George S.

Patton, as commander of the Third Armyand administrator of Bavaria and had placed him in charge of a "paper army," the 15th. The order, effective Oct. 7, followed complaints that the pistol-packing, colorful Patton had kept Bavarian Nazis in office, and; was made public just four days after the 59-year-old armored commander was called on the carpet to give a personal report to Eisenhower on his denazification actions. Over Lt. Gen.

Lucian K. Truscott, who commanded the Fifth Army in Italy and later headed the Seventh Army, will succeed Patton as commander of the Third Army and administrator of the Eastern Milltary District. The 15th Army at present consists only of headquarters and special troops engaged in research work on Allied relations during the war. It does not control any. 0c- cupation area.

Patton, known his men as "Blood and Guts" has been one of the most controversial figures in the American Army. His commands in Sicily and France moved with great skill and speed unequalled by any American general and his fighting ability has: been respected. by friend and foe alike.

Problem Child His -slapping of -a soldier in Sicily, and his knack of making blood and thunder statements that aroused indignation in England and America at various times made him Eisenhower's No. 1 problem child. his superlative military ability saved him on several occasions. During his across France and until the lifting of censorship after V-E day none of Patton's utterances was allowed to be published. It was thought that Patton, who is independently wealthy, would retire at the end of the war, but he stayed on to command the Third Army which was assigned to occupation duties.

2-(AP)-The House Ways and Committee voted today to low income persons the income tax roles 1946 and to cut the total individual income tax burden almost half a billion dollars deeper than the administration recommended. Fred A. Vinson, secretary of the treasury, had asked a $2,085,000,000 cut in the individual taxes.

It it approves them without change, its total proposed cut would amount, to Vinson had recommended that the 3 per cent "normal on individual incomes be repealed outright.

The committee brushed this suggestion aside. It tentatively approved (subject to possible revisi ion later) a substitute. proposal by Rep. Carlson (R-Kansas) which would: 1. Keep the normal tax, but with the more exemptions now applied to surtaxes.

The normal tax now is leyied against net Income over $500 without regard to the number of taxpayer's. pendents. The surtax exemptions, would be applied to the normal levy, allow the taxpayers tax free net Income of $500. for himself and $500 for each dependent: 2. Reduce the surtaxes, by, four percentage points in each the graduated brackets.

Thus the surtax rate on the first $2.000 of net income would be 16 per cent insteadstead of 20 per cent; on thes next $2,000, 18 per cent instead of 22. and on up the list. If this plan. ultimately becomes law the 12.000.000 removed from Income levies after this gear would be married persons (no children) making $1,000 or less net Income: married persons with one child, $1,500 or less; with two children $2,000 or less; arid so increasing $500 for each. additional dependent.

No Agreements Reached As Big Five End Talks Russian Stand On Balkan Pacts Blocks Decisions London, Oct. 2-(AP)-The fivepower conference, of foreign ministers, weeks of disc cussing European peace. settlements, ended tonight in apparent failure. The ministers of the United States, Russia, Great Britain, and China concluded their first peace talks in a deadlock over: procedure which: authoritative circles said would have to be resolved by President Truman. Premier Stalin and Prime Minister Attlee.

This was the first meeting of the major powers in which no joint communique was issued at the coyclusion of discussions. There was merely A brief announcement that the council had "decided to terminate present session." In an authorized statement, S. Secretary of State, James F. Byrnes disclosed that the issue which deadlocked the conference was Russia's insistence on barring France and China from discussions of Balkan peace treaties. "There is good reason to believe," he added, "that with continued patience and understanding on all sides agreement on essentials can be attained.

determined upon that outcome." No date was set, however, for any future meeting and, conference circles said, it probably would not be until the heads of the governments find some solution of the procedure issue. Until such an agreement is reached, the deputies, who have been instructed to remain in London, will be unable to deal with the major problems awaiting settlemen.t The discussions began, Sept. 11 with the assignment to forge the framework of the Italian peace and to write the basic clauses of similar treaties for the beaten Axis satellites, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, No agreement apparently WAS reached on any major issue. The adjournment capped a weekend of bitter personal debate during which Russian Commissar V. M.

Molotov at one point was said to have threatened, after a tiff with British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, to leave the conference and return to Moscow. World Series Opener Sets Detroit On Edge Detroit, Oct, 2. (AP) first peacetime world series in four years set Detroit on edge emotionally today and forced the city into a veritable balancing act to keep control in a whirlwind. All over big and. joyful motortown the talk concentrated on the Detroit Tigers', chances of beating the Chicago Cubs for the world baseball championship in the series starting tomorrow, and Ignored strikes and the threat of strikes.

on their pitching choices for the opener. Hal Newhouser, Detroit's 25-game winner, was due to face Hank Borowy, who won 11 for. the Cubs while losing only two in the final two months of the National League flag race. He. won 10 for the Yanks before Chicago got him.

Detroit just beginning to dous war job when' the World catch Its breath from its tremen- Series came along, and tonight man couldn't buy or beg a place to sleep because of congestion. All hotels were filled to the last room, and harried managers were dodging out of sight' of more patrons. Two Great Lakes passenger steamers, pressed into service in the emergency, were moored the foot of downtown Woodward avenue in the Detroit River taking on some of the overflow. One hotel said it had turned down 10,000. applications for reservations within the last two weeks.

Others had similar experiences. To confuse the situation further, the oil workers strike had upset the city, transportation systems. Buses. and streetcars carried abnormal loads because thousands of private cars with empty gasoline tanks were out of service. Calls on taxi-caba were heavier than ever, and the cabs worried about fuel supplies.

Detroit loved it, however, and paid more attention, to the weather man's to difficulties in No. 1. industry -automobiles. Tomorrow will be "fair with sunny skies," the weather man said. William A.

(AP)-Secretary of Agriculture Anderson disclosed tonight that 1,600,000 tons of sugar have been discovered in the ports of Java since the Japanese surrendered. Obviously pleased over the discovery, Anderson told newsmen at a conference that this sugar should very greatly shorten' the period of rationing in this country. Heretofore, it has been expected that consumer rationing might be necessary through 1946. Discovery of this sugar was reported to Anderson today by E. C.

Zimmerman, 'commissioner for the Netherlands East Indies. He held out hope, the secretary said, that substantial additional amounts may be found in the interior of Java AS well As Borneo" and other East Indies islands. The sugar will be added to United Nation pool. Anderson said it' should start moving to this country within two weeks. It will become available at period when domestic supplies are at the lowest level of the year.

Supplies recently allocated civiltans for the October December period were 28 per cent below those of any other quarter of this year. The secretary announced he had been informed also 35,000 tons of rubber had been- found in Java. This information, he said, has been turned over to American rubber authorities: Anderson said the sugar will be apportioned among, claimants to United Nations by the Food Board, representing the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. He said no allocation had yet been made and he could not say yet how much this country would get. However, the United States portion might run between 700:000 and 800,000 tons if divided on the basis of past allocations.

Anderson again expressed hope that all food rationing except sugar may be ended by January In the case of sugar, he said. might be possible to end the rationing few months later, limiting governmental distribution controlsto refineries and industrial users, He said bakers, whose quotas have been cut sharply, probably will be the first to get the benefit of the Javanese supply, Anderson said the world sugar situation is "much rosier" now than at any time in many months. Prospects indicate, he said, a good Cuban crop in 1946, a large domestic. crop, and favorable production in Russia and other parts of -Europe, Peron Problem May Postpone Rio Conference U.S. And Brazil Discuss Putting Off Defense Talks Washington, Oct.

2-(AP) An apparent outgrowth of the Argentine problem, this government discussing with Brazil either cancellation or postponement of the scheduled inter-American conference at Rio De Janeiro. This was learned reliably tonight in the wake of Capitol Hill discussions in which acting secretary of State Acheson and Spruille Braden, recently returned ambassador to Argentina, talked the situation over with leading legislators, The Rio conference was called for Oct, 20 primarily to agree upon an inter-American defense treaty. However, after Argentina clamped new restrictive measures into effect more than a week ago, it became apparent here that the Rio meeting, if it were held, would be confronted with a decision on the touchy subject of Buenos Aires' de militarist regime. before it was learned that Washington had opened formal conversations with the Brazilian government on the subject, several Latin American ambassadors had suggested 'informally a temporary postponement of the meeting. Their views, expressed in interview, were that this would permit more time to prepare for the conference and allowits perspective to be broadened.

Apparent failure of the London Foreign Ministers Conference and the recent reorganization of the State Department were cited AS among reasons that might lead to a postponement, In addition to the Argentine situation.
