British Attack Brest
For Seventh Time
In Two Weeks
Bombs Reported Dropped
Either On or Near
Two Nozi BottIeships.

B, the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 15.-British war
planes dropped heavy bombs "either
on or near" the 26,000-ton German
battleships Gneisenau and Scharn-
horst in another attack last night
on the German naval base at Brest,
the Air Ministry announced today.
Hundreds of bombs were unload
ed over the dock area of the port,
a communique declared, in a -FOUR
hour assault.
Hits also we're reported on power
stations at HARLEM and Leidsn, in
the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. and
German supply ships were said
to have been bombed and machine
gunned off the coast
The raid on Brest was the seventh
reported in the last two weeks.
Poor Visibility.
The Air Ministry said poor visi-
bility made it impossible to deter
mine last night whether any direct
hits were scored on the Gneisenau
and Scharnhorst.
Loss of one plane was acknowl-
edged by the British in the day
and night attacks on German OBJ
jectives.
German daylight raiders were re-
ported today over the Liverpool
area, the East Midlands and North
west England.
Meanwhile, it was announced the
government would issue totals of
merchant shipping losses monthly
in the future instead of of each
week. Heretofore, the Admiralty has
issued a statement of shipping losses
each Tuesday.
An authoritative source said the
April losses would be announced
about mid May. British, Allied and
neutral shipping losses in March,
already announced in weekly to-
tails, were approximately 100000
tons.
Reason for Change.
The authoritative source said the
losses in monthly totals will make
it more difficult for the enemy to
deduce the proportion of these losses
due to submarines, airplanes, raiders
and mines"
1t also would give the public more
proportionate appreciation of the
situation and obviate big amend
ments which have been necessary
to weekly totals, because of the
wide areas over which British ships
sail, it was said.
1t was explained further that a
weeks losses of 10000 or 10000 tons
tended to cause undue optimism
and make people imagine that the

Senator Suggests
Federal Tax on All

Johnson of Colorado
Would End Exemptions
For individuals
By tte Associated Press,

Talk of making every penny of tn,
individual taxpayers earned per-
sonal income subject to Fedora
taxation cropped up in the Senate
today while leaders tentatively
scheduled consideration of another
big spending bill.
Senators johnson, Democrat, Of
Colorado and Herring. Democrat, OF
Iowa declared that Americans are
ready and willing to pay heavier in
come taxes to help finance defense
Senator johnson suggested that ex-
isting exemptions of $4,000 for mar
ried persons and $500 for single in
dividuals be eliminated entirely
Senator Herring proposed lowering
the exemptions to 81 500 and $500.
The appropriation legislation-a
$1,152, ,372 632 supply measure for the
Treasury and Post Office Depart
ments-was ready for Senate action
but Majority Leader Barkley said
consideration might be delayed un-
less Senator McKellar, Democrat, OF
Tennessee, who has been i'll. coulo
be present to serve as floor manager
Dispute Over Subsidy.
In controversy was a section pro-
viding an $500 900 subsidy for estab-
lishment of a new transatlantic
airline by the American Export
Steamship Lines. Supporters con-
| tend that it would provide needed
service and strengthen this coun.
| tryS position in transoceanic avia-
tion. Opponents say it would give
American Export "a practical mo-
nopoly" on air and water transpor.
tation to Europe.
In the revenue field, Senator
Johnson, who recently returned from
a trip to the West, declared he hao
never seen people more willing tt
be taxed than they are at present
and we ought to accommodate them.
He suggested that if all exemp.
tions were wiped out, a very ligh
income tax might be levied on tn,

Spreading Pay Raises
Quiet Steel Disputes;
Coal Tie-up Goes On
More Than Two-Thirds
OF Industry's Workers
Get $4-q-Week Increase
By tie Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
Wage increases of 10 cents an
hour were effective today for an in
creasing majority of the Nations
steelworkers, as smaller mills fol-
lowed the lead set yesterday by
United States Steel Corp. and other
large producers.
While the wage hikes and other
concessions swept away most of the
rough spots in steel-labor rela-
tions, the soft coal tie-up remained
in effect despite the appearance OF
Secretary of Labor Perkins before
MANAGEMENT and union representa-
tives deadlocked on terms of a new
contract.
About 432 900, or more than two
thirds of the steelworkers in the
Nation, were informed by last night
that their pay envelopes would be
81 fatter each week.
Included we're United States Steel,
with 240O00 employees; Bethlehem,
with 10000: Republic, $4,000;
YOUNGSTOWN Sheet e. Tube, $4,000;
Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad
Co, $1,000; Otis Steel tCleveland +.
5000, and Acme Steel (Chlcago)'
$500.
Wheeling Steel Corp. followed to-
dav with a 10-cent increase Tor ltS
$4,000 employees in Ohio and west
Virginia. The announcement also
said there would be further dis
cussions on certain points of new
contract. The increase is retroactive
10 April l.
Other Firms Due to Fall in Line.
National Steel Corp. earlier had
led the way by raising the wages
of 10000 employees by 10 cents an
hour. and similar increases had gone
TO about 5000 workers in smaller
mills. In all. more than 5000 men
have been affected.
The new basic steel wage became
$3.50 a day, retroactive to April l.
other steel companies were expected
to fall into line rapidly.
A Steel Workers Organizing Com
mittee, headed by Philip Murray
s. w. o. c. chairman and G. I. o.
president, arranged to begin wage
increase negotiations in Pittsburgh
tomorrow with Chairman H. Edgar
Lewis of the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Corp, which employs about 1000
wage earnerS. Crucible and Pitts
burgh Steel were expected to be met
next.
The big question among steel con-
sumers was whether the wage in
creases would cause rise in the
price of steel Many steel men
guessed yes, especially if soft coal
wages and prices go up as well.
Secretary Perkins Sees Coal Men.
Secretary Perkins reported "a very
pleasant meeting" with the soft coal
negotiatorS at New York last night,
but no immediate developments were
apparent as a result of her efforts
Representatives of the management
and of the United Mine Workers
&C. I. o. were to meet again late
today.
While the Ford Motor Co. pre-
pared to return to full operations
at its River Rouge plant following
settlement of G. I. O.-United Au-
tomobile Workers strike, General
Motors Corp. resumed negotiations
with the same union over a new
contract. The union has threatened
to call strike of non-defense en-
ployes of G. M C. unless wage in
creases and other concessions are
granted.
