INCOME TAX DELINQUENTS ROUNDED UP

More than twice as many tax able incomes were reported in Al aska for the year 1939 than for the year 1888, according to o. s. Sullivan, deputy collector of in- ternal revenue, who is now in Anchorage and who is expected in Fairbanks before his return to his headquarters in Juneau.
 Figures are now definite and of ficial, as final tabulations on mum Der of income tax returns from the Territory are not yet avail able. MT. Sullivan believes that the increase is almost entirely due to improved conditions in Al aska.
 MT. Sullivan is making a trip to round up delinquents who have not yet reported on their 1889 incomes.
 By coming to me now on my present trip" he is quoted as say ing, anyone who failed to get his income tax report filed by March 15, can save himself heavy penalties. For each month of de- linqueney in reporting, 5 percent additional penalty is added. It is better to report immediately ra- ther than delay, whether immed fate payment of the tax is made or not"
 Sullivan is armed with a sheaf of reports showing taxable sal aries received by persons who have never filed reports. Part of his work on his present trip will be to locate and obtain reports from these individuals.

Declares PitifuI Army Fac ed Nazi H0rdes
 Without Friends

BORDEAUX, June 20.-Marshal Petain, Frances Premier in defeat, sadly told his people today that they have lost their fight with Ger many because i've had fewer friends than in 1914 and 1918 and fewer young men and less arms to a few allies
 However, Petain promised in a radio broadcast, We learn our les- son from the lost battle"
 HeS blamed the defeat son the lush years since the World War victory ''when our sense of enjoy ment predominated over the sense of sacrifice"
 Petain disclosed that at the be- ginning of the battle for France" :" the nation had but 2.720,000 troops or ehalf million less than after the three years of bloody fighting in the World War and in contrast with 85 divisions of the British in May, 1918, he added there were but ten in May, 1940.
 Compared with 58 Italian World War divisions on the side of France, 42 of those have now been thrown against France as an enemy, Pe- tain said.
 As for planes in the battle of France, Petain said that American, neutral and French planes were outnumbered by the enemy six to one.

Hitler's High Command announc- es the fall of Lyons, Frances third largest city, 200 miles north of Marseille, and the capture of more than 100000 prisoners, including Gen. Altmeyer, Commander of the French Tenth Army
 It is also claimed that 50.000 French Poilus in the eastern Magi- not Line have surrendered their arms to Swiss soldiers and poured across the Swiss frontier.
 The French admit that German troops have occupied Lyons.
 Under dwindling French resist ance, Hitler's High Command also claims the Nazi forces have swept further down the coast of France to Brest. the French Atlantic port below Cherbourg, where the Ameri- can Expeditionary Forces landed tens of thousands of men in 1917 and 1918.
 Brest fell to the German forces late today
 German troops are also racing down toward Bordeaux They have crossed the lower Loire River.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Capi- al comment from our colorful Con- yress:
 Senator COnnally (Texas) "The argument of military dic- tators cannot be answered by sewing circles. The arguments of artillery and tanks and swarms of airplanes cannot be overwhelmed by resolutions" It's beginning to look, Senator IS though the arguments of the mostest tanks, artillery and air planes can't be overwhelmed al all.
 Senator Pepper (Fla-)-"Ln the name of the people of Am erica, I challenge MussOlini to look into the face of America and see what America thinks of the cOwardly blow he is about to strike. Although I can not speak for the Senate today, will venture to prophecy to Mussolini: Let him do it if he will; let him think he will strike down civilization when it is prostrate, and I tell him that there will be a time he will feel the sting of Americas lash upon his body and he will crawl like scourged slave to an ignoble dungeon and spend eternity in penance for what he has done to destroy a spiri- tual body"
 Peppery words, MT Pepper, but ,ou ought to know by now those elbows over there don't waste any ,ime looking in the face of Amer ca before they make their deci- lions.

HostilitieS between France and the Axis Armies is expected to cease tomorrow or Saturday at the latest, an official Italian news agency re- ported this morning.
 It was asserted that French plenipotentiaries have started back to Bordeaux from Madrid with terms dictated by Hitler and Mus solini.
 The place of meeting between the envoys and the Axis leaders is not given. but the envoys are said to be returning in snow white plane for somewhere" in German occu- pied Northern France. Delegation on Way s

 A broadcast said the communica- tion could be transmitted to the Fuehrer only at six p. m.," and the High Command thereupon gave necessary instructions immediately and made preparations for receiv- ing the French armistice delega- tion
 The German radio, in cryptic report. today declared, Members of the French Government are not at all agreed on the question of laying down arms
 This lends credence to the un- confirmed reports that France has learned the girst of the Axis terms of peace and found them too harsh for the nations honor and are re- solved to fight on.
 These reports said President Le- Brun and members of his Govern ment are ready to flee to Algiers in North Africa and carry on the war from there. even if German troops capture all of France.
