Washington, Oct 1J--INS- Ar
thur J. Altmeyer, chairman OF the

gress TO permit an increase
in old-age annuity payroll taxes.

the present law a two per cent pay
roll tax on employer and an equal
tax on employe becomes effective

Under certain assumptions. the

Washington. Oct. 15-INS-
Official Washington was pro-
foundly dismayed today by
Moscow reports that the Soviet
government intends to inject
the second front issue in the
approaching conference Of Am
erican, British and Soviet for
eign ministers.
1t was the understanding OF
the American government that
the Moscow conference OF for
eign ministers would deal pri-
marily with the political rather
than the military aspects OF
the war and postwar prob
lens.
II was with this understand
ing that Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull agreed TO attend the
conference.
Furthermore, Il was learned
that nothing was said about
raising the second front issue
when the preliminary discus
sions concerning the agenda OF
the conference were being held.
Thus, II was with considera-
BILE surprise that official
Washington read the news re-
ports of an editorial which
has appeared in the Soviet
newspaper Pravda almost on
the eve OF the opening of the
MOSCOW conference.
