Naval Flyers Tell
OF Moonlight Raid
In Midway Battle
Jap Ship Probably Sunk;
Woshinetonion PiIoted
One Of a Torpedo Planes
Ey the Associated Press.

fy the Associated Press.
Navy planes, motors idling to re-
duce possibility of detection. glided
down paths Of moonlight to attack
the japanese feet during the bat
tie of Midway, the Navy disclosed
today.
In that moonlit foray, two enemy
vessels were hit squarely by tor
pedoes launched from the planes.
One, the Navy said, probably was
sunk.
The four torpedo planes, one
piloted by a Washington man, es-
capped unscathed from the attack.
But one ran out of gas en- route
back to its base. Down at sea the
plane and its crew f1oated for more
than two days before rescuers ar
rived. The plane, buffeted by the
waves, was severely damaged and
had to be destroyed.
lingswood, N. j., leader of the fight,
told the story of the raid in these
words:
THE leading plane gave the at
tack signal and broke off in glide
with engines throttled back. Target
selected was the last ship in the
first column. This ship presented the
largest silhouette and had been re-
ported as possibly carrier. At
close range, it was identified as
a transport or cargo ship of about
1000 tons.
Huge Explosion Reported.
THE leading planes tropedo run
wss made up the moon path and
from slightly abaft the enemys port
beam. We dropped our torpedo from
low altitude and at close range.
No opposition was encountered. I'M
mediately after dropping we re-
tired in a sharp right climbing
turn over the stern of the target
snip. Two crew lookouts in our
plane reported a huge explosion
and heavy smoke"
1t. q. g. Donald C. Davis. %.
Mercer Island, Wash, plotting the
second plane, picked the next ship
IN the column, but the vessel,
warned by the lead planes attack,
sWerved and evaded his torpedo.
Another plane, piloted by Ensign
Allen Rothenberg, "a, of 2170 Cort-
land place NV, Washington, lost
contact with the flight at mid
night, continued the flight alone.
and returned to base without con-
tacting the enemy.
Better luck was with the plane
piloted by Ensign Gaylord D.
Propst, 26, Los Angeles, and also
separated from the fight.
Attacked by Enemy Flyer.
"Close enough to the Jap fleet to
pick up the target usually" the
Navy reported, Ensign Propst also
coasted up the moon path to drop
his torpedo from close range. A
large flash and fame resulted from
the hit. During the withdrawal,
Ensign Propst's plane was attacked
by lone enemy aircraft, believed
to be a shipboard fighter, but the
Catalina escaped by losing itself in
the scattered clouds that were avail
able for cover"
It was Ensign Propst's plane, the
Navy said, which ran out of gas and
was forced down at sea.

Tax Bill Sponsors
Fight Off Changes
From House Floor
Debate on S6,144, 900, 900
Measure Brings Only 50
Members to Seuts
Ply the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press
Sponsors of the $6,144 ,000, 900
wartime tax bill in the House
held fast against any amend
ments from the floor today and
many members said the only
hope for revisions rested with
the Senate later.
Despite repeated calls for amend
ments, Chairman Doughton Of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
manager of the legislation, said that
as far as he was concerned, the bill
would pass Monday IN its present
form.
During desultory debate yesterday,
with only 40 or so members in their
seats, speakers suggested that vir-
tually every major provision of the
measure be revised, ranging from
corporation rates to removal OF the
present exemption from Federal tax
alton on State and local securities.
The proposal to collect income
taxes at the source, starting in jan
uary, provoked the most discussion.
Opposed Sales Tax.
Mr.. Doughton said he had asked
Randolph Paul, tax adviser to Treas
ury Secretary Morgenthau, whether
he would rather have the bill re-
main short of it's 100000, 900 goal
or have sales tax
HE said he would rather have the
bill stay short" Mr.. Doughton added.
He told the members that the COM
mittee had approved as high taxes
on all as it believed could be car
ried safely. He recalled that cor
porate and individual taxes, which
were only about $4,000 100000 in
1899. would be raised to $4,000, ,0O0,-
600 if the pending bill becomes law.
Called "a Billion Bill.
TN reality this is a $4,000, ,000, 900
tax bill" he said, explaining that he
believed it would produce $7,000.-
100000, while existing taxes are esu-
mated to yield SIT ,000, 100000. ~s
- While Mr.. Doughton said the bill
would raise taxes about as high as
the country could stand, Represent
ative Treadway of Massachusetts,
veteran Republican committee lead
er, declared that still more taxes
would have to come, and that a sales
tax eventually would have to be con-
sidered. Both he and Representa-
tive Doughton called for a further
reduction in non-war expenditures.
Chairman George has called foi
Senate Finance Committee hearings
to begin on the House bill next
Thursday. He estimated his COM
mittee would require from four te
six weeks for its studies.

OF Toilet Articles;

Home Owners Warned
Again to Convert Oil

Nv JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The War Production Board today
announced restrictions on the pro-
duction of toiletries. Such products
are placed in three classifications.
Production of baby powder, shaw
ing cream. tooth cleanser, eye wash
and several other articles may con-
tinue unrestricted, providing they
do not contain certain critical ma
terials.
The second classification contains
the articles listed above which con-
tain critical materials, and other
things such as cleansing cream,
cologne. bath salts, eyebrow pencil,
face powder, hair dye, lipstick, etc.
Production of these articles will be
permitted at 100 per cent of the
l941 rate, and the number of con-
tainers is reduced to 80 per cent of
the number used last year. This
is done to encourage manufacturers
to use larger containers.
Affects Theatrical Makeup.
Articles in the third classification
are restricted to 80 per cent of the
1941 production, and 70 per cent In
number of containers. In this group
are after-shav lotion, astringents,
bath milk, bath oil, alcoholic hair
lotions, mouth wash and number
of other products. Articles in this
group contain more critical ma
terials, such as alcohol, than the
second class.
The second classification includes
all the theatrical makeup.
approximately 5000 firms which
last year produced s2o0,000,00
worth of goods are affected by the
order. WPB estimates restriction;
imposed will save 17,400,000 pounds
of chemicals and other critical ma.
terials annually.
Articles affected used during the
first half of the year 100000 gros'
containers and closures, and 9O,000,.

Publishers Cautioned.

Publishers of newspapers and
magazines along the Atlantic and
Gulf Coasts were warned by Price
Administrator Henderson to resist
pressure from certain neWsprint
producers who are attempting to
collect higher than ceiling prices
through an illegal zone delivery
scheme.
Prices for newsprint, based on
zones for delivery, were established
by special price regulation. Port
prices for shipments, it was ex-
planned, to certain ports are fixed
on a basis somewhat lower than
those established for shipments to
surrounding zones.
Complaints have been received by
OPA that publishers who have been
paying port prices are induced to
accept newsprint deliveries in near
by, adjacent or surrounding zones
and are charged higher prices es-
tablished by regulation for these
zones

they ever wasted sugar. she says,

it in the kitchen, but the family piled
in the sugar just the same. So nowa-
days she does not sweeten it in ad-
vance.
Prepared desserts and cake-mixes
also help to keep down the family
consumption of sugar. From an ice

sugar and pint of medium cream,
