THE means of achieving unity
Gen. De Gaulle told newsmen, "is
the immediate establishment Of a
general French power here to decide
all things in the conduct of the war
IN alt parts of the French empire
freed from the enemy yoke"
He outlined the characteristics OF
this desired power as follows:
First, it must be capable materi-
ally and morally of directing the
efforts of the French in the
war. =
Second. it must be based on real
French sovereignty
Third, it is indispensable that it
be in harmony with the masses of
the French people. We should not
create something here in Algeria
which is different from what the
French people want"
He added that he believed Gen.
Giraud was in full accord.
There was at least an outward
atmosphere of conciliation as Gen.
Giraud shook hands with Gen. De

"are good, powerful, thoroughly

The general declared that "the
tank destroyers did fine job where
they had the opportunity for proper

takes came from too much boldness

rent tax bill will 60 before the
House and Senate for final action in
a compromise form that Chairman
George OF the Senate Finance Com
mittee said eliminates it as a po-
litical issue
Both sides sought to make po-
litical capital out of the bill-the
Republicans through their sponsor
ship Of the Ruml principle of abat-
ing full years taxes for everybody
to get the desired current payments
and the Democrats by striking back
with charges their political op-
ponents were seeking to discrim-
mate in favor Of the rich at the
expense OF the poor in advocating
such forgiveness" Of past liabilities.
AS the bill finally came out of a
joint conference committee Of the
two houses, however, it was in such
form that neither side apparently
feels safe in claiming it had won a
clean-cut victory. Leaders of both
parties said privately they are dis
posed to abandon it as a political
issue if Mr.. Roosevelt does not re-
vive the question. Administration
leaders are reported to have been
assured that the President will sign
the bill.
The Republicans got at least a
part Of their plan across, since the
compromise abates a full years
levies for all persons with $50 or less
tax. The Democrats forced the
general abatement down from the
100 per cent envisioned by the Ruml
plan to IS per cent Of the lesser of
either 1912 or 1943 taxes for most
Of the remaining taxpayers.
