RUSSIA FACES WORSE ATTACK BY JAPANESE. Second Front Will Be Fail- ure If Russia Is Given
 Death Blow PROPOSAL FOR ONE SMALL FRONT USELESS Allies May Find It Very Necessary to Make
 Strike Earlier
BY NED RUSSELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, July 21. = (UP) = The possibility of an Allied second front in Europe to aid the Red Army, particularly if Japan strikes at the Soviet Union in the Far East, aroused mounting specula- tion today as a result of secret conferences among American and British off cials.
 The conferences, in which Prime Minister Winstol Churchill was un- derstood to have participated, coirl- eided with statements by British quarters that Japan had massed about half of her armies in the north and was prepared to attack Siberia by merely pushing a button" whenever she chooses.
 The Russian situation resulting from the German offensive against the northern Caucasus admittedly had become so grave that some sources feared the Germans and Japanese were ready to attempt a "stab in the back" in hope of knocking the Red Army out of the war end making an Allied second front in 1943 too late to be effec- tive.
 Allied sources said they had heard nothing concerning reports abroad that United Nations forces would attempt a limited diversion" in western Europe. One expert con- mented:
 Any limited operation would hardly divert much if any German

CORPORATION TAX
 RATEFACES FIGHT
Senate Will Probably Give It a Battle Before Deci.
 sion Comes
BY JOHN R. BEAL

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, July 21. - (UP) - Strong Senate opposition developed today to the corporation tax rates approved by the House as the Sen- ate finance committee prepared to begin hearings Thursday on the 1922 revenue bill, designed to in- crease the governments income $6, ,270, 900, 900 annually.
 Chairman Walter F. George, D., Ga, described the combined nor- nal and surtax rate on corporations of 45 per cent voted by the House as "too steep" He said he believed the House had done good job on the affirmative enactments" of the bill, but added:
 T am impressed that the com- bined corporate normal and surtax rate of 45 per cent is too steep. It may affect production and over- looks the fact that many corpora tions have not increased earnings as a result of the war. Many are making less. A rate of AS per cent on corporations that are holding their own or losing ground is too high"
 George said, however, that high rates might be imposed if they were coupled with postwar savings plan -the compulsory savings feature which has been left out of the House bill.
 His views were supported by Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., who held that the normal effective rate was too high for a levy that in effect was 6 double tax to begin with, since (Continued on Page Q

British Situation In Egypt Much Improved
Serious Axis Threat to Middle East By Way of Suez Canal Is Lessened; U. s. Planes Helped to
 Turn Trick in Egypt
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE Of the United Press War DeSk)

While the news from the Don river front continues grave, the situation in Egypt seems improved and the serious Axis threat to the middle east by way of the Suez Canal lessened.
 Marshal Erwin Rommeps full strength may not have been re- vealed but it appears possible that the Royal Air Force, strangly backed by United States and South African planes, has turned the trick and Rommel may have to retire toward the Libyan border.
 It is certain that If Rommel can- not advance, he will have to retire, because the country in the Fl Ala mein region is not suitable for hold ing. According to a British com- mentary, the series of low ridges running roughly east and west be- tween Fl Alamein and the Quat- tara depression give wide field of fire over the surrounding desert and provide invaluable observation posts for mobile artillery.
 The importance of the ridges may be guaged by the fierceness of the struggle being waged for their pos session. Some have changed hands several times and on some of them the opposing force sare dug in on opposite ends of the same crest.
 The British have shorter and better communication lines from Alexandria, whereas Rommel has to bring up water, supplies and am- munition over long coastal road exposed to enemy fire. It is pos sible he may have to fall back as far as Tobruk to establish stable position.
 Attacks on supply lines by the air force, aided by units of the Rri- tish fleet, have caused great dif- ficulty for Rommel. His losses have been considerable in tanks, planes and prisoners and the British, su- perior in the air, are making re-

Bund Chief Kunze
 Pleaded Guilty

Hartford, Conn.,, July 21.- (UP) = Gerhardt Wilhelm Kunze, chief of the German American Bund in the United States, pleaded guilty in fed- eraI court today on charges of espionage for Germany and Japan.
 Federal Judge J. Joseph Smith continued the case for pre-sentence investigation.
 Ten days ago, Kunze entered a plea of not guilty to the in- dictment charging him and four others, including Count Anastase Vonsiatsky, with scheming to transmit vital military information to the Axis natoins.
 This afternoon, Attorney Richard T. Steele, appointed by the court to represent KunZe, who was unable to secure a lawyer, asked the court to ac- cept change of plea to guilty.

AUSTRALIANS GET
 THEIR HILL BACK
Germans Held Hill of Jesus for an Hour ; Then They
 Lost It
BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 In Front Line Post on the Hiii of Jesus Ridge, Egypt, July 20.-2 p. m.-(UP)-Australian troops re- captured the Hill of Jesus railroad station after the Germans held 1t for only one hour, learned today.
 It was 10 days ago when the Ger mans attacked the station with a force of tanks and they had been credited with holding it.
 But the Australians had counter attacked at once.
 Their new sticky bombs smashed the German tanks and their rifles, guns and machine guns and inflicted such punishment on the Italian infantrymen trying to hold 1t that the enemy fled.
 Driving along on the coastal road this morning. I found the Imperial troops strongly entrenched around the bullet-scarred stone huts of the station among the burned out rail- road cars, twisted tracks and she'll pitted limestone and sand.

 There were few Catalinas here when the battle began nearly two weeks ago and if there are more today the reason is not that the crews made prudent use of their lives and planes. Every day new plans arrive to replace the fallen.
 As might have been expected, the losses have been heavy-heavier than the censor would care to let me say. Everybody who knew any thing about 1t knew the Catalinas would have tough going against anti-aircraft and Jap fighting planes.

 Many flew out into the fog mad never came back. One was disabled at sea and when the crew landed and launched their rubber crash boats the Beros machine-gunned the American flyers on the water.
