Atomic Bomb, j
Japan,. Prominent
In Ministers’ Talks
—
MOSCOW, Dec. 19—(/P>—While ;
authoritative quarters said the
atomic problem was of uppermost
importance as the “Big Three”1
foreign ministers went into the
fourth day, “exploratory talks” on
the question of the control of
Japan appeared looming bigger in ■
the picture.
Although the talks are cloaked j
in strictest secrecy, observers at
tached significance to the fact that
one of the advisors to Soviet For- j
eign Commissar Motolov at yes-1
terday’s conference was Y. A.
Malif, last Russian Ambassador,
and pointed out that Secretary
Byrnes conferred yesterday with
John Carter Vincent, head of the
Far Eastern section of the State
Department, as well as Dr. Jam?s
Conant, atomic expert in the
American delegation.
Another question reported was |
the Iranian problem. Both Byrnes
and Bevin conferred with Iranian
experts shortly after publicaiton
of a new statement by Iranian
Prime Minister Hakimi yesterday,
appealing to United States, Britain
and Russia to withdraw troops J
from Iran. There was no an- j
nouncement after yesterday’s
meeting which lasted three hours
fifteen minutes.
Adjustment Of Inventory
Value To Be Carefully
Inspected
In response to numerous re
quests being received, Clark
Squire, Collector of Internal Rev
enue, said today that taxpayers
who anticipate making adjust
ments in inventory values, on ac
count of the ending of the war,
by manufacturers and dealers in
gods adaptable to war needs, and
the reductions in inventory values
below cost for other reasons with
the view of securing the benefit
of any decrease in income and ex
cess profits tax rates for 1946, that
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
will carefully scrutinize any
claims for reduction of inventory
values and that revenue agents
have been instructed to make
careful investigation of all inven
tory adjustments.
Collector Squire stated that due
to the shortage in civilian goods
and the exceedingly strong de-!
mand for such goods, no antici-1
pated losses will be allowed j
through reduction of inventory
values on goods suitable for con-i
version to civilian uses.
He again called attention to the
fact that no excess payment for
goods purchased at prices above
the ceiling prices fixed by the Of
fice of Price Administration will
be allowed either as cost of goods
sold or as an item of expense de
ductible from gross income.
