Until the sudden outburis of firing the morning had been comparatively quiet although armed soldiers and sail- ors conducted an intensive house-to- house search for armed radicals.

The late morning outbreak, however, appeared serious. Court Martial Delayed. The court martial of 34 persons in connection with last Thursday's sup- pressed insurrection was postponed, after being set for this morning until later in the day.

Personal chats bstween Mr. Roose- velt and the Russian commissar add up to more than four hours, and State Department meetings swelled the total discussions to more than 10 hours. President Roosevelt’s own White House study last night was the scene of the longest and most intimate ex- change between the Chief Executive and Litvinoff. For three hours, lasting until midnight, Russo-American ‘issues were thoroughly reviewed. William Bullitt, special_assistant to Secretary Hull, was the only other official present. Before the conference the President told newsmen there would be nothing to report afterward except progress. Bul- litt, when leaving the White House with' the commissar, recalled that statement and reiterated it. Litvinoff wore the smile the Capital has come to regard as a fixture. In reply to questions as he left the Execu- tive’ Mansion he said “conversations with Mr. Roosevelt are always pleasant.” Meet for Hour at Noon. The late night meeting was the sec- ond Roosevelt-Litvinofl conversation yesterday. At noon they met for an hour with ' State Department officials and then issued a joint statement that discussions “will continue in normal course.” Authoritative sources said Litvinoff probably had cabled Moscow the chief points covered in his conferences with Hull. But no hint was dropped of the Soviet attitude toward an understanding on_definite issues. Secretary Hull left today for the Pan-American Conference, but Under- secretary Phillips and other assis- tants are thoroughly famillar with all phases of Russian affairs.

Dimitroff interposed he had not been in the Reichstag Building since 1921 and, moreover, that he did not look the same as he did then as he had lost 20 pounds “through the slimming cure in 1ail.” The remark drew an angry rebuke from Judge Wilhelm Buenger, with whom Dimitroff frequently has been in conflict throughout the trfal.

FECHNER IN GEORGIA C. C. C. Work Director to Make Armistice Day Talk in South.

He will return to Washington tomor- TOW. X intends to issue it as soon as he has received formal notification of the ac- tion which makes Utah the thirty-sixth State to ratify the new repealing con- stitutional amendment. This notification, because of routine or the distance of Utah from the Na- tional Capital, may be delayed for a déay or so, but the President plans speedy action. Nuisance Taxes fo Go. When he does act, his proclamation will, be; ing January 1, eliminate half a cent of the Federal tax and the 5 per cent now levied on divi- dends at the source. On July 1, ll&t excess levy will be dropped at the end of the taxable year chosen by the taxpayer. The President hopes, too, to be able to eliminate some of the so-called “nuisance” levies—taxes on refrigera- tors, automobile tires and the like. In| all, officials estimate that he wishes to do awav with nearly $500,000,00C in | taxes. But all will not be beer and skittles for the taxpayer—especially the one who uses the new legalized beverages. Administration sources say it will be necessary to raise this $500,000,000 given up by levies on distilled liquors. How much these will be has not been determined, but the Treasury next week will submit its estimates to a House Ways and Means Subcommittee study- ing the question. Even the cabinet is divided on this, some urging that the existing tax of $1.10 a gallon on do- mestic whisky be unchanged, others in- sisting that it be raised as high as §3. | Intends to Keep Control. This point, among others, will come before the President and his special cabinet committee when they resume discussion of the after-repeal prob- lems next week. But most all the offi- cials involyed are in agreement with the President's desire for continued strong Federal control over the liquor traffic. They made it clear yesterday the Federal Government does mot in- tend to surrender control of the dis- tilling industry.
