Republicans Ask That Roosevelt Pay Tax on Loan j WASHINGTON', (U.Ri Repub-; i lican members of (he bouse ways; j pnd means committee demanded ; Monday that Elliott Roosevelt and1 ' bis fmniei wife, Mt Ruth G.l I Roosevelt, be compelled to pay ai j tax on the unpaid Dorlion of bis j much-publicized $:2u0,000 loan.i I The unpaid portion was $lfG,000. i ; The man why made the loan, presi-j idem .John A. Hartford of the 1 Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea j j Company received only $4,000 in j i settlement and was allowed to de-; iduct the SUm.OOO as a "bad debt" I in his K42 income tax return. j j The Republicans quoted Hart-i I ford as saying: that he had ma.!ej i the loan to Eliott only because j ! "his father (the late president) : 1 practically asked me to." They! 1 aid Hartford did not press for a! 1 larger settlement because he didj 1 not want to ' emhaiass'' the presi-; I dent.

Defense Is Found i For Atomic Bomb! 1 HOLLYWOOD 'U.R) The Cros-! by Research Foundation claimed today to have a defense against I the atomic bomb. j Larry Crosby, brother of film I star Bing Crosby and head of the i foundation which helped with the early work on the bomb, said that the defense was so simple that the bomb could be exploded miles away without their exact location having been determined. ''The bomb.-' can be blown up at will, along with their experi menters," Crosby .-aid. Crosby refused to discuss even the basic principle of the bomb defense. He said the secret would be turned over to the prop er authorities on condition that it be used solely to "compel other nations to play fair with the "United States." Crosby Foundation scientists engaged in war work for the last three years first obtained the basic ingredient of the atom bomb and detonated it in the California de-ei t. -'A scientist ha convinced me," Crosby said, ''that there is a defense for the atom bomb and that these bombs can actually be detonated without even knowing their exact location. This infor mation should set worried minds at ea-t, but more important still, it should convince other nations it would be futile to waste time, energy and billions to find the atom bomb's secrets. 'Most of the world's top sci entists have known the U-2H5 theory for years. But they had it on paper only. America was the fir.-t nation to develop it. It k doubtful if any other country to day has the equipment or finances to emulate us, even if they knew how to proceed. "Obtaining the ingredient is only one of the steps unknown to them. They must discover how to hold it, how to detonate it, how to safeguard those handling it. They must learn bow to increaso it. how to .bop or project it, when to detonate it. These are mechanical, as well as scientific problems, loquiring the maximum of patience and perfection in both fieldv. ''The risks are terrific in cost, brains, time and manpower. This is particularly true when experi menters know they and their work and laboratories can be blown up at will," Crosby said. S S Ernie Pyle Will Carry Army Troops PORTLAND, Ore. U.R The SS Ernie Pyle will steam down the Columbia river tomorrow on a mis-ion benefiting the man who hated war. but wrote about it be cause he felt it was his duty. With a capacity for .1500 GI's the troop transport will ply be tween Pacific bases and Seattle and Portland ports of embarka tion, bringing home the brave men of Ernie Pyle's famous column and books. The trim, all .steel transport is a ship Pyle would have been proud of that was the opinion of the men on the docks who had built her and proudly watched her ail down the Columbia Sat urday on a trial run. And that was the belief of officers and crewmembers who put the Ernie Pyle through her paces, from speed runs to anchor tests. REPORT DISCHARGES ! The following men have re-' ported their discharges to the Cass county selective service of fice: Gerald Puis, Murray; Mar vin D. Hall, Union; and Walter G. Reller, who ic now living in Portland, Oregon.

So, Washington reporters were invited over the weekend to roam around "Shangri La'' to their heart-' content. All they found for their trouble completely contrary to multiplying rumors during the war was a collection of typical mountain cabins, all furnished with second hand furniture. The mountain resort used by Mr. Roosevelt in 1012 and 1943. is near Thurmont, Md., about 75 miles noith of Washington in the Catoctin recreation area. Before th.e war the cabins scattered around the broad mountainside were rented by vacationers. During the war, however, the MacArthur Closes Banks in Japan TOKYO fJ.R American ceo- ' nomic experts sought clue- to Emperor Hirohito's vast fortune and the fate of stolen Philippine-. ! and Chinese gold today in the seized records of 21 major Jap anese financial institutions worth $1,300.(100.000. Gen. Dcuglas MacArthur's troops' occupied and closed 29 offices of the 21 banks and de- velopment companies in seven cities last night in a lightning : move that smashed the finan cial and economic spearhead of Japan's overseas imperialism.

Shangri La was built in the early depression 30's by CCC and WPA labor for tourists. It was picked as a wartime week end retreat for the president for two reasons: It's 2000-ft. altitude was good for Mr. Roosevelt's sinus trouble and second it is less than two hour by automobile from Washing ton. Mr. Tinman has never seen the place, but he will. Mrs. Truman looked it over one day in August and despite a heavy rain she liked it. President Truman probably will use Shangri La next "unimer, hut not before. It won't be lone until the temperature there is running far below zero.

S. navy "task force'' in history came upon the, junk.-' as they waited for a turn i of the tide to put out to sea from the confluence of the Whangpoo and Yangtze rivers. j Lt. Edward B. Martin, 36. San Diego, California, was the ' stocky sandy-haired skipper of ! this tiny force. Since taking : ccrrmand of the craft a fcrt- j night ago he has seized rrore ; than a doeen enemy craft at- j tempting to reach the open sea, . presumably bound for Formosa or Jaoan but capture of the six j ship flotilla was by far his big- i gest haul and the most fright- , ening. i Mai tin received a tip that the ' group of Japanese, possibly in- j eluding some wanted war erim-i inals, were preparing to escape. I His laboring launch barrelled! down the Whangpoo from Shang-j hai against strong tidal currents j just at dawn. The navy men I found the junks hove to awaiting the outgoing . tide, one of the swiftest in the world. Martin signalled to the lead junk he was coming aboard.

'UP- Dr. Wil-; helm Hoegner, newly-appointed minister-president of Bavaria, said today that the remaining! i 70,000 nazi-- holding civil offices' in Bavaria will be purged "within month.s." , Fifty-thousand other nazis al ready have been removed, Dr. Hoegr.er said, and most of those remaining hold minor offices. The purge originally was scheduled ov er a neriod of possibly years, but will be speeded immediately ''now that we know how to do it," he said. Dr. Horner is resoonsible only to Gen. George S. Patton. military -governor of Bavaria, who- was or dered last Friday by Gen. Dwigbt D. Eisenhower to clean out all nazis in his province immediately regardless of goveinmnet effic iency. Patton bad hesitated earlier to discharge all nazi. for fear it would disrupt government ser vices, but Dr. Hoegner said he be lieved even small-fry nazis could be removed without impairing ef ficiency. Dr. Hoegner also said he intend ed to divorce the Catholic church from politics in Bavaris, with eli mination ol confessional schools ; front the educational system as. : the first step. "The church should practice; ! more active Christianity than pel-; j it ics." he said. ' j 1 Though haniixed a Catholic, Dr. j Hoejner -aid he professed 'no. particular leligion."

WASHINGTON 'UP' The ad-rnini-tration asked congress Mon day to repeal the three percent noiinal tax on individual income and thus remove an e-timated' ten million persons from the federal tax laws. It also called for repeal of the 1)5 percent wartime excess profit tax on huMnc.-s effective January 1, and a-ked congress to fix def inite date when wartime exci.-v t.ixes would revert to H'42 level-. The fir-t jilimp- of the admin istrations post-war transition tax program, which would cut the government's income upwards of $4,000,000,000 a year, was given in Reconversion Director John W. Snyder's quarterly report to congress. It was made public while Secretary of the Treasury Fred M. Vinson was clo-ctod with the tax-writing hou-e way and means committee. presumably outlining the same recommenda tions. The committee hoped to have congress complete action on the emergency tax relief by November 1, so that lower rates on both individuals and butiness can go into effect January 1. Broader revisions of the federal tax structure are expected tc follow. Snyder noted in h'; report that increased taxes had been adopted as an emergency measure to si ' plion off some of the inflationary spending power of both business anil individuals during the war. ''Correspondingly," he said, l ' reduction of taxes during the 'immediate transition pel iod can ; be a potent influence again-t tle ! flat ion." i The National Lawyers Guild, a politically left-wing organization which was active in the new deal I democratic coalition, issued a 1 statement here opposing excess profits tax relief for business. The ! guild said there should be sharp , reduction: for individuals 4 the j low 'income group. The guild was among the advocates of war ' time taxes which would limit the ! income of any individual to $25, ! 000, after taxes. The guild program also includ ed: 1. Provi-ion for individual tax payers to enjoy a two-year car rying back and carryover of un used personal exemptions and credits for dependents. 2. Relief for small business by exempting the first $5,000 of net income from the corporate tax. an easier graduation of taxes on income under $10(1.000 and an option to s'uch corporations of be ing taxed as partnerships. n. Repeal of the $5 automobile use tax and of excise taxes on electric light bulbs, toilet prep arations, leather goods, and lug gage and reductions on other mass consumption excises. including tobacco, gas. dine and beer.
