COAST GUARD IS
 NOW WITH NAVY

 in the navy's anti-submarine pro- gram so that 1t will be able effec- lively to deal with submarines that may slip into harbors or close to shore"
 There was some doubt about the status of the control heretofore exercised by the coast guard over ships entering and leaving United States coastal waters. The control authority was not specifically mem toned in the transfer order, and there was some question whether the authority remained with the Treasury or had been shifted to the navy.
 Full Control of Navy
 officials expected, however, that the question would be clarified soon and that the navy eventually would be given the power to con- trol oil ship movements in coastal waters. It has been doing SO for some time, though on an unoffi- cial basis.
 Mir. Roosevelt's order directed that the coast guard shall from this date, until further orders, op- crate as 0 part of the navy, suh- ject to the orders of the secretary of the navy"
 A coast guard spokesman said the services personnel includes about 10000 enlisted men and l,700 com- nlissioned and warrant officers, as well as 200 ships. The ship figure, however, did not include small boats picket boats and other craft used only inshore. The number of such small craft runs well Into the hundreds, lnaSmuch as Q large number of privately craft of that type, registered aS coast guard reserves, have been brought into active duty recently.
 The coast guard was created in 1915 as a combination of the old revenue cutter service and the life- saving service. It was set up to be under the Treasury normally, but under the navy in time of war or whenever the President SO direct- ed.
 Admirable Record /, Entrance of this country into the World war in 1917 automatically switched the service to the navy and 1t made an admirable record President Wilson ordered it back to the Treasury on Aug. 28, 1919.
 A large number Of the 10000 guardsmen are assigned to life-bolt stations and lighthouse work but they could be ordered to sea duty if the navy deemed 1t necessary. Men assigned to Sea-going units are trained in gunnery and other fleet duties and presumably could i'll places on fighting craft without further training.
 Some coast guard units already have participated in emergency as- signments, in cooperation with the navy. It was Q coast guard ship, operating on patrol, which recently apprehended ( Norwegian ship which was acting as an offsshore base for c German radio station jn Greenland.

(Continued rom Page D were said to have allowed all but four brigades (about 4,00O Ynen) of Rumanian troops to be withdrawn from the front. The Hungarians were said to have pulled back all their troops with the exception Of three mixed brigades (about 5000 mem, partly because of appeals by Admiral Nicholas Horthy, Hunga- rian regent, and partly because the original Hungarian force had lost two-thirds of Its equipment.
 The Rumanians sent four army corps of unstated size into Russia. The Hungarians sent three army corps.
 The heavy Rumanian losses were suffered In the attack on Odessa. An estimated 20 per cent of the Ru- manian force was killed, the ob- server reported, with an equal or greater number wounded or missing.
 Despite Rumanian protests, 1t was said, the German high command ordered the Rumanians to make at- tack after attack, regardless of losses.
 One Rumanian motorized batta- lion lost four commanding officers ia aS many weeks. Hardly a single Rumanlan village IS without long casualty roll.
 The observer said he was ni- formed by Rumanians that in the end Odessa was not captured by attacks but was evacuated by the Russians. The entering Rumanian force found the city largely wrecked. They suffered further losS- es from mine explosions,
 Chief cause of tension In Ruina- nia, in addition to heavy war losses and a deepening economic crisis, was said to be the general belief that Rumania had weakened herself in Russia without achieving any notable gain.
 Many Rumanians officers were said to feel that Rumania is now in no position to recover the ceded portion of Pennsylvania from Hun. gary and, in fact, is too weak to op' pose effectively on attack by Hun. gary.
 Hungary, in contrast, was said to be fairly well of, except for loss of much equipment. Hungarian caSu- alties were said to have been light, possibly only 10000.

the Allied air force, in particular, was being transformed in the Mid dle East by the steady arrival of United States planes.
 It was estimated that more than 70 American ships were plying be- tween the United States and the Middle East, with an average of more than one ship a day delivering American goods.
 American techniclans, instructors, and advisors have been busily aiding In reorganization of air defenses and methods of speeding up deliveries.
 U. s. Attacked Germany
 Berlin, Nov. 8 - (UP.) - Author ized Nazi quarters said today there was mo doubt" that the official de- claration that America has attack cd Germany" has found and finds unreserved approval" of Italy and Japan, Germany's partners under the tri-partite military alliance.
 Asked whether the German asser. ton meant that the military clauses of the alliance would be invoked, the spokesman replied that Italian and Japanese reaction to the declaration "is seen in the comments of news- paper publieIsts in those countries.
 However, he added, what other political or military effects the de- clarationS may have we cannot say for the moment"
 The first mention of Japans mill. tary obligations was made obliquely in the press.
 It appeared in the newspaper zwoelfuhrblatt in the form of the headline What will Japan do now9' which was carried over e dispatch from Copenhagen in which the Ber- lin correspondent of the Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende dis. cuSSed possible Japanese action.
 Japan Sc0ffs At Fleet
 Tokyo, Nov. 3-(UP)--The news- paper Yomiuri said today that the weakness of the American navy" was demonstrated by the "fact that the United States is unable to pro- vide for emergencies in both the At. lantic and Pacific oceans"
 The alleged inability of the United States to transfer more warships to the Atlantic was cited by the rews- paper as the reason for President Roosevelt's statement that he fore- saw no immediate change in rela- tions with Germany.
 Yomiur1 said that the Reuben James sinking was c blow to the United States because of the "boast- full" utterances of Secretary of Navy Frank Knox and the statement Of Mir. Roosevelt that the Atlantic fleet had taken battle stations.
 The American Atlantic fleet war; ships were mostly completed before 1902, the newspaper claimed, and therefore are over-age and obsolete particularly in arnamentS and speed.
 As a result, 1t added. they cannot effectively take part in operations against Axis submarines or other attacking craft.
 "There is some talk" the newspa- per said, that the United States iS planning to strengthen the Atlantic fleet by transferring Pacific fleet units, but such strengthening cannot be done in an effective degree as log as the present tension In the Pa- cific is unaltered.
 "The fact that the United States is unable to provide for emergencies in both the Atlantic and Pacific demonstrates the weakness of the American navy"

SO Per Cent Tex
Proposal Studied

Congress enacted the 10 per cent
defense tax last year in an attempt
to raise enough revenue over a five
year period TO amortize a S4,o00,00o,- :
900 increase in the national debt
limit. Since then. however, vastly
enlarged defense spending has
dwarfed the levy as a revenue rais-
er.
The defense TAX had the effect Of
adding 10 per cent to the income
taxes paid by individuals and COR
porations.
Advocates of using ii as vehicle
for carrying part of the burden OF
the new levies pointed out that 1t
would most nearly carry out Secre-
tary of the treasury Henry Morgen-
thau's ideal of adding proportion
ately alike to the taxes all business
eS and individuals now pay. The
general treasury plan is TO add 25
TO so per cent TO virtually all exist
ing levies.
Increase Of the defense tax 10 so
per cent would yield close to So
900 900 900 of the desired total.
