
to share in the war effort instead
of planning to build completely
tnteerated new steel plants, which
take longer.
West Virginian Testifies.
A few minutes later Chairman
Truman called to the stand John
r. Budke, vice president of the Par
kersburg Iron and Steel Co. of Par
kersburg, w. Va. who testified that
although the company has Ca
pacity for $500 tons Of steel per
month. its output had dropped to
40 tons in June.
The drop in production was d.
rectly attributable to failure to OBJ
tain business from the United States
Government and its affiliated agen-
cies," Mr.. Budke testified, adding
that from January to July Of this
year its orders from the Govern
ment amounted to 800 tons.

was any conscious plan or effort or
the part of the large steel COM
panies, or their employees nov

Small Industry At Stake.
Mr.. Budke said 1t may have beer
inevitable that some companie
would suffer disadvantages in ordeI
to further the war effort. but HI
thought the time had come for th'
Government to consider not onl.
the war effort, but the preservation
OF small industry for the future.
Mr.. Budke concluded with tn
statement that none OF the omcial
Of the seven or eight small shee
mills now remaining In the indus
