KALININ IS MOST ACTIVE
 RED FRONT
Large Local Attack Made by Germans Over
 Weekend
BY HENRY CASSIDY
Press Corresponden

Associated Press Correspondent KALININ, June 8-The Russian Army is holding it's spearhead thrust deep into Germany's side on the Kalinin front, northwest of Mos COW.
 This explains why the Germans are making repeated reconnaissance raids and desperately resisting the Russian attacks here, Red Army officer told me on a visit to this base, one of the most active along the entire 2000-mile Russian front. The Germans fear the Russian threat from the salient which stretches farther west in the Smo- lensk area, and are making every effort to find out the Soviet strength there. They are trying to keep a meticulous check on troop movements.
 The latest attack reported over the weekend was a reconnaissance in force and one of the largest local engagements of recent weeks in which the Russians repulsed an as- sault made by a full infantry bat talion, supported by artillery and tanks.

Enemy Apparently Must Go on Defensive-Is
 Opinion of Experts
NIPP0NS ARE DRAWN
 INTO TRAP AT MIDWAY
Extent of Damages InfIief- ed Depends on Future
 Course, Says King

WASHINGTON, June = After desperate new Jap efforts to break the growing might of Americans air and sea power in the Pacific, it is predicted in informed quarters that the only course now left to the enemy is clearly defensive.
 This startling prediction is based on a smashing United States vic- tory in the giant sea battle which started last week with the repulse of the huge Jap attacking force on Midway Island.
 Informed authorities said that the Japs must either initiate new operations along sweeping defense lines which run all the way from Alaska to Australia, or else by the inactivity of the Jap forces, admit eventual complete defeat. even be- fore the grand offensive of the United Nations starts rolling in the Pacific arena of war.
 Meanwhile, the enemy armada of battleships, aircraft carriers and cruisers, which steamed into what appeared to be trap at Midway Island, apparently has withdrawn.
 Admiral Ernest King, Command er-in-Chief of the U. s. fleets. de- clared that the battle just ending might decide the course of the war in the Pacific. depending, he said, cn the extent of the damages in- flicted on the enemy. According to latest reports, these damages are. extremely heavy.

 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON- and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = Not all tax dodgers are those who cheat the government of revenue. On Capitol Hill there is another form of tax dodging which, while violating nc law. is euchring the government out of more money.
 This form of tax dodging con- sists of congressman playing the sordid old game of politics as-u usual with legislation vital to the na- ton.
 Early in March the Treasury sub- mitted to the House Ways and Means committee the 1922 tax bill Prepared after weeks of careful study, the measure was largely the work of Randolph Paul, the na- tion's outstanding tax authority who periodically gave up lucra- tive corporation practice to serve his country.
 All tax legislation is highly con- troversial, but one thing can be said categorically about the Treasury s bill. It was carefully balanced program designed to distribute the burden of the proposed heavy tax increases equitably on all classes according to their ability to pay.
 SECRET HATCHETING
 For three months the IS Demo- cratic and 10 Republican members of the Ways and Means committee citing in closely guarded secrecy have been ripping the Treasury's bill to pieces with the end still not in sight. It probably will be an- other month before the hatcheting is finally concluded.
 Meanwhile this is what these poli- s-as-usual masterminds have ac- complished so far

Daniels Is Sill Big Chief with Roosevelt;
 Incident Is Revealed
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, June 8--JoSeph- us Daniels at the age of eighty suc- ceeded his son as editor of his Ral- eigh N. C., newspaper. That along with being secretary of the Navy for eight years. ambassador to Mexico and a number of other things should be enough for any one mans claim to fame in life time, but it isn't.
 The elder Daniels holds one more distinction which no other man does tand probably none ever will be able to) lay claim to. It hap pened this way:
 Back in pre-World War I days, Daniels got a telegram from the newly elected President Woodrow Wilson. The President asked If he would accept the post of secretary of the Navy. Daniels hesitated. He took the telegram home and discus. sed it with his wife.
 If he accepted, he speculatsd, how about his assistant secretary? There was young Franklin D. Ro- osevelt. How would he do? Mrs. Daniels thought he was splendid young man. Daniels carried his ac- ceptance personally to MT. Wilson. How about young Frank" Roose- welt for assistant secretary? MT. Wilson thought he was splendid young man. So Franklin D. Roose- welt became World War I assistant secretary of the Navy.
 Many years later, Josephus Dan- iels attended the inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt as President of the United States.
 When Presioe.lt fsosevelt saw him, he said: Hello Chief"
