Ukraine have been reinforced by the world famous Don Cossack Cav alrymen, war communique assert cd today.
 The supreme commands second commVnique of the day said fight ing hnd continued all night along the entire front.
 Guerrilla operations were de- scribed as continuing in the zhit- omir district, 90 miles west south west of Kiev, and the Vinnitsa dis- trict, 125 miles southwest of KieV. Vinnitsa Is more than 300 miles west of the farthest point of the German advance.
 The communique said German and other Axis troops were com- pelled to maintain large units of CSCMPS in e vain attempt to catch the guerrillas.
 Inhabitants of Axis occupied re- gions are aiding the guerrlllaS, the communique said and inform them of movements of German troops,
 It was asserted that in some !r- stances guerrilla bands had armed themselves with captured German machine guns mad rifles, and that operations had become so exten. sive the Germans were compelled to divert men from the front lines to fight guerrillas.
 A large detachment under @ dis trict communist leaders was de- scribed as operating south of Vim nitsa, keeping numerous important roads under It's control. Within a short time, the communique said, this detachment destroyed 240 Ger

was not specific on that point. She carried mail to American forces in Iceland.
 There was general approval here of the Greer's quick return of hos tile fire.
 Deliberate Attacks
 MT. Roosevelt indicated his con- viction at his press conference that the attacks on the Greer were de- liberate and said that the Navy would try to eliminate" the sub- marine.
 His words were not interpreted here to mean that the incident was regarded as anything ap- preaching a cause for war. It was generally recognized, however, that the administration considered 1t to be serious, rather than some- thing to be expected in the nor- nal course of fleet operations.
 The Congressional consensus seemed to evaluate somewhat less gravely the attack upon the Greer, There also was a scattering of off, the-record cynicism.
 Some Senators, notably Sen Harry r. Byrd, D., Va, were in- clined to argue that Germany

 The Cossacks have cut communi- cations, captured wireless stations, set fire to enemy stores and at lacked German troop units, the communique said, and have cap. tured or destroyed three field guns, four mine throwers, nine machins guns, 16 Sub-machine guns, 5S trucks, three cars and three fufel trucks.

 chase" Woodruff said. When he already pays 27 per cent tax I don't see how, with a good con. science, we can force a man earn- Ing less than $500 c year to pay nlore."
 Rep. Daniel A. Reed, R., N. Y, the noly other committee member In town, was on-committal.
 There Is @ slight difference pe- tween house and senate surtaX rates on individual incomes, but 1t amounts to only @ fraction of one per cent and no trouble is expected in compromising 1t. House conferees are expected to approve the senate amendment permitting taxpayers with incomes Of less than $3,000 to figure their taxes from a simple, standardized chart prepared by the treasury. Corp. Taxes Similar
 Corporation taxes are virtually identical in the two bills, the senate adding @ fraction of a percentage point to the rates for small cor porations. The senate increased corporation surtaxes,O by one per cent, however.
 Both houses are in agreement on excess profits taxes, except that the senate eliminated special 10 per cent excess profits tax on corpora tions with increased earnings which could escape the levies under either the invested capital or average earnings systems of computation.
 There are numerous differences in excise taxes. The house voted a per cent levy on monthly tele- phon bills and the senate increased 1t to 10 per cent. But some items like continuation of the 1 1-2 cent per gallon federal gasoline tax with out change, doubling the present aut omobile excise tax to ' per cent, and the $5 a year use" ap- proved them in identical language. The senate eliminated a house provision to tax radio time sales and billboardS.
 The senate added an economy amendment authorizing creation of joint executive-legislative com mittee to investigate federal expen- ditures and recommend reductions.
 Mandatory joint husband-and- wife returns and new form of tax ing community property income were rejected by both chambers.

Shark liver oil is more potent in vitamin A content than cod liver oil and several shark liver oil preparations are already extensively used for nutrition of dogs, mink, cattle, hogs and other animals. It has appeared in capsule form at drug stores throughout the nation for human consumption.
 Increased demands for shark hides. which bring about two and Q half times the price of COW hides. has added impetus to the industry. The teeth and crystalized eye pupils iind a ready market as trinkets and curios. The fins make a coup con- sidered dellcacy by the Chinese. Even the backbones are made into walking canes and sold to northern visitors who come to Florida.
 During the past year at the shark fishery here at saleFno, 2 sleepy little town on the lower east coast. shark fishermen caught more than 0.00O sharks. This fishery ss the largest in the state.
 The freshmen here use open boats about % feet long equipped with automobile engines. Average days catch runs from 70 to bO' caught on giant chain trot lines from 1000 Co 5000 feet long, con- taining 900 to zoo hooks on chain leaders.

probably would prefer the United States to remain out of the war and, therefore, might try to avoid an incident which would tend to move this country toward hostilt- ties.
 No Identification
 There has been no identifica- ton of the attacking submarine, presumably because none aboard the Greer had a look at her. But MT. Roosevelt's charge of deliber- ate and unwarranted assault on the part of the undersea craft led, of course, to the assumption that he was convinced it was an Axis ship operating on what he emphasized at his press conference yesterday was the American side of the Att lantic Ocean. .
 Supplementary reports of the Greer incident evidently were re- ceived by the Navy Department to Illuminate some of the questions raised by the brief statement by which the nation first was in- formed of the attack.
 That first announcement did not disclose whether the attack took place in daylight or darkness-a factor of prime significance be- cause the Greer was a World War type vessel and might easily be mistaken at night for one of iden- tical type traded to Great Britain and now flying the British flag,
 But MT. Roosevelt settled that matter by fixing the time as broad daylight with good visibility. And the fact that there was more than one attack on the Greer seemed to emphasize his intimation that launching a torpedo under such conditions of visibility must be re- garded as deliberate,

 The shark fishermen of Floridt have never yet reported findint any human remains in sharks, but they do often find other curious ob- jects. A childs doll. a five-gallon paint bucket with chicken bones in- side and numerous fancy fishing plugs and tackle have been found. One giant shark caught recently had e SIPS fishing reel in its stomach.
