British See August Date For Pow-Wow
BY PHIL AULT

London, May 25-(UP)-Joseph E. Davies, President Truman's special emissary, arrived in London today for conferences with British govern ment leaders that were expected to clear the way for big three meet ing this summr.
 British quarters indicated that President Truman's first three-way conference with Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin prob ably would not be held until August, despite optimistic Washington fore casts that it might occur as early as June.
 Davies, formerly American ambas- sador to Russia, was scheduled to confer with Churchill and British Foreign ecretary Anthony Eden in Connection witE the proposed big three meeting.
 Their discussions were expected to play an important part in fixing the time and place of the meeting of President Truman, Prime Min ister Churchill and Premier Stalln.
 The Times diplomatic correspon- dent said that it was not known under what instructions Davies was coming to London, but the prob- lems facing the Allied leaders are so manifest that the presidents de- sire for a fresh coordinating link with the British and Russians at this critical stage is both under stood and welcomed
 There was little belief here that the three leaders will get together until Britain's general election has

$30o,0o0 TAX
 EXEMPTION0N vETSPROPERTY

Potential property tax ex- emptions of $3O0,000 will be accredited to Waterbury's World War II veterans it has been estimated by city authorities.
 The estimate is based on the potential ownership of property in amount of $1, 900 by each of approximately 10000 veterans. Such prop ertv can consist of automo- piles as well as real-estate.
 A total of eSS5 draftees have lLft Waterbury during this war. local draft officials declare, together with approximately another 2,OO0 local men who are serving as volunteers. The city estimates that about 1O,- 600 of the approximate 12,O0o will eventually each own s1,000 in prop erty holdings.
 At present the city exempts s1,- 666,642 in property from its grand list. The latter now totals S190, ,810,- 009. The exemption figure includes veterans of the last war.
 Not able to be estimated at this time are the disability property ex- emptions for veterans each of whom will be eligible for tax exemptions up to S3,00O according to their dis ability rating.
 The s3OO,OO0 estimate is computed by means of multiplying 5000 by the 10000 veterans with the result multiplied by the 30 mill city tax rate.
 The $1,666, GAP grand list exemp- ton will likely be increased by the addition of the $300000 for this wars veterans, not included in this total figure, and by the disability exemptions up to 5000 each.
 The grand list has been computed, as reported here previously, made up Of S138565 ,082 in real estate and s52,244, 927 in personal property. This does not include exempt property such as churches, county, federal or state holdings. Total exempt real-estate comprising the latter consist of s24 ,265 ,952 in real prop erty and $l2627,528 in personal. The actual grand total on the grand list is s213,117,319 including all properties and their valuation.
 The veterans exemptions have been computed by city tax depart ment officials Humbert Mangini and Raymond Clark. city budget director Arnold E. Furlong and city assessor John Kilduff

Yonks Linked On Mindonoo
BY H. D. QUIGG

Manila, May 25-UP)-The Min danao fighting reached the mop ping-up stage today after two Amer ican forces linked in the heart of the island to split it lengthwise.
 The 31st infantry division driving north and the 10th and American divisions going south joined We'd nesday north of Malaybalay in cen- tral Mindanao, communique from Gen. of the army Douglas MacAr- thurs headquarters said today.
 "The Mindanao campaign has reached the mopping-up stage", the communique said.
 The last remnants of Japanese force which originally totalled around 50,000 had taken to the hills as American troops and Filipino guerrillas extended their hold on the island.
 Most of the remaining enemy troops were centered north of Davao where another linkup took place. This one was between the 24th di- vision, which drove ahead eight miles along the coastal highway, and Filipino force. They met near the head of Davao Gulf.
 American planes pounded other enemy pockets in the hills of central Mindanao and in the northeastern

Browder
 AssoiIed
By LYLE c. WILSON

Washington, May 25-UP)-Kan- sas born Earl Browder, leader of American Communists, is under hot red fire today on charges of having abandoned the revolutionary class war in the United States.
 BroWder was secretary of the American Communist Party until last year. He then proposed that the organization go out of business as such. It was succeeded by the Con- munist Political Association, of which Browder is president.
 Now Browder is aSsailed by his Communist colleague, Jacques Du- clos, F'renchman. Duclos wrote a bitter indictment of Browder in the April issue of the monthly organ of the Communist party in France. He charged:
 l. The working class in the United States was deprived of an Independent political party when the Communist Party became the Communist Political Association.
 ?. Organization of the CPA ac- cepted the possibility of long-term class peace in the United tSates, suppression of the class struggle and establishment of harmony between capital and labor.
 There were other charges. The bastc complaint was that Browder had undertaken to abondon indi- vidual Communist political activity in this country in favor of a general program of maintaining in the post war period the solidarity of the Rus sfan- British United States military coalition established at the first Big Three meeting. That was in Tehran
 Although Duclos finds Browder guilty of bolting the Communist Party line, observers here do not see any evidence that American Com munists will cease to be the extreme left wing of political action in the United States.
 The most astonishing thing about the Communist dispute is that il has become a matter of public rec ord here by Mrowder's action in re- producing Duclos' traicle.
 Yesterdays Daily Worker, o1 which Browder is editor. printed il in full. The text ran several thou. sand words. It was accompanied by a brief statement by Browder stat. ing that there would be full discus sion of the issues raised among American Communists.

Congress May Not Grant
 Powers Asked By Truman
By JOHN L. CUTTER

Washington, May 25-(UP)-Pres- ident Truman wants to reshuffIe the federal government in such way as to centralize responsibility in as few officials as possible.
 That was seen today as the major purpose behind his request to Con- gress yesterday fer authority to re- organize the executive branch.
 Congressional reaction was one of agreement in principle. It appeared doubtful, however, that Congress would grant powers as broad as MT. Truman wanted or as speedily as he would like to have them.
 Congress wanted more details on exactly what the president had ln mind.
 The record of his years as chair man of the Senate's special war ln- vestigating committee indicated that centralization of responsibility and elimination of overlapping func- tens was his primary aim.
 AS chairman of the special com- mittee Investigating flaws and de- lays in the war production pro- gram MT. Truman frequently criti- cized overlapping and duplication in government functions. He blamed that for many of the delays.
 Repeatedly he recommended that authority be centralized in as few officials as possible and that each of them be solely responsible for the job to which he was assigned.
 As early as March II, 1943, he Wrcte in the committees second an- nual report:
 During the coming year attention must continue to be focused on the primary need for clearly defined authority in the administration of cur domestic war program. This authority should be centralized in a few officials-each solely respon- sible for the administration of cer- tain activities"
 There are strong indications that since succeeding to the presidency (C0OtiOued on papa 6)

Gin, WhiskeyAnd Cordials Pour From Spigots July I

ance that more WhlSkey VIII De made, wholesalers are releasing their aged stocks for consumer sale without waiting for the new sup plies to come from the distilleries.
 Estimates of the quantity of liquor that will result from the July holi- day run as high as 200,000,0 900 quarts considered a years normal sup ply in peacetime.
 WIPE Chief J. A. Krug explained that the alcohol situation had eased because of two factors:
 l. Suspension of lend lease ship ments of alcohol to Russia. 2. Reduced use of alcohol in man. ufacture of synthetic rubber as 6 result of increased use of petroleum as basic ingredient. About hal. the total output of alcohol was for merly used for making synthetic rubber.

Washington, May 25.-(UP)- "The drought's over," the liquor in- dustry said today.
 The occasion was the War Pro- duction Boards announcement that they could make spirituous liquors during the month of July. Not only that. The WIPE said the supply of war alcohol indicated the indus try would get other go-aheads from time to time"
 This, an industry spokesman said, means that from now on the in- dustry will try to meet consumer demand.
 Given the nod by the WIPE, dis titled spirits-which will turn up as gin, whiskey and cordials-will start pouring from spigots July l. The July go-ahead probably will have an immediate effect on retail liquor stores. With official assur-
