RESERVE OFFICERS’ "RELEASE PLANNED
Most of Them Not in Air To Serve 12 Months.
WASHINGTON, :Sept.-1 (U. P.) — The War Department announced today that, ‘Wherever practicable, all reserve’ officers except: those in the Air Force will be released from duty after one year’s service if they desire to return to civilian life. It added, however, that such officers could be retained for an additional 18 months. “without their consent” under legislation extending their service to two and a half years. Because of ‘the Air Force éxpansion program, the Department said, all air corps reserve officers. and men from other branches on duty with the Air Forces will be. retained “for at least an additional 12 months. without their consent.” : “Aviation cadets . who graduate from traning schools and are commissioned : in the air’ reserve,” it added, “are required to sign ‘an agreement to serve three years .- . and they may be also required to serve an additional period under the service extension act.” The department said that in cases where officers could not be released, their tour of service would be extended “without regard to the consent of the individuals concerned.”

TIRED SENATORS HURRY TAX BILL
Only Two or Thr or Three Meas- - ures Stand Between Congress and Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (U. P). —Congressional leaders hoped today to jam the $3,672,400,000 tax bill through the Senate before the end of the week. Weary legislators were demanding adjournment. In continuous session since :Jan. 3, 1940, with a few brief recesses, Congressmen pointed out . that -only . two major bills are . in the legislative mill. They are the tax bill and price control legislation. A new. appropriation for British aid" may- be coming up soon. The Senate Finance Committee meets tomorrow to give the final touches to the largest tax bill in Lhistory, and report it for floor consideration on Wednesday. Committee Chairman Walter F. George (D. Ga.) predicted it could be passed” in a day and a half: if an expected fight on community. property taxes does not. materialize. It has passed the House, but if - the Senate _ Committee's] changes are approved, it will. have to go to conference. 3 Additional _ appropriations. for British aid would probably cause a flood fight on the issue of aid to Russia but it was generally believed that consideration would not be pro-
persistently that the President is about to request more funds. Senator Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) believed the legislature program could be cleared up by Nov. 15 when an adjournment could be taken.

FATE 9F-PACIFIC BEING DECIDED
Peace or War at Stake In U. S.-Jap Talks, Say Observers.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 1 (U. P)— Americans arriving from Tokyo said today - that results .of . JapaneseAmerican diplomatic talks might not only determine the fate of the present Japanese (Government, but, in the end, the question of peace or war in the Pacific. They said Japan was confronted with most grave economic problems as the result of United States and British fund- freezing and ° trade embargo measures and that radical army elements were clamoring for swift action to break forcibly what they called military and economic encirclement. These observers said German officials at Tokyo admitted that Japan might be at a turning point in foreign policy. Authoritative American quarters in Tokyo were quoted as expressing doubt that there was a possibility of real Japanese-American rapprochement but believing that there might be a temporary arrangement. ° - About the best observers hoped for was a stop-gap by which economic pressure on Japan would be relieved, with the result that the “conservative” Cabinet of Prince Fumimaro Konoye would be saved. The alternative, they said, would be a complete military government and the accompanying ganger of an explosion.
