EUROPE:
Prepare attack in Italy

Lieut.. Gen. Mark Clark's Fifth
army edged into position for grand
assault upon the Germans new de-
lenses along the 2,500-foot high Mas
sico ridge i'll southern Italy, while
the Nazis prepared to meet the
charge by massing artillery and NOR
tars on the front.
On the Adriatic side Of the battle
line to the east, Gen. Bernard Mont
gomery's Eighth army also drew
up into position for the next big
blow by crossing the short Trigno
river at several points.
Meanwhile there were indications
that the Germans might be planning
strong counter-offensive of their
own somewhere in central Italy.
Allied reconnaissance reported the
steady flow Of Nazi troops and ma
terrell from the north toward the bat
tie zone. No such counter-offensive
was expected, however, unless the
Germans defense weakened Allied
attackers and drew them into open
country where Tank Specialist Err

TAXES:
Plan 2 Billion More

Opposed to any form Of sales tax,
the house ways and means commit
tee was prepared to report q new
tax bill for congressional approval,
yielding only two billion dollars of
revenue instead Of the 10h billion
dollars asked by the treasury.
Or the two billion dollars, 900 mil
lion would be raised by new liquor
taxes. Levies on spirits would be
boosted to $40 a gallon, on beer
to So per barrel, and on wine from
five cents to 81 a gallon.
Other revenue would be obtained
by increasing postal rates to three
cents on local mail, air-mail to 10
cents an ounce, money orders 10 to
81 cents, insured mail 10 to 70 cents,
and COD mail "A cents to $40. Gen.
eral admissions would be raised to
three cents for every 10 cents; cleo
trio light bulbs and tubes would be
taxed to is per cent Of the retail
price, and there would be q levy Of
20 per cent of the charge on bowl
ing, and $40 per billiard table.
If d sales tax were enacted, the
Go had warned that it would de-
mand wage increases to cover addi-
tional purchase costs.

Nazis Fight Guerrillas

Pesky guerrilla activity in Jugo-
Slavia commanded the attention Of
the Germans, with Marshal Rom
mel dispatching strong mechanical
forces to quel the armed bands dis
rupting communications and de-
stroying industrial plants.
But the effectiveness of Jugo-Slav
guerrillas was threatened by anoth-
er outbreak of fractional dissension
between the forces Of King Peters
government and the new so-called
freedom army of Tito Broz, which
fought independently. a
While the two political organiza-
tons repeatedly have been harass-
ing the Germans from one end Of
Jugoslavia to the other, they also
have been accusing one another of
collaborating with the Nazis. Broz'
faction sentenced II persons to death
for such collaboration, including a
former Jugo-Slav general.
In attempting to wipe out the two
guerrilla armies, the German ar
mored columns drove into the hilly
country to which Jngo-Slav rifemen
retire for cover. &

purely political. They say the Re-
publicans naturally take the side op-
posite to the administration because
they can win some farm votes as
champions of higher prices to farm
ers II they take this stand. On the
other hand, they believe that the
anti-subsidy bill will be vetoed
eventually and the Democrats say
the veto will be sustained. If SO,
the Republicans will not be criticized
for supporting measure which Is
defeated. And the Democratic sup
port in the house agriculture COM
mittee, subsidy supporters say, was
bought" by allowing the present
subsidies for the products grown in
districts of the congressman who
supported the bill, to stand.
The administration followers say
that it seems strange for the Re-
publicans to raise cry against SUBJ
sides when tariffs are subsidies.
They mention the sugar subsidy"
AS for complaint that the subsidy
on agricultural products would not
reach the farmer, they call attention
to the milk subsidies at present in
operation where the man who milks
the cow gets the subsidy direct.
Meanwhile, we know that the cost
Of living has already gone up. We
know that we need full production
of foodstuffs. We know that many
farmers can't get the feed required
to raise the stock or to fatten it to
its most efficient weight for slaugh-
ter.
Payment of any money out by the
treasury does mean more money in
circulation but the. subsidy pro-
ponents point to the kind of imitation
we get when prices aren't controlled.
The administration says it is better
to control a few professors and dis
tributors, even il Uncle Sam has
to snoop into their books to see he
isn't cheated, than to let that vicious
spiral of prices and living costs start
to mount.
In the next weeks you will hear
a lot more of these arguments.

German armies fought desperate

attempting to pull tight in the great
bend of the Dnieper river.
To the south, the Reds spilled over
the fiat steppes west Of fallen Melito-
pol, and raced to thwart Germany's
withdrawal Of its forces from the
Crimea.
Action along the whole southern
front centered around the Russians
attempts to surround and smash the
German armies threatened with en-
circlement from the rear, and the
Nazis' desperate efforts to hold off
the Reds with heavy counter-attacks
while the bulk of their troops

FOOD.
Margarine Tax
Because of growing opposition
from the dairy bloc, a stiff fight
doomed in congress over the pro-
posal to eliminate federal taxes and
restrictions on margarine. it~
While more consumption of whole
milk was advocated, with 'sgood"
margarine substituted for butter,
Representative August Andersen
(Minn.) declared additional feed
would supply sufficient milk for all
purposes.
Consultant to the food and drug
administration, DR.. A. J. Carlson of
the University ofChicago, stated that
present "good" margarine has nu-
tritional values equal to butter, and
tax laws strike at the poorer classes
in most need of adequate nutrition.
When the margarine tax was first
enacted, he said, there was occa-
sional fraud in the sale of the prod
uct and there was less information
on nutrition.
Because cottonseed oil is an in
gredient of margarine, there were
charges that the congressional cotton
bloc was interested in repeating the
tax and restrictions.

though the meat loaf was Is per cent

to me. The cookies and the Brown
Betty were excellent.
Soy flour and soy grits-the bread
had some soy flour in it-are both
on the market ready to contribute
vitamins, mineral, protein, vim and
vigor to our food, reducing the con-
sumption of scarcer and more ex-

20 to Is per cent in meat and still
