 However" he added, Eve havg also increased our air strength or that front and we have an edge on the enemy there.
 "In some places we may not have numerical superiority over the Jap- aneSe, but the quality of our equip ment and our men has been dem- onstrated time and time again to be superior to the enemy'S."
 The secretary said more than B. 600 Axis soldiers were taken prison- CTS in TuniSia last Tuesday when the British opened their new drive against Rommel north of Gabes. He promised the British success and American flanking actions would be exploited to the fullest"

 Some destroyed Axis planes were transport aircraft trying to supply the Nazis with gasoline.
 "Other bombing raids on Axis airfields in Tunisia. Sicily and Sar- dinia have resulted in the destruc- tion of i2O enemy planes caught on the ground during the past week, Stimson said.

 Democrats and Republicans are pressing a drive to force immediate action. Republican members made Q series of speeches on the House floor yesterday warning that the government stands to lost large sums unless some kind of pay-as- you-earn system is started before June 15, when the second quarterly installment on 1942 taxes is due.
 Democrats circulated their menl- bers with letter urging the ways and means committee to resubmit tax legislation without further hear ings. Rep. Clinton P. Anderson. R., N. M., author of the letter, said he has obtained 35 Democratic sigma lures and predicted that 76 Demo- crats would sign before the week. end.
 Force was added to the bipartisan move when House Democratic Lead- CT John Mccormack and Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin, IT,, both of Massachusetts, agreed that some action should be taken before the Easter recess, tentatively fixed for April IT.
 "I think it is very significant when both the majority and min- ority leaders reach such Q concluS- ion," Mccormack said.
 Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. O., of the Ways and Means coE1,- mittee reiterated belief that the pay-as.you-go question should be shelved pending disposition of leg islation to extend the Presidents authority over reciprocal trade treaties, but added:
