Jeffers Asks Probe

Potterson's Assertion
Aviation Gos Output Is
Blocked Draws Fire

Rubber Director William M
Jeffers late today demanded i'm
mediate investigation of charges
made by Undersecretary of War
Robert P. Patterson that high
priorities given the rubber pro-
gram have so interfered with
production of high-octane gaso-
line that there is insufficient fuel
for all American warplanes.
Mr.. Jeffers said the charges made
by Mr.. Patterson in an interview
with Correspondent Blair Moody
and printed in The Star today SO
directly affected the war effort that
an investigation to bring out the
true facts should be undertaken i'm
mediately.
Meanwhile, Secretary Ickes said
he would continue to plead with
Economic Sterilization Director
Byrnes for bigger share of scarce
materials and equipment for his
100-octane (aviation) gasoline pro-
gram. Mr.. Ickes also said he would
ask the War Production Board for
speedier issuance of priorities for
the materials and equipment Mr.
Byrnes allots to him.
Earlier Fight Recalled.
In an interview, Mr.. Patterson
was quoted as saying high priorities
granted synthetic rubber plants
earlier in the year for certain COM
ponent machinery also used to
produce aviation gasoline had
caused anticipated output of high
octane gasoline to be reduced.
In Mr.. Jeffers' original fight to
obtain more equipment for synthetic
plants. he was thoroughly opposed

Labor Organizations

In Bond Drive
Concentrated Appeal
To Little Purchasers
Planned to Reach Goal

Twenty-four national and local
labor organizations of Washing
ton have purchased 1881, 300
worth of Second War Loan securi-
ties for their account, Frank Lee,
chairman of the Labor Division
of the District War Finance
Committee, revealed today.
But at the same time, War FL
nance Committee oficials !. an
nounced that bond sales to nom
bank sources here through Tues
day had reached $23,286,218.25, or
still 44.6 per cent short Of the local
goal of $42,000,OO0. =
They commended the labor or
ganizations for their fine showing
but cycling the national scene where
sales were reported pass the 10000
100000 mark, local War Finance
officials planned to renew their ap-
peals to the little man."
Extra Bond Urged.
If more individuals in the Dis
trict would buy an extra bond dur
ing the next nine days, before the
Second War Loan drive ends, off,
cials pointed out, the local quota
would be more than assured.
Despite the record outpouring of
funds nationally, Treasury officials,
including Secretary Morgenthau,
expressed similar disappointment at
the sales of bonds to individuals
and made plans to concentrate
more heavily on this group during
the next two weeks.
Up to last Saturday small bond
sales-series E, F, and G-accounted
for only s403, ,00O,O OF the total
collected in the first week through

House Delays Action
On Federal Pay Bill
Until After Recess
Stand Leaves Workers
Without Extra Wages
For Overtime Lobors
By WILL p. KENNEDY,

The House will delay taking
action to save the wartime over
time pay bill for Federal and
District employees until the men,
bers return from their Easter
recess May 8.
The present temporary overtime
pay bill, approved last December
automatically expires April 30. The
House possibly, on motion of Chair
man Ramspeck. of the Civil Service
Committee, may move today to have
the new pay bill, which would run
from May l until June 80, 1945, sent
back to conference with the Senate,
but it is more likely that even this
motion will not be made until after
the Easter recess, which is expected
TO- hegin after today's session.
Action Yesterday Responsible.
This was disclosed today by Chair
man Ramspeck after conferring
with members Of the Civil Service
Committee and the House leader
ship. This situation results from
the 163-to-155 vote in the House yes
terday rejecting the conference re-
port because the Senate had removed
the ceiling of $4,000 for the max
imum salary that could receive any
extra pay.
The present situation not only
prevents Government employees, in
Washington and throughout the
entire United States and in foreign
countries, from receiving any over
time pay but also causes much
trouble in every Government agency

New Price CeiIinqs
On Poultry Aimed
Al Black Markets
OPA Establishes Rutes
Expected to Benefit
Consumers
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

New price ceilings, expected to
bring substantial savings" to
poultry consumers throughout
the country, we're announced
this afternoon by the Office OF
Price Administration.
| The move was described as an es-
sential part of the campaign to
smash black markets.
| While variable factors in the new
controls make it impossible to pre-
dict to the exact cent how much va
rious kinds Of poultry will bring at
retail or wholesale in every city, an
OPA spokesman explained, typical
price estimates for base" markets
were listed IN the announcement.
Hauling Expenses Vary.
OPA said uniform prices were es-
tablished on many types OF poultry,
although these were subject to fluc-
tuations because of varying allow
ances for the expense of bringing
the product to market by truck.
The revised ceilings were described
as bringing marked reductions in
prices of more expensive birds and in
increases in prices of cheaper poul-
try"
Stricter control of prices charged
by farmers was provided.
Estimated retail prices for grade A
dressed poultry were announced for
New York City, one of the several
base markets in the country and the
largest. An OPA official said these
would be substantially the prices
which Washington housewives would
pay.
These estimated New York City
ceilings increase the price of broiling
chickens from 40.2 cents a pound to
43.8. Fryers were increased from ~
to 43.8 cents. Light roasters were
lowered from 1876 cents to 1873, light
stays from 1876 to 1876, heavy stays
from 41.4 to 1876.
Capons and Light Fowl.
Light capons were reduced from

to 47.4. Light fowl was increased

Tax
Showdown in House
Is SET for May ;
Royburn Announces
Date for New Vote
On RumI Proposal
BY the Associated Press,

Az eAS ASSOSioeCu 11SSSs
Speaker Rayburn announced
today the House would have a
final showdown on May 8 on
pay-as-you-go taxation, with
another vote on a modified Ruml
plan to skip an income tax year.
Mr.. Rayburn's announcement fol-
lowed abandonment of a bipartisan
move to formulate a pay-as-you-go
tax plan agreeable both to Demo-
Gratis and Republicans.
Regardless of which party's views
prevail, if any bill at all is passed,
two things appeared reasonably
certain:
/. That at least $1,000, 900 600, or
an overall of so per cent, of the 1912
personal taxes would be Cancelled.
2. A 20 per cent Withholding levy
would be imposed against the tax
able parts of all pay envelopes and
salary checks.
Compromise Move Fails.
Democrats, led by Mr.. Rayburn
drew up behind a proposal to
collect on 1912 income at the much
softer 1941 rates and exemptions, in
making the transition to a pay-as-
you-go system.
Republicans fought with a double
barreled gun-one side loaded with
modified Ruml plan to skip an en-
tire tax year, with certain safeguards
against windfalls, and the other with
proposal that would mean IS per
cent abatement on 1912 liabilities
for most taxpayers.
The Democrats beat down the
Ruml plan in the House three weeks
ago, 215 to 1913.
Subsequently, the two parties
sought to compromise. but efforts

Toxic Raiders
Call Jap Claim
Damned ne, Lie
War Department Soy
Another Attack Is
Decided Possibility
BY the Associated Press.


American raiders on Toxic
passed up good military objec-
tives in order to carry out their
specific instructions and any
assertion that they struck civil
ians or civilian industry is "a
damned lie," two of the partici-
pating pilots said today.
At the same time the War De-
partment explained it's reason for
delaying announcement of details
was because further raid was and
is decided possibility"
One of the flyers, Capt. Ted Law
son, 26, of Los Angeles, told a press
conference of flying low over a Jap
anese, carrier in Toxic Harbor. All
members of the crew began crying
Tets drop an egg on her." he said,
but he proceeded to his objective
two machine works and a steel
smelter a little south of Toxic.
No planes were on the carriers
deck, there was no sign OF life
aboard and destruction would have
been comparatively easy. However,
the flyers all had been specifically
instructed by Mai. Gen. James H.
Doolittle, then a lieutenant colonel,
to bomb only their assigned targets,
he declared.
Airport Left Untouched.
A similar story OF passing by a
legitimate military objective was
told by Capt. Harold F., Watson, q,
Hartford, Conn.,, who said he few
over a Japanese airport with two
twin n-engined bombers and a group
OF pursuit planes lined up on the
field.
1T would have been fine target"
he asserted.
Explaining the War Departments
delay In releasing details of the
Toxic raid, a spokesman said:
I'VE did not wish the japanese to
know how the raid was launched, be-
cause a further raid was and is a
decided possibility; we certainly
wished it to be considered so in the
minds of the Japanese. Also we did
not wish the japanese to know
where the crews had landed because
we had no information regarding
one crew, the members of which had
parachuted in japanese occupied
China and they must be given every
opportunity to escape.
1T will be remembered that the
Japanese claimed that planes were
shot down over Japan and also that
they actually exhibited a plane in

Troops Battle
With bayonets
And Grenades
Gen. Monteomery's
Infantry Engaged
In Fierce Fighting

by the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, April 22.-A
military spokesman said a fierce
battle, including bayonet and
grenade fighting, ragged through
out today on the British 9Th
Army's front as Gen. Sir Harold
Montgomery's infantrymen drove
against Axis defense lines south
Of Tunis.
The 9th Army artillery was cred-
tied with repulse of two Nazi coun-
terattacks yesterday on the southern
wing of the front, and 1t. Gen.
K. A. N. Anderson's 1st Army beat
off a powerful assault on an 8-mile
section of its line below Medjez-el-
Bah, destroying q tanks, inflicting
considerable casualties and captur-
ing 500 Germans.
British parachute troops, who wear
distinctive red berets and cam
ouflaged green jackets that hang
almost to their knees, were disclosed
to have been in the thick of 1st
Army engagements as infantrymen.
Fresh British gains on the south
ern front were declared firmly held.
Between 60 and 80 tanks and at
least five battalions of German in
fantry (perhaps 5000 mem struck
by moonlight Tuesday night at the
positions of Gen. Anderson's 1st
Army in the mountainous area Of
Medjez- Bah, itself IS miles south
west of Tunis.
Considerable Casualties.
The assault forces, described here
as some of the best of Marshal En-
win Rommel's men in Africa, were
met by heavy fire. They suffered
considerable casualties and the sur
vivors were withdrawing at dawn, a
communique said. Among the 27
wrecked tanks they left behind were
two of the Cotton Mark VI Tigers.
Gen. Sir Bernard l.. Montgomery
9Th Army massed artillery, batteries
to beat off two counterattacks
against It's new lines-anchored in
the region of Takrouna, 5 miles
northwest of Enfidaville, and in the
area of the Djebel Garci, 10 miles
inland from the coast-with a heavy
loss to the Axis.
Our positions were generally i'm
proved and all gains firmly held"
the conmunique said.
Gen. Montgomerys men, who face
| 10 miles of extremely difficult hill
country in their latest push toward
Tunis, already have driven through
miles which had once bristled with
Nazi defenses.
Observers said the Axis forces
were striking with all possible
strength in an effort to slow their
progress, regardless of the cost in
troops and materiel.
Strike on Smile Front.
| The German command included
units OF the Herman Goering Jaeger
