 It was estimated that between 900 and 1000 tons of bombs were dropped upon Germany by the RAF last night, causing devastation comparable to that of the heaviest Nazi air attacks on Britain.

 The air ministry said that the RAF dropped its most powerful bombs upon German objectiveS. These are new high explosive weapons of terrific destructive force.
 "Our most powerful bombs were dropped into the heart of the rag ing fires" said the ministry.
 Neither Nazl noght fighters nor the anti-aircraft barrage prevented the British planes from streaming over both cities in constant pro- cession, discharging their loads ct the specified targets, said the report.
 In addition to Bremen and Ham" burg, British bombers ranged over Berlin and Emden and other lesser Nazi targets.

 leum Industry Speaks

Washington, May Q. - (UP) - The Treasury Department will pre- sent to the House Ways and Means Committee next week a schedule for increased excess profits taxes, Chair man Robert L. Doughton, Democrat, N. O., said today.
 Doushton said Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr. had advised him that Assistant Secretary John l.. Sullivan would be prepared to tes. tify Monday. The treasury delayed presenting the excess profits pro gram in order to reach agreement with the staff of the joint congress sional committee on taxation.
 Tn submitting It's tax plan two weeks ago, the Treasury estimated that $400.000,000 of the required $3,O0O 100000 additional revenues could be raised by revising the profits levy.
 Two administration officials, mar riner s. Eccles, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, and Leon Henderson, Price Control Adminis- trator, urged that the profits tax be boosted high enough to produce $s0O, ,000, 600 to 9i,000, ,000, GOO. .u Petroleum Industry

 Fayette B. Dow, Washington, rep- resenting the American Petroleum Industries committee, the National Petroleum association and the Vest ern Petroleum Beginners association, appeared before the committee to oppose the proposed or1e.cent M' crease in gasoline taxes.
 He said this method of raising tax dollars to help meet the huge arms program would work great hardship on labor, essential trans portation industries and farmers.
 Tt is proposed to pay for two. thirds of the cost of this program out of current taxes" he told the committee, land we are not aware of any substantial disagreement With that policy.
