War Secretary
Urges Use Of
Supply Conveys
Stimson Makes Appeal to The
Nation. Bill Now Pending
In Congress.

Washington.-Immediate use OF
the American navy "to make the
seas secure for the delivery OF
munitions to Britain" was urged
this week by Secretary of War
Stimson as a means of turning
"the tide of darkness back from
the Atlantic world"
Declaring that eventual United
States security is dependent on
Britain's winning, Stimson assert
ed that all that this country has
done toward such a victory els
not sufficient" because Germany's
"lawless activities" in the Allan
tic are inperilling Britain's life
line.
eff we should allow the present
strategic moment to pass until
the power of the British navy is
gone" the cabinet officer said in
a radio address, "the power of our
navy would become merely a
secondary power instead of the
decisive and winning power in
the world contest"
After providing, for billions
worth of munitions to carry on
the defense Of, our freedom" he
continued, "and while we hold IN
our hands the instrument ready
and able to make all these steps
effective, shall we now finch and
permit these munitions to be sunk
in the Atlantic Ocean?
"Our entire history shows no
precedent to make such a sup
position credible. Neither the gov
eminent nor people of the United
States have ever given occasion
to make any one believe that such
an act of responsibility and in
decision would be possible"

Sale OF Defense
Bonds & Stamps
Good In Nation

The sale Of United States de-
Tense bonds and stamps have ex-
ceeded all expectations through
out the nation since they went on
sale May l, but here in Ashe
county the sales have been rather
light, it was learned yesterday.
The new defense bond is SINH
lar to the familiar ''baby" bond.
The defense bonds may be pur-
chased for $18.75. In 10 years this
bond is worth $500. Any time
after sixty days from date of pur-
chase, the bond may be redeemed
for cash in accordance with the
table of redemption.
For the small investor who
wants to buy a Government bond
on an easy payment plan, the
post offices have a series of pos
tai savings stamps at 1Oc, Csc, soc,
81 and SIS denominations. Each
purchaser of savings stamps is
given an attractive pocket album
in which to paste his or her
stamps until enough of them are
bought to buy a bond
Buying these bonds and stamps
is not only a good investment, but
it also helps in the national de-
tense program, postmasters point

Germans Describe Capture
Of Kiev as q Perfect BIitzkrieq

besiegers too weak to storm the
city Actually, they declared, the
reduction of Kiev was awaiting de-
velopment of a large encirclement
being worked cut far to The north
and south"
When the attack started. they
said, everything began at once: Dive
bomberS smashed at Notifications,
engineers swarmed forward to clean
up land mines and clear the way
for tanks. flame throwers shot their
binding fire at bunkers, infantry
charged with a barrage of hand
grenadeS.
Civilian defenses for which elabo-
rate preparations had been made
quickly collapsed, the Germans said.
The citadel, one of the bulWarks
of the Kiev defenSes, was said to
have been reached at IL m yester-
day and the red and black German
Warf1ag unfurled from its tower 10
minutes later.
Although resistance still con-
tinued, mopping up progressed rap
idly and the Kiev garrison shortly
signalled its readiness to surrender.
Reports still were scanty on what
the Germans found, but it was said
the reduction of the city took place
so swiftly the Russians had no op-
portunlty to start many fires or ex-
plosions and it was presumed, there
fore, that destruction was not as
great as it might have been.

President Signs
Nation's S Biggest
Tax Measure
Heaviest Levies Yet
Will Meet Only Half
Of U. S. Outgo
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, Sept. 20-President
Roosevelt today signed the $3,553,-
100000 tax bill, the largest ever en-
acted.
Designed to help defray the multi
plying costs of the national defense
and the lease-lend program, the leg
islation is expected to lift Federal
revenues above the $4,000, 900 900
mark next year.
Even that total, however, would be
only slightly more than half the es-
timated expenditures for the cur
rent fiscal year, and would fail to
carry out Secretary Morgenthau's
recommendation that Government
spending be financed two-thirds from
taxes and one-third from borrowing
Another tax bill may be proposed
later this fall or early next year.
In one w>y or another, the meas
ure signed today will touch virtually
every citizen. 1t will require an es-
timated 22,0O0,C00 persons to file in
come tax returns, of whom about
100000 will be making out returns
for the first time, and will impose
numerous excise, or nuisance"
taxes.
Exemptions Cut Deeply.
Tho innrnoen ~ 70 G1irn
returns will result from a provision
reducing income exemptions from
$4,000 to $500 for married persons
and from $500 to $3.50 for single in
dividuals.
OF the total additional revenue
provided in the measure, Treasury
estimates said s1,144 100000 would
come from individuals: 1882 ,100.-
600 from corporations; SITS, 1900 900
from capital stock estate and gift
taxes. and $346 100000 from excise
and miscellaneous taxes.
The measure increases from "A to
10 per cent the existing bottom
bracket rate on individuals and lifts
the rates on all other income levels.
Corporations will have to pay new
surtaXeS of 6 per cent on net income
up to $4,000 and 7 per cent on in
come over that amount. In addi-
ton, excess profits levies are in
creased 10 percentage points in each
bracket, making the new schedule
range from IS per cent on such
profits up to $4,000 to so per cent
on excess profits over s50O0OO.
Estate and gift taxes are in
creased in varying amounts esti-
