Postal Rate Revision Bill
Is on Way 10 President
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Legislation revising the postal fees
for insured and cod. mail, special
delivery service and money orders
was passed by the Senate yesterday
and sent to the President.
The 1943 tax bill boosted many
such service fees and the Post Of
flee Department expressed fear that
the increases would cause a drop in
business volume and a net loss in
revenue.
The new legislation reduces the
insured mail charge from 10 cents
to 3 cents on the 1-cent toss
bracket, which represents 81 per
cent of the business. In the cod.
division the low bracket charge is
reduced from "a to Is cents.
The 6623 per cent increase in
money order fees provided by the
tax bill would be repealed by the
legislation
The Post Once Department has
been losing money, however. on spe-
cial deliveries and the bill would
boost the charge for such service
from 10 to 13 cents on first-class
matter. and from Is to II cents on
other classes of mail in the under
2-pounds bracket.

Mr.. Byrnes released figures on the

ROME, Sept. 9.-A.' savage
battle Is raging for Rimini and
the gateway to the Po Valley
without substantial changes In
positions and heavy casualties
are being suffered by both the
Germans and the 9Th Army, Gen.
Sir Harold Alexander's head
quarters announced today.
{ Gambling desperately to prevent
q breakthrough that would enable
the Allies to sweep into Northern
Italy and envelop the whole Gothic
Line. Marshal Albert Kesselring
threw his infantry and armored
forces into a series of heavy coun-
terattacks yesterday. They extended
along the Adriatic sector of the
front from the coast to the village
Of Croce, 61a miles inland and 8
miles southwest Of Rimini.
These counterthrusts were beaten
on without loss of ground by the
9Th Army and British troops seized
and held Croce, which was the scene
Of prolonged day and night seesaw
fighting.
Violent rain and thunderstorms
hampered Allied attempts to press
the attack, but the tempo Of the
f1ghting was not reduced.
Along the coast, where the Ca
nadians fought to the banks of the
Marano River. within 4 miles OF
Rimini's outskirts. two days ago, the
Allied command reported only that
patrols were maintaining contact
with the enemy, A heavy curtain of
mortar and artillery fire was being
laid down in the path of the Ca
nadians' advance.
Palazo and the neighboring Hin
ISL, 6 miles inland, was seized by
the British, who beat off determined
tank counterattacks.
The village of Menghio. 1000
yards west Of Croce and the same
distance south Of Hill ISL, also was
retained by the British in the face
Of desperate Nazi lunges to regain
lost ground. Two miles farther in
land the battle ragged in the town
Of Gemmano for the third day with
unabated fury. The Germans still
hold the western half of the town.
Pushing against rear guards
shielding the Nazi withdrawal into
Gothic Line positions in the North
ern Apennines, Allied troops seized
the 3,000-foot Mount Morello, 8
miles north of Florence.
Americans Of the 5th Army sent
patrols north to within slightly
more than a mile of Pistoia before
they were halted by enemy fire.
Other American units penetrated
the eastern outskirts of Montecatini
Terme. tn miles west-southwest of
Pistoia.
On the west coastal sector Amer

Dumbarton Delegate,
Expected 10 Reach
Agreement Shortly

A successful conclusion of the
talks on postwar security at
Dumbarton Oaks, resulting in a
plan that can be recommended
to the American, British and
Russian governments, is expected
within the next few days, an au-
thoritative source said today.
Meanwhile. it was reported that
one technical problem still await
ing settlement is the failure of the
Soviet delegation to agree with the
United States and Great Britain on
whether a nation shall be allowed
to, vote on question involving
itself.
Referred to Moscow.
The Russians are understood to
have referred the matter to Moscow
for reconsideration after Ambassa-
dor Andrei A. Gromyko and his
aides failed to reach an agreement
with the British and American dele
gates here.
There is general agreement among
all three powers that before the
council Of the proposed security or
ganization can take military action
against an aggressor, there must be
unanimous agreement among the
big four" members which are to
hold permanent sests-the United
States, Great Britain, Russia and
China.
However, under such an arrange
ment 1t is obvious that if one of
the big four" were the accused
agreSsor, it could block any action
against itself by use OF its veto. To
circumvent this possibility, the
Anglo-American powers are under
stood to favor a provision that no
nation can vote on a dispute in
volving itself. Russia, according to
reports, has declined thus far to
agree to this provision, and efforts
now are being made to work out
some kind of compromise on it.
