skipping a years taxes may
prove to be the crucial move of
hop-skip-and-jump into imitation"
Senator Connally shouted. Santa
Clause is here! He is supposed to
arrive on December Is, but under
this committee bill he would come
every day of 1912"
Defending the measure against
what he called external criticism"
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, OF
Michigan, one of the coalition ma
jority which reported it out of the
Finance Committee, asserted it was
untrue that the proposed cancella-
ton of full years tax to get on a
current basis would prove a boon to
the rich.
Sees Treasury Predujiced.
These external critics of the bill
are not to be blamed, because of the
Treasury's prejudicial, class-baiting
arithmetic on this subject" the
Michigan Senator declared.
He said all taxpayers would be
treated alike, except those with
bonanza" war incomes, who would
pay more taxes under the bills
windfall provisions
Naturally, he added, the large
taxpayer would have a larger abate-
ment than the smaller Garner sim
ply because he paid-and would
continue to pay-more taxes.
This complaint is, as a matter
OF fact, that we do not discriminate
against the large taxpayer" he de-
clared. That's the gist of this
class-baiting criticism. The Treas
ury says it's quite all right to abate
taxes up to the man with a $4,000
or $4,000 income, but somewhere
on up the scale it becomes all
wrong"
In its formal report yesterday, the
Finance Committee estimated that
its bill would cancel SO ,275, ,0O0, 900 in
1912 or 1943 tax liability, compared
with an abatement of s8,404 900 900
under the House bill.
That led Senator Wiley, Republi-
can, Of Wisconsin, to remark in de-
bate that it seemed like bunk and
hokum' to him to talk about can
collation. of taxes when you are the
same amount out of pocket either
way and the only year you win
would be when you died"
Senator Connally pictured the
committee bill as "a tempting sort of
thing which placed "a dividend on
lodging years taxes"

We want to get you and your chauf-
feur current and We are going to
give you s854,000 just to get you cur

When you give back s854,000 to

Senate almost evenly divided be-
tween the George proposal and the
measure voted out by majority of
his own committee.
Mr.. Roosevelt has expressed dis
approval of the 100 per cent
abatement idea, and the admins
tration furnished the major share
of the votes when the House twice
defeated proposals similar to the
Senate committee bill, the last time
by four-Vote margin.
The George substitute, in effect,
would put taxpayers on current
basis only after they had paid 25
per cent of the apated years tax,
plus their 1943 and subsequent years

Roughly, it would increase Treas

Eisenhower Analyses
Ruse That Paved Wdy
For Knockout Blow
lst Army Delivered 1t
As Enemy Looked for
Drive by Men Of 9th
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, May 13.-Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, reviewing his
six-month campaign in North Africa,
said today the final blow was struck
in a clever move by which the bulk
Of the enemy troops were held on
the 9th Army front while the 1st
Army got in the knockout punch.
The reputation of the 9Th Army
alone was enough to hold powerful
enemy forces in front of it," the
commander in chief said.
There was a peculiar circum-
stance at the end which Gen. Sir
Harold Alexander deputy COM
mander in chief in charge of ground
forces) took advantage Of In
many punches the 9th Army deliv-
cred hammer blows while the other
units served as the anvil. Because
of its efficiency. the 9th Army got
an enormous reputation, with every
one, including the Germans, ex-
pecting the killing punch to come
from it.
Gen. Alexander counted on that.
He built up the 1st Army and, to
make its (western front still strong
er. brought around some of the 9th
Army to the 1st Army front. The
Germans thought the real fight was
coming from the SOUTH
Gen. Eisenhower cited the sue
cess of this move as another proof
of the advantages of a unified COM
mand
All indications were that the Ger
mans were greatly surprised by the
thrust from the west and this led
to their disorganization and COL
lapse.
The Allied chieftain said the gov
ernments of both Britain and the
United States and the local French
have a real reason for encourage
ment and hope as result of this
campaign"

mo expenditure of funds can be
too large ii that expenditure is
necessary to win the war, or to win
it with a greater economy in time
and lives" the President continued.
But 1 cannot refrain from pointing
out how small fraction Of the cost
of the war is involved in all the ap-
preparations of money and use of
materials for war housing, par
ticularly when measured against the
contribution which the shelter of
war workers is making toward win
ming the war
IF the total outlays for war hous-
ing were regarded as part of the cost
of the plants in which the workers
produced, or the cost Of the mu-
nitions and war implements which
they fabrlcate. the outlays would
shrink to very minor proportions in
this proper perspective. But the cost
to the war effort, in delay and blood
and treasure, If decent and sufficient
shelter were not provided for those
who produce, would be great beyond
calculation"
Shelter for 3OO0,0 900.
Mr.. Roosevelt reviewed the war
housing program and said that
shelter had been or is being provided
for more than 5000 900 workers. In
addition to placements in existing
structures, he explained, the present
program embraces more than a
million and a half units of construc-
ton. which approximates twice the
total volume of home building in
this country "in better than
normal building year"
The President said that more than
half of the necessary accommoda-
tions are being provided through
more effective use of existing struc-
lures, and that another substantial
portion is being attained through re-
pairing or converting existing dwell
ings so they may house additional
persons. Only about two-fifths of
the need is being supplied by new
construction, he continued, and
more than half of this is being
financed privately. The President
emphasized that there is no room
now for any kind of housing out

Sharp Drop Revealed
In International
Harvester Sales
President Mccormick
Also Cites Uncertainty
Of War Contracts
BY the Associated Press.

os lllc ASSUCldleu PRESS.
HOBOKEN, NJ j., May 13.-FoWler
Mccormick, president of Interna-
tional Harvester Co., told stock
holders at their annual meeting to-
day that sharp reduction in civilian
volume resulted in a drop of 10 per
cent in the company's sales for the
six months ended April 3O-first half
of its fiscal year.
He said billings for the six months
were $l55, ,039,000, against $191 1850
in the like period last year, adding
that the company's ratio of war
goods output to civilian manufacture
had increased steadily and now ex-
ceeded civilian production.
Asserting that war output was
"unpredictable," Mccormick re-
ported that recently the Govern
ment terminated a contract for MT
tanks "just as the company was
initiating production on such mu-
nitions after make-ready period
of many months"
Since the tank contract was one
of our two largest ORDERS" McCor-
mick added, this termination will
necessarily have a considerable ef-
feet upon our volume of sales for
the remainder of 1943."
Untitled orders were placed at
about $4OO,Oo0,OOO. Mccormick said
The difference between that figure
and the s7O0,OO000O figure given in
our 1912 annual report represents
the net change caused by deliveries,
cancellations and new orders"
The executive said the company
was protected under Government
agreement on expense incurred in
the make-ready program on the
MT tank order and he believed the
company would not lose money on
that or any future cancellations

was sharing attention at the meet
ings with the prospective opening OF
another front in Europe.
Substance was lent to this spec
ulation by the disclosure that the
Prime Minister'S party included Gen.
Sir Archibald P. Wavell, supreme
commander in the India Burma the
ater; Sir James Somerville, COM
mander in chief of Britain's Eastern
fleet, which is based in Ceylon, and
Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard
Peirse, the theater air commander
These three direct the only land,
sea and air forces in position to open
a route for heavy movement of sup
plies to China-the Burma Road.
The enemy control of this road has
become of extreme importance for
two reasons:
First, the reopening of the Medi-
terranean as a result of the Allied
cleanup in North Africa so shortens
shipping routes to India that deliv-
cry of greatly increased material
there this summer seems certain.
Second, until those supplies can

be transshipped to the Chinese
armies and the American Air Force
In China the full weight OF Allied
military power cannot be brought to
bear on Japan's Asiatic flank.
Invasion Plans Believed Mapped.
The impression persists here that
the broad pattern of action in Eu-
rope has already been fixed since
any early invasion of the continent
calls for such masses of men and
material and such minute planning
of detail that the strategy must have
been laid out long before this.
Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Churchill and
their advisers might have to choose
between alternative master plans and
give final "go ahead" order, some
experts said, but even this is by no
means certain.
The situation regarding the war
with Japan appears to be much
more fluid, however, and most
authorities would not be surprised
If important decisions for its de-
velcpment we're reached at the cur
rent Washington meeting.
Theoretically, Japan Is now en-
circled, but the ring needs to be
drawn tighter and vital resources
ard bases must be cut off from her
before the encirclement begins to
squeeze. The only active threat
to the vital interests of the island
empire at present is posed by Amer
ican naval and air forces in the
pacific.
From Kiska Island, in the Aleu-
tions, down to Guadalcanal in the
Solomons and Port Moresby in New
Guinea, the Japanese must be con-
stantly on the move, using up ships,
planes, men and oil, even to MAIN
tain their present defensive posi-
tion They have no way of know
ing where promised blows will fall
from the east this spring and sum-
mer
West and north OF Australia, how
ever, the situation is different. The
Japanese so far have not been
threatened in their main and i'm
mensely rich positions in the Meth
erlands Indies and Malaga.
The japanese have a total force
estimated by some authorities at
about 100000 men. including those
formed into about IS combat divi-
sions Approximately one-third of
this force is tied up in Manchu-
ria, Korea and Japan itself; an
other third is in China and the rest
in Burma, Thailand and the South
and Southwest Pacific. Probably the
Pacific enemy's weakest point is in
the machines of war-ships and
planes.
American submarines have done
much to cut down her shipping ton
mage, even as American warships
and planes have battered her navy
every time it has dared battle. The
process Of attrition would be greatly
speeded up If heavy air striking
power from bases in China could be
brought to bear directly on the Japa-

At their meeting, Gen. Mac

Chinese quarters have been clam
