President Vetoes Bill
To Make December 7
National Honor Day
BY the Associated Press.

oS tne ASSOCl6LeQ fIeSS.
President Roosevelt has vetoed q
resolution of Congress which would
have designated December 7 as
armed services honor day. He ex-
planned that he considers the COM
memoration Of Pearl Harbor Day in
any way as "singularly inappro-
pirate"
In message to the Senate today
Mr.. Roosevelt said further that it
would be premature to establish
during the course of the war a day
to commemorate those serving in the
military forces.
Il consider the commemoration of
the day fixed in the measure to be
singularly inappropriate" his mess
age said. December 7, two years
ago, is day that is remembered
in this country as one of infamy on
the part Of treacherous enemy
The day itself requires no reminder
and its anniversary should rather
serve to cause all the people of the
Nation to increase their efforts con-
tributing to the successful prosecu-
ton Of the war.
Furthermore, 1t seems to me pre-
mature to establish at this time a
day to be set aside to honor and
commemorate all who have served
in the armed forces of the United
States during the course of the
present war. I think more suit
able date can be selected for this
purpose and that future events will
ordain the proper date for such a
ton"

New Tax Structure
Urged by Johnston
Ey the Associated Press.


Eric Johnston, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, said today the Ma
tlon's tax structure must be re-
vamped to encourage private in
Vestment and to make State and
local governments financially indie
pendent OF the Federal Treasury.
He appeared before the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Lands, now engaged in a long
range study of a postwar public
works program.
Mr.. Johnston told the committee
State and municipal governments
should line up new sources of in
come and relieve the Federal Treas
ury Of every possible obligation in
connection with the difficult prob
lens of adjusting the country's
economy to peacetime operations.
Among other important meas.
ures," he said, they should blue.
print their own public works now
and should take the necessary steps
now to be in q position to finance
them when materials and labor be-
come available"
He argued that the Federal Gov
ernment should correlate its own
public works expenditures and sug-
gested that Congress might set UP
a suitable agency to give con-
sideration to the combined bene-
fits and costs of proposed Federal
expenditures for public works.

Landlords Told Tenants
May Collect 0vercharues

Property owners who file appli-
cations for rents above those for
comparable housing and charge
such rates face the claims of ten
ants for refunds through court ac-
ton, Robert F. Cogswell, District
rent control administrator, warned
today.
In announcing new rule, Mr.
Cogswell said the automatic de-
termination of a tentative rent by
the filing of an application is
eliminated because it caused con-
fusion in litigation.
Under the revised procedure. the
administrator explained. the land
lord who takes the highest rent he
can get under emergency condi-
tions, regardless of the frozen rate
of comparable housing, must prove
the validity of the rates. If they
are lowered by the administrator,
the landlord faces possible Mu-
nicipal Court action by the tenants
to recover the overcharges.
The new order also requires that
when there is change of owner
ship. the new landlord must file a
statement with the rent office Ger
tifying that he knows what the
rent ceiling and service standards
are for his premises.

Relationship Of Italy
To AMG Is Reported
Nearing Showdown
BY RELMAN MORN,

I
NAPLES, Dec. 1.-The whole issue
of the relationship between Free
Italy and the Allied Military Gov
ernment appeared today to be NOV
ing toward showdown as a result
Iof a second unauthorized political
meeting called by four of the seven
Italian political parties.
Public meetings of political
nature require previous authoriza-
ton by AMG under the terms of the
original proclamation laid down
when the Allied armies first entered
the country.
Last Sunday, what had previously
been advertised as a public testi-
monial to the Italian philosopher
Benedetto Groce was called at the
University of Naples. Instead, it
turned out to be the occasion for
further campaigning against King
Victor Emmanuel and in favor of
the ablishment of either
regency or republic. No author
ization for the meeting was re-
quested
Second Warning Given.
Party leaders were summoned by
AMG and given a second and more
strongly worded warning than one
they received last November 4, when
a similar situation arose.
The incident. while serious enough
In itself, has even more serious i'm
plications. 1t underlines the change
In the attitude of the Italians which
has taken place recently toward the
Allied military and civil authorities
After the Italian declaration OF
war on Germany, the country's
status changed from that of an
occupied country to one of CO.
belligerency.
A good deal of conflict and con-
fusion has arisen since British and
American military commanders to-
gether with AMG still constitute the
central administrative authority for
every action or event that bears on
the active conduct of the war.
Italians Claim Naples Victory.
Italian officials, however, have
been appointed without reference to
AMG, and Allied orders are protest.
ed or disobeyed
The Italians now claim that they
and not the United States 5th Army
actually drove the Germans from
Naples. A great many take the at
tltude that the war is now over.
Political agitation continued, mean
while, with the Italian government s
announced pledge to purge the ad-
ministration of Fascist officials de-
scribed by the leaders of some po-
litical parties here as another at

and confidence in a jerry built re-
gime"
These leaders reiterated that the

Walker Broadcasts.
While the Kentucky returns were
coming over the wire last night,
Postmaster General Walker, chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, was delivering a radio
address in which he warned the
Republicans that next year they
would be up against national per-
sonalities and national issues in the
presidential race. He made no men,
tion of or reference to Mr.. Roose-
welt in this statement. The impli-
cation was, however, that the Re-
publicans would find 1t a different
affair when they face the Com
mander in Chief" in a national elec-
ton.
Some Of the leaders OF the oppo-
sition." Mr.. Walker said, have been
gazing into the crystal ball; they
see portents and tides and trends.
Let me remind them that in 1914
they will not deal with local prob
lens and local personalities but
with national issues-the social and
economic welfare of our people, the
winning Of the war and the winning
of the peace"
In the concluding paragraphs Of
his address, Mr.. Walker referred to
the need of unity and loyalty to
our Commander in Chief" There
is no doubt that, If the President
runs again, this will be the slogan
OF the Democratic campaign.
The Democratic leaders have en-
deavored to explain away their
party defeats in the elections of
this year as due to factional trou-
bles and lack Of interest by the
voters. The Republican victories,
however, have been too uniform not
to have some meaning.
Spangler Optimistic.

national chairman, hailed Mr.. Car
rier's victory as magnificent"

that whatever the Presidents in

nests, after landing by plane on its

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz with
Japans ability to transform the
hundreds of Pacific islands the Nip
ponese now hold into death dealing
fortresses.
Il have learned more than I ever
knew before of what the Japs can
do" commented the commander in
chief of the Pacific Fleet after a
visit November AZ to the Gilbert
Island stronghold where marines OF
the I'd Division, at heavy cost, vir-
tually wiped out the 1000 defenders
only a few days before. Admiral
Nimitz returned yesterday from
that inspection.
When he walked over -Tarawa' s
battle-ground, bodies of both Amer
leans and japanese still could be
seen.
At one point, Maj. Gen. Julian C.
Smith, commander of the I'd Ma
rine Division, paused amid the
wreckage to say, Admiral, this area
the other day was covered with our
dead-every yard"
After the inspection, Admiral
Nimitz said the American people
should be impressed with the fact
"the Japs haven't lost the will to
fight" that their army has barely
been touched, they're we'll trained
and full of fight"
But he added firmly there would
be no rest. now that Tarawa has
been won: that its field would greatly
aid in the mounting air war against
the Marshalls to the north and I'VE
shall continue constant pressure on
the Japs."
Admiral Nimitz said the prelim-
mary shelling of the Gilberts by
warships, including some the Japa-
Aese claimed they had sunk at Pearl
Harbor. did not knock out all the
defenses, but these bombardments,
together with others by planes, did
mean the difference between sue

Senate Group 10 Hear
Labor Leaders Argue
For Subsidy on Food
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Organized labor leaders pitted
themselves against agriculture
on the food subsidy issue today
by urging Congress to sustain
the administration in its battle
with the farm block.
Underscoring a widening labor
agriculture rift was an assertion bv
Edward O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
that subsidies were adopted by the
administration to "appease the un-
justifiable demands of labor leaders"
for wage increases.
Mr.. O'Neal argued in statement
to the Senate Banking Committee
yesterday that Government pay
ments gave industrial workers an
economic advantage at the expense
Of the farmer. Labors reply was
scheduled to be presented today by
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor and
officials of the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations.
In advance of the hearing, asso-
ciates of Mr. Green said they ex-
pected he would appeal to Congress
to broaden the subsidy program
rather than abolish it, as the House
has voted to do.
While administration leaders were
counting heavily on labors weight
to make itself felt before the Senate
reaches a vote on the House hill.
probably late next week, talk of
possible compromise veered to A
plan under which Congress would
decide-rather than price control
officials-the food items on which
subsidies would be paid in the fu-
| ture
Albert S. Goss, master of the Ma
tlonal Grange, told the committee
yesterday that Congress ought to
open the way for Increased produc-
ton" on farms by letting prices
rise.
Food will hold down pricesnot
law" he said.
Mr.. Goss, countering administra-
ton arguments for the $500 900 .O00-
a-year subsidy program, contended
that the way to take off imitation
pressure is to let farm prices keep
pace with demand and siphon of
excess cash through taxes.
