World War II veteran, native of
Mitchell, S. OAK, carried on an in
formal campaign to nominate him
for VFW junior vice commander, a
post which in recent years has led
to virtually automatic succession to
the national commandership.
In the closing session of the 46th
National Encampment, however, Ma
than Golden, Washington delegate

By Secrecy

Secretary of State Byrnes' policy
of Official secrecy on the American
position during the London meeting
OF the Big Five Council of Foreign
Ministers threatened for time yes
terday to extend even to routine
details of his return to Washington.
Newspaper reporters assigned to
the State Department attempted all
day to find out when Mr.. Byrnes was
due to arrive at the National Air
port. The answers variouSly set his
arrival yesterday morning, last
night or even today. Additional
confusion developed when it was
reported that James A. Farley am
nounced in New York Mr.. Byrnes
had been delayed by engine trouble
and would not be able to attend a
dinner in New York. Department
press officers could not give any an
swers to questions about this report

supposed to have ended, N6w the
war was over. Then they were told

pm. He arrived little earlier than

lief more generally among both in
dividuals and corporations. The
Treasury had proposed:
Outright repeal of the per cent
normal tax on individuals, complete
repeal of the excess profits levy
on business, and the dropping of
wartime excise rates next July.
' The committee went along with
the Treasury in relieving the 12,-I
100000 low-income families of all
income tax, but gave other indi-
viduals more substantial relief by
scaling down the surtax rates. On
the corporation side, the bill gives
some relief to many corporations
that would not have benefited from
outright repeal of the excess profits
levy.
Here is how the $500, 900 900 over

900; dropping the excise levies in
July, $3.50, 0,000, 900; repeating the au-
tomobile SIS stamp tax, $l35 ,000, 900.
A floor tax adjustment on stocks of
goods, in connection with the ex-
else cuts, amounts to $160, ,000, 900.

nine months hence:

Occasional Excesses Magnified.
One distributed in the Munich
area read:
''It took five years to overcome the
German soldier. 1t takes only five
minutes to overcome the German

Occasional excesses OF Allied
troops are garbled and magnified in
an interprovince rumor network
which attempts to smear all occupa-
ton forces.
The Bremen disturbances fur
nished several clues to the explosive
situation building up in Western
Germany.
About 20 youths aged from 16 to
% were Jailed September l in the
American enclaye just as they were
ready, they confessed, to set out on
a ''putsch" against Polish displaced
persons in the Hanover area and
continue to Bavaria ito join our
brothers in the underground.
Most of those arrested had seen at
least a brief service in the Volksturm
(people's army or militia) or in the
regular army. They had been living
a tramplike existence in railroad
yards, stealing extra ration books
and forging identification cards.
One-who had enough ration
coupons, for 10. persons-confessed
he was enrolled in the underground
at Hamburg, where a former SIS
elite Guard leader had unit
of 800 young men.
Elsewhere in Western Germany
"pfennig bands" have appeared
They are bracelets for men, with a
coin attached bearing a rudely
scratched swastika. Wearers heal
their pride by thus Haunting their
loyalty to Hitler.
1t is still too early, the investiga-
tors said, to estimate the real extent
of the underground. But they are
impressed by its geographical spread
in country where civilian travel
has been virtually paralyzed for five
months.

shown what line the Russians intenc
to follow in explaining the breakup
to their own people and in at.
tempting to win support abroad.
The basis Of their case is that Mr.
Byrnes and MIR. Bevin were re-
sponsible for terminating the meet
ing. first, by refusing to sign a
number of protocols Incorporating
certain decisions which had been
reached by the council, and sec
ondly, by refusing to discuss the
remaining questions on the follow
ing day.
mo one will be able to understand
why this was impossible to do even
II some questions were left without
agreement, 1t states.
.At an international conference
one government cannot dictate to
another and 1t is time that this was
Understood" 1t continues. "The Sc
rious nature of what happened in
London cannot be underestimated.
II the British and American repre-
sentatiyes continue to insist upon
their point of view 1t will shake
the bases Of cooperation between
the three powers"
Mr.. Byrnes answered this argu-
ment in a press conference before
he left for home.
The Americans and British re-
fused to sign the protocols as sug-
gested by Foreign Comissar v. M.
Molotov and to continue discussions
another day only after Mr.. Molotov
told them frankly that he would be
unable to accept Mr.. Byrnes' pro-
posal for peace conference with
out consulting Premier Stain per-
sonally.
The American position was that
Mr.. Molotov was asking the Ameri-
can delegation 10 agree to the Rus
sian proposal in return for nothing
but promise to discuss our pro-
posal, plus an assurance that this
discussion would not result In any
thing.
Signing of the protocols, without
previous assurance that France and
China were to share fully in peace
treaty discussions at a later date
would have amounted in American
eyes to a complete capitulation to
Mr.. Molotov's overbearing tactics.

EX-PRISONERS, REACHING U. 5. MONDAY

Thompson explained that the
Russians were busy advancing and
the rescued men made their way TO
the rear on their own.
AS he reached the point where
he felt that ne couldn't go another
foot. a Polish girl found him and
took him to her home. For six days
she nursed him and cared for his
infected leg. Then he started on
again. Thompson said:
''She saved my life and I'm 60
ing back to Poland some day and
get her."
There was one private who eX-
perienced a German court-martial

honor.
A prisoner from February l9l3,
until he was liberated in January

with the 46th Division in August
1871. He served in Iceland, Eng
land and Ireland before going into
action in France where he was
captured last October.
Official word that he would ar
rive home soon came in a telegram
from the War Department yeSter-
day morning. Yesterday afternoon
he phoned his parents from Boston
to say that he is in fine health
and will be home in about a week
for a short furlOugh.
