in a restricted area which lacks
the necessary breadth for de-
ployment Of a large force.
Retains Partial Initiative.
The energetic Russian thrust
against the Nazi-Rumanian
forces which are covering the
Kharkov area compelled the
German high command to with
draw several divisions and air
plane groups from the reserve
being held for an attack on the
Caucasus and to throw them
against Marshal Timoshenko,
who would have seriously threat
ened Nazi communication lines
if he had managed to occupy
the industrial capital of the
Ukraine. The battle continues
and in some sectors the Russian
field marshal retains the ini-
tiative.
In the opinion of military
strategists Marshal Timoshenko
will not risk more men than Is
absolutely necessary. His pur-
pose was to relieve the situation
in the south in order to permit
the Soviet forces to reorganize
across the strait from the Kerch
Peninsula.
Meanwhile, If he had been able
to catch the Germans insuff-
ciently prepared he might have
occupied Kharkov, but now that
important reinforcements have
reached the German Army there,
Marshal Timoshenko is likely to
slow down his operations in order

Evening star., 1942-05-23
BY MAI. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT,

The increasing rate of sinkings Of
merchant vessels in American coast
al waters is a cause for the gravest
concern. We are, indeed, approach
ing a state of affairs-admittedly
not yet so disastrous-as that of the
spring of 1917, when there was an
actual prospect of Great Britain
being forced out of the war by the
U-boat sinkings. In 1917, the intro
duction of the convoy system plus
American naval Intervention saved
the day.
Now there is no possibility of ac-
quiring great new naval ally,
though there is, of course, every
possibility of finding new methods
of dealing with Axis submarines.
We are engaged today in a great
world war, in which the merchant
ship is the very backbone of the
United Nations war effort. If mer-
chant ships can be sunk at rate
faster than we can replace them,
that effort will be hamstrung and
may be defeated.
These are the cold, hard facts.
They must be faced and over
come. They will not be overcome
unless they are understood not only
by governments, but by all the free
peoples engaged in this struggle for
freedom.
1t is not only off the coast of the
United States that merchant Ship
ping is going down, but in every
ocean Of the world. The modern
long-range submarine, the four
motored airplane. the mine and, to
limited extent, the surface raider,
are being used with great effect by
the Axis powers.
Basically the goal of Germany
is to defeat the sea by the land, as
Napoleon put it; basically. that is
Japan's purpose, also, despite the
fact that Japan is an insular and
naval power. for Japan is seeking to
consolidate her grip on the eastern
part OF Asia and to improve her
land communications with her con-
tinental ports on the inviolable Sea
of Japan.
Japan's losses of merchant Ship
ping have been enormous, and seem
likely to continue. Her leaders must
look forward to a time when she
will not have enough shipping to
maintain her island conquests;
when that time comes. she must be
able to move freely by land from
one end of her "co-prosperity
sphere to the other.
But In order to gain the time
necessary for their purposes both
Germany and Japan must continue
to attack OUR merchant shipping.
Every ton of it they sink is dis
tinct gain for them in this crucial
year 1912
Goods Piling Up.
1t Is all very well, and 1t is sound
reasoning, for us to turn from new
plant construction and other long
range projects and devote all our
material and all our energies to the
production of weapons and NUM-
tions for use in this year; but un-
less We also find the means Of
getting those weapons and munitions
to the places where they can be
used, they will be Of little value
Already the matter has passed be-
yond the stage of goods piling up
on wharves and in harbor- side
warehouses; now goods are accu-
mulating at the points of produc-
ton because there is no more
room for them in the seaports and
not enough ships to carry them
away.
Warehouse space is being engaged
in many parts of the country by pro-
ducers who are unable to keep their
production moving away by rail be-
cause there is no place to store it
at the other end of the line. All this

4.-Former Air Minister Guy La
Chambre declared today at the war
guilt trials that inadequacy of United
States aircraft production was one
reason French defense efforts fell
short.
He told the court trying him and
four others on charges of reSpon-

the war that he and former Premier
Edouard Daladier asked France S
purchasing agent in the spring of
1888 whether American industry
would be able to absorb the slack in
French production.
I'VE learned" M. La Chambre
said, that it was no more possible
in the United States than in France
to improviSe production on the spur
of the moment"
He said he was informed that all
American industry could provide by
April, 1889, was 100 Curtiss P-36

Castillo S Party Trailing
In Vote in Provinces
BY Il e Associated Press.

By II e Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, March 4.-Act-
ing President Castillo's hopes Of
gaining a clear majority in the
Chamber of Deputies for his policy
of prudence" toward the Axis were
chilled today as his Conservative
party candidates in the provinces
generally led in early returns in last
Sundays congressional elections, but
trailed in the pivotal federal dis
trict.
Deputy Paul Damonte Taborda,
head of the so-called Argentine
"Dies Committee" and outspoken
opponent of Castillo's foreign policy,
apparently had been reelected in
the federal district, which includes
Buenos Aires, and today, with the
contents of 80 out of 1894 district
ballot boxes counted, the Conserva-
tives were trailing both the Social
lists and the Radicals. The Radical
party of Damonte Taborda was
leading with 6,239 votes, the Social
lists had 6,035 and the Conservatives,
3,746.
If this trend continued, it meant
the Conservatives would win none
of the federal districts 18 seats
which they needed for a majority
in the Chamber.
The surprise of the election was
the strength of the Socialists. On
matters of foreign policy they gen.
orally have stood with the Radicals
Scattered returns indicated the
Conservatives would sweep most, if
not all, of the 13 provincial districts
outside the capital.

House Tax Officials
Favorable 10 Increase
In Income levies
General Sales Impost
Urged by Some os
More Painless Plan

By the Associated Press.
The staggering income tax In
creases proposed by the Treasury
for both individuals and corpora
tions got an unexpectedly favorable
reception today from House Ways
and Means Committee members,
although some thought the boosts
might prove too steep.
Those who thought the increases
were likely to be too severe ex-
pressed the opinion that "a more
painless" method-such as a gen.
eral sales tax-might be decided on
to help raise the $1,000, ,o00, 900 in
new general revenue which PreSl-
dent Roosevelt has asked.
1t was evident that the committee
intended to 60 ahead with plans
to write its own tax bill independ-
emily, even though it's members Tor
the most part appeared in general
accord with the broad features OF
the recommendations submitted yes
terday by Secretary Morgenthau.
Will Make Independent Analysis.
Secretary Morgentnau asked that
Congress raise 5000 ,000, 900 more in
individual income taxes-with a
doubling of payments in the middle
brackets-and another $1,000 900 900
from increased excess profits taxes
and a new war surtax on corpora
tionS.
Increased and new excise taxes,
revised estate and gift levies and
closing of tax loopholes would raise
the remainder, with allowance for
the revenue that would be lost be-
case of conflicting taxes.
Representative Duncan, Democrat,
of Missouri was one of those who
said the committee would want to
make an independent analysis Of
the prospective yields of various in
creased rates, as well as the sociolog-
ical and economic effect they might
have consistent with demands to
meet the war problem"
Two members expressed belief that
while the tax structure Secretary
Morgenthau proposed might be used,
the committee would see fit to scale
down some of the increases, even at
the sacrifice of part of the S70OO,-
000,0 900 goal.
Secretary Morgenthau fatty op-
posed a general sales tax during
his day-long testimony yesterday
and Representative Duncan OBJ
talned from Randolph Paul, the Sec
retary's tax adviser, estimates that
a per cent general sales tax would
yield $3,780,0O0,O 900 if nothing were
exempted. Should Federal, State and
local purchases, as we'll as food,
medicines, clothing, fuel and COM
'modlties now subject to excises also
be exempted. the yield would drop
to s153 100000.
With the committee in recess for
a lew days to digest the Treasury
proposals, members noted with fore
bodlng that they contained recon-
mendations over which they had
Wrangled before-such as compelling
husbands and wives to file joint in
dlvldual income tax returns and
removing the present Federal tax
exemption on interest from State
and local obligations.
On the other hand, they viewed
with satisfaction the Treasurys de-
cSlon to accept Congress Oft
repeated declaration that corporate
taxes should be based on average
earnings over a base period from
