ported Chairman Doughton in urg-
ing the gag rule to bar amendments,
but frankly told the Rules Commit
tee, I'VE are looking to the Senate
to repeal the rest of the excess
profits tax
As the bill stands, it reduces the
excess profits rate from 95 to 60
per cent for 1916 and provides for
complete repeal in 1947. Mr..
Doughton defended this approach
on the ground that it enabled the
House to give some tax reduction
also to several hundred thousand
corporations that do not earn excess
profits.
/, Mr.. Slaughter argued it is more
important to stimulate employment
by repeating the excess profits
tax than to stay within an arbitrary
tax-cutting total of approximately
S.. .000, 100000.
Before the Rules Committee met.
the Republicans on the Ways and
Means Committee filed a separate
report, supporting the tax reduc-
ton bill as it stands, but calling
for curtailment of unnecessary
spending to pave the way for
greater tax relief next year.

Bill 10 Reduce Taxes
Given Right Of Way
In House Tomorrow
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

The House Committee today
gave the $500, 900 900 tax re-
duction bill the right of way on
the House floor tomorrow, with
indications it will pass before
nightfall.
The only semblsnce of fight that
developed today was the argument
advanced in the Rules Committee
by Representative Slaughter, Demo-
crat, of Missouri for outright repeal
instead of mere reduction of the
excess profits tax in 1916 as means
of stimulating employment in pri-
vate industry.
The special rule granted today
will allow four hours of debate and
bar all except committee amend
ments. Mr.. Slaughter did not move
to open up the rule to permit a
vote on excess profits repeal, but
reserved the right to argue for re-
peal in the House tomorrow.

Laval heard the courts verdict
| yesterday in the dungeon beneath
his trial courtroom, his lawyer said.
He then turned back to the writing
of defense of his career.
In addition to the death sentence,
the court condemned Laval to ma
tional indignity, stripping him of
citizenship rights, and ordered his
property confscated.
Will Go to Former Cell.
Police said Laval would be trans
ferred to his former cell in FresneS
Prison, where he will await a final
decision. If Gen. de Gaulle refuses
him a new trial he probably will
be informed only short time be-
| fore the hour fixed for his execu-
| ton.
Executions of others before him
on similar charges always have
taken place in the courtyard of
Montrouge Fort, where Marshal
Philippe Petain was confined for a
time.
If precedents are followed, Laval,
facing the firing squad, will be led
handcuffed into the courtyard,
marched between guards across the
lawn and tied to a post against a
wall He will not be blindfolded
Present at this final ceremony will
be Laval's three attorneys, the prose-
cutor, court doctor and a priest.
The lieutenant in charge of the
12-man execution squad will read
out the court order directing the
execution. He will give orders to
load, aim and fire. Then he will
approach the body and deliver the
coup de grace with revolver.
Manuscript of Defense.
Associated Press Correspondent
Mel Most and New York Post Cor
respondent Peggy Poor, with au-
thorization from defense repre-
sentatives of Laval, today obtained
first public access to the manuscript
of Laval's defense. The remarkable
document, penned by Laval and
never introduced in his trial, evi-
dently was intended for use in any
future trial-even in the event of
his execution.
The document was written by
Laval with his papers spread before
him on the floor of his dungeon
cell.
In the manuscript Laval acknoWl-
edged that DE Gaulle was right"
in his decision to move to London
to continue Frances fight against
the Germans.
The manuscript unfolded a grim
history of prewar diplomacy and
wartime German terror. Laval,
who IA times was a minister and
thrice a premier of France, took up
the charges against him one by one.
To the charge he sought to ne
gotiate a peace during the "phoney
war" before the German 1910 blitz
on France, he said Mussolini fur
nished the initiative in this
through an emissary. Laval said
he offered to undertake a mission
which Premier Edouard Daladier
could later disavow if it failed, but
Daladier rejected the idea. A sec

PARIS, Oct. 10.-Attorneys for
Pierre Laval set machinery in
motion today to seek a new trial
for the former Vichy chief of
government, who was sentenced
to death yesterday after he was
convicted of intelligence with
the enemy and attacking the
security of the State.
Albert Maud, chief defense coun-
sci, announced last night that he
had requested an interview with
Gen. Charles de Gaulle and would
seek to have the verdict set aside
because of "the attitude of the
judge and jury" Earlier Maud had
said Laval had told him he would
not appeal to Gen. de Gaulle for
clemency.

proceedings were the target of con-
siderable press criticism, the French

ond secret emissary arrived from
MuSsolini the day before Italy at
tackled France, but never reached
the government, Laval wrote.
Concerning the charge that he
organized the Montoire meeting be-
tween Hitler and Marshal Petain
and arranged subsequent collabora-
ton, Laval replied the armistice
itself rather than anything he did
brought about collaboration.
To the charge the Germans want
ed him in power when he was re-
stored to Office March /, 1912, Laval
said Reichsmarshal Hermann Goer-
ing wanted the contrary. He said
he first refused to return and then
accepted, because he felt he would
be shield for France.

Strictly speaking the Biemillers
are not new in the community since

moor in June when they went back
to their home in Milwaukee to begin
Mr.. Biemiller's campaign for elec-
ton
With background of newspaper
and radio work in Wisconsin, when
her husband was a member of the
State Legislature, Mrs. Biemiller
became active in the Montgomery
County League of Women Voters
almost as soon as she arrived here
several years ago. She is men,
ber of the official board of the
league and was for time editor of
the Bulletin, news letter that goes
out monthly to the members of the
league Now that she is back
in Bethesda, as the wife of a Con-
gresham, with the added RESPONSE
bilities that go with her husbands S
position, she is keeping up her in
terest in. the work of the league
and is already working with a group
of local women who are organizing
|neighborhood meetings who will
study the Dumbarton Oaks plan
during the coming months.
AS for entertaining-Mrs. Bic
miller has no plans except to con-
tinue the same pleasant, informal
entertaining of old friends that she
has done for a number of years and
has no plans for parties until the
weather and ration points and bet
ter transportation conditions make
party giving little bit easier.
The wife of the newest member
of the Maryland House of Delegates
from the Bethesda district, Mrs Al
bert Walker, is just as busy In local
affairs as Mrs. Biemiller and she
has about the same thought about
parties in wartime. Mrs Walker
gives most of her free time to welfare
work. Being a resident of Wash

is tied up with welfare work in the
