AUGUST 25, ig 4J Tax Paying at Peak in County Final Rush as Penalty Date EDWARDSVILLE, only A UK, 25. a remaining In which to pay taxes before second Installment penalties to apply, payments have the office of Henry at an been flowing in'o County Treasurer No. Two Nazi in Norway Testifies Against Quisling average rate of about 200 a day. In the first five days of the present week, Treasurer Henry said, payments r.Rgregsting more than $100.000 were received.

Friday having; been the top day with receipts of $65.894.86. The big show- Ing yesterday, however, was due In part, he explained, to a substantial second installment check from one of the large Wood River industries. Approximately half the payments of the week have been made by property owners who called in person at the treasurer's office In County Court House. The other were in checks sent by mail. Last Monday saw payments totaling Tuesday, Wednesday, $7952; and Thursday, $13,706.46.

Penalty for delinquency In tax paying is applied at a rate of one percent a month. Next Saturday, Sept. 1, will be the first day, under the statute provision, for applying the penalty on second installments, due by that date. Nearness of penally date means a final rush of payments which promises to keep the staff working top speed all next week. However, Henry said, the final week's rush is unlikely to equal that of the final week before penalty date in other years, for the reason that a greater than normal portion of taxes already has been paid.

"I estimate that full 75 percent of taxes over Madison county already have been paid, either to the township collectors or at my office," said Henry. "Although collectors go a late start, the books in many townships show the local collectors receive 90 percent or more of the total of current taxes charged. One of the main reasons for this fine showing was that a larger percentage of taxpayers than ever before paid both installments to the township collectors. Property owners generally seem to have been in better financial readiness to meet their tax bills promptly this year. And, when collecting sterted later than usual, many who formerly paid in two Installments chose to settle the whole bill at one time." Henry added that he expects his records to show '1945 as ofre of the best tax paying years the county ever has known, both, from standpoint of promptness in which payments were made and also In the relatively small amount that will remain delinquent when the second penalty period opens.

By NED NORDNKSS OSLO. Aug. 25. MaJ. Frldt- jof Hammersen testified today that Vldkun Quisling had requested German occupation authorities to remove Norwegian military officers to Nazi prison camps.

Hammersen, aide to Gen. Nikolaus Von Falkenhorst, Nazi commander In Norway, said Quisling wanted the Norwegian officers out of the way "because they were impossible to work with and might make serloMS difficulties." Quisling also demanded a forced labor service law for Norway, Hammersen declared. Twenty witnesses, most of them for the defense, remained to be heard today as the first week of the trial of Vidkun Quisling for high treason drew to a close. Quisling, testifying in his own defense, said the Germans were determined to fight on in Norway after capitulation on the continent but that he talked them out of do- Ing it. "I saw the Germans could hold a redoubt here for a long time but since it would destroy Norway 1 opposed It," he declared.

Quisling said he was wary of danger from Sweden and said he believed the Swedes could have driven the Germans from Oslo. The former Norwegian puppet said that Jast May Josef Terboven, German high commissioner for Norway, offered to get him Into Spain but that he refused the offer.

Spruance and William F. Hal- Fill Chesterfield Faculty Vacancy Quisling denied that forced labor laws were sponsored by him and declared that he went to Hitler protesting the measures and eventually got them annulled. Quisling denied Hammersen's charge that he wanted Norwegian officers deported and said he never had proposed harsh treatment for Norwegian patriots. Hammersen said Quisling feared Norwegian Bishop Eivind Berggrav and wanted him sentenced in civil court for resistance to the government. Quisling jumped to his feet and exclaimed: "I wanted peace and Berggrav helped to obtain it." The proceeding yesterday were highlighted by the testimony of Georg Wilhelm Mueller, described by the prosecution as the No.

2 Nazi in occupied Norway, who said Quisling's main objectives as premier were to mobilize a Norwegian army to fight on the side of the Germans and to conclude a formal peace with Germany. The testimony, drew murmurs of Indignation from an audience which often has displayed visible hatred- for the defendant. Prosecutor Annaeus Schoedt, as hi promised, loosed a bombshell when he produced documents from German archives and diaries of German leaders evidence that Quisling had not only known of the impending invasion of Norway In 1940, but had participated In the planning. By SPENCER MOOSA CHUNGKING, Aug. 25.

Three haggard American airmen, interned since raid on by Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle, April 18, 1942, arrived from Peiping by plane today. Almost their first words were said in thanksgiving for American food.

The fliers were Lt. Chase J. Nielsen of Hyrum, Utah; Lt. Robert L. Hite of Earth, and Sgt.

Jacob D. DeShazer, formerly of Madras, Ore. "It's good to get some GI food into your belly again, after that hollow feeling," said Sgt. DeShazer. Lt.

Nielsen said: "I feel I am a real American again." The three were brought to Chungking by way of Sian, in Shen- si Province, after a parachuted rescue team discovered them in Japanese hands. A fourth filer found with them was left behind with the rescue team. He is L.t. George Barr, formerly of Queens, N. who was reported suffering from beriberi, a result of starvation, and not In a condition to be moved now.

For the three who stepped from the C-47 transport "Lady Jean" onto the runway at the Seven Dragons airdrome outside Chung- king, it was the happiest day in more than three years. The Chinese capital, celebrating the fliers' rescue, was ready to offer its best. DeShazer was the bombardier and Hite was co-pilot of the same plane. They had been together since they balled out into Free China territory and were taken prisoners by Japanese troops who had disguised themselves as Chinese soldiers. Hite and DeShazer had attacked Nagoya.

Nielsen, navigator in another plane, had attacked Tokyo. Nielsen's plane crash-landed at sea. He swam four hours to reach land, staggered ashore and collapsed. He awoke the next morning to find two large vultures on a rock looking down at him. "Our life raft, it seemed, was made In it didn't work," Nielsen said.

"But our life vests did." After all of his accept surrender of its remnants. Plans for taking over what is left of the Japanese navy call for its surrender to the "local" American commands. Spruance's Fifth Fleet will control the waters of southern Japan, and Hnlsey's Third Fleet will be assigned to Tokyo Bay. Surrender of Japanese navy units presumably will be made as soon as practicable after the Amer-1 shu Sept. 2.

Scan admirals take over their respective districts of the empire seas. There have been no yet of any attempts to scuttle remnants of the Imperial fleet during the period of grace which now has extended over ten days since acceptance of surrender terms. Spruance's fleet will land army units in southern Japan, utilizing every feasible type of surface craft as In a regular military operation. Landings probably will be made both on beaches and at established ports. Tokyo radio had reported sea- borne troops would land on Kyu- Deny MacA rthnr Ruled Honft Kong Goes to British MANILA, Aug.

25. headquarters spokesman today denied that General MacArthur had broadcast any orders to Japan to surrender Hong Kong to the British. The British Broadcasting Co. had reported monitoring such a broadcast. The headquarters spokesman explained that the only communications maintained with the Japanese government are via an open radio circuit from which all messages are released to press correspondents.

There are no code transmissions on the circuit, he said. To observers here, It seemed obvious that any decision about such a ticklish problem as choosing between China and Britain to accept Japan's surrender of Hong Kong would not be made by MacArthur but would be a decision for heads of nations to take.

Chairman Sabath CD-Ill.) of the House rules committee voiced a plea for speedy action to insure all service personnel a vote in 1946.

This could be achieved, he told a reporter, by unqualified use of a ballot sent out and administered by the federal government. Sabath declared the 1944 absentee voter law "failed to work" because it specified that federal ballots could be used only when It was impossible to use state forms. He asserted that because of such amendments written into the bill by Rep. Rankln (D-Miss) and others "approximately 75 percent of the soldiers were denied a vote." Sabath added: "There is no quesion but what the federal government has the right to step in and insure every citizen of his constitutional right to a ballot. "All this hue and cry about interfering with states rights is pure bunk." Rankin and others have argued that unrestricted use of the federal ballot would be unconstitutional.

Rankin has said it would "become a wedge for constant Interference in states affairs by the federal government." Sabath said he was uncertain whether the federal ballot should provide only for congressmen, or include state offices, but that this problem should be worked out with the state officials. He added that some provisions should be made to allow absentee voting by civilians overseas. The number of these will be much greater in 1946 than it was in 1944, he said.
