What theRussions
| Are Saying of U.s.:

The Mosco,U radio, broadcaStino i,
French to Europe, said:
THE proceedings in the U. N.
General Assembly have demon
strated the imperialist dogged-
ness and especially that of the
United States, to hamper normal
international cooperation for
peace. French capitalistic monop-
olies support the position of U. S.
monopolies which aim at world
hegemony and the enslavement
of Europe. q
This is not the first time
that French statesmen have been
more concerned with preserving
their class privileges than with
the national interests of the
French people. The French dele
gates point of view is the same as
that of the United States and
Britain, who defend their colonial
interests. This is, of course, the
business of U. S. monopolies. who
realize that the colonial peoples
who fight for freedom belong to
the progressive forces which pre-
vent the United States from es-
tablishing world hegemony."

the first time that a German SIS op-
erative could be considered innocent
of war crimes if it was not proved
that he knew the intent of the SIS
to be criminal.
Pohl. accepted his doom with a
curt nod. In his days of power. he
had accepted orders only from Helm
rich Himmler. the Gestapo chieftain,
and Adolf Hitler.
Three others were sentenced to
hang and three to life imprison-
ment. Individual terms of Is and 20
years were meted to two defendants
and six others received 10-year
terms.

pared by Judges Robert M. Toms
of Detroit, F. D. Phillips, Rocking

Truman S Plan 10 Aid
Europe, Curb Initiation
Here Is Facing Battle
Republican Opposition
Begins to Develop
On Several Fronts
BY the Associated Press

President Truman's probable
program for helping Europe
while fighting prices at home
emerged today in pattern likely
to crash into Republican opposi-
ton on several fronts.
/ Continued high taxes, strong anti
inf1a ton controls and outright
gifts" abroad all were urged by the
Presidents Council of Economic Ad-
visers, and all seemed certain to
provoke sharp outcries from many
Republican legislators.
In a weekend report to Mr.. Tru-
man on what this country can do
to carry out Secretary of State Mar
shall's plan of helping Europe help
itself, the council said the United
States is we'll able to finance its
share of the $50 2,OO0, 900 900 program.
But the advisory group cautioned
that the inflationary risk involved
will require Government ALLEGATION
of some scarce foods and other
goods, controls over speculation. new
credit curbs and-if these fail-pos-
sibly some form of price control.
KnutsOn Ready Again.
The Economic Councils emphatic
call for continued high taxes, as a
means of helping Europe and simul-
taneously reducing the national
debt, ran squarely athwart new tax
cutting plans announced by Chair
man Knutson of the House Ways
and Means Committee.
Mr.. Knutson reported that he will
have a $4,000 900 900 income tax re-
duction bill ready for submission
at high noon November 1.-THE
hour that Congress convenes. Mr..
Knutson was author of two tax re-
duction bills which were vetoed in
the last session of Congress.
Mr.. Knutson called the Ways and
Means Committee to meet tomorrow
first to hear its own Advisory Com
mite IS report on general over
hauling of tax laws and second to
begin public hearings on touchy
issue that may echo in the presi-
Dental campaign next year-the
taxation of co-operatives.
Community Property Endorsed.
Mr.. Knutson said his new tax bill
will be "two-phase tax cut" en-
bodying Nation wide application Of
the community property principle
along with percentage cuts in the
various income brackets.
More than a dozen States now
have community property laws
under which husbands and wives
are permitted to split their income
equally for tax reporting purposes.
BY holding the income in lower
brackets, this results in saving on
tax bills. The new Knutson meas
ure would apply the community
property principle nationally.
3 Billion in Gifts Planned.
Meanwhile, it was learned that the
administration probably will ask
Congress to provide Europe with
more than $1,000, 900 in the form of
gifts during the first year OF the
Marshall plan, in addition to repay
able loans.
