British Try 10 Smash
Nazi Requirements
OF Subs at Danzig
U-Boot Buse at FIensburq
On Germun-Dunish Border
Also Is Roided by RAF
BN the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 13. The new
potency of Britain's air campaign
to drive the U-boat from the
seas by smashing Germany's re-
placements before she can get
them into the water is the story
behind the RATS sensational
daylight raid on Danzig Satur-
day.
That neither daylight, distance
nor foul weather deferred squadrons
of British bombers from sweeping
low over Germany on a 1,75O-mile
round trip in daylight showed that
the Nazis are exposed now to mighty
air assault any where and at any
time.
The test of the Danzig raid is
comparison with the dramatic day.
light air attack on the German
submarine plant at Augsburg just
last April. Only IL planes made
that stab, only half as far from
home as the former free city, and
only five returned.
The attack on Danzig cost but
three planes and unofficial indica-
tions that this was less than per-
cent of the attacking force meant
that at least 60 bombers made it.
On this longest and riskiest day.
light operation by the Raj so far,
the British sent out their Lam
casters-great, four motored bomb
ers which are the newest and highly
secret bomb-carriers in their air
feet.
For hours these tough planes flew
over Gervmany's heavily guarded
coast before they sliced down to lay
their heavy bombs on Danzig's sub
marine yards in the bright light
of the northern evening.
Other bombers at the same time
raided another ,U-boat base, Flens-
burg, on the German Danish border
400 miles nearer England than DAN
zig.
To get to Danzig, the British
bombers had to buck thunderstorms,
treacherous winds and icing for
hours over Germany's defense
studded home precincts.
This daylight sweep was far
smaller than the 000-plane raids
on Bremen, Cologne and Essen. but.
like them, it added a new problem
to Germany's worries about air de-
fense .
Flying no farther than Danzig,
RAF planes could reach almost any
city in Germany, strike into Poland
almost to Warsaw, into Italy almost
to Rome and hit targets in Western
Slovakia, Hungary or Yugoslavia.
BY its stroke the Raj expunged
Danzig from Germany's list of
safe" cities. The Germans had

revenues to about $4,000, 900 900.
The War Production Board reported
Saturday that war spending in June
alone was $4,123, 100000, or at a
rate of more than twice the anti
cipated total revenue under the new
bill.
For individuals, the committee de-
cided to increase the normal tax
from 4 to 6 per cent and to raise
the present to II per cent gradu-
ated surtax rates to 13 to 81 per
cent. 1t adopted collection at the
source provision by which 5 per
cent of an individuals income would
be deducted from paychecks and pay
envelops beginning in January.
Bill Lowers Exemptions.
The bill lowers exemptions of
single persons from $3.50 to 5000 and
of heads of families from 81 500 to
$1,000 The reductions do not apply
to persons in the armed forces.
After changing its mind many
times, the committee finally adopted
a new corporation tax program,
which would raise the present COM
bined normal and surtaX from 81 to
As per cent and would substitute
a fiat Sta per cent excess profits
tax rate for the present 35 to 50
per cent graduated scale. Having
backed down from a ce-apprOved
81 per cent rate, the members also
eliminated a proposal for postwar
refunds for corporations which paid
excess profits taxes.
At the last minute, a tie vote
prevented return to combination
of the higher excess profits tax with
the refund and 40 per cent normal
and SurtaX.
These corporate changes drew the
fire OF three acknowledgements
tives Duncan of Missouri, Disney of
Oklahoma and Robertson of .Vir-
glnia, Democrats, who contended
that the As per cent rate was "mur-
der" and the whole schedule would
be "grievous burden" for all cor
porations "and back breaking bur-
den for many"
Mr.. Disney and Mr.. Duncan con-
tended, too, that the last minute
vote to reduce the excess profits tax
rate TO 871a per cent left tax-free
too great proportion or the swollen
profits of many corporations.
The committee added about $780,
100000 more to the bill by increas-
ing excise taxes on such luxuries as
liquor beer, wine and tobacco anG
by placing new levies on pari-mutuel
bets and freight and express ship
ments.

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 13.
The United Nations must be pre-
pared for another japanese offensive
in the Pacific unless they themselves
attack Japan soon, H. V. Evatt,
Minister for External Affairs, said
last night in a speech.
Il am convinced that if we do
not move shortly to the offensive,
Japan will" he declared.
He said he did not underestimate
the perpetual menace" of Germany
and that he recognized that the
theaters where the Germans we're
concentrating were vital, but added:
Eve must not be misled into a
sense Of false security in the Pacific,
Japan's power must not again be
underestimated. She is still en-
joying what amounts to a new
empire and the task of conquering
Japan is hardly begun"
Mr.. Evatt declared there is grave
danger in thinking that it is enough
only to hold the japanese "at bay"
THE japanese never stay STILL"
he said, "and when they seem
quiescent they are only gathering
strength for another spring. 1t is
suicidal to encourage the feeling
of overconfidence and complacency.
Until we are able to attack Japan,
we must be prepared to be attacked
by Japan in almost any part of
the Pacific.
Undoubtedly the position of Aus
tralia has been greatly improved
in the last few months. The danger
is that we will be misled by this
improvement into supposing the
stalemate in the Pacific is satisfac-
tory. Dissatisfaction presages dis
aster."

The Zero swerved upward, hung

down in a steep dive We yelled a
warning over the radiophone to the
rest of the formation. but I guess
the last plane either didn't see the
Zero or didn't have time to get out
of the way.
The Zero dived straight into the
fuselage and cut clean through the

The Zero itself was smashed to

There has been at least one pre-
