Speedy Motor Boats
Are RommeI' S Hope
To Get Supplies
Small Croft Are Hauling
Gasoline and Ammunition
To Ports in Africu
Bv LARRY ALLEN,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
WITH THE BRITISH EASTERN
MEDITERRANEAN FLEET, Aug. 8.
-Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rommel
is counting on speedy motor torpedo
boats and barges to bring what he
needs quickly: Gasoline and am
munition.
The sudden appearance of in
creasing numbers of these small
craft in the vicinity of Matruh and
Sidi Barrani indicates he is hoping
they can keep his advanced lines at
Ell Alamein supplied while Axis
cargo ships, escorted by warshipS,
pour materials and men into Tobruk
and Bengasi.
Whatever the enemy gets in by
speedboat to Matruh and Sidi Bar
rani saves just that much from the
long overland haul through sand
storms and blistering heat. That Is
why Marshal Rommel has clung so
| tenaciously to these two small,
shanow-water ports despite smash
| ing bombardments by the British
fleet and heavy nightly raids by
American and British planes.
British naval guns made Matruh
virtually useless for large ships,
while only small craft were able to
get into Sidi Barrani even under
the best of conditions.
Nevertheless, within the past fort
night naval air reconnaissance
shows there has been constant
line of barges and E-boats operating
about these ports. They have re-
ceived severe poundings by air and
sea, but still they come.

BERN, Switzerland. Aug. $50
many Germans have been called for
military service that the Nazls have
found it necessary to fill at least
20 per cent of home front jobs with
foreign labor and the total soon may
be increased to IS per cent, the
Basel National Zeitung said to-day
in a dispatch from Berlin.
The newspaper commented that
the Germans we're facing a problem
as the result of British and Amer
ican superiority in manpower. 1t

available 10000 900 adult males and
Britain 10000, 900. compared to 4o,-
600, 900 available in Germany, Aus
tria and the Sudetenland.
Germany, the dispatch said, is
trying to find a way out by placing
war contracts with factories in oc-
cupied and neutral countries as well
as by bringing an ever greater num-
ber Of foreigners-preferably skilled
workers-into the Reich.
A few months ago there were O.
100000 foreign workers in Germany
besides 100000 war prisoners who
were employed, the paper said. For
eign workers now total about S ,000,-
600. The working week averages
so hours.
The last official number of all oc-
cupied workers in Germany OF both
sexes was set at 24,084, 900 last Feb
ruary, but there has been a gradual
increase. especially In agriculture,

Women Voters Urge
Steep Tax Increase
In Lower Brackets
League Would Lower
Individual Exemptions,
Hike Rute to 30 Per Cent
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Steep increases in lower bracket
income taxes were proposed to the
Senate Finance Committee today
by the National League of Women
Voters.
In a statement filed with the COM
mittee by Miss Marguerite M Wells
of Washington, president, the Or
ganization urged that the full
amount of Treasury recommended
tions for $8,7O0, 100000 in new taxes
be raised by boosting rates in the
House approved revenue bill now
calculated to add s6,271 100000 to
Federal revenues.
Opposes Sales Tax.
Expressing opposition to a sales
tax, Miss Wells wrote the commit
tee that the bill ought to impose
heavier levies in the lowest income
brackets.
She suggested this might be done
primarily by lowering the excemp-
tions for individuals, particularly
the $400 allowance for dependents
approved by the House. The House
cut the exemption for single per-
sons from the $750 to $500 and re-
duced that of married couples from
$1.500 to $1,000.
The treasury has recommended
that the Senate Committee raise
the exemption for single persons
to 5000. retain the $1,000 figure for
married couples, but cut the deduc-
ton for dependents to $500.
Propose 80 Per Cent Rate.
Miss Wells proposed that rates of
30 per cent or more be imposed in
the lowest brackets of individual
income tax, compared with the 1s
per cent combined rate for normal
and surtaX levies voted by the House
to apply to single persons making
more than $962 a week and married
persons paid more than $23.0S
weekly
IF we do not have the courage
to do this" Miss Wells wrote the
committee, "a sales tax may be
necessary, but under no circum-
stances should a sales tax be con-
sidered in lieu of the income tax
recommendation of the Treasury
The committee was told yesterday
by Emil Schram, president of the
New York Stock Exchange that he
did not thing the Government could
depend on voluntary bond purchases
for war financing after this year
Mr.. Schram, who formerly was head
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, appeared to urge revision OF

Although American workers have
made a creditable record. outlaw
stoppages of work have been on the

stop" Dean Wayne L. Morse, public

clared yesterday,
Although they have not reached
any serious proportions, they never
theless are shocking to the national
morale and thoroughly in conflict
with the country's war efforts" Dean
Morse said
Voluntary Action Needed.
Understandable as they may be
to the workers involved, they are not
understandable to the American
people. They are going to become
even less understandable in the
days to come as our people face un-
flinchingly the realities of this war
They must stop. The most effective
way to stop them is by the way OF
the voluntary action of the individ-
ual worker himself.
He should remember at all times
even when some justiflable grievance
within his plant tries his soul ane
patience to the point of exaspera-
ton, that he must work on and not
resort, along with his fellow work
ers, to. a stoppage of war produc-
ton"
