Finland after two months of
negotiations had informed
Russia April 19 through Swed-
en that the Finnish parlia-
ment had decided the Russian
terms would impose a burden on
the people exceeding their capac-
ity and that some of the terms
were Incapable of being carried
out for purely technical reasons.
Vishinsky said the Finnish rep-
resentatives who came to Moscow
March 27 at the invitation of the
Soviet government included J. K.
Paaaikivi. They met With Foreign
Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov.
These were the Soviet terms
which Finland rejected:
1. Rupture with Germany and
immediate internment ef eaemy
armies and warships, or their
-ipalsion before the end ef
ARffl. -n
2. Restoration ef the Finnish-
Soviet treaty ef 1949 and with-
drawal at Finnish

3. Immediate repatriation ef

Vishinsky told s press confer-
ence that the Soviet government
had advised the United States and
British governments and that
Britain had approved the Russian
reply which declared that Fin-
land's reasons for rejecting the
armistice terms were "unfounded."

were about seven Nazi divisions of

STOCKHOLM. April 22 (API—
In arguing for rejection of Rus-
sian armistice terms. Finnish right-
wing elements, headed by Prime
Minister Edwin Linkomies, con-
tend that Germany still may not
lose the war, reliable sources said
tonight.
Summarized by informants from
Finland, this is the view taken by
the influential conservative bloc
in the Finnish government:
"There still is a possibility Ger-
many will not lose the war, even
if she does not win it—in other
words, the struggle may end in a
compromise.”
Supporting this view, this Fin-
nish group asserts. "Germany's
military strength is unbroken: her
supplies still are good; strong
farces remain at her dispoMl; her
stamina Is great: and among the
people and in tha army the belief
in Germany's victory is unshak-
en.
"One must conclude that time
is working” in favor of Finland.
There still are several possibilities
the country may emerge from the
war with succeM. but if it loses
its nerve now and in fear of death
commits dishonorable suicide, then
the future will have nothing bet-
ter to offer."

WASHINGTON, April 22— <AP>
Responding to national clamor
against the intricacy of taxation,
the House ways and means com-
mittee approved today a tax sim-
plification bill to make it unnec-
essary for 30.000,000 of the 50,-
000.000 individual taxpayers ever

Committee Chairman Doughton
(D-NC) Mid he would introduce
the legislation to the House Mon-
day—with the view to putting it
on the statute books before Con-
gress recesses in June for the na-
tional Democratic and Republican
conventions.
Higher for moot taxpayers, the %
new withholding levels, if final-
ly written into Uw by Congress,
would collect the full tax liabil-
ity of persons earning up to
25.999 annually.
Under plans of tbe committee
the new schedules would become
effective next January 1. There
would be no change in amounts
held out of pay envelopes and sal-
ary checks this year.
The committee planned to con-
sider the withholding tables today,
and Chairman Doughton (D-NC)
expressed hope that the bill could
be presented to the House next
week.''

PEACE CAUCUS
GROUP NAMED
BY CONNALLY
WASHINGTON. April 22— 'AP)
Catling tor a united national front
on peace problems. Chairman
Connally • D-Tex) Saturday named
a bipartisan committee of eight
Senate foreign relations commit-
tee members to confer with Secre-
tary of State Hull on plans for an
International organization.
He chose four Democrats, three
Republicans and a Progressive,
the majority of whom hold liber-
al international views on foreign
policy. Designating himself as
chairman. Connally picked Sena-
tors George (D-Gs). Barkley (D-
Ky), Gillette (D-Iow»>, Vanden-
berg (R-Mich), White <R-Me). Aus-
tin (R-Vt) and LaFollette <Prog-
Wis>.„ The committee was ap-
pointed at Hull's invitation.
In an accompanying state-
ment. Connally Mid the pur-
pose of the proposed meetings
between tbe senators and State
Department representatives was
to develop "each other's slant
vof mind with respect to various
phases of future international
questions and to a suitable pro-
gram of conference and discus-
sion as developments may
arise."
The chairman Mid the initial
meeting with Hull early next week
will be "exploratory and consul-
tative in character "
"A preliminary purpose for
such cooperation and consultation
will be to secure as great unanim-
ity among the American people
iM tha Cong**** ns possible with
reference to a basic postwar se-
curity program." Connally Mid.
"In foreign relations it is of the
highest importance that our coun-
try present a United front.”
Connally pointed out that tho
majority of those chosen in
what was generally described as
a move to establish a partner-
ship between the legislative and
executive branches on peace
problems, had served previous-
ly on a subcommittee which
drafted last winter's Senate res-
olution pledging American co-
operation in tbe establishment
of international peace preserva-
tion machinery.
LaFollette was the only out-
standing opponent of that resolu-
tion among the group placed on
the new liaison committee. Sena-
tor Austin, only recently given a
place on the foreign relations
group, apparently was included
because of his oustandingly liber-
al international views.
The committee membership in-
cluded both ^lajority LBadcr Bark-
ley and acting Minority Leader
White, as well as Senator Van-
denberg. who heads the Republi-
can postwar advisory committee
on foreign affairs.

BRITISH AND GERMANS USE HUMAN TORPEDOES’—An amazing war weapon,
the human torpedo, has been used by both the British and Germans, but not with any
gTeat success, at least for the Nazis. A young German marine was captured at Anzio
in the Axis version of the unique new device. Here is shown the British model, with
two men in diving suits riding the weapon. They guide the torpedo toward the target,
set off the explosive charge with a time fuse, then ride the propulsive part away. It
was used against the enemy naval base at Palermo, Sicily, in January, 1943, when two
enemy ships, including a cruiser, were sunk.

City Manager F. E. Scott, in dis-

storm sewers had been placed first
on the list because, he believed,
every citizen realizes the great
need for them. Brownwood has
been seeking installation of a sys-
tem of storm sewers for years,
without success.
Incinerator Needed
Need for an Incinerator is re-
garded as virtually of equal im-
portance to storm sewers. It would
eliminate the present city dump
method of disposing of waste mat-
ter. which is admittedly uruatisfac-
tory from haalth and other view*
points.
Brownwood still has many dirt
streets, and cannot obtain suffici-
ent paving The city„ has ,in the
past taken advantage of every op-
