AT RAT ISLAND BASE, May 13. -Delayed) An alert Catalina pa trol boat crew spotted a Jap tor pedo wake off Attu, the second day of the landing of forces at At tu. The crew located the torpedo's origin and marked it with smoke flares and called destroyers which threw depth charges at midnight. They were effective and as the damaged sub surfaced it was blast ed to bits.
 Commander Lieut.. Jess Jolly, oI Turlock, Calf. and his eo-pilot, Lieut.. G.g1 John Murphy of Ja- maica, New York, told the story today, less than 12 hours after it happened.
 We were half a mile due west of battleship standing off Attu, said Murphy, when Jolly saw the torpedo wake headed for the battle ship,

MASSACRE BAY, Attu Island, May Delayed Fighting in the fog, American troops at Mas sacre Bay and Holtz Bay made pa trol contacts on high passes be- tween the two points and have driven the Japanese back to the heads of Chichagof Harbor pass where the battle is still continuing.
 Meantime, American guns bom- bard Chichagof Harbor pass and bombers drop tons of explosives. The Japanese have concentrated there, meeting troops from two at tack points. They are not yet there in great numbers, but the few Jap anese there in the top pass argue with them.
 Fighting has virtually ceased on the Holtz Bay side, but heavy ar tillery action continues on this side. Meanwhile the Americans have crossed the top pass leading down to Sarana Bay, where they have held vicious machine gun duels.
 A small body of Japanese are now partially contained in the Sarana area, roughly speaking, and are coming up from Sarana Bay, Mas sacre Bay and Chichagof to meet

AGREEMENT MADE NOW
 ON TAX BILL
Senate, House Conferees Break Deadlock, Make
 Recommendations

WASHINGTON, May 28,-Break- ing a seven-day deadlock, the Sem ate and House conferees late yes- terday agreed to a compromise on the pay-as- -you-go tax plan which will cancel a full years tax for persons owing less than $50, To percent of the years taxes, and others 20 percent withholding tax effective against wages and salaries to July l.
 This will bring taxpayers to the current basis of 20 percent still to be payable over a two-year period with the added 1914 and l945 taxes.
 Chairman Doughton of the House conferees announced the compro- mise.
 It is believed the compromise vllI be adopted by the Senate and House next week.
 Tn winding up the work on the pay-as-you-go tax system, the con- ferees recommended additional re- lief to smaller taxpayers with tine provision that persons with abate- ment on this years up to SCOTT get a flat $50 credit having to pay only the difference, the idea being to prevent too much dis elimination between those, for example, who owe just under $50 and those who owe just above $50

BERLIN, May 28.-Attacking with a force of nearly 100000 strong, Red Army infantry and tank men have forced the Germans to fall back on the frontline sector in the Ku- ban bridgehead The attack was made on a front several miles long and two millimeters deep, the DNB announces in a dispatch and broad cast over the Berlin radio.
 The German news agency said the defenses all along the Delta stronghold were battered by the attacking force that struck with thunderous artillery preparation re- ported made up of six Soviet rifle divisions and three tank regiments.
 DNB said the main attack was delivered against the German po- sitions between Moldavanskoje and Kijevskoje in the area of Krym- skaya," 20 miles above the port of Novorossisk.
 Other attacks are reporte d pressed south of Novorossisk and to the north along the banks of the kuban.

Centering our battle line, it now consists ot a half moon of patrols closing in on the top of Chichagof, with small portion of the half moon also en- gagged in trying to hold the Japa- nese in the Sarana area. These may escape over the hills to jon the main enemy force in a final stand. Some may already have done so, there having been little action recently on Sarana Bay proper.
 Massacre Bay troops the past two days have taken vital enemy posi- tions which dominated our valley advance and are now progressing through a welter of shell holes left by a week of naval and land gum fire which has reduced the Jap gun positions and busted snipers.
 Generally speaking, the most des- perate Nipponese resistance met thus far has been on the lower reaches, and on the highlands above Massacre Bay.

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert s. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. = Congressional leaders marveled at Winston Churchill's frankness when they met with him in closed-door ses- sion after his historic speech in the House of Representatives. At the start he said with a grin:
 Ask me anything you like. And don't be afraid to be critical. The more critical your questions are, the better. If it's within my power, I'll answer them"
 Congressmen took him at hls word, peppered him with questions for more than an hour. Some Of Churchills replies involved highly confidential military information and cannot be repeated. However, he answered all questions straight from the shoulder.
 One important point, aired so much in the press that it is no longer a military secret, is Italy and the probability of internal re- volt. The Prime Minister was op- timistic about the prospect of an inside crackup.
 He also emphasized the stagger- ing effect that taking Italy out of the war would have on Germany and Japan.
 Among other things, it would cause a collapse of Italian armies in other areas, such as Russia and France-and the Prime Minister revealed that Italy had around 10000 troops in the Balkans alone
