cial importance because of the pos sibility that these bases had been or could be used for long-range bombing to Tokyo.
 The main fighting was on a 2OO- miles front about 50 miles from .he important Allied base of Klnghwa, in Chekiang Province on the east coast of China, south of Shanghai. About 5000 Japanese troops were reported driving toward Kinghwa, but apparently had been slowed down or halted temporarily by Chinese defenders.
 This front is far removed from the scene of fighting in Yunnan Province, adjacent to Burma in South China. It is one of the many large and scattered sectors along the east coast where the Japanese invaders seized important cities but never were able to expand far from the main railroad lines in the inter- for. Many long areas along the coast also are beyond control of the en- emy.
 Second Important Front
 A second important front was de- veloping hundreds of miles inland, west of Kinghwa and about half way to Chungking, in Kiangsi Prov incc. At the Kiangsi capital of Man. chang, the Japanese were massing some 30O00 troops, perhaps for a pincers attack on the important town of Changsha, where they suf- fered a heavy defeat on their last military raid.
 Whether these offensives, coupled with other scattered Japanese drives, were designed to knock Chungking out of the war was highly uncertain, but such an ob- jective was doubted by American observers at the Chinese capital The Chinese official spokesman in the last few days have put special emphasis on the danger of the the Japanese drives and the need for Allied air achievements in China.
 Most observers at Chungking, however, pointed out that 1t would take the Japanese at least six months to reach Chungking and that Tokyo is expected to limit China operations to attempts to knock out Allied bases until after India and Siberia have been dealt with-if possible.
 On the Australian front, Amer ican and Allied planes attacked Koepang and Dill on Timor Island, setting big fires and destroying at least two enemy planes. Allied in. terceptors damaged four of 12 Japanese planes that tried to rad Port Moresby.

 coting in a doorway behind the bar, Lieut.. Pakul testified. Another bot- tie, half filled, was found on the cellar stairway.
 "When the first bottle was found Gasparri asked me if couldn't for- get about it." the lieutenant said.
 Several Complaints
 A number of telephone complaints and one written complaint have been received concerning Gasparri's restaurant, the officers testified. Pa- trolman Wagner said that in the kitchen of the restaurant he found a few eggs and few slices of ba- con. There was no fire in the stove and nothing was cooking, he caid. Patrolman Sullivan, who found both bottles, said that one was secreted in the wall and would not have been found but for a piece of rag sticking out between the cracks. Efforts of Attorney Tobin to bring testimony from the three officers that both bottles were dusty were all unsuccessful.
 Casparri did not take the stand in his own defense. nor did he offer any evidence.

DUKE OF BEDFORD
 DEFENDS HITLER
Continued from Page D

In October, 194l, the Duke pub lished pamphlet, What A Camel" Calling for peace between Britain and Germany and defending Hitler against accusations that the Nazi regime is fighting for wofld domin- ati0n.
 A few days after the pamphlet appeared the Russell Square Statue of Francis, Fifth Duke of Bedford was daubed with yellow paint and plaStered with signs deriding the present Duke as a "Quisling."
 The Duke has contended that Hit Ter is merely an "untested" mar whom the people should try to un- derstand before they condemn him
 T see Hitler as an untested man with whom it is neither necessary nor sensible to quarrel until he i; tested by the only test worth mak- ing-wise, practical, genuine friend. liness," Bedford said last November in his publication, Peace News.
 Labor Party Strong
 During today's House of Lordl debate Laborite member Lorc Nathan said that Britain,s Labor party will refuse to negotiate any postwar settlement with a govern ment headed by Hitler.
 Viscount Cranborne, government spokesman, gave 8 pledge that the government never will make a nego- tiated peace with Germany-a re- iteration of Prime Minister Winston Churchill's stand.
 "A negotiated peace with the Nazis would be an objectionable betrayal of our own country and the world in general" he said.
 Lord Nathan spoke in the same vein.
 we will refuse to negotiate with the Hitler government and will in- sist upon the decisive destruction of the power of German militarisIn,' ? he declared. 'The Labor party is determined upon a total, complete and unmistakeable victory for which there can be no going back"
 Nathan agreed, however, that q spirit of justice without revenge should prevail during peace negotia- tions.
 "The Labor party will not be q party to any peace of revenge, but justice might be stern and remand retribution on Germany" he said.

"What surprised us was the des- perate retreat of the enemy. (The Japanese spokesman then went into a dissertation about American secrecy in an obvious effort to lead Washington into giving out infor- nation that might be of vital im- portance to Japan).
 "The Coral Sea has become our patrol zone. This should make clear who was victorious"
 (The spokesman's talk, in gen. eral, summed up earlier Japanese claims which had been largely de- nied by Washington. The broadcast from Tokyo indicated the Japanese were extremely anxious for more information about the battle and that every propaganda device was being used in an effort to get Wash- ington to reveal something).

DAMAGE VERDICT
 WAS GIVEN SLASH
Judge Thought $45,OOO Too High; So Jury Cut
 Off $l5,OOO

Hartford, Conn.,, May 21-(UP)- A superior court jury late last night awarded $30,000 damages to Rob- ert Danahy, 19, Buffalo, N. r., for injuries suffered in an automobile accident March 3, 1940, at Orange. The defendants in the case were Frank c. Cuneo, 21, and his father, Columbus ?. Cuneo, of the Chicago printing family. Young Cuneo was the driver of the car which crashed, and Danahy and Thomas Cathcart, Jr., l9, New York, were passengers.
 Cathcart was awarded damages of $2,0OO in a companion suit.
 The jury first brought in a $45,- 900 verdict for Danahy, but Judge John H. King: directed the jury to reconsider because "the amount seems so large that am going to ask that you retire and reconsider your verdict
 It took the jury 27 minutes to bring the damages down from 445,- 900 to S3O,O00. Danahy sought e200,- GOO damages and Cathcart e2O.0OO.

DOUBLE, TRIPLE
 ALL INCOME TAXES
(Continued from Page 1)

The committees decision on in- come taxe rates was announced late yesterday. It will bring an ad- ditional $2,750,000,0OO into the treasury.
 By indirection the committee re- Jected President Roosevelt'S recom- mendation to Congress that no per- son be allowed to retain for his own use more than $25, 1000, after taxes.
 It voted to start 81 per cent sur- taxes on income in excess of $2OO.- 900, but the new rates would per- init 8 taxpayer to retain nearly $100,0O0 if he earns $5O0,OOO. To be able to keep $25, 900 a taxpayer would have to earn $50,00O.
 Day of Reckoning
 For Americans earning up to $10,O00, whether or not tax with holding is finally adopted, March 15, 1943 will be a day of reckoning like it never was before.
 A couple with, no children and an income of 5000 would pay $3o6 under the committee rates. This year 1t paid $138. (These figures do not take into account deductions that the family might be able to make for contributions, interest, etc)
 A family with 5000 income and two children would pay $162. This year 1t paid $58.
 It will cost a single person with no dependents $447 to earn $3,O00 If the committee rates are finally adopted by the House and Senate This year such taxpayer paid $221.
 Until this year 8 family with no children and an income of $500 paid no taxes, the committees rates would make that family owe the government $45. The committee has reduced the personal exemption for such family to $1,20O.
 But in the income brackets up to 5000, the blow can be much worse if the rates originally proposed by the treasury are adopted.
 The treasury recommended break ing Up the first surtax bracket of $2,O00 into four new brackets so that the rate on taxable income between $l 800 and 5000 would have been 22 per cent. The committee re- tained the present bracket and im- posed only a 12 per cent surtax rate on it.
 The surtaxes voted by the com- mittee yesterday would apply to all income over the taxpayers personal exemptions and legal deductions. There is no earned income credit for glrtaxes.
