RUSSIANS PLAN FOR WINTER

MOSCOW-tAP )-Moscow re- ports much activity on the Russo German front, also that the Red army confined its attacks near Gomel, in the Mogilev sector of White Russia. AS the autumn rainy season prevailed over most of the long battleline the Russians kept up sharp scouting and snip ing activity and extremely heavy long distance artillery duels were being fought. Elsewhere along the front where the Red army lines have lodged against the German defenses along the Dnie- per river and the upper west bank of the Dvina river there seems to be a hull in military op- erations caused by the heavy rains which create virtually im- passible bogs in the vast stretches of country between the Dnieper river and the German frontier.
 The German high command re- ports in its official communicate today that there is considerable slackening in activity along the entire eastern front and reports only local fighting and Soviet attacks in the Kubon peninsula and the Caucasus with shatter- ing crashes here and there along the southern front. The Russian winter offensive is ahead of schedule this year as today they forced several crossings of the Dnieper river. The winter of fensive did not start last year un- til November 10th as against Oc- tober 3 this year. The line ap- pears to be generally stabilized as early winter frosts freeze new hard tracks sufficient to carry on winter campaigning.

WASHINGTON -(AP)- Sec retary of the Treasury Henry J. Morgenthau today asked con- gress today to provide an addi- tion ten billion of dollars to the half-year wartime taxes, taxing six billion from half of the in- dividual incomes. Mir. Morgen- thau advocated repeal of the Voctory tax included in the ad- ministration program.
 The appeal embracd also big increases in corporation excise taxes.
 Mir. Morgenthau presented his tax plan to the House Ways and Means Committee. It proposed on individual incomes to increase the rates now in effect and low exemptions consistently, so as to gather in an additional six billion and one half annually.
 The tax plan suggests a merger of the Victory tax and income tax. lowering exemptions for married persons from $1200 to Sll0O. Exemptions for Depend ents would be dropped from $350 to $500.
 The secretary plan would re- tain the $500 exemption for sim gle persons. lie plans to raise another billion, one hundred million through the revised rates for corporations. He hopes to forstall corporations "given fav- orable treatment"

ALLIES CAPTURE CITY OF TERMOLI
DEPARTMENT OF MINES REPORT

Although the United States has been rich in many of the com mon metals, we have been de- pendent on foreign countries for a few metals highly essential to OUT industries.
 - Congress, foreseeing the possi- ble loss of these foreign supplies in case of war, in 1899 made an appropriation to the Bureau of Mines to explore for strategic minerals. In the first year fol- lowing the appropriation, several eploration projects were started in Alaska. These were limited In scope to few minerals until after our entrance into the war.
 The U. S. Bureau of Mines established a district office at Juneau in 1943. Under Robert s. Sanford, district engineer, &C., tivities of the bureau have been greatly expanded The range of strategic minerals included in eplorations has been enlarged and a widespread search for thetr occurrence has ensued.
 Harold E. Heide. mining engi- oeer, was assigned by the bureau in 1922 to the explorations on the Seward Peninsula. Exami- nations and explorations were Started. at lTost--.Riys Cape. Mountain and Potato Mountain districts.
 To date the bureau has sys- tematicaliy trencfed and sampled several lode tin mines and com pleted approximately 5000 feet of diamond drilling. Over 5000 feet of placer drilling has been done in conjunction with consid- erable trenching for placer tin. The work has indicated an ap- preciable amount of tin.
 Approximately a thousand sam ples were taken and after as- says of these are completed we can make an accurate estimate of tin resources on the Seward Peninsula.
 Recently authority has been given to explore for other stra- tegic minerals on the Seward Peninsula and more attention will be given to these minerals in the future. Effective prosecution of this work will depend on infor- nation and cooperation from prospectors. miners and others.
 The bureau engineer believes that more attention should be given to prospecting for lode de- posits. Scheelite and cinnabar occur in placers in several To- calities, but apparently no effort has been made to find the origi- nal lode. The presence of mica and other strategic minerals on the Seward Peninsula has been noted and warrant further in formation.
 Inasmuch as the bureau does not have an organization for prospecting, it will be to the prospector's advantage to open up a new discovery as much as possible. An examining engi- neer must be able to make a rough appraisal of the possible extent and contained values of any deposit, in order to justify the expenditures necessary for its exploration.
 Much of the exploration un- dertaken by the bureau has been in cooperation with the U. s. Geological Survey and Territor- ial Department of Mines. The work has also received the un- selfish support of many local businessmen, miners and pros pectors.
 The mineral reserves of our country are being depleted and Alaska has a promising mineral
