dence that American air, armored and tank forces in Great Britain have received equipment sufficient for big scale operations as of today. On the contrary, dispatches passed by the British censor convey un- mistakably the judgment of experts in Great Britain that the U. s. air force there is receiving less than 1t requires speedily to establish an all-out fighting force.
 MT. Roosevelt is aware of that opinion here and abroad and he dealt with it last night.
 Various people" he said, "urge that we concentrate our forces on one or another of these four areas, (Russia, Pacific, Middle East and European fronts) although no one suggests that any one of the four areas should be abandoned. Ger tainly, 1t could not be seriously urged that we abandon aid to Rus sia, or surrender all of the Pacific to Japan, or the Mediterranean and Middle East to Germany, or give up an offensive against Germany. The American people may be sure that we shall neglect none of the four great theaters of war"
 Nevertheless. there are those here and abroad who argue that the present system of dispersal of men, and notably of airplanes, among the four fronts is preventing any one of them from establishing the overwhelming superiority which is

been destroyed yesterday TOT ah Allied loss of one.
 This indicated the extent to which the fighting had subsided.
 Dispatches, however, gave the impression that by means of rear yuard reinforced by strong tank units, Rommel was trying to main- .ain a bridgehead in the Allied mine aelds where he had made his tirst advance eight days ago.
 He had established posts around Sl1e Himeimat peak at the southern snd of the front and apparently was irving to keep a line running nortn ko nrotect his main forces against the flashing attacks of Allied mobile forces including tanks and armoreo cars, and to keep British artlllery put of range. -.-.
 CIondon military observers were cautious today regarding the situa- tion in Egypt, not wishing to make claims which would rule out the likelihood of a fresh German or tensive soon.
 (The conservative Times said the recent German setback should not be regarded as major British vic- tory because Rommel had made a deliberate withdrawal in good order.
 CThe general feeling in London was that Rommel might not be able to attack in force at once but that there was little hope also of Brit. Ish offensive to drive him out ol Egypt.)
 Over Dover Strait
 London, September 8. = (UP) = A bio force of Allied fighter planes Including United States Army p1- lots flying British Spittires darted across the Dover Strait today to con tinue a daylight offensive against enemy occupied territory in which American Flying Fortresses had the star part.
 watchers on the coast saw squad cons of fighter planes sweep over the sea at low altitude toward oc- cupied France and miles aooVe them where other plane forces cross- ing to the attack.
 Bursts of gun fire were soon heard inland from the 20-mile Bou-- lopne-Calais stretch of the coast nearest England.
 Bad weather kept Britain's giant night-shift bombers grounded but the Vichy radio reported that Rus sion planes had bombed Breslau, ln far eastern Germany, l8O miles

PARENTS HEAR OF
 SONS CALLANTRY

T wish that all of the American people could read all the citations for various medals recommended for our soldiers, sailors and marines" I" MT. Roosevelt said. q am picking out one of these citations which tells of the accomplishments of Lieut.. John James Powers, United States navy, during three days of the battles with Japanese forces in the Coral Sea"
 Mother Sensed Sequel she was about to hear a sequel to the navy telegram-"missing in ac- tion"-that she received June 23. Her eyes moistened, and her daugh- ter, Maria, 25, moved close to her chair
 The voice of MT. Roosevelt, telling of her sons gallantry, rolled on: ". flying a dive bomber in the face of blasting enemy anti-aircraft fire demolished one enemy gum boat put another gunboat out of commission severely dam aged an aircraft tender -. scored direct hit on a 200,000-ton trans port, and scored direct hit on an aircraft carrier which burst into flames and sank soon after"
 There was pride now, mingled with the grief on her face.
 lieutenant Powers said to them, Remember, the folks back home are counting on us. I am goilng to get a hit if I have to lay 1t on their flight deck," MT. Roosevelt continued.
 Lieutenant Powers led his flight down 18,OO0 feet through a curtain of anti-aircraft fire and Japanese planes. ell laid @ bomb on the flight deck.
 Own Plane Destroyed
 "He was last seen attempting re- covery from his dive" MT. Roose- welt said. His own plane was de- stroyed by the explosion of his own bomb"
 MT. Roosevelt said he had ap- proved the award of the medal of honor to Lieutenant Powers, and finished his story. When Mrs. Pow CTS felt that none was looking, she lifted her eye glasses and dried her eyes.
 Mrs. Powers said nothing. Her daughter, Maria, 25, an aircraft spot ter for the first interceptor com mand, said the family was honored.
 Please understand" she said. we've been proud of John all his life. He's & supreme persons. To us he did no more than we ex- pected."
 Lieutenant Powers had another sister, Betty, 20, and brother Will liam, g, cadet with the merchant marine, now somewhere in Eng land"

CONGRESS IS NOT
 so WELL PLEASED
(Con:Alued from Page D

(Con:1iued from Page D cation next week and buckle down to the job of passing the requested legislation in the three weeks al- lowed.
 But other quarters predicted that If Congress does pass the legislation requested by President Roosevelt, 1t would also include control over wages and salaries. The President told Congress that If 1t took care of farm prices he would stabilize wages.
 Some congressional observers however saw parallel between the reaction to the Presidents war i11- fiation message and the request he made of Congress in 1887 to reor- ganize the supreme court.
 Even Sen. George w. Norris, Ind, Neb., close friend of the Presi- dent and usually friendly to the ad- ministration's economic aims, "re- gretted exceedingly" that MT. Roose- welt had chosen to impose a time limit on congressional action.
 "I think a great majority of Con- gross would be willing to repeal the prohibitions that prevent imposition of farm price ceilings at levels higher than 100 per cent of parity, Norris said.
 Made It Difficult
 "But I am afraid the Presidents message has made the job of getting this legislation passed difficult. There Is a grave danger that Con- gress may now not act within the prescribed limits and the President will be forced to fulfill the terms of his message"
 Two farm organizations disagreed over the Presidents message. The National Farmers Union, which has consistently urged only parity prices, applauded and offered its support should executive action become nec- essary.
 The National Grange. however through its national master, Albert s. Goss, said it believed mo emerg- ency exists sufficient to justify the President demanding the type of legislation he suggests"
 Tn the Senate it was disclosed that legislation implementing the Presi- dents message was already being drafted for introduction when the Senate reconvenes Thursday, prob- ably by Democratic Leader Alben W, Barkley of Kentucky.
 Despite a move by Republican Leader Charles L. McNary of Oregon to channel the measure to the Sen- ate agriculture committee-keystone of the congressional farm bloc leaders planned to send the legisla- tion to the banking and currency committee, which handled the price law. The agriculture committee was to be invited to sit in on the bank ing committees hearings.
 Speaker Sam Rayburn after re- ceiving a telephone call from the President Sunday night was on a train from his ranch home near Bonham, Tex, and ordered call for the House to be in full dress session next Monday.
 Ordinarily, and this seemed to be no exception, proposed legislation as controversial as farm price reduc- ton does not clear Congress in two months. Since only g days were left for Congress to meet the Presi dents deadline, observers generally counted the chances of fulfilling the terms of the Presidents message as extremely thin.

President Roosevelt
 Reveals War Secret
Continued from Page l)

the prime strategy of modern war
 The president, iu effect, told the world last night that we could and would move against Germany in Europe = and apparently soon = without depriving other theaters of men and equipment. He warned that in this war it is ''kill or be killed" and that the Job will be Q bloddy one for us. But the pledge of offensive action in Europe was definite.
 The second front story waA brought up last night when the president reviewed the situation ir the four major war theaters and said:
 "The European area: Here tho aim is an offensive against Ger. many. There are at least do5er different points at which attacki can be launched. You, of course, dc not expect me to give details o future plans. But you can rest as sured that preparations are being made here and in Britain toward this purpose. The power Of Ger many must be broken on the battle. fields of Europe.
 "The Russian front Here the Germans are still unable to gain the smashing victory which, almost { year ago. Hitler announced he had already achieved. Germany has been able to capture important Russian territory. Nevertheless, Hitler hai been unable to destroy single Rus sian army; and this, you may bG sure, has been, and still is, his man objective. Millions of German troops seem doomed to spend an other cruel and bitter winter on tna Russian front. The Russians ara killing more Nazis, and destroying more airplanes and tanks than are being smashed on any other front They are fighting not only bravelJ but brilliantly. In spite of any set. backs Russia will hold out. and with the help Of her allies will ul. timateIy drive every Nazi from her soil.

 Except in the case of members of the armed forces, domestic serv" ants and agricultural labor, the new tax would be withheld at the i source and would be levied in addi- ton to the regular income taxes.
 The tax contains credit feature involving refund of part of the tax after the war.
 Postwar Credits
 These postwar credits would be allowed against the new tax: l. In the case of single persons, 25 per cent of the victory tax or $500, whichever is smaller.
 9. In the case of married per- sons, 40 per cent of the victory tax or $1,000, whichever is smaller.
 3. For each dependent, two per cent of the victory tax or $l0o, whichever is smaller.
 The taxpayer, however, would be permitted to absorb the postwar refund to pay life insurance prem iums outstanding as of January 1, 1922, debts contracted prior to that date, or the purchase of war bonds.
 Such expenditures, up to the amount of the postwar credit, would be allowed as a credit in computation of the tax.
 The plan also provides that tax returns would be filed on January IS instead of March IS.
 George said he offered the plan with the intention of applying 1t as of January l, 1943, but that the committee could make it retroactive for 1942-except for the "checkoff' collection feature-if 1t desired. He said that if it were adopted he would seek to eliminate the with holding or "checkoff" feature now in the bill, under which individual income taxpayers would pay in ad- vance on regular 1943 income taxes
 George offered his substitute for Guffey'S five per cent sales tax after the committee had voted 12 to c against the treasury's spendings tax program, defeated by substantial voice vote a proposed modification of it, and also shouted down pro- posal by Senator John A. Danaher R., Conn, for a postwar credit program based on purchase of stamps representing a 10 per cent retail sales tax.
 In the unanimous rejection of the treasury proposal, George said Sen- ator Robert M. LaFollette. Prog, Wis, and two or three other mem- bers did not vote.
 Later La Toilette proposed modi- hcation of the treasury plan by eliminating its proposed lowering of individual income tax exemptions and providing exemption for inter- est paid on homes and for rents, This was defeated.
 No record was made on the defeat of the tFeasury's proposal. All mem' bers of the 2l-man committee were present except Senators Alben ", Barkley, D., Ky, William II. 6na. thers. D., N. J., and Henry Cabot Lodge, R.. Mass, who arrived short. ly after the vote was cast.
