Taxes Can't Meet Cost
OF War, Vandenberg Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. "a.
Senator Vanderberg, Republican
Of Michigan, declaring that any new
form OF taxation could not even come
close to meeting the cost of the war,
said yesterday the solution ap-
parently would have to be found
lin some sort Of universal alloca-
ton of bond purchases.
1--WE have reached the point" ="
Senator Vandenberg said, where
the next important problem is not
how to get a few extra dollars in
new taxes, but rather how to get a
tremendous lot of extra dollars in
new bond sales"
Many citizens" he went on,
have responded magnificently to
the voluntary bond purchase appeal.
Many have not. The total Treasury
sales on voluntary basis up to De-
cember averaged much less than a
billion dollars a month. The Decem-
Der drive, on the other hand, had
spectacular success.
1T seems very clear to me that,
unless the December tempo of VOL
untary bond sales can be maintained,
the Governments paramount fiscal
problem In 1943 is the unavoidable
necessity for some sort of universal
ALLEGATION Of bond purchases"

Japs' Base al Kiska
No Threat 10 j. s,
Army Leader Says
Foe Held NeutroIized
By Our Gorrison in
Andreunof Islands

BY the Associated Press
SEATTLE, Dec. 24.-The chief OF
san OF the Alaskan defense COM
mand said yesterday that establish
ment of the American garrison and
an Army airfield in the Andreanof
Islands has neutralized effectively
the Japanese Aleutian base at Kiska
Col. E. D. Post, chief Of staff un-
der Maj Gen. Simon B. Buckner,
jr., said he saw no need to worry
now about Kiska becoming threat.
Army authorities in Alaska hold
two theories as to why the Japanese
seized Kiska, Col. Post said in an
interview.
1T is believed by some that they
really intended to take Dutch Har-
Dor. but fell back on Kiska as the
next best bet when they found we
had land-based aviation in the
vicinity" he explained. The other
theory is that they had always
planned to take Kiska as a sub
marine base. We've seen subs there,
but they haven't been active. There
has been no attack on shipping"
Col. Post reported that the troop
landing in the Andreanofs was CO.
ordinated so perfectly and executed
so secretly that the Japanese didn't
learn of 1t until two weeks later.
Since that time. the enemy has
made but one effort to attack the
American troops.
One japanese plane came over
in late September" he said. "and
dropped couple of bombs through
the fog at point about mile from
the military installations. There
was no, damage and no casualties.
The plane was not fired on because
it was out Of reach and out OF sight,
but 1t was heard"

Washington Is keenly interested in
the news Of appointment OF AM
bassador William Phillips. jr., as the
official representative Of the United
States Government in India.
Mr.. Phillips will not be Ambas-
sador to India. although he. OF
course, retains the personal title of
Ambassador. This title, once ac-
quired, is permanent and this fact
nearly kept Mr.. Phillips-who has
been Ambassador for some years
now having served in that capacity
in Rome) from getting the Indian
assignment.
The British, who perhaps under
stand the Oriental mind better than
we do, seemed to have felt that the
arrival of an American holding the
title of Ambassador would have
raised in India the question as to
whether the United States was in
this manner tacitly recognizing In
dian claims to national sovereignty.
The British government objected at
first, pointing out that India has
not the same independent status
as Canada and the other dominions
The rank of Ambassador could
not, however, be withdrawn from
Mr.. Phillips who, in all other ways,

BY IVES GALLAGHER,


WITH AMERICAN FORCES IN
NORTHERN TUNISIA, Dec. 20 (De-
layeO An American general who
has been taking part in tank actions
around Medjez- El-Bab declared to-
day that the United States Army S
75-mm. anti-tank guns are more
than a match" for the famous Ger
man 88-mm. weapon.
Our equipment equals the best
the Germans have, and they are
using tanks on this front so fresh
out of the factory that they have
gone less than 800 miles," the gen.
eral declared
While watching two British Spit
fires hunting a German air raider
In the clouds, the general reviewed
the fighting on this front and as
serted that raw American infantry
has proved better than more expert
enced German troops.
United States medium tanks also
have outfought the latest German
Mark Tvs, he added.
Infantry Morale Doubtful"
"In contrast to the doubtful morale
of German infantry, Nazi tank crews
have been fighting to the last man,
even after their tanks are disabled" !"
the general said.
In this, however, the Germans had
nothing on the Americans. for only
a few hundred yards from where
the general stood a group of Amer
ican tankmen who had fought on in
their Gen. Grant after receiving
four direct hits from Nazi 55-mm.
cannon shells were repairing their
tank in rainstorm so as to be sure
not to miss the next action.
Two of the crew had been wounded
In the engagement, but the remain
ing four were ready to 60 into battle
again. They included Sergt. Rolva
Cantrell, 26, Hodgenville, KY; Corpl
Robert Etier, %, NARROW, Okla, and
Pvts. Frank r. Banner. 25, Clare
mont, w. Va, and E. M. E. Wiberg,
%, Clay Center, Kans.
I'VE were hit four times" said the
freckle-faced Cantrell. You can
see one hit up there on the turret
where the shell glanced off. We
kept on shooting.
Suffered Heavy Damage.
First the top of the turret was
half knocked of and then two Of
our machine guns were knocked out
and two of the crew were wounded.
Then all our sights were shot of.
I'VE couldn't bring our remaining
gun to bear so we had to quit, but
we came off under our own power"
American artillery has been play
Ing major part in the actions near
Tebourba and Medjez- Ell Bah.
One of the difficulties in armored
fighting has been to restrain young
American tank crews from disre-
earding German defenses and tear
ing straight in regardless of risk.
They think their tanks can stand
anything and want to rush right in,
and have to be held back. They are
learning fast, though, that direct
hit by an 88-mm shell can knock
out any tank, no matter whose it is.
