ened by what looks to be a victory
of major Importance in the North
African desert.
Asked whether American

dent said no, because this
operation was limited In scope
by both sides largely because
Of difficulties In transporting
men and munitions to n limit

Importance of the action on
Guadalcanal might be greater
than the actual extent Of the
fighting.
In response to a question. the
president said we must not get

Nine Billion Dollar Tax Program, To
 Be Felt By Everyone, Before Congress

WASHINGTON March 3 (AP) - A $9,610 900 war tax program which will be felt by every Am erican home" laid before Congress and the nation by Secretary Morgenthau He told the House Ways and Means Committee that the new taxes were severe in their impact and will be felt by every American home. War is cheap, but is million times cheaper to win than it is to lose" he said.
 The additional taxes he proposed would by themselV es be greater than collected by the federal govern men in any single year prior to l94l As down pay- ment on victory, Morgenthau asked the doubling of most peoples individual income tax rates, stiff that a single man with $2O00 salary will pay $230 tax. If he made million dollars he would only be allowed to keep about $00000 Part of the tax will probably be deducted from pay checks.
 Also recommended were higher taxes on corpora tons, plugging the so-called loop-holes in the new higher excise taxes; fifteen such items soda pop and cigarettes stier estates and gift taxes plus two bi
 lion in additional social security taxes to be specified later together with existing federal taxes. The secre- tary said this program will fulfill the Presidents bud get request for 27 billion dollars in for the ing fiscal year beginning July 1.

duties. Gen. George C. Marshall,
Army chief of staff, has informed
Congress there were many jobs that
women could do better than men.
