81 have never seen one man take
such a beating" That is what q
c0mrade said of Marine Private
Eugene Moore, one of tank crew
attacked by horde of Japs ON
Gavutu island in the Solomons.
After hand grenade had been
thrown down the tank turret where
it exploded, Moore attempted to es-
cape. The bowling Japs kicked him,
knitted him, bounced him against
the tank. Left for dead, the marines
picked him up. Navy doctors saved
his life.

RUSSIA:
Desperate Nazis

Hitler seemed to have forgotten
his pre-winter policy Of consolida-
ton and defense as he continued
his smashing drive along the banks
OF the Volga. Battling desperately
to achieve it's goal before winter,
the Nazi war machine threw ev-
erything possible into the battle for
Stalingrad and into the Mozdok
area Of the Caucasus.
The Soviet army announced that
5000 German troops had been
killed in one days action on the
Stalingrad front. "Our troops re-
PEELED furious attacks by enemy in
fantry and tanks" the Red COM
munique said.
Battles Of local significance were
reported northwest of Stalingrad,
where a Soviet relief army was
moving toward the city. Fighting
was restricted largely to reconnais-
sance operations, the communique
said.
Major battles also continued in
the Black sea area southeast Of
Novorossisk, where the enemy
broke through to a highway. Soviet
troops put up stubborn resistance,
communicating at several points.
Field dispatches from the Rus
sian army said that men manning
long barreled armor piercing rifles
sniped at Nazi tanks engaged in
duels with Russian tanks.
German advances in Stalingrad
were the result of concentration in
a small sector of the city. An
other period Of pitched battle faced
the Nazis, with little likelihood Of
gain in that area, the Russians said.

FRENCH WORKERS:
Hired BY Gest0po?

The day of judgment drew closer
to Pierre Laval, chief of the Vichy
government, when he acceded to
Nazi demand for an increased num-
Der Of French specialists to work
in German war plants.
In brutal move to meet Hitler's
demands, the Vichy government
was reported to have naturalized 500
agents of the Gestapo to help round
up unwilling workers in unoccupied
France.
The report was announced by the
official news agency of the eight
ing French" followers of, Gen.
Charles de Gaulle.
The Gestapo agents were to be
sent in flying squads to the unoccu-
pied zone, there to cooperate with
Laval. Fighting French sources said
that Vichy must defy Hitler's re-
quest or face ever-growing violence
among Frenchmen. The same
sources said that SO per cent of
occupied France is anti-Nazi and
that 80 per cent Of unoccupied
France feels the same way, as COM
pared to $3.50 feeling a year ago.

TAXES:
Set O. Record

Everybody agreed that it was
coming but when the record break
ing 1943 tax bill cleared the final
congressional hurdle the public hest
tated for a moment to look it over
and then pushed on with their jobs
IN the nations war effort. Analyz-
ing the provisions of the bill as
agreed upon by senate and house
conferees in speedy action this is
what the public learned:
The treasury estimated that fed
raj revenues would be increased by
just under seven billion dollars
Sc, 1881, $3.50, 900, to be exact.
Normal income tax rates were
stepped up from to per cent.
Surtaxes which formerly ranged
from 6 to " per cent have now been
set at from Is to 81 per cent.
A new tax-called the Victory tax
was imposed on all income larger
than 1924 per year. (This meant
gross tax on all wages over $12
a week, although portion of the
tax will be rebatable at the end of
the war, the amount of rebate would
vary.)
Personal income tax exemptions
were reduced from $1,000 to 1900
for married persons and from $3.50
to $500 for single persons. Credit
for dependents at the same time was
reduced from $500 to $3.50.
There are many other provisions
to the bill but these were the ones
which John @. Citizen was going to
feel most directly. He would
notice, too, however, that there were
increased excise taxes on such items
as liquor, beer, wine, cigarettes, CT
gars, lubricating oil, slot machines,
Photographic apparatus, train, bus,
and plane fares. He would also no.
tice increased corporation taxes but
to the average citizen these would
hurt less, for they would be indirect
taxes.
Financial experts reasoned that
direct taxes would not be raised any
higher even though the U. S. war
needs become more urgent. Other
means of increasing the government
income would have to be found.
Many plans, including compulsory
savings, have already been given
careful study by the treasury de-
partment.

PACIFIC:
Showdown

There was new name in the dis
patches and official communicates
reporting the results of the show
down battle for control of the Solo
mon islands and ultimate suprema-
cy in the whole South Pacific bat
tie zone. The name was Buin-a
strong Japanese base in the north
ern Solomons. It was here that the
United Nations learned the Jap had
concentrated good share of his
striking power.
BUN is located on the southern
end of an island (Bougainville) and
is less than two hours away from
Guadalcanal by bomber and only
one days run for Jap ships. Yet
to reach this point, U. S. planes
based at Port Moresby, New Guinea
had to fly over 700 miles of noun
tains and then over miles of JAP
controlled sea. This was the same
problem that U. S. land-based planes
at Port Moresby and on the Austria
liam mainland had to face in helping
the marines, army and navy units at
Guadalcana1.
Early in the final struggle for both
points-Buin and Guadalcanal-U S.
scout planes determined how much
strength the Jap had actually gath
cred at BUN. They learned there
were large numbers of cruisers, de-
stroyers, transports, seaplane tend
ers, cargo vessels and a swarm of
flying boats. This meant that the
Jap really wanted to recapture his
lost positions around Guadalcanal.
This came as no surprise to the
U. S. forces for even last August
when the first marine deta chments
dislodged the Japs from that area,
military experts predicted that they
would be back and would fight hard
to regain their losses. And as the
battle for Guadalcana1 and the Sol
onions reached it's climax both the
Japs and the Allies admitted the
truth of such prediction. The re-
suits spoke for themselves.
Northern Front
One the opposite (northern) end of
the Pacific front U. S. army bomb
ers continued their almost daily
raids on Kiska, last Jap stronghold
in the Aleutians. These raids were
important because earlier reports
indicated that the Japs had rein
forced their garrison there and had
also been building new installations
at Gertrude Cove on the south side
of the island. 1t was believed that
when the Japs were chased out of
Attu and Agattu, two other Aleutian
bases, they took many of their sup
plies with them, preparing for last
