of studies Of proposals for strength
ening the anti-inflation program are
being made for President Roosevelt
under the direction of Judge Samuel
I. Rosenman, but that none has

ports that proposals for new board
to coordinate anti-inhation policies
are being worked out for the Presi-
dents consideration by Judge Ros-
enman, New York jurist who is a
close adviser to the President.
Mr.. Early said not only that the

Army Lost Chance
To Sink Jap Carrier,
kaenuson Declares
Says Navy Found Tosk
Force OFF Alaska, but
No Lond Planes Came
B, tke Associated Press

SEATTLE, Aug. Is. United
States bombers lost a chance to
annihilate a Japanese surface
force, including an aircraft car
rier, off Alaska last June because
of the unfortunate failure of
Army and Navy coordination"
ccording to Representative
Magnuson, Democrat, of Wash
ington
Representative Magnuson, a men,
ber of the House Naval Affairs
Committee, told interviewers on his
return from an inspection tour Of
Alaska military bases that failure
on the part of the Army command
to interpret literally standing naval
orders regarding enemy contact re-
suited In a delay which gave the
enemy an opportunity to remove
| itself"
The Army command responsible,
he added, has since been relieved
of duty, "and I am glad to say that
there is no possibility of this hap
pening again." The Army high
command in Alaska now, he pre-
dicted, would welcome Japanese
/ task force at this stage of the
| game"
| Awaited Land Based Planes.
THE Army command was located
within operating distance of the
Japanese task force" Representa-
| In
formation that it was notified soon
after the Dutch Harbor attack that
Navy PYB's flying boats had a
japanese carrier under continuous
observation, and that they were
waiting for the arrival of land
based aircraft to make the kill.
The Army command, however,
believed its orders were not suffi-
GENTLY broad to warrant sending out
bombing force at this phase OF
the battle without definite instruc-
tions.
"As result Army planes re-
manned on the ground, and before
naval authorities could straighten
the matter out, the Japs had slipped
away lIUIl
Later the Army did succeed in
making contact, but not under as
favorable circumstances as they
might have found if the response
had been earlier"
| Now Work in Cooperation.
Army and Navy officers in Alaska
are now working in closest Coop
Grafton, he said.
THE naval command itself has
been greatly strengthened with new
blood and experience. Communica-
tions are better, our bases are
rounding rapidly into shape, and
all the time I was there I never
heard the word defense mentioned
once"
Representative Magnuson, who
only few weeks ago was In active
service with the Navy as a lieuten-
ant commander, said he felt the
Alaska situation was serious but not
alarming, and that the Navy had
the battle of Alaska and the Aleu-
tians we'll in hand.
OF the battle in the fog bound
Aleutians, he said:
Its like two small boys facing
each other across river. Neither
one of them has a boat and can't

gion southwest of Stalingrad
famed out in a threatening new
drive today toward Astrakhan,
where the Volga meets the Cas-
plan, dispatches from the front
said.
Other Nazis made fresh progress
toward Stalingrad, forcing a deep
wedge" in Red Army defenses south
of Kletskaya in the Don bend and
pushing the Russians back even
further to the northeast of Kotel-
nikovski. which lies 95 miles from
Stalingrad.
The new threat to the broad
Volga. which is Russia's main
waterway, was considered as dan
cerous IL not more so than the
twin thrusts against Stalingrad,
great industrial city on the river.

At Kotelnikovski, the Germans
still were 245 miles away from As
trakhan, but the Germans earlier
this week claimed the capture OF
Elista, which lies only 100 miles
to the west.
1n Berlin the German high

Astrakhan is one of Russia S chief

Senators Ask Data
On Postwar Credits;
Tax Hearings End
Bill Must Soften Impact
Of High Income Levies,
George Asserts
b. TIE Associated Press.


Chairman George said today the
Treasury had been asked to submit
to the Senate Finance Committee
estimates of the effect on revenues
of proposed post war tax rebates
for corporations as we'll as debt de-
duction credits for individuals.
Indicating that he would be
guided largely by the net effect on
the revenue of such proposals, Sem
ator George said it seemed impera-
tive to soften the impact of high in
come levies written into the new
tax bill before it passed the House.
Il am convinced by responsible
and trustworthy testimony before
the committee that the rates of the
House bill require establishment of
some form of debt deduction and
postwar credit for both individuals
and corporations" Senator George
told reporters.
Public Hearings End.
The committee yesterday wound
up public hearings on the bill and
prepared to take a Today respite
before beginning work behind closed
doors on extensive revisions. Sena-
tor George expressed the hope that
the measure could be brought to
the floor OF the Senate early in Sep
tember.
One of the last witnesses was Dan
iel Driesen, appearing for the CIC
Maritime Radio Operators Union
the American Communicate ton AS
sociation, to protest against a pro-
gram proposed yesterday by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
calling for an per cent sales tax
and a per cent withholding levy
on payrolls.
The House e-approved bill would
add s6,27l ,000, 900 to yearly Federal
revenues, large portion of this
amount being obtained through
substantially increased income taxes
on individuals and business firms.
Individual rates would range from
10 to 88 per cent on net income
while corporations would pay COM
bined total OF As per cent in normal
and surtax levies, with excess profits
taxed at 80 per cent.
Would Broaden Treasury Plan.
The Treasury, itself, has proposed
return Of 10 per cent Of the excess
profits tax collections to corpora
tions after the war, and Senator
George and others have indicated
interest in broadening this principle
to include individuals.
The debt deduction proposal would
permit individuals to subtract from
their tax liability money they paid
on what might be called capital
debts, such as installments on a
home mortgage or the payment Of
insurance premiums.
The postwar rebates would not
affect the amount of money the
Treasury would take in Immediately,
since it would obtain cash anyway
in the form Of loan, but debt de-
ductions would cut revenues by the
amount allowed for that purpose.

1t. Gen. Henry H. Arnold re-
ported today that 1,010 American

of warfare and had definitely
shot down 100. In these battles
104 American planes were lost.
This doesn't include enemy planes
damaged, probably destroyed. or lost
on the ground" the air forces COM
mander said.
The general, who returned from
England to confer on matters con-
nected with the establishment of q
second front, told a press confer
ence that the American record
against the Japanese is typical of
the fighting abilities OF American
airmen wherever they have met
Axis enemy flyers.
Calls Equipment Good
There is ground for solid salts
faction In the record as it stands
he added. Our airmen are proving
themselves in actual combat, and !
can tell you, without reservation on
the basis of the factual record OF
eight months of war, that the equip
| ment our men are taking into war
is also good, in fact, a great deal OF
it is better than good; it is superior
in quality and performance"
Gen. Arnold indicated that the
battle record cited American airmen
against the japanese represented
every type of plane in action. The
figure does not include, he said, the
record of American Volunteer Group
in China.
Incomplete records, he indicated
shows the American Volunteer
Group fighting in China lost 81
planes in knocking down 218 Japa
nese planes. The number of plane.
used by the group in action wa.
not included in the record.
Aerial Front Question.
Gen. Arnold said the question ol
the aerial front in England was ont
OF getting sufiicient number O

Sure, we're getting the planes
over there every day, everybody
knows that" he added.
Difficulties in building up tn,
air force In England were explained
by Gen. Arnold. He said the Ameri

try but their actual pre- -comba
training is given them in co-opera

LONDON, Aug. 15.-A British
naval squadron bombarded the
town of Rhodes on the italian
island of the same name for II
minutes ursday morning,
Reuters news agency reported to-
day. Great fires were set and
extensive damage caused, Reu-
ters said.
A dispatch from John Nixon. Reu-
ters correspondent with the squad
ron. said the shelling was accurate
and perfectly timed, catching the
Italians completely by surprise.
The island is in the extreme East
ern Mediterranean close to Turkey,
and is the largest of the Dode-
canese.
Tells of Seeing Fires.
AS the squadron steamed away,
a big fire and numerous smaller ones
that sent up columns of black smoke
could be seen on the water front,
Mr.. Nixon said
The Exchange Telegraph Agency
said the squadron, under Rear Ad-
miral P. l.. Wan, carried out the
bombardment with the accuracy and
perfect timing of a postman deliver
ing the morning mail.
The British warships entered
enemy waters and approached the
target without being detected before
they opened fire.
Planes Aid in Action.
Reuters said planes co-operated In
the action, dropping flares, spotting
targets for the ships, and bombing
the airdrome simultaneously with
the sea attack.
Despite efforts of Italian shore
batteries and the presence of E.
boats, all our ships and aircraft re-
turned without scratch the Reu-
tiers correspondent wrote. Cooper
alton between sea and air forces was
perfect.
Exchange Telegraph said the Ital-
ian shore batteries did not reply
until after several salvos had left
the British guns, and then their
shells came singing over our heads"
Attack Described.
The Reuters correspondent, de-
scribing the attack, said:
TT must have been Rhodes

Orange and gold fame belched
from the warships and there was a
rumble of thunder as they fired.
Bright flashes showed where the
shells were exploding and after sew
eral minutes there came new
sound. The shore batteries were
returning fire on the ships.
THE interval indicated the de-
tenders were taken by surprise, but
their gunnery was fairly accurate.
Several shells whistled over our
heads while at least two salvos sent
up splashes very close to us.
For exactly IL minutes the shells
were hurled at shipping in the har-
Dor and targets ashore, the chief
OF which was a large -four mill.
Raid Executed Without Hitch.
Then the warships swept silently
away, leaving fire and columns OF
smoke as evidence of their visit
Motor torpedo boats were reported
