Nazis Claim Seizure
Of ; More Islands
In Aegean Sea
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The occu-
patton of three more small
islands in the Aegean - Ikaria
LipsoS and PatmoS-was claimed
by the Germans today as sequel
to the loss by the British of Leros
in the stepping-stone battle of
the Eastern Mediterranean.
The Berlin communique said Ika-
ria, small Greek island west of Sa-
mos and north Of the italian Dodec-
anese group, was garrisoned by
Italians and that light German
naval forces took 240 prisoners and
seized a quantity of arms.
An undiScloSed number Of pris-
oners also were seized in Lipsos and
Patmos, small rocky isles north of
Leros in the Dodecanese. The broad
cast said these also were garrisoned
by Italians.
Allied announcements never pre-
viously had claimed the occupation
of these islands, although German
broadcasts had mentioned German
attacks on Ikaria.
Meanwhile. the Germans were re-
ported pressing fresh aerial attacks
on Samos, only island in the Aegean
which the Allies are officially re-
ported to be holding. Castelrosso,
easternmost of the Dodecanese, is
believed still in the hands of the
British, however.
The German radio today said the
British Leros garrison had with
drawn to Samos, although previous
German official announcements de-
clared 5000 British and 5000 Ital-
ian troops had been captured on
Leros. The British have announced
simply that resistance on Leros had
ceased.
Ikaria, Is miles long and miles
wide, is one of the largest islands in
the area, but it lacks strategic i'm
portance 1t is famous in Greek
as the place near where
Icarus fell after attempting fight
with wings fastened by wax.

Summers Says States Are Now
'Vussu|s' of Us. Government

build a Federal organization to
function as general governmental
agency of all the people. BY the
very nature of that sort of govern
ment it is inevitable that there shall
be extravaganza, wastefulness and
tyranny. 1t is inevitable that there
shall be more and more government
by directives, issued by appointed,
not elected, personnel, working with
out supervision. We have all but
reduced the States to governmental
vassals."
Declaring that the United States
was in the initial stages of another
great battle between concentrated
power and democratic government
Representative Summers said it was
time for the States to "reassert
themselves and re-establish theil
sovereignty as responsible agents o.

|Vandenberg 10 Ask
Third Postponement
Of Security Tax Rise
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

| senator VdnQenDerg, Repub-
lican, Of Michigan decided today
to move for another one-year
postponement of the increase in
social security payroll taxes from
to 2 per cent each on employer
and employe, scheduled to take
effect January /.
Saying that I'VE are not entitled
to use social security taxes to
finance any part of the war" the
Michigan Senator announced he
would offer the necessary amend
ment to the $2.143, 900 900 general
tax bill when it comes from the
House.
At recent hearings the Social
Security Board opposed freezing the
tax for another year, contending
the expected drain on the fund in
the postwar period makes 1t de-
sirable to build up the fund in the
present period Of heavy employ
ment.
If Senator Vandenberg' proposal
Is approved by Congress, it would
be the third time the Michigan
Senator has halted the increase, on
the ground that the reserve already
accumulated is more than adequate
to meet anticipated old-age retire
ment benefits during the next five
years.
There may be reasons unrelated
to old-age benefits which recon-
mend the 100 per cent payroll tax
increase in January-such as flank
movement against inflationary
trends" Senator Vandenberg said
But 1 am unable to find any rea-
son, related to the maintenance
of adequate reserves for existing
old-age benefits, for doubling these
payroll taxes on workers and en-
ployers next January; and, no mat
ter how important other purposes
may be, I shall always be unwilling
to use social security taxes for any
thing but social security benefits
We are not entitled to use social
security taxes to finance any part
of the war"
In the fiscal year ended July l
the present combined rate of 2 per
cent, paid equally by employer and
employe, brought in 81 100000 900
while outgoing benefits were only
$l49 100000. plus s27,00OOO0 of ad-
ministrative expense, the Michigan
Senator pointed out.
That left 1854 100000 to go
into the reserve, bringing it up to
81 300, ,000,O
Senator Vandenberg said that "it
should be clearly understood that
this question (the rate increase) has
nothing to do with the expansion of
social security benefits or coverage.
There is decided need for reasonable
action in both directions. Congress
will meet this issue later. We are
concerned at the moment solely with
the problem of financing existing
benefits and coverage. New rates
will, OF course, have to be arranged
to meet new obligations. But I
cannot escape the conviction that
present rates are adequate for pres
ent obligations for one more year"

Domestic Postwar
Planning Unit Urged
By Gov. 0'Conor
By the Associated Press.

~ eiie hSooSidtcu fTeSS.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Asserting
that the American people have not
been clearly advised by Government
leaders of the danger of postwar un-
employment and industrial break
downs, Gov. O'Conor of Maryland
told representatives of most of the
48 States today that Washington
should establish one strong central
postwar agency"
Addressing members of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Governors
Conference and of the Council of
State Governments, Gov O'Conor
called for such an agency which
would have power to handle postwar
planning from the Federal Govern
ment angle in its entirety, without
any overlapping authorities -" and
would be focal point around which
national planning could rally"
In the keynote speech of the
three-day meeting Of the executive
conference, which nine Governors
are attending, Maryland's chief
executive declared that for months
after this Second World War began
there was grave concern among
those in official circles over the fact
that our people apparently were not
concerned enough with its tragic
potentialities. 1t was felt that Amer
leans generally had taken refuge in
a false security.
1T would seem," Gov, O'Conor
continued, that our people are
passing through a similar phase now
with regard to postwar planning.
Federal officials have been talk
Ing about the problem in Washing
ton and every civic and industrial
group of the country has shown
greater or lesser degree of interest
in the matter.
However, I fear that, with all
the talk that has been done about
providing against an unemployment
catastrophe after the war, much
more, by way of definite, tangible
and workable programs must be
projected with positive financial
provisions for their consumma ton.
One absolutely vital requisite is
that there be some Capitalization of
planning effort Gov. O'Conor

EIIicott Warns Hunters
AGAINST Rabbit Fever

Montgomery County hunters were
warned today by DR.. V. L. Ellicott
county health officer, to use care in
handling RABBITS to avoid contract
ing tularemia, a disease common to
wild hares.
Tularemia, or rabbit fever, may be
transmitted to humans who handle
skin or cut up the meat of infected
animals, Dr. Ellicott said. Persons
should not handle rabbit carcasses
with bare hands, he said.
Symptoms of the disease in hu-
mans, he said. are chills, backache
prostration and high fever. The
disease may develop about three
days after contact with an infected
animal.

Senate Group 10 5ii
Prices Paid by State
Systems for Liquor ]

One of the questions the Senate
Liquor Investigating Committee will
go into is whether State monopoly
systems of retail distribution get
their alcoholic beverages cheaper
than dealers in States having the
private license system, Chairman
Van Nuys, Democrat. of Indiana
said today. He said he had heard
q complaint to that effect.
'It may be the State monopoly
system is the solution to this prob
lem. don't know" the chairman
added.
After a long executive session
yesterday afternoon, the committee
postponed appointment of a staff
of Investigators until Monday. Sen
|ator Van Nuys said the committee
will spend the intervening time
studying the background and quail
|ifications of the applicants under
consideration.
Many Ramifications.
Senator Van Nuys said he has
already gone far enough into the
subject of liquor supply and distri-
button to say that 1t has many
ramifications, which will be inquired
into.
Pedicting that some legislation is
likely to be proposed, the Senator
said the inquiry will be futile unless
I'VE arrive at conclusions as to how
the present situation can be pre-
vented in future" Asked what
direction the legislation might take,
he said the committee is going into
the sale of warehouse receipts for
liquor with a fine-tooth comb"
There is no doubt in my mind
that some of the bootlegging Of
popular brands is through that ve-
hicle, but who is to blame, I don't
know" Senator Van Nuys continued.
He revealed that numerous small
complaints involving local condi-
tions throughout the country are
coming in, but these will be turned
over to OPA, the Department OF
Justice or other Government agen-
cies, explaining that the committee
will confine itself to the larger
ASPECTS of the liquor business.
Beer Not Yet in Picture.
Thus far, he said, beer has not
entered the investigation, but the
wine business will be covered by the
inquiry he said, to find out to what
extent tie-in sales have entered the
present picture.
Expressing the belief that much
of the data the committee will need
already is available in Government
departments here, Senator Van Nuys
said he will spend today visiting
various Federal agencies to see If
they will lend the committee the
time Of some of their key men to
get the investigation started.
If public hearings do not start for
two weeks it will not mean the
committee is idle, Senator Van Nuys
said, explaining that he wants the
committee to be thoroughly familiar
with the situation before witnesses
are called.

b the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, Nov 19-Japanese
are driving south
ward in China's central rice bowl"
area, but along the SalWeen River
in the Burma border region the
Chinese have scored strategic sue
cesses, an army spokesman declared
today.
Maj. Gen. c. c. Theng told press
conference that Japanese forces op-
Grating in the pocket between the
Yangtze River and Tungting Lake
had been increased from 10000 to
10000 and that this new power Mad
enabled them to cross the Ii River
in considerable strength.
Loss of Two Centers Confirmed.
He confirmed the loss of Linsien
and Shinsien, important Chinese
communications centers.
A westward thrust of the Japanese
through the hills had been stoppd
after it had reached Yuyangktang,
40 miles southwest Of Ichang, he
said, and these columns then joined
in the drive south to the Ii River.
This drive appeared directed toward
Changten, another communications
center 100 miles southwest of Shasi,
Yangtze River port.
In Western Yunnan Province Gen.
Theng said the Chinese had re-
captured all ferry crossings in a
40-mile section of the Salween River
north OF the Burma road and again
were able to contact forces operat-
ing behind the enemyis lines.
Reconnaissance Force Repulsed.
In addition, he said, the Chinese
had repulsed japanese recon-
naissance force of 1000 men that
had crossed the Salween 80 miles
south of the Burma road base at
Lungling.
Fighters of the 14th Army Air
Force were active yesterday in sup
port of Chinese troops on the Sal
Ween River front, a communique
from 1t. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwells
headquarters announced today.
At the same time fighter bombers
swept into Burma to attack the
Japanese airdrome and barracks at
Kengtung, the communique said.
The missions were completed with
out loss.

Nelson Cites Shortage
At Mills in Renewing
Plea for Paper

A new and urgent plea for the
collection Of waste paper came to-
day from Donald M. Nelson, chair
man Of the War Production Board
who declared that some boxboard
mills are working far below capacity
and some have been forced to shut
down because waste paper is lacking
to keep operating.
Citing the use of the waste paper
in the manufacture of containers
to ship food, medicines and NUM-
tions to the armed forces, Mr.. Mel
son aided that waste paper also goes
directly into the manufacture OF
munitions and military equipment.
Among the articles made from waste
paper, he pointed out, are bomb
bands, wing tips. parachute flares,
shell protectors, medical kit covers,
elel tank Innings, blood plasms COW
ers, ammunition chests and Blasting
powder kegs.
Mr.. Nelson urged especially that
boxes and wrappings IN which
Christmas presents are packed be
saved and turned into the local
salvage drive.
He asked that waste paper be Civ
en- to some collecting agency as
speedily as possible to avert slow
downs at the mills.
