Headquarters today issued it's
usual daily written summary of
war developments with no marked
reduction in customary detail.
Eighth Army headquarters in
Korea continued its briefing ses-

Allied troop positions. A map
showing these was available only
during the briefing instead of all

"some unauthorized persons" in

At its present stage, the new

There was no evidence that it

George Hopes 10 Trim
Profits Tax Bill 10
Aid Small Business
BY the Associated Press

Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee is looking for
a way to trim the excess profits
tax bill in spots where it might
cramp small, growing businesses.
President Truman has requested
a tax bill to syphon 81 billion from
the rising profits of business and
industry to meet part of the soar
ing costs of national defense. The
House last week adopted, instead.
a bill designed to produce $3.4
billion.
Senator George told reporters
last night he hopes to devise a
tax graduated in some way" so
it would help the smaller busi-
ness people without taking too big
a bite out of total revenues the
bill would raise.
The House bill proposes a for
mula under which no corpora
ton would pay taxes exceeding
81 per cent of it's taxable earn
ings. Senator George said that
figure "is too high" II favor so
per cent for the smaller corpora
tions.' he added.
Senator George said Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder had ex-
pressed willingness to accept a
compromise IS per cent ceiling.
The Ct per cent ceiling enters
the picture this way:
The House-passed bill proposes
a IS per cent tax on excess prof.
it's, on top of the As per cent nor
NAL income tax and surtaxes al
ready imposed on corporate earn
ingS: but another provision de-
clares that the three taxes COM
bined may not take more than
81 per cent of any corporations
taxable earnings.
The bill defines normal profits
as IS per cent of the average
earnings for the three best years
from 1916 through 1949. Any
thing above that would be taxed
at the rs per cent rate.
The committee ended public
hearings on the bill yesterday.
1t will go into closed sessions next
week to begin shaping a tax bill
for Senate action.

u. S. Planes Battle Reds
In -Four Brief Skirmishes
By the Associated Press

United States Air Force planes
had four brief skirmishes with
Communist fighters over Korea
yesterday, an Air Force spokes-
man said today.
But he told reporters also that
this didn't seem to indicate any
substantial step-up in activity by
the Red air force. The number of
contacts with Red planes has
been from two to about four a day
during the last week or two.
Only slight damage was re-
ported inflicted by planes of
either side in the four skirmishes.
All contacts with enemy jet
fighters have been at distances of
not more than 120 miles from
the Yalu River boundary between
Korea and Manchuria. This indi-

developments which might bring
about a change in the situation.
Communist China-The Presi-
dent and the Prime Minister frank
ly recognized the split in British
and American policies due to
Britain's recognition of the Red
Chinese regime and Americas re-
fusal to do so. Britain also favors
Red China's membership in the
U. N. which the United States "op-
posed and continues to oppose"
However, the two leaders expressed
determination to keep these diff
ferences from interfering with
their cooperation in other fields.
Formosa-Mr. Attlee supported
the American policy for keeping
the question of the eventual dis
position of Formosa in the U. N.
The Chinese Nationalist and
Communists alike have objected
to this on the grounds that
Formosa belongs to China.
Distribution of Raw Materials.
Raw materials-The President
and Prime Minister recognize the
necessity of international action
to assure that basic raw materials
are distributed equitably in ac-
cordance with defense and essen
tial civilian needs" Out of this
agreement is expected to come
new Anglo-American efforts to set
up an ALLEGATION system for raw
materials under the North Atlantic
treaty. There is also talk of re-
establishing some of the joint
economic agencies the United
States and Britain operated in
World War II.
Strategic materials-The two
leaders declared they were fully
conscious of an increasing need
to prevent war-useful goods from
reaching Communist countries.

stressed the high degree of unity
which exists between the United

ever, like wishful thinking.
The two headline gubernatorial
races are in New York and Cali
fornia. In the first, the outcome
appears in considerable doubt, with
both sides claiming victory. Gov.

Adenauer Asks Share
For Reich in Defense
OF Western Freedom
BY the Assoeioted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov.
4.-West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer appealed to France
tonight to let West Germany
Share in the defense of freedom.
The Chancellor's plea was ap-
iplauded by some 1000 Germans
during an election campaign
speech at Stuttgart in the Ameri-
can zone of Wuerttemberg Baden.
DR.. Adenauer urged that France
recognize the need for European
solidarity" and give up its oppo-
sition to rearming West Germans
to serve in united European
defense army. He also denounced
his political foe. DR.. Kurt Schu-
macher. Socialist Party leader,
for giving the world the impress
sion that we do not want to de-
fend our own freedom"
Speech Follows Warning.
The chancellor spoke only "a
hours after the United States had
published a warning to Germans
that they had better stop their
"haggling" over conditions and get
ready to do their part in European
defense. The warning appeared
in the Neue Zeitung, the Amer
leans official German-language
newspaper published in this coun-
try.
! DR.. Adenauer made no direct
reference to the Neue Zeitung
article. His speech was the strong
est public Endorsement of German
rearmament he has made yet. The
chancellor rebuked opponents of
German rearmament as strongly
as had the Americans in their
published warning.
AssaiIs Socialists.
DR.. Adenauer centered his at
tack on DR.. Schumacher and his
fellow Socialists. the chief oppo-
nents to the chancellor's Chris
tan Democrat party in this
months series Of State parlia-
mentary elections. DR.. Schuma-
cher has spoken repeatedly against
German rearmament.
Forty young Communists who
tried to interrupt the chancellor
speech were evicted by police
from the hail.
The chancellor criticized a pro-
posal by French Premier Rene
Pleven for gradual and partial
participation of Germans in Eu-
ropes military defense system. He
added:
This plan requires years. ]

us that much time"
