Czech Government in Exile Hears of Further Nazi
 CrueIties
BY ROBERT DOwsON United PEess Staff CorrespondentD

London, December 31. = (UP) - A neutral power in- formed the Czechoslovakian government in exile today that all the relatives of it's president, pr. Edouard Benes, were seized by the Germans last October and sent to a concentration camp in Germany.
 That was one of the newly re- ported instances of Nazi terrorism
 The Polish government in exile received fresh evidence Of wholesale executions and deportations. Ter persons, 1t said were recently hanged in Hnopcnice; 70 in the Flock Dis trict; 14 at Pronary; 20 ct Jewel, and IS at JaSZupy,
 The German garrison in the Lub- lin area was in the midst Of plan to systematically exterminate the Polish population,

 Children, particularly those under six, were deported to Germany Their mothers were shot if they protested,
 Peasants resisted in many cases and were RbOt-i70 in the village ol Kitow, Germans from Russia and Rumania were settled in the eyacu- ated villages.
 The Germans apparently were trying to provoke a real tnsurrec- ton to provide an excuse for wip- ing out the whole Polish nation, the Polish government in exile said.
 Similar conditions were reported in Lithuania by the Stockholm newspaper Dagens Nyheter.
 Unrest was reported increasing ir Austria, and the British broadcast ing corporation said seven Aus trains, one woman, had beer executed.
 The invaders were having an ifl' creasingiy hard time ip Jugo-Slayia Radio Moscow reported that Jugo' glay patriot armies, in fighting east of Liyno, in northwestern Jugo- glayia, 70 miles from the Adriatic had digiodged 5000 Axis soldiers ant captured the villages of ShumitSf and Tomisiaygrad,

SIPS ,OOO, 900, 600 legal ceiling and bids fair to reach the latest gov- Iernment estimate of 1i3O OOO, 900, z 600 by the end of this fiscal year, next June 90.
 While the recent Victory loan campaign in which the Treasury borrowed 10,OOO, 100000 in 24 days was the most spectacular financing of the year, the war bond sales struck closer to the roots of Amer. lean life. As the year ends, 25,O0O,. !. 900 wage eaf1ers are buying these bonds out of regular pay. Since last January, 1, more than 5000, 900, / 900 worth of series ', P and c bonds and saving stamps have been sold.
 Record Financing Operation
 The 90.O00, GOO 900 borrowed b the Treasury in the victory loafl campaign this month was .tbe greatest single financing operation in the history of governments. It. nearest approach was the fourth liberty loan Of 1918 in which the 1 U. S. borrowed te,003,Oo0,000 fir 21 days.
 So successful was the victory loan campaign, in fact, that the Treasury coptenplates no ftirthei major borrowing before March oi April. Meanwhile, of course, il plans to continue sale of its wal bot6s, bills. and certificates of If1. debtednegs.
 Governmental receipts have mol kept pace with the spending rat of 1e42. Net receipts for 1912 vii stand near e16,O0O. O.000. 600. New taxes, including higher income lev. ieg, and heavier excise taxes, en. acted late this year will yield some increased revenue during 1o43 However. this additional revenue will fail short of making q real i'm. print on ver-molinting war costs
 New Tax Planned As the year ends, the Treasury il preparing new tax proposals to bt fubmitted to Congress after pres. sntation of the Presidents budge1 message. Treasury official if1sis they co not yet know what form t1e1f ITCDOSe0 new bA1eb VIII labs or what amount of additional reYe. nue they viii seek. It is believed however. this new program vii call for approximately Si5,000.. 00O. 000 more annual revenue thar present taxes represent.
