Storm Gates

Russians Admit Yield
ing Some Ground in
Crimea, But Deny Ger
man Claims; Soviet
Offensives launched
Elsewhere.

tBy The Associated Press)
Russia declared today that her
armies were storming at the
gates Of kharkov, the pitts
burgh' Of the Ukraine, and
other Soviet offensives were re-
ported rolling against the Ger
mans in the vital sectors Of Len
ingrad, Novgorod, Staraya Rus
sa and Moscow.
In the Crimea, the Russians
acknowledged yielding some
ground in the siX-day old battle
Of kerch peninsula but disputed
the Hitler high commands claim
of decisive victory.
Latest Soviet dispatches said
the Russians were now holding
a new line in good order, inflict-
ing heavy casualties on the Ger
mans.
The Soviet radio reported that
Marshal Semeon TimoshenkO'S
Ukraine armies had smashed the
German first line defenseS before
Kharkov and were advancing on
the city itself, imminently threat
ening the key nazi stronghold.
All winter, KharkoV has been a
major obstacle in the path of Soviet
counter drives.
The Russians said masses of Red
army reserves had gone into action
for the first time against kharkoV.
and declared:
"ENerything is being abandoned by
the Germans in great quantities on
the field Of action
Heavy fighting was also reported
raging on the Leningrad front, where
the Germans were said to have
thrown new siN-inch anti-tank guns
into action in a vain attempt to stop
the monster Soviet tanks.
On the basis of all these re-
ports. it appeared that the whole
1.2OO-mile battle line from Len
ingrad to the Black sea was
aflamc in a series of gigantic
battles which may decide the
war i'll Europe.
Adolf Hitler'S field headquarters
asserted that German troops in the
Crimea had won a smashing victory
on the Kerch peninsula and were
now relentlessly pursuing the de-
feated' Russian army,
The nazi command said German
bombers were pounding the port of
Kcrch and blasting Soviet ships in
the adjacent waters.

OF Measure
Is Studied
Secretary Morgenthau
Advocates That All
Who File Income Tax
Returns Should Pay
At Least Some Mini
mum Amount.

Washington, May 14.-(AP)
Secretary Of the Treasury
Morgenthau today advocated 4
minimum tax of "ScVeral dol
lars On every one who files an
lrcGmn tax return.
Under existing laws, millions
Of people whose personal eNemp-
tons and other deductions eN-
cecd their income pay no tax
at all, even though they have
20 lille returns.
Norgenthau said experts were
studying The constitutionality
of the proposal and if they found
a legal method of having such
a minimum. he would ask Con-
grcSS to enact it.
Later, Randolph Paul, top Treas
ury tax expert. sent word 10 me
press that there was n quosuU"
but what such a proposal would DC
constitutional Paul said questions OF
legality could be avoided by calling
the special minimum TAX an "eHclsc
instead of an "inCDnle tax.
The secretary pointed out tina
a similar tax has been proposed
by Senator George, Democrat.
Georgia. chairman of the senate
finance committee. who called
II an examination tax because
it would reimburse the Treasury
for the expense of examining
otherwise nOn-taNable returns.
At one point in the press confer
enCe in which he revealed the pro-
posal. Morgenthau suggested s. as a
suitable minimum, and estimated that
the Treasury could collect Sl0O,OOO,-
coo a year through this method.
'That's a tidy sum and we can
use it," he commented.
On Capitol Hill, strong behlnd-lhe-
scenes administration pressure was
reported against a general sales (aN

who previously had indicated sentl-

MEDICAL CORPS. Iceland. Aug. IL
This is an American Army hos.
pital somewhere in. Iceland"-and
even in this far north country 1t
does not need a pound OF coal or a
quart of oil for heating.
Natural hot springs are the
answer.
The hospital, nesting in little
valley surrounded by barren, black
mountains, is heated by water and
steam piped from the boiling springs
nearby. There's always plenty of
hot water for bathing, plenty OF
steam heat to kill the chill of the Icy
winds that sweep off the stark peaks.
The hospital, largest OF several
similar institutions on the island, is
a cluster of those elongated, half-a-
barrel shaped Army huts, now so
familiar wherever there is an AEF
These structures, larger than the
ordinary Nilsson huts which quarter
the soldiers in camps, are joined
together by concrete passageways.
New patients and visitors find these
corridors veritable labyrinths, a
maze in which they're hopelessly lost
until they pay attention to numerous
guidesigns.

Each hut used as a ward accom-
modates from II to 80 patients
Look into this one:
In this bed lies blond young
lieutenant from Chicago. Some
thing is wrong with one hip. He
can't walk. He became disabled
aboard the troopship that brought
him over here. About all he's seen
of Left Ericksson's homeland has
been through ambulance and hos
pital windows. The ailing hip hasn't
responded to weary weeks of treat
ment. He's due to go back to the
States.
Over in that bed is young Amer
ican fighter plane pilot from "Nawth
Ca'lina." With pronounced South
ern accent he speaks of thrilling
experiences in the air, of a buddy
or two who didn't come back" +"
He'll be seeing his bride soon. He
has a bad stomach ulcer and he S
going home for treatment.
This young redhead. his friends
say, is one of the best American
pilots in Iceland. A bigger and
better picture of his girl arrives
in the latest mail and makes him
happy.

diers.
I'VE shouldn't kick, though" one
lad observes philosophically Back
in the good Oh United States, unless
things get too bad, we can feel pretty
sure our families will be safe while
we get this job done. Look what's
happened to the Limeys' families
back in England, and to the people
of Russia, Poland, France and the
other countries"
A quiet little man over in the
corner bed mods vigorous assent. He
doesn't even know If his family is
still alive. He's Dane, first mate
on Danish merchant ship in Brit
ish service. He hasn't seen his wife
since the war began. Through the
Interns tional Red Cross he's re-
ceived three brief letters-the last
six months ago.

Hospital Well Equipped.
This institution compares favor
ably with many large hospitals back
home. 1t has an excellently lighted,
well-equipped spacious operating
room, elaborate X-ray room, a
laboratory for research in addition
to routine tests, and dental clinic
that can turn out full set OF bridge

The hospital was established and
their living quarters prepared when
they arrived. They escaped most OF
the hardships and discomforts the
first group of nurses encountered
when they landed in Iceland last
September, almost year ago.
The nurses took all these hard
ships in stride. "Of course" one
admitted somewhat wistfully," we
sometimes wonder how it would be
to have nice boudoir all to our
selves again and not have to live
six and seven in hut. but we really
don't mind the lack of comforts and
conveniences. After all this is war

Demanded by Union

Plasterers working on about
1900 privately-built housing
units In the Washington area
went on strike this morning.
A difference of 81 a day in pro-
posed wage increase has prevented
the signing of new agreement
it was indicated. Between 500 and
600 members of Local BAL, Operative
Plasterers and Cement Finishers
International Association, laid down
their tools.
Warren Dyson. president of the
Contracting Plasterers' Association,
said the un'Nn members won new
agreement last year, raising their
wage scale from SO to $1l a day.
They asked another increase of SO
a Gav to make the scale $l4 and
receded to $l3 when the contractors
offered sl2 day on all work signed
for after June IS, Mr.. Dyson said.
H. o. Kirby. business agent for
the union, could not be reached
for comment. In his absence from
union headquarters, a spokesman
said the union three months ago
served notice it would ask for $l4
daily scale beginning July and
later compromised on sl3. He said
the contracting group had offered
an increase of 81 to be effective this
fall.
This informant contended that
plasterers belonging to Local 96 re-
ceive a wage scale of sl6 day for

The exact loca ton of the fighting
was no5 disclosed, but the reports
said French defense forces had

the west coast about 300 miles south
west Of Diego Suarez, and that a
series Of clashes had occurred
throughout the last half Of June be-
tween Maiunga and Ambilobe which
is about 10 miles southwest OF Diego
Suarez.
The coastal road in this section is
the only place where contact be-

possible, the reports said.
The French were asserted to have
inflicted losses on the British last
night while suffering no casualties
of their own.
The British took Diego Suarez,
Madagascar best port, on the
northern tip OF the big island, early
