IRundsiedt, kesseIring
Due for Trial as War
Criminals After Nazis
py the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NUREMBERG, Oct. 26.-German
Field Marshals Karl Rudolf Gerd
Won Rundstedt and Albert Kessel-
ring will 60 on trial as war criminals
after the Nuremberg trials are con-
cluded, it was learned authoritative
ly today.
Under appendix B Of the war
crimes indictment handed down In
Berlin October 18, trial is manda-
tory for both Won Rundstedt, who
planned the Christmas break
through in the Ardennes last year
and Smiling Albert" Kesselring
whose stubborn defensive tactics
cost thousands Of Allied lives In
Italy.
Appendix B refers to the general
staff and high command of the
German armed forces. 1t specifl-
cally cities all officers who held
German Army, Navy or Air Force
supreme commands between Feb
ruary, 1888, and March, 1945.
The four major powers who drew
the indictment-the United States
Russia, Great Britain and France
maintain that all persons who held
supreme commands assumed q
major responsibility "for the plan
ming, preparation, initiation and
waging OF illegal wars as set forth
In counts one and two of the in
dictment, and for war crimes and
crimes against humanity involved
in the execution of the common
plan or conspiracy set forth In
counts three and four Of the in
dictment."
From the beginning it was a fight
to get any military figures included
on the original list. Justice Robert
H. Jackson's argument that higt,
Nazi military commanders should
be included in the group to face trial
at Nuremberg November 20 was re-
ported to have met opposition from
British, French and, in some cases
American officers.
Had Justice jackson not scored
this point, no members of the Ger
man general stafI except those per-
sonally guilty of specific atrocities
would have been within reach oi
the conspiracy charge. As 1T is
Kesselring, Won Rundstedt and al
others who exercised high command
must eventually face trial.
At present Won Rundstedt is il
Nuremberg, while Kesselring is il
custody at the Army interrogation

George Declares
By tn, Associated Press.

By the ASSoclated Ffess.
Income tax reductions which &C
into effect next January will be the
last until 1947, Chairman George o1
the Senate Finance Committee said
today as he and other conferees goi
together to adjust differences ir
House and Senate versions Of tax
cutting legislation.
Whatever is done in this bill re-
garding individual income taxes I'm.
doubtedly will stick through l946.
Senator George told reporters. ANY
further change that might be made
in the long-range postwar revenue
bill we propose to write next veal
would not be applicable before 1947.
The Senate bill cuts individual in
come taxes 1854, 600 600, all taxes
| Sc, 1888 600 900. In the House bill
81 ,627 900 900 Of the $3.50 900 ,00t
total reduction Is in individuals in
come levies.
Four Controversial Points.
Senator George said only four ma.
jor points are In controversy:
/. Excess profits tax on corpora
tions. The House voted to cut the
rate from 85.5 to so per cent next
year, repeal the levy in 1947. The
Senate voted to repeal the tax next
January /.
2. Individual income taxes. Both
houses agreed to extend to payers OF
the per cent normal tax the more
liberal exemptions allowed surtax
payers. The House voted to cut
each of the graduated surtax rates
by 4 percentage points and to as
sure every taxpayer a minimum 1C
per cent tax reduction.
The Senate chose to trim each
surtax rate.by per cent, then re-
duce the total normal and surtax
by per cent.
The relief is the same In both bills
for persons in the first $4,000 sur
tax brackets. From $4,000 to $40, ,00t
the Senate provided more reliel
than the House. Above $4,000 thu
House cut deeper than the Senate
| Vandenberg Plan Opposed.
8. An amendment by Senator Van
denberg, Republican, of Michigan II
help small corporations by stipulat'
ing that their combined credit ant
exemption against the excess profit!
tax for 1945 shall not be less thar
$25, 900.
T. Excise taxes. The House votet
to return the high wartime rate!
on luxuries and semi-luxuries Il
their 1912 level next July i. TIL,
Senate set no cutoff date on thos,
excises but voted to repeal certain
manufacturers taxes on stoves, elec
trical appliances, sporting goods ant
Photographic apparatus.
Senator George expressed belle
the House will accept the specia
provisions the Senate made for vet
Grams. Taxes on all war years serv
ice income of enlisted men would b
forgiven and officers would be givel
additional time to pay withou
penalty.

Boston, Dec. 31-UP)-The Unit ed States seems to be in the same sort of haze and confusion about finance as we were about interna- t1onal affairs prior to Pearl Har- bor,' the First National Bank of Boston said today in its current New England letter.
 Faced with the tasks of recon- struction, the bank said, I've have no alternative if we are to maintain solvency and integrity as nation but to return to the fundamental principles that have been responsi- ble for our greatness"
 Thrift, hard work, pay-as-you- go, incentives for business enter prise, opportunities to advance in accordance with ability, wages based upon productivity and in- creased production with lower prices are among the foundation stones of what is called the American sys- tem," the bank said.
 It said that since the early 30'S the creation of purchasing power by the Federal Government has been advocated as panacea for the nations economic ills.
 To want the purchasing power theory now, the bank said, is ito play with dynamite and to threat en the well-being of the entire na- tion."
 "It is futile to search for a way out so long as We continue down the wrong road" the bank said.

Nuremberg, Dec. 31-(UP)-Per- siStent rumors circulated today, only to be denied in Nuremberg and Frankfurt, that Martin Bormann, former Nazi party deputy, had been captured in the British occupation zone of Germany.
 The unconfirmed rumors were to the effect that British intelligence officers captured Bormann, and that he was the mysterious messenger mentioned but not identified in a British announcement last night re- garding the discovery of documents relating to Adolf itler's activity just before the fall of Berlin.
 United States Third Army author ities here and other American au- thorities at Frankfurt, capital of the occupation zone, denied that Bor- mann had been captured.
 Despite the official denial, some credence attached to the rumors was enchanced by the fact that a British announcement of the cap- ture of messenger carrying dup llcate set of the Hitler documents was mysteriously uninformative re- garding him.
 The announcement said only that the messenger was captured, giving no, hint as to his identity, and no further information concerning him.
 Bormann disappeared at the time of the Russian capture of Berlin. He evidently was with Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders in the fran tic last hours of resistance there, when the newly discovered docu- ments indicated Hitler was prepar- ing for his suicide. There was some evidence that Bormann was killed while trying to escape in a tank. But he is being tried in absentia along with other Nazi leaders in- dicted for war crimes.

Flood Besieges Cities in Oreqon

Portland, Ore, Dec. 31- (UP) - Oregon's most disastrous flood in 50 years today besieged the States two principal cities, Portland and Salemn after claiming two lives and causing property damage of millions of dollars.
 The floods crest swept into Salem, Oregon,s capital, inundating outlying thousands of acres of rich bottom land and hop fields and washing out processing plants.
 Red Cross workers and Army volunteers evacuated families di- rectly in the path of the swirling waters.
 Forecast of more rain for the flooded valleys added period to the critical flood situation.
