U. S. OFFER REFUSED
S ome Progress Made
During 20 Days OF
Conferences

LONDON, Monday, Oct. 1.-@-
The five power conference OF
Foreign Ministers worked for an
hour past midnight today and then
announced another session would
be held tonight.
1t appeared the ministers would
wind UP their first meeting to-
night, perhaps without solution
to the conferences biggest prob
lem - procedure for writing the
Balkan peace treaties.
It was learned that the Russians
have refused the latest and most
liberal American compromise, Of
fering to acquiesce to the Soviet
demand that only Russia, the
United States and Britain write
the Balkan pacts, providing as
surances are given there will be
a full-pledged peace parley later.
The Russian objection to the
compromise, and corrollary pro-
posal that all belligerents against
the Nazis meet to talk over Bal
kan issues before drafting to peace
pacts, led most observers to be-
ieve the conference would adj
journ while the three major coun-
tries carried on negotiations
through diplomatic channels.
The ministers met for three hours
this afternoon to consider material
to be included in a final overall
communicate expected tomorrow
On the conference records.
On the basis of information from
conference sources that the min
listers Of the United States, Great
Britain, Russia, France and China
intended to conclude their talks
tonight, diplomatic quarters pre-
dicted the Balkan issue would re-
main unsettled.
However, it was understood that
the overall communique would an
nounce several agreements reach
ed during the 20 days of delibera-
tons, including the Soviet-British
agreements on a treaty for Fin
land and on withdrawal of troops
from Iran by March 2, 1916.
These reasons were cited by
some conference delegates for the
apparent failure to agree on major
problems:
Lack Of preparation, parti-
cularly advance exchanges of views
before the London sessions began.
Russia's views on the Mediter-
ranean came as a surprise, while
the Americans repeatedly suddenly
changed their stand on the disposal
of italian colonies.
2-Three of the Foreign ministers
james F. Byrnes of the United
States, Ernest Bevin of Britain,
and Wang Shit hieh of China-are
new in their jobs. And some OBJ
servers have reported open clash
es between Bevin and Molotov.
3-Alleged Russian sensitivity
over publicity at the wars end Of
the powerful economic and military
position Of the United States with
Russia pictured as weaker. Some
observers said the Atom bomb
secret might have a role in such a
Soviet attitude.

CONGRESS TO GET
new TAX PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-W.D-
The administration will submit tc
Congress tomorrow a transitional
tax reduction program expected to
relieve an estimated 10000. 00l
persons of all income tax liability.
It is believed to call for outright
repeal of three per cent normal
tax on individual incomes and the
SO per cent excess profits tax Oh
corporations. The changes, to be
come effective Jan. 1, would re.
duce government tax income an
estimated $4,000, 900, 900.

has permitted an exception of only
$500 for each taxpayer with no
credit fo~ dependents. Its repeal
would provide a measure Of relief
for all wage-earners, especially
those in lower brackets.
The National Lawyers Guild
called for a sharp tax
reduction for low income groups,
but recommended that existing in
come and excess profits taxes be
retained during reconversion.
It outlined a six-point reconver-
sion program which would raise
personal exemptions to $1,000 for
single persons and $4,000 for mar
ried persons, repeal the normal tax
and cancel several indirect or
excise levies.
Denouncing the generous treat

financial aid and tax relief, it said
that reconversion tax reductions
should have as their prime OBJ

ANNAMESE MASS
FOR new ATTACK
Week-Long Battle Takes
Toll OF 319 Dead,
234 Wounded

SAIGON, Indo China, Sept. 3d.
IR-Fighting between Annamese
and British and French forces en-
tered the second week today amid
indications that the rebe1lious ma
tives are massing on the outskirts
of Saigon for a concerted attack
when 1000 French reinforcements
disembark Wednesday.
The Annamese, battling to pre-
vent establishment of French rule
in Indo China, are estimated to
have force of 10000 men, three
fourths of whom are armed, in the
north-central area of Saigon. An
unestimated number of armed ma
tives also are massing along the
main roads in the southern area OF
the city.
Despite official attempts to n1irIi-
mize the outbreaks, the known
casualties from the first week Cd
fighting were 319 dead and 234
wounded. The dead included 204
Annamese and 100 French civil
ians. Britons, French, Americans,
Dutch, Chinese, Indians, Ghurk-
has, japanese and Annamese have
been involved either directly or in
directly in the battling.
British Maj. Gen. D. D. Gracey,
commanding officer of the Saigon
Control Commission, has ordered
the active participation of Japan
csc troops in an effort to quell the
Annamese. Some 1,700 liberated
Dutch prisoners of war have been
armed
British officials insisted that the
situation has eased and that
fighting now is restricted to the
Saigon suburbs where Ghurkhas
outflanked 200 natives who prev
iously had turned back two pla-
toons of Indian troops and two
sections of French Marines in a
three-hour pitched battle in which
the natives used mOrtars, grenades
and automatic weapons.
Two days ago column of IS
trucks carrying liberated Dutch
prisoners of war and japanese
troops was arnbushed by thousands
of Annamese armed with rifles
and chineguns.
The Japanese refused to fire on
the natives and only eight trucks
got through. The trucks were re-
turning to Saigon from japanese
arms dumps and probably con-
tanned weapons. No announcement
has been made of the casualties
resulting from that engagement.
