GOERING PULLS BACK

BY October ;. Goering knew that
he could not knock out Britain
with long range bomberS IN day
light raids. He pulled them back
and improvised a new attack for
Round four.
He equipped fighters 70 carry
bombs. sent them racing over at
high attitudes. Futile was that
folly
Group i Of the Raj shifted
its defense to match this new
method of attack. SO successful
was the defense that 167 ferries
were knocked down in = days.
Then Goering knew daylight raids
were done.

LEAVES 1T TO CONGRESS

The President left TO Congress
and the nation an exact interpre-
tation of his statement that the
income tax cannot fix the tax
liability of individuals and corpor-
ationS with equity as long as the
tax base is defined TO exclude
substantial and significant ele-
mentS of income"
Mr.. Roosevelt broadly endorsed
the recommendations of Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau--
which included a proposal for inn
position of heavy surtaxes on low
income groups.
On the other hand. he recalled
that in his last budget message he
had suggested a financial policy
aimed at collecting progressive
taxes out of higher level of ma
tional income.
II urged that additional tax
measures should be based on the
principle of ability To pay" Mr..
Roosevelt wrote Doughton.

SHORTAGE FORESEEN

Expansion of the defense effort

appears possibility of a steel short
age unless the amount of steel for
civilian needs is cut TO an alarm
ing degree. For instance. the pro-
gram to build 800 big bombing
planes a month has quietly been
enlarged until it now calls for 500
a month. This will increase steel
demand.
Greatest factor in the picture,
however, are the rush orders going
out to complete ships. both for
Britain and the United States be-
cause of the inSiStence of the
White House that the whole ship
building program must be stepped

Orders also have gone out

can advance delivery dates that
there will be more orders waiting
