French Plan Merger
OF Zone in Germany,
London Reports Say
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 27.-French rep
resentatives tentatively have told
the United States and Britain that
France will merge her zone of Ger
many with their combined zones
after the November meeting of the
Council of Foreign Ministers, au-
thoritative diplomatic sources said
today.
These sources, representing two
of the governments concerned, pre-
dicted that one of the first major
sequels to this move would be that
the United States and Britain would
back a French request, said to be
imminent, for the political and eco
nomic incorporation of the German
Saar into France.
GA French Foreign Office spokes-
man in Paris said his government
had not made any prior commit
ments Officially, unofhcially or any
other way to integrate her zone
with the American and British.
(Why should we tie our hands like
that prior to vital negotiations in
the November council meeting?" he
asked.
Plan Fight for Saar.
OF the east-west deadlock per-
sisted through the November meet
ing, however, he said France might
have to re-examine her entire Ger
man policy. He said France would
make an all-out effort to obtain ap-
proval of the economic incorpora-
ton of the Saar within France at
the November meeting.)
A British Foreign Office spokes-
man said Britain expected the issue
would be raised almost certainly
during these sessions.
Britain, he added, would support
"the political and economic integra-
ton of the Saar with France" on
two conditions:
First, that reparations due to
France from Germany be adjusted

pared to subject their own zone to

New principles In treatment Of the

One curious finding was that in
the majority of cases badly wounded
men do not suffer severe pain.
On the other hand those in state
of shock due to blood loss nearly al
ways complained of severe thirst
presumably due to the fact that
water had been drawn from the
tissues to replenish the fluid in the
circulation. This is the explanation,

said, in addition to 100000 a year
the present rates are yielding above
expenditures. These two sums, plus
the 100000 from an increased
Federal payment, would give the
water fund reserve of 81, 4OO, 900
during 1948 that can be applied to
capital improvements the following
year.
Under this plan of creating re-
serve a year ahead, Mr. Bates said
the $4,000, 900 water expansion pro-
gram of the Commissioners could be
financed over period of 10 years
without resorting to debt.
District income goes into one of
three funds-the highway, the water
or the general fund. The highway
and water funds are supported en-
tirely by the gasoline tax and the
water rates respectively. The gen.
eral fund, out of which come new
schools, police stations, firehouses,
welfare and health institutions, pre-
sented the most acute problem.
Resulting Tax Deficit.
Here, MIR. Bates said, the proposed
budget included expenditures of
SIG, sol 200 during the year begin
ming July l, while existing taxes
will only yield $50, l06,507. The re-
sulting deficit, he continued, would
have been $10,494, 693.
To offset this, he said, the real
estate tax boost would provide
100000; the Federal payment,
$4,000, 900; the income tax, $500, 900,
and the proposed budget cut of
$4,000, 900 would bring the net gain
to $12,600,000, resulting in a sur
plus of $2,105 BOT.
Mr.. Bates said the revenue pic
ture would have to be re-studied
two years from now in the light of
conditions existing then to see If
enough money is being provided.
If not, he indicated, a sales tax
might have to be enacted.

deaths. Fortunately this type Of
malaria is rarely fatal.
There was one drug which was
known to be a "cure" in majority
of cases. This was German prep
aration known as plasmochin. 1t
was highly poisonous ~ altogether
too much so for use with troops in
the field.
Hundreds of compounds related
chemically to plasmochin were
tested with experimental animals,
both for toxicity and effectiveness
against malaria. Finally one known
as pentaquine was found to be only
about half as poisonous as the Ger
man drug and to have considerably
greater curative value.
Before the new drug was used
with soldiers or sailors it was tested
extensively with convicts in State
prisons and conscientious directors
who volunteered for the tests.
Relapse Rate Can Be Cut.
The tests to date indicate, DR..
Alving reported, that pentaquine in
appropriate doses will reduce the
relapse rate in severely infected
patients from SO to 16 per cent. In
moderate infections the relapse rate
can be cut to 4 per cent. 1t works
best when combined with quinine.

explained, many strains of bacteria
causing tuberculosis become resist
ant to the drug and retain their

Truman Asks Leaders
OF Congress 10 Speed
War Power Extension,
By joseph A. Fox

President Truman urged con-
gressional leaders of both parties
at a White House conference to-
day to speed action on the ex-
tension of certain wartime pow
ers which the administration
wants to carry through beyond
the present expiration date of
June 80.
The President, who plans later to
send a memorandum to Congress
supporting his earlier request for
extension, is seeking action on the
following matters:
Continuing Maritime Commission
authority to operate oil tankers, toI
lessen the possibility of an oil short
age this winter.
Continuing export and priority
controls over several hundred scarce
articles, including some food, fer
tilizer and industrial materials.
Talks With Several Leaders.
Mr.. Truman went over the legis-
lative situation at conference with
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, Senate President pro
tenn: Senate Majority Leader
White, Speaker Martin, House Ma
jority Leader Halleck, Senate Minor
ity Leader Barley and House
Minority Leader Rayburn.
Those who participated in the
conference said that neither the
controversial tax nor labor measures
were discussed, and this was borne
out by White House Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross, who said that 'the
meeting was harmonious and dealt
not so much with policies as it did
with legislative proceedings"
Legislation already has been in
troduced at the instance of the
President to carry into effect the
recommendations which he reiter-
ated today, and Mr.. Ross said that
Mr.. Truman urged speed lin view
of the imminence of June &c..
Speaker Martin explained that the
Maritime Commission legislation
was needed to deal with the posi-
bility of an Oil shortage this winter.
1t would continue Maritime Com
mission operations both coastwise
and ocean-going.
Senator Berkeley and Mr.. Ray
burn remained with the President
after the conference for about an
hour and Mr.. Rayburn told report
ers that the President merely want
ed to talk to some Democrats. While
it was agreed that the question of
taxes and labor had not been dis
cussed at the meeting, Mr.. Rayburn
said he had told the President that
he had voted against the tax bill
in the House and that he was still
against it.

The man on the street hasn't fig

the tax-reduction bill which Pres
ident Truman has under considera-
ton today.
But when he learns, no matter
whether the reduction would be SO

mean to them. Although the news

ing what it means to the single man
and the married man with two de-
pendents, none of those interviewed
had used the charts to figure out
how he would be affected.
The first man who knew what
| it mean to him was a patent at
torney. He is married, has one
dependent and an income of $1,000
a year. The bill would mean a
cut of 5000 in his income tax.
