Starts on Road Back
After Germans Quit
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

MOSCOW, Feb. 8. (UP)-
New life surged through the
charnel house of Stalingrad
TODAY after \ night of eerie
quiet which followed the surrender
or death of the last of the 100000
German and satellite troops whom
Adolf Hitler sacrificed in his vain
attempt to make good his boast
that the Red bastion of the Volga
would fall.
The battle which started late last
August when the Germans broke
across the Don ended at pm. yes
terday.
In the final hours, resistance had
been carried on by groups of Ger
man officers in pill boxes, dugouts
and fortified buildings
German soldiers had shot many
officers who refused to yield.
Russian troops, entering the last
of the enemy strongholds, found
5000 Germans lying in rags on the
floor of one great underground hos
pital. Many were dead Many
more were dying of wounds, hun
ger and cold.
CIVILIANS RETURN
Today the women and children
and the scattering of aged men of
the civilian population who had
survived the siege, many of them
in caves in the high Volga bank,
a few in deep dugouts, emerged to
seek the ruins of their homes, some
carrying few rags of clothing, one
a chair, nucleus of a new collec-
tion of furniture, determined to
lose no time in starting life anew
in confidence that the Germans
would not be back.

Representative Wilbur Mills
Democrat, Arkansas, asked if for
eivanesS" of 1912 taxes would moi
serve as "a little bomb" in furth-
ering the inflationary spiral.
Il would think So" Paul replied.
There would be direct tendency
toward initiation resulting from re-
leased funds those accumulated for
tax payments"
Chairman Robert L. Doughton,
Democrat, North Carolina, an op-
ponent of forgiveness, asked
whether the Treasury had consid-
cred making the lower l941 tax
rate applicable on 1912 income to
ease the 'doubling-up burden" at
tendant upon getting 1943 taxes on
current basis.
Paul replied the idea had re-
ceived serious consideration" He
said 'doubling-up has its good
side"
Staring us in the face is the fact
that we have got to double our
collections if we are to meet the
Presidents request for $l6000,000.-
coo additional revenue. One way
TO meet this is to collect both 1942
and 1913 taxes as we go to pay-as-
you-go. The thing we must avoid,
however, is serious hardship to the
taxpayers"
Representative Donald H. Nc
Clean, Republican, New Jersey.
asked Paul how far he thought a
real American would go in ac-
cepting further paycheck deduc-
tons.
Paul said a Treasury survey had
shown that in some instances en-
ployees already have as many as
20 different deductions, including
social security levies, group hospit-
alization contributions, etc.
We would only be helping him
Cthe employer to budget his tax
payments to avoid distress later
when he finds himself without
funds to meet his tax obligation"
he added. Il think he's prepared
to accept a compulsory deduction

CALI all organized resistance by

Robert c. Miller, United Press
correspondent with the American
forces on Guadalcanal, reported that
a group of japanese had violated a
1,000-year- warrior code of their
country by walking to the American
lines with their arms raised in sur
render. This was borne out by Knox,
who told of japanese surrenders
while he was there.
SKIRMISH IN TUNISIA
On the Tunisian front, American
infantry and artillery battled for a
strategic position near Sened, %
miles southwest of Maknassy. Re-
ports from Allied North African
headquarters said that the Ameri-
cans took Sened Tuesday and were
holding doggedly. This contradicted
an earlier report that Americans
had taken the town Monday and
had withdrawn.
The battle for the important Faid
pass in central Tunisia appeared to
have gone in the Axis favor SO far
German troops were entrenched at
the pass and drove back an Ameri-
can attack.
The navy department said that
series of sporadic engagements
had taken place in the Solomons
with planes attacking ships and with
surface vessels slugging it out.
MAJOR EFFORT
In the restrained language of
communiqueS, the nav referred to
the japanese attempt as "a major
effort to regain control of the en-
tire SolcmonS area" Heretofore, the
SolomonS area has been a grave
yard for the Japanese navy. In three
tempts to recapture Guadalcanal
and the vital airport on it, the enc
