LONDON, April l0-Britain's
first aircraft carrier, the 23year-
old Hermes, has been sunk in
Japan's undated effort to beat
down the sea and air shield
against invasion of India, but
the enemy'S total claims of vic
tory are too eXtraVagant, the
British admiralty said today in
communique.

sank the l0,850-ton Hermes
about 10 miles off Ceylon, a piv-
OF of British strength at the tip
of India on the western side Of
the broad bay of Bengal.

The loss of the Hermes came
soon after the sinking of the
heavy cruisers Dorsetshire and

To this the London admiralty

MASS ATTACK
Fifty-four h eavy bombers
roared over Clark Field at 10000
feet and showered the ground
ed planes, runways and hangers
with explosives.
Eighty-six Japanese Zero
fighters came in their wake and
straffed the planes, ground fore

low level attacks.
simultaneously other bombers
and fighters dived on the parked
planes at Iba Field They left
a roaring hell of flames at both
airdromes.
Some of our planes were saw
ed, but the main strength OF
our air force was gone.
/ SKATER u. S. PLANES
After midnight that night Jap
anese bOmbers came in over Ma
Mia Bay and, aided by flares and
fires set by fifth columnists on
the ground, attacked Nichols
Field on the outskirts of Ma
Mia, where planes assigned to
defend the Cavite naval base
were stationed.
Earlier Monday the japanese
air force had struck at American
outpost air fields strung upon
the western and northern coasts
of Luzon, even some supposedly
secret fields completed only a
few days before. At each some
planes were destroyed on the
ground in perfectly coordinatcd
attacks.
Japanese planes had been
flying over Luzon several nights
prior to the war. They had
been picked up by detcctors

Within a few days japanese
planes were operating from this
field. On Dec. 10, about noon
the Japanese attacked Cavite

management could expect might be maintained for 6 reasonable time in the future.
 Reduction Regretted
 While the reduction in the divi- dtnd is regrettable," he said, it is unacceptable in view of the pending tax legislation. While no definite and final conclusion can be reached as to what the taxes will amount to until Congress has enacted the tax bill, 1t appears probable that one or other of the prop osals discussed in the House, with some modifica- tions, will be enacted. That will mean that the Federal Income and Excess Profits taxes to be paid by this company for this year will range between $3.100,OOO and $3,4OO, 900 de- pending upon which of the plans is adopted. This is large increase over our Income and Excess Profits tax bill of $2,0OO,0OO for the year 1941.
 Certain rate revisions have been put into effect, but, unfortunately, they afford only small measure Of relief because the tax formulas that are being discussed are so de- signed that any benefits obtained through our stringent economy measures or in any other way mere ly serve to increase the tax bill. AS an illustration of this, the com- pany is now adopting the practice of reading meters quarterly, primar- fly for the purpose of saving gaSo- line and tires and manpower. The plan as adopted will result in gross saving of $66,000 a year, but of that saving the government will take in increased taxes, because of the saw ing, approximately $6O,00O, leaving about $6,000 for the company. !.
 Notwithstanding this, however, the company is adopting every measure of economy that is prac- ticable in these war times. Many of them will be in effect for only a part of this year, but they will, of course, be in effect for a full 12 months next year. The new gener- ating unit which Is being installed at Devon will go into operation, it is expected, on October l, 1942, and it's operation will result in a sub stantial economy.
 Income, Profits Taxes
 "The Federal Income and Excess Profits Taxes paid by this company in 1887 amounted to $449,596. The estimated tax bill for the same item fer 1942, based upon one of the House Bills, will amount to $3,333,- 453, an increase of $2,883, ,857. This increase in Federal Income and Ex- cess Profits Taxes alone is equiva- lent to $2.51 per share of common stock. The estimated taxes of all kinds for 1922 will amount to $5,- 12l,185, which is equivalent to $4.46 per share of common stock.
 Without attempting in any way to make any definite statement as to the future, the management has reviewed the prospects for 1943 and has every reason to beleive that 1t will be able to maintain through out the year l943 the dividend on the common stock at the rate just declared. This, of course, Is based upon the belief that no great in- crease in the tax burden beyond that now being contemplated will be imposed next year"
