 CRITICISM

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Prime Minis ter Winston Churchill declined to reply to criticisms from the House of Commons on the touring United States Senators and said that q full statement of the facts was prepared at his request and will be kept in the Commons for the purpose of record, 'or if it should be expedient to publish them
 Churchill said: T have come to the conclusion that it would be to no advantage to His Majesty's gov- ernment to take part in this wordy warfare, especially at time when British and United States armies are engaged in shoulder to shoulder battles taking place or impending on the Italian front, when the Royal Air Force and the U. s. Eighth Air Force are with perfect brotherhood in arms making heavy sacrifices in their attacks on Ger many" The Commons cheered.

11.-Speedy American lightning
fighters broke up an attempt at
noon today of so to 60 German
dive bombers to smash the British
forces landing on Pantelleria after
the garrison of Italians suiren-
dered.
Shortly after the bomb-dazed
Italians, exhausted from lack OF
fresh water, displayed a white
flag, Nazi squadrons struck at
British naval craft which were
pouring thousands of soldiers and
numbers of tanks onto the island.
The German warplanes roared
in suddenly through the rain that
fell throughout the operation on
the great mass of men and ships
which swarmed below, and the AM
erican Lightnings arrived at the
same time.
The enemy aircraft were forced
to jettison their bombs in a hap
hazardly fashion in order to keep
from being destroyed.

ROOSEVELT
WILL HIT
INITIATION
SAYS He Will Send Mes
Sage on Whole Field
10 Congress

WASHINGTON, June IL. - At
tempting to dispel what he termed
confusion, the President said 20
day he might send to Congress a
message dealing with the whole
field of initiation, including the
closing of the inflationary gap be-
tween national income and things
it is possible to buy with it.
AS for specific tax legislation, he
remarked that the details are up
to Congress.
At an earlier press conference
on Tesday, the President said some
confusion had developed over his
discussion of taxes He said he was
speaking of the theory of taxation.
although reporters generally got the
idea he was preparing to ask Con-
gress for more revenue as a means
of plugging the inflationary gap.
The President recalled he had
been asked whether compulsory saw
ing would be necessary to help
plug the gap, and he had replied
that was possible, but said he was
dealing only with the possibilities.
A sales tax also is a possibility,
he said, although Congress might
have to enact one over his veto.
Both taxes and savings could be
used together to combat initiation,
he said

to the commander of the Allied
forces on the African mainland and
steps were taken at once toward
occupying the island.
Planes Darker Sky
Many hundreds of Allied planes
darkened the sky yesterday over
Pantelleria.
Thirty-seven more Axis planes
were shot down in flames. Six Al
lied aircraft failed to return from
the sky battle.
This was the first time in the
Mediterranean that air power, al
most alone, knocked out the enemy
and forced the surrender of an i'm
portant outpost without a single
ground soldier being used.
British military observers in Lon
don estimated that about 5000 men
made up the Pantelleria garrison,
chiefly artillery crews, air force
personnel and ground stats.
Invasion Begun
The garrison was given a chance
to surrender several days ago and
thereby avoid additional hardships
and casualties, but the Fascist ra-
dlo reported the men defending the
isle had been ordered to hold out
to the last man and the note went
unanswered
The fall of the first of Southern
Europes outer defense posts left
little doubt in the minds of COM
petent military observers that the
invasion of Europe had begun.
A late dispatch reported that
aerial bombardment of the greatest
fury the world has ever known
compelled the little island of Pan
telleria to surrender uncondition-
ally. but British troops, landing
under cover of naval guns, had to
fight for % minutes against scat
tered enemy defenders.
The stepping stone to Italy was
occupied at 1922 pm. after a noon
landing by assault forces 20 min
utes after the display of a white
flag on Pantelleria's hill and white
cross on the airfield.
The senior italian officer on
Pantelleria sent the following mes
sage:
Beg surrender. Lack water
There was plenty of it all around
them.
