U. s. Remoins Lone Symbol |OfDemocrocy
By LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff CorrespOndent

OAtCu INSo Obdu NVkkCCRVAuCut
 Washington, July 27-(UP)-So- cialism's triumph in Great Britain left the United States alone today among the major powers as purely capitalist Democracy.
 One effect here of British Labor's political victory is expected to be tremendous additional enthusiasm within ranks of American labor for direct political action.
 New Third Party
 That might involve break away from the old line parties, establish ment of new labor party through out the country and the entry of candidates for local and national office in its name.
 Observers also look for some abrupt changes in British foreign policy now that control has shifted from old school tie Conservatives to Labor leaders. Typical of what may be expected is a new British attitude against the Spanish gov- ernnient of Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
 Harold L. Laski, chairman of the British Labor party and a Socialist intellectual of international reputa- ton, foreshadowed what is to come there in a statement last night:
 At long last," said Laski, i've are going to be in 8 position to do full justice to our Spanish comrades" Left Wing Elements British Laborites, the Russians and left wing clements throughout the world, including this country, long have been denouncing what they termed Anglo-American ap- basement of Franco Spain. If the British break relations with Fran co.'s government, it will be up to the administration of President Truman to determine whether to stand alone among the major powers in recog- nizing the Madrid Fascists.
 Observers though Clement Attlee's substitution for Churchill in the current-and any future-Big Three Conference would ease a situation

Limited Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington, July 27 - UP)-Japan rejected the American British Chinese surrender ultimatum today despite the clear warning that she now faces prompt and utter destruction" by the mighty Allied land, sea and air forces assembled in the Pacific.
 The Japanese stand was announced by the govern ment-controlled Domei News Agency n a dispatch saying that Japan would ignore the Allied ultimatum issued yes terday in Potsdam and would light on "to the bitter end"
 Domei said the Japanese cabinet held a special meet ing this afternoon (Tokyo Time) to hear a report from Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo on the terms on which the Allies would agree to halt hostilities.
 The decision to take no ac- tion on the ultimatum ap- parently was made at that meeting.
 Foredoomed To Destruction
 By its stand, the Japahese gcv- ernnlent itself rejected the last op- portunity to halt the war without. ending Japan's national existence end without bringing untold misery And suffering to her people.
 President Truman, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek made clear yesterday what Uapan would receive if she rejected their final terms for ending the war.
 Pointing out that swarms of AL He'd aircraft and hundreds of thou sands of new troops were moving into the Pacific from the European theater, the three leaders said:
 The might that now convergeS upon Japan is immeasurably great CT than that which, when applied to the resisting Nazis, necessarily laid

Mrs. Bergin Launches
 5. 5. Victory

A sizeable group of waterburians was at the Baltimore docks yester- day afternoon when Mrs. Rose Bergin, local war worker and moth CT of three servicemen, christened the nations newest troop-carrier ship, the S.S. Waterbury Victory.
 Servicemen of the Waterbury area, who are serving at nearby stations, were in the cheering mob who saw the huge vessel move gracefully from the ways into the Patasco river.
 Champagne Christening
 Mrs. Bergin, selected from a large group of candidates to christen the ship, carried a bouquet of Amer ican beauty roses. Dressed in a sheer, black dress with a square neckline and wearing 8 pompa- dour hat and an orchid corsage, the honored Waterbury mother held the attention of the huge crowd for many minutes as the bottle of champagne was prepared for the cracking which preceded the official send-off of the vessel.
 The launching took place at 3:46 p. m. 'I hope all her voyages are safe ones," was Mrs. Bergin's soft spoken wish, as the giant vessel moved out.
 Mayor Participates
 Mayor John s. Monagan pushed the button which sent the S.S. Wa terbury into the river. The 10.800- ton product of the Bethlehem Fair field yard was then taken in by two tugs to 8 fitting pier where mechanical and electrical equip

Tanks Warn Japan
 or Impending Doom
BY WILLIAM TYRE

United Press War Correspondent Guam, Saturday, July 28-(UP)- Americas 20th Air Force, putting teeth into the Potsdam ultimatum, today unprecendently told the Jap anese the names of the next Il Nip ponese cities which will be burned out by superfortress raids.
 As three more of Japanss tlimSy war centers still were flaming from the last B-29 incendiary raid, six superforts cruised over the Il tar gets-to-be at midnight, dropping 60,- GOO leaflets warning civilians to evacuate or be burned out.
 Unprecedented
 Thus, the 20th Air Force, for the first time in any war naming its targets in advance, laid down the most direct challenge possible to the Japanese to fight, quit, or else.
 Mai. Gen. Curtis E. Lemay, con- mander of the 10th, declared:
 The II cities, which extend from Kyushu to Hokkaido, are:
 Honshu - Tchinomiya, Tsu, UJly- amada, Nagaoka, Nishinomiya, Aomori. Ogaki, and Koriyama.
 KyuShu - Kurume.
 Shikoku - Uwajima.
 Hokkaido - Hokadate.
 All-Out Raids
 At least four of the cities warned will be subjected to the next an-out incendiary bombing within few days, Lemay said, with 450 to 600 Superforts carrying about $500 tons of fire bombs to the targets.
 They can't do anything about it" the 20th Air Force chief who is re- tiring to become chief of staff to General Carl Spaatz in the strategic air command said. We tell them, then do it."
 Lemay said the Japanese now are

Federal Tox Reduction

Washington, July N.-UP)- Chairman Walter F. George, D.. Ga. of the Senate finance com- mittee forecast today complete revision of the federal tax laws which will result in reducing fed eral tax collections by s18,000. .000,- 900 to 27.000 ,000, 900 during the first year after Japan's defeat.
 Public Opinion k
 He coupled his tax cut estimates with a warning that deficit financ- ing of the federal government must stop unless the nation wants to run the risk of weakening public faith in the dollar.
 George also told a news confer ence it was highly important" that Congress have @ tax program s'either enacted or ready to lay down for enactment" as soon as the Japanese war ends.
 "It is highly important" he said, sbecause all taxpayers must know As soon as possible what their post war tax burden is going to be so that they can plan their lives and their businesses properly"
 New Budget
 George based his tax cut esti- mates on his guess that the first postwar years ''irreducible mimi mum" budget would total between e14, 1000, 900, 900 and $16,000, ,O00. 900. The actual budget however. he said, might run from $22,000, ,000,0 to e25 5,000. 100000. Most of the post war budgets, he asserted, should be raised by taxes.
 Hence, the aggregate tax cut in all revenue producing fields would be tte difference the present tax re- turns of $4s. 900, 900. 900 and approxi- mately the total of the first-year budget.

Leon Blum, Accuses
 Petain or Treason
By HERBERT c. KING

United Press Corresp0ndent)
 Paris, July 27--(UP) Former Premier Leon Blum charged today that Marshal Henri Philippe Petain destroyed Frances Republican insti- tutions by force and substituted 6 "despotic power the like of which never was seen in the Orient"
 "That was treason" Blum, leader of the pre-war Popular Front, shouted at the peak of his denun- citation of Petain. Occasionally Blum sobbed so heavily that it vas hard for him to speak.
 Hours Testimony
 Blum testified for almost an hour. Petain, listless and dropping after a fitful night, listened impassively, one leg crossed over the other, his face bleak as q mask.
 Blum worked laboriously through Q narrative of the scheming and turmoil of the governments flight from Paris in 1D40 and eventual es- tablishment at Vlchy.
