Small Corporation
Surtax Boosted

WASHINGTON, May 4. up
The house ways and means COM
mittee today voted to increase the
surtax on small corporation-those
earning $4,000 or less-from 6 to
10 per cent.
The action was in line with an
increase in the surtax on big cor
porationS from 7 to 16 per cent,
approved by the committee last
week.
A surtax is paid by corporation
on all of its net taxable income,
plus any income it might derive
from sources not subject to normal
income taxes, such as government
bonds.
The committee also voted TO re-
tain the declared value capital stock
and excess profits taxes but to re-
wise these levies SO that corpora
tons need declare their capitaliza-
ton for only one instead OF three
years in advance.

SUGAR
LIN ES
FORM
Nv. Joins Nation
In Registration
For Ration Books

Every elementary school in
Imperial county became a
war rationing board Monday,
as millions of Americans, in
Guiding the valleys 10000
residents, began signing up for their
quotas of sugar.
Rationing books, first to be is
sued in this country since the start
of the war, we're being issued to
each individual member of a FAM
lily unit. Teachers in elementary
schools had been pressed into SER
vice as the four day registration
began.
Hours for registering were from
pm. to 8 pm. The schools during
the four day period are being oper-
ated on a minimum day"
County Sugar Rationing Coordi-
nator Guy A. Weakley reiterated
that only the elementary schools are
being used for the registration. A
person may sign up at the school
nearest his place of residence. No
registrations are taken at the high
schools.
Sugar sales have been stopped
for more than week. pending COM
pletion of machinery for the regis
tration. They VIII be resumed at
9:01 am, Pacific war time, Tues
day for those who have obtained
their ratien books.
The entire family doesn't have to
register, although each member will
be issued a ration book. Any adult
member-a person ID years or over
or any married person regardless
Of AEGEAN sign up for the entire
family and get a separate ratien
book for each membeI.
For the first eight weeks each
person will be allowed eight ounces
of sugar per week. Actual distribu-
ton, however, will be made by the
pound every two weeks rather than
weekly. The amount of sugar that
will be released after the first eight
weeks has not been determined.
The only persons who will not
need the ration books are members
of the armed forces and individualS
who are confined to institutions.
Members of the family away from
home. such as children at school,
are to be registered with their fam
lily units as individuals temporarily
absent. Maids. gardeners. patrons OF
boarding houses and others not re-
lated to the head of house must
register for themselves.
The OPA believes that the num-
Der of books distributed will not
exceed 13O,O0O,OOO although 10000
900 have been printed.

Sheavy blows In European waters.
According to a German commu-
nique, the Nazis sent warships, sub
marines and airplanes against
strongly-protected Allied convoy in
the Arctic, probably carrying Amer
lean and British supplies to the Rus
sian port of Murmansk for use by
the Red army this summer.
A British cruiser of 10000 tons
was torpedoed twice by a U-boat
and later sank and six supply ships,
one carrying munitions, was sent
to the bottom in series of battles
in stormy seas, the Berlin radio
reported. One German destroyer,
several British destroyers and two
other Allied merchant ships we're
reported damaged.
London had no official comment
on the Axis reports, but it was
said unofficially that intensified
operations in the north were expect
ed as result of the breaking up
of Arctic ice floes and that state
ment might be forthcoming within
48 hours
Although the British reported the
big German ships-Prince Eugen.
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau-dam-
aged so badly that they are out of
action for-some time. the Nazis have
a number of destroyers and perhaps
other surface ships to supplement
their operations from Norwegian
bases against the supply line to
Russia. The last previous battle on
that route resulted in the sinking
of a Nazi destroyer and the safe
arrival Of the convoy at Murmansk.
American as well as British ships
have been in the conveys to Russia
and probably were in the one re-
ported Monday by the Germans.
ALLIED OFFENSIVE
The German report conceded with
statement at London by U. S. Ad-
miral Harold r. Stark, commander
in European waters, that blows
against the Axis would be on the
basis of calculated risk"
Stark made 1t clear that the Allied
strategy would be based on hitting
the enemy as hard and as often as
justified by the losses that might
be expected but he emphasized hope
that American and British naval
forces would soon be on the offens-
i've.
The. naval developments followed
another Raj raid on the big Ger
man port of Hamburg and German
air fields ON Exeter and, repeatedly,
Hastings. The British air offensive
continued in daylight hours Mon
day with new raids on the European
coast and the luftwaffe made an
afternoon attack on British coastal
town, where damage appeared to be
extensive.
Developments from other fronts
included:
