Chungking, Nov. 1-(UP)-Officia1 dispatches said today that anothes Chinese Nationalist army has ar. rived in American ships in North China, presumably to reinforce Gov- ernment troops massing for an at. tack on the Communist-defended Manchurian border.
 China's undeclared civil war al- ready had reached the Manchurtan frontier. Chinese Communist out- posts in the shadow of the great wall temporarily halted government forces Tuesday night in the first frontier skirmish.
 The Communists appeared deter- mined to prevent Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's forces from en- tering Manchuria despite Chungking reports that the Soviet commander for Manchuria, Marshal A. M. Vas- ilevsky, had agreed to turn over the territory to Nationalist forces.
 Withdraw Begins Saturday M
 The newspaper Hsin Min Pao said the Red Army would begin with- drawing from Manchurta Saturday and complete the operation Dec. 8.
 Chinese Communists, who coop. erated with the Red Army in clear ins the Manchurian frontier area, already have taken over the border defenses in large strength, however.
 A Chinese communique, meantime, revealed that Chinese forces have completed the disarmament of Jap. anese troops north of the 18th par~ allel in French Indo- China--the area assigned to the Chinese tefza- porarily-and the disarmament of those in the Canton area of China.
 Chiang's official Central Daily News said the Chinese 18th Army arrived Monday aboard American ships at Tangtu. the port outside Tientsin, c--oute to Manchuri& from Canton. Government troops who already have reached the bor- der landed previously at Chinwang- tao. 130 miles north of Tientsin. Thousands Massing
 Richard ". Johnston, veteran United Press Pacific war corres- pondent, reported from the frontier that thousands of 0eneralissin10 Chiang Kai-Shek's government troops were massing for an all-cut assault on the frontier defenses following the first rebuff. (Continued on Page 13)

 All Researches

Washington, Nov. 1-CUP)-Ber- nard Baruch, elder statesman and adviser of presidents, warned his countrymen today that Germany and Japan will strive increasingly through science, technology, and engineering to devise some means for waging a third world war"
 He declared that this country must remain constantly prepared through universal military training and permanent scientific research to stop aggression before 1t gets started.
 At no future time," he told a joint Senate Commerce and Milf tary Affairs subcommittee, must potential aggressors be tempted to gamble on a blitzkrieg that would seek to overwhelm us with new or old weapons of destruction before the mobilization of our manpower, industry, agriculture and science could be made complete and ef- fective"
 UNO Needs Might
 Without continuing preparedness on the part of the United States, he said, "The United Nations Or ganization will lack the strength to enforce the peace"
 Baruch gave the committee de- tailed program for federally spon- sored scientific research which, he said, would be "only piece of what is needed" It will, he asserted, be no substitute flor universal train- ing for war"
 "The longtime control of the sci- entific resources of Germany and Japan" he said, must continue for many years after the last occupa- ton troops leave those lands-until there has been a spiritual rebirth of those peoples"
 Proposes Foundation
 He proposed a science foundation, a science cabinet" which, among it's other functions, would supply "the expert counsel" for keeping watch on German and Japanese science.

Senate Gets ax Cut Bill
 AnorovoI Seen
 In Short Time

Washington, Nov. 1.-(UP) The Senate planned to put final legis- lative approval today on the S5 ,920,- 100000 tax cut bill.
 President Truman was expected to sign it into law within few days so that the tax cuts can become effective Jan. 1. It will be the first tax cut in 16 years.
 The bill, with savings for both individuals and corporations, was rushed through to ease the financial burden of reconversion.
 Here briefly. are the principal pro- visions of the bill:
 INDIVIDUALS-About 12000 900 low-paid workers among present taxpayers will be let of the rolls entirely. All others will get at least little reduction. The total cut for individuals is estimated at $2,644,- 00C 900.
 CORPORATTONS-Will benefit by repeal of the excess profits tax ef- fective Dec. 31 and slight reduc- tio. in normal and surtax rates for 1946. Total cut is estimated at $3,- 136, ,000 900.
 MOTORISTS-The $5-a-year au- tomobile use tax is repealed effec- tive June 30, 1o46, expiration date for those now on windshields. This is estimated to save motorists $l40,- COG, 900 next July.
 VETERANS S-Exempts service pay of enlisted personnel from any tax during the war years. Commissioned officers get three years to pay an back taxes on their service pay.
 SOCIAL SECURITY-The presen rate of one per cent each on efn' ployer and employe is frozen for arl- other year. Otherwise 1t would have advanced to two and one half per cent on each Jan. l.

right course of action, 53.5 per cent said 1t was, while 18.3 per cent thought the bomb either shouldn't have been used at all or' should have been dropped first in an iso- lated place.
 More than p per cent $aid the Allies should have used many more' before giving the Japanese a chance to surrender. Of those ad- vocating the more violent course, Fortune noted, the majoray were either poor or from the sduthwest ern states. But, the magazine said, Negroes differed radically from the poor; their choices followed pat tern similar to that of the well-to- do.'
 No Plans For Blowing Income
 From another poll released to- day, fortune. concluded that the American people have been saving one quarter of their income for the last two years and have no in- tention of blowing It in | postwar spending spree.
