an undeclared war against President
Roosevelt and against us the fedora
tion advertisement asserted
"They are doing this" the adver-
tisement went on, "by putting the heat
on Congress to pass the Smith-Ninson
bill and other dangerous legislation

"Try to Fool People"
"The Sixth ColumnSts are trying to
fool the American people into believ-
ing such legislation is needed to speed
up production and win the war.
Don't let the Sixth Column fool you.
What are the facts? President
Roosevelt and the heads of our war
agencies are in the best position to
know the facts. What do they say?
"They agree unanimously that the
Smith-Ninson bill and other proposals
of the same kind can do no good.
"They agree unanimously that such
measures will hurt morale, retard war
production and throw our victory drive
into chaos.
"Whom do you belieye-presdent
Roosevelt or the Sixth Coumnists?
"The sponsors of this legislation say
they are honest and sincere. If so, why
do they persist with ii when our Com
mander in Chief urges them to stop?
It's high time to cut such Sniping
against our President and his policies.
Let's get together on the one important
job before lIS--to win the war. Lets $

Straight From

Congressman at Large, Ohio

Washington.-It wonld not he a bad
idea for the Office of Civilian Defense
to concern itself with civilian defense
only and get out of coordinating code

Cost of Living
A ceiling on both wages and prices is
highly desired by most people and Con-
gress will take appropriate action. In
order to prevent imitation there must
be drastic price control. Don't blame
the farmers. They are not receiving
too much for their products, but there
is too great a spread on most products.

Fortunate Nation

the Union did not have fine leaders

Federal Sales Tax
The Ways and Means Committee of
the House of Representatives is now
considering the new tax bill. Many Re
publican congressman are proposing a
Federal sales tax. A sales tax places
the heaviest burden on the poorest peO-
pie. This is an indefensible taxa tax
of last resort. Taxes should be levied
according to ability to pay. Wage
earnerS, clerks, stenOgraphers, people
of low incomes have to spend their
money as they go along and conse-
quently pay q greater percentage of
their earnings in sales taxes than do
weather. people. The Ohio sales tax
imposed upon us when we buy neces-

restaurants and lunch counters is de-

Attack Suspect
Is Arrested
Soys Husband
Agreed to Act

A 22-year-old Detroit negro
will be returned to the county
jail late this afternoon for ques-
tioning il a 39-year-old Detroit
woman identifies him as the
man who attacked her Sunday
on a lonely road behind Co
wanie Golf Club while her
drunken husband looked on.
Arrested late last night, the
negro asserted he attacked the
white woman with her hus-
bands consent. He was mad
at her and wanted to get even,"
the suspect said.
The husband, also 80, denied
the charge when questioned in
the county Jail this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Steve Morris.
"A man couldn't pull that on
his wife. Why, she's the only
woman l ever loved. l think
more Of her than anyone in the
world. Even when we were sep
arated l gave her money and l
had scraps then with the guy
who was going with her." he
said.
The wife told Deputy Sheriffs
Thomas Kaltenbach that her
husband came home Sunday
after drinking all night, that he
insisted on going for a ride and
that they picked up the negro
on 10 Mile road near Harper.
The negro assaulted her after
hitting her in the mouth. she
said. Her h us b an d stumbled
over, said don't do that" but
was brushed aside by the ne
gro. she added.
The white man is held for in
vestigation in the county Jail.

ners on a seaplane tender lying
in the harbor knocked down two
fighters and bomber and hits
were claimed on others.
Unlike other occasions which
history may record, Dutch Har-
Dor was ready for attack with
everything but weather. Wea-
Their along the Aleutians is never
favorable for anything but get
ting lost.
Our Catalinas and the Army's
big Fortress bQmbers were out
searching even before the first
plane appeared. Within an hour
of the second attack one cat,
shopping through the drifting
wreaths and festoons of mist
stumbled on one aircraft carrier
lurking south of Umnak, the next
big island west OF Unalaska.
SPOT CARRIERS
BY midafternoon a second car
rier was spotted in the Boring
Sea above the Island chain.
A ranging P-39 Fighter en-
countered two Jap Cruiser type
observation planes in Umnak
Pass and shot one down in
flames. The other got away.
Other enemy planes were seen
200 miles farther east off Sand
Point on Popof Island in the
Shumagin group.
Dutch Harbor found the going
hotter when the second attack
materialized shortly after noon.
The first planes had stayed g.
600 feet up and dropped their
loads from that height with DIS
meager success as the Japs us
ually achieve in horizontal
bombing.
The second wave by three
closely spaced three-plane bomb
or sections was the Jap version
of dive bombing. American dive
bombers favor letting go all
holds and coming down in verti-
cal plunges. The Japs dive at
angles of 80 to 40 degrees, but
seem to do fairly well with their
method.
They dropped six sticks of
three 500-pound bombs each,
shooting for the Navy Radio in
stallation and fuel tanks. They
scored on the radio, putting 1t
out of commission for several
hours. They achieved near
misses alongside several old
wooden fuel tanks and managed,
believe it or not, to hit the only
hospital in 500 miles.

rival here on the morning Pearl
Harbor was attacked, never has
ceased to urge publicly the
opening OF a second front by
Great Britain and the United
States.
Now, however. it is reported
by reliable sources, he is not in
sisting upon a large-scale in
vasion of western Europe, but a
diversion of some sort either in
Europe or the far east. Soviet
fears exist not only for the re-
suit Of the German drive in
southern Russia but for the pos
sibility that Japan is about ready
to begin a major assault in ST.
IBERIA.
There is no official informa-
ton available on either this
country's or Britain's plans now
or in the future on second
front. And if it were available
II would not be possible for any
reporter to reveal it.
But there is feeling among
officials and observers that some
momcntous deeision-at least on
a limited second fronts being
formulated. Much of that is
based on the fact that London is
permitting news Of second front
conferences to pass through the
censorship which is taken here
to mean that some move to aid
the Soviet Union is under con-
sideration for execution.
President Roose welt and
Prime Minister Churchill are
publicly committed to coming
operations which will di-
vert German strength from the
attack on Russia"
Dispatches from the Soviet
Union have left no doubt that
the Soviet Army expects such
operations and expects them
soon.

Heavy Tax Program Eyed
by Senate Finance Group
Moy Link Post.Wor Rebotes to
100 Per Cent Excess Profits Levy

WASHINGTON, July 22-R)
The Senate finance commit
tee may be asked to consider
linking postwar rebates with
an increase in excess profits
taxes to 100 per cent and a
boost in other corporation levies
10 so per cent, an influential
Democratic member said today.
This member, who declined to
be quoted by name, said it was
likely such a proposal would
be laid before the committee
after it completes public head
ings on the house-approved
S6,271 100000 tax bill.
Hearings will begin tomor-
row with Secretary Of the
Treasury Morgenthau expected
to renew before the Senate
group recommendations for ad-
ministrative changes and addi-
tional taxes which would raise
the bills total by $4,000, 900, 900
to meet his revised revenue rec
concentrations.
In passing the measure Mon
day, the House voted to make
the excess profits tax 90 per cent
and declined to lower other cor
poration taxes from the As per
cent its ways and means COM
mittce originally had recon-
mended TO the 40 per cent 1t
subsequently suggested.
The proposal to increase these
rates to 100 per cent and so per
cent, the Senate committee
member said, probably would be
accompanied with a system OF
comprehensive deductions which
would soften the long-range ef-
feet on business.
These might include, he said,
provision for corporations to

New Gas Ration
Effective Today
New Coupons Go
Into Distribution

WASHINGTON, July 22-(P)
- Motorists in eastern states
began purchasing their gasoline
today by the new coupon ra-
tioning system.
To aid those late in applying
for the coupon books, the Of
flee of Price Administration au-
thorized filling stations to fur
nish gasoline until July 81 to
regular customers who agree to
turn in the coupons when they
obtain their books.
The service stations, however,
will be held responsible" for
such sales, said Paul M. O'Leary,

ing that they must turn in the
coupons to distributors i'm order
to replenish their own tanks.
The OPA officially valued the
coupons of A, B and c books at
four gallons each, at Ia gal
Ions in d books for motorcycles
and at gallons for ST. and So

They estimated that alta
600 additional tires would be

Russia

the initiative and counter-attack-
ing vigorously. The Russians
announced four bridgeheads
had been seized.
But the Russian press showed
that the greatest urgency was
before Rostov and Stalingrad,
both vastly important industrial
and communication centers and
guardians of approaches to the
Caucasus, oil lands and fertile
farms.
The loss of either city, it was
acknowledged, would be a
tragic blow, but by far the worst
damage would be caused by cut
ting communications. Stain
grad lies astride an elbow of the
Volga within as miles of the
Don and the Volga is the Russian
life line through which the
United States and Britain have
been pouring supplies via the
Persian Gulf route.
The fall of Stalingrad would
mean the virtual separation Of
the Russian northern and south
ern armies. The loss of Rostov
along with the presently Rus
sian-held section southeast of
Millerovo would mean the near
isolation of the Russian army Of
the Caucasus.
Oil-the likelihood OF mechan-
ICED war-would be denied to
large sections of Russia except
that which has been stored.
The fall OF both cities would
isolate many other southern
ccnters from aid in the north, so
vital to carry on Russia's resis-
lance.
The Germans are pouring
tanks, cannon, trench mortars
and planes into the battle zones
before Stalingrad and Rostov.
The Russians were summoning
all their strength at the front.
Significantly, the Red army in
troduced wound stripes recently
to decorate wounded soldiers
who return to the front.
REDS ATTACK
The Red army's courageous
stand at Voronezh has now turn
cd into daring countcrattacks.
These drives are helpful but
not enough to offset the impcnd-
ing danger to Stalingrad, the
Volga and Rostov.
The Russian man in the =
streets confidence, however, was
mistaken and there was not a
man or woman with whom this
correspondent talked who did
not express confidence that
Russia will survive this crisis.
Dispatches continued to report
that the Germans had numerical
superiority in men and machines
in all southern sectors.
