House Committee Votes
Higher Cigarette Tax
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee decided today to increase the
Federal tax on cigarettes from 6la
cents to 7 cents package in order
to raise SIS, 100000.
Chairman Doughton said the COM
mittee had tentatively agreed to
raise the present s3.25 per 1000 tax
to $3.50 and had rejected Treasury
proposal that a tax differential be
established between 10-cent brands
and 15-cent brands.
Representative Doughton said the
committee planned to dispose later
in the day of Treasury requests for
increased taxes on cigars and smok-
ing tobacco, designed to raise an
other $40,000,000.
The Treasury had proposed that
the tax on 10-cent cigarettes be
made $3.50 per 1000 and the rate on
15-cent brands be raised to 81 per
thousand and its experts said such
increases should produce about
$188, ,0OO, 900.

Naval Expert Says
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC From japanese Broad
casts, June 11.-Japan's leading
civilian naval expert, Masanori
Ito, said today that in view OF
the great success" Of the Japa-
neSe in the battle of the Pacific
I'VE should not be disappointed
at the loss of two aircraft car
rierS, for the gain is far greater
than the loss"
This was the first authori-
tatlve suggestion from Toxic that
two Of the imperial navy's car
riers had been sunk, as officially
claimed by the United States. 1t
represented a shift from Toxic
imperial headquarters admission
that one had been sunk and an
other severely damaged)
Called Coup de Grace"
Ito declared the Midway and
Aleutian attacks Of the Japanese
were a coup de grace" for the
United States aircraft carrier force
while, he said, the Japanese fleet
remained only slightly affected.
His Interpretation Of the battle
was broadcast by Domei, japanese
news agency.
Even if japanese Army forces
had not occupied key points-which
they did, and the operations re-
portedly are still progressing in the
Aleutian group-the naval opera
ton in this area would have been
particularly significant in that it
destroyed important military OBJ
jectives which otherwise could have
been made foothold for AFRAID
ing Japan" Domei quoted Ito
(The United States has denied
there was japanese landing in
any inhabited island of the Aleu-
tians, so this claim by the Japa-
nese would seem essentially to re-
fleet concern over raids on the
japanese home islands,

90 In view of the great sue
cess Of the operations we should not
be disappointed at the loss of two
aircraft carriers, for the gain is fal
greater than the loss"
The United States has listed
only hits on one aircraft carrier

of victory last week in the Pacific
operations.

1l.-Part of the epic story of

1t is story of cool courage and

This part OF the story is that of

will supervise the collection of other
salvaged materials.
Meanwhile, plans were advanced
