Nazi Troops in Russia
Are Bearing Hardest
Burdens, Hitler Says
Endured Suffering Which
Would Have Broken OtheI
Armies, He Declares
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 10.-Adolf Hit
Ter was quoted by the Berlin ra-
dio today as declaring the winter
involved the heaviest suffering
and hardest burdens for our SOL
dierS.' The broadcast was re-
corded by Reuters.
The Berlin radio said Hitler broad
cast on the fourth anniversary of
organization of the Nazi winter
help" campaign.
BY halting the Russian assault
and by communicating Hitler said
the German soldiers had averted a
crisis which would have broken
any other army in the world.
"All sacrifices on the home front
pale before the privations and suffer-
lngs which our soldiers have had to
bear for the second time in the East.
Only love of their country and a
desire that it shall be spared the
horrors of war could have made such
deeds possible"
The home front has also learned
courage" Hitler declared War
has been brought to the towns,
townships and villages"
1T is the German people and our
women and children for whom all
the men at all fronts are risking
their lives" Hitler said. The Ger
man people at home also have had
the war carried to them. All their
sufferings. however, cannot be COM
pared with the superhuman suffer-
ings under which our troops at
various fronts, particularly in the
east, have had to fight.
Therefore, the debt of honor and
the duty of the German people at
home is to show the soldiers that,
with all they have to suffer, they
are never forgotten and that above
all nothing is left undone that may
be suitable to heal the wounds of
their fighters

McNutt Paves Way
For Steel Exemptions
From 48-Hour Week
Announces Regulations
Are Being Drafted by
Labor Management Unit
Bv MIRIAM OTTENBERG

In the wake of predictions by
informed sources that the 48-
hour-Week order in steel would
be "hamstrung" by exemptions,
War Manpower Chief McNutt
announced today that regula-
tions providing for exemptions
would be issued.
Mr.. McNutt said his Labor Man.
agement Policy Committee now is
working on the regulations. VINO
regional directors recently cast a
majority vote for immediate extern
sion of the 48-hour week to steel.
Friends of Fowler Harper, whose
resignation as deputy VINO chair
man was confirmed by Mr.. McNutt
Saturday, said he felt the Gripping
of the steel order through exemp-
tions convinced him of growing
management dominance of VINO.
According to these officials, man
agement members of the committee
were assured that liberal eXemp-
tions from the order would be is
sued before they agreed to the order.
Another Aide May Quit.
Although Mr.. McNutt said he
knew of no other designations, it
was learned that his longtime aide,
Miss Edith Keyes, assistant to the
chairman, was planning to go to the
Board of Economic Warfare with
Mr.. Harper.

ference today that he and Mr.. Har-
per had been friends for a long

House Battle Opens
On COP Proposal 10
Limit Trade Pacts Bill
Inter-Porty Strife Seen
Over PIon to Give Veto
Power to Congress

BY The Associated Press.
The House pitches into battle
today on a Republican proposal
to apply congressional veto
powers to President Roosevelt's
reciprocal trade pacts. Demo-
cratic leaders contend it would
mean a kiss of death" for the
whole reciprocity program.
The party-line fight developed
with opening of a tWo-day debate
On a measure to extend the Recipro-
cal Trade Act for three years beyond
the June II expiration date.
Republicans charged that the act.
born in 1884, violates the Constitu-
ton in its present form by delegat-
ing to the Executive the tariff and
treaty-making powers of Congress
They claimed sufficient strength to
"recapture' these powers.
Democratic leaders marshaled
their forces behind Secretary of
State Hull's request for extension
without revision, basing their case
on a contention that the trade pacts
are needed not only to build COM
merce, but to secure world peace.
Hull's Statement Challenged.
The Republicans challenged Demo-
cratic arguments that action on the
trade authority extension would re-
fleet the extent the United States
will participate in postwar world ad-
justments. The 10 Republican men,
bers of the Ways and Means Com
mittee issued statement saying:
I'VE of the Republican minority
regard it as not only unfortunate
but imprudent and presumptuous
for the Secretary of State to hold
that the action of Congress on the
extension of the Trade Treaty Act
is test of American foreign policy
in the postwar world, and ask other
nations to construe it as SUCH
Secretary Hull had told the COM
mittee that the United States must
demonstrate now its sincerity of
purpose and willingness to bear its
share of responsibility in world af-
fairs by extending the administra-
tion's authority to trade reciprocally
with other nations.
Undersecretary of State Welles. in
speech at Toledo, Ohio, Saturday
warned against "crippling" these
trading powers. He said repudia-
ton of the Agreements Act, "either
outright or by Gripping amend
ments," would be a heavy blow at
hopes for lasting peace.
Three Amendments Sought.
Republicans counted on enough
Democrats joining them to pass at
least two, and possibly three amend
mentS, as follows:
l. Give Congress the right to pass
upon any trade treaties within 90
days of their submission. (The
veto amendmentD
2. Grant American producers the
right to litigate matters arising out
of the trade treaties.
3. Provide that no reduction be
made in the duty of any foreign ag-
ricultural product when the domestic
price of the comparable production
is less than parity.

cent. These prices, however, they
held. were not "out of line with
those in comparable nearby COM
munities. The cost of living has been
the chief issue in the demand of
the miners for an increase in pay.
Program to Be Extended.
MIR. Brown promised that within
two months the price ceiling pro-
gram on essential foods would be
extended so every housewife will
know the top price" of her pur-
chases. He urged housewives to
carry maximum price lists to mar
ket and to report to their ration
boards any demands for above CELL
ing prices.
The OPA enforcement division
recommended that retailers be in
formed more fully of their obliga-
tons under the regulations, particu-
larly of the records they are required
to keep; that the OPA enforcement

Toxic Reports

NEW YORK, May 1O.-The
Toxic radio, in a broadcast re-
corded by the Associated Press,
reported today that an Allied
submarine had shelled the vicin-
ity of Horobetsu village on the
southeastern coast of Hokkaido
1sland-the second largest of the
string of islands which consti-
tute the Japanese homeland.
Horobetsu is about 400 miles north
of Toxic.
The broadcast quoted an an
nouncement from Japanese north
ern army headquarters as saying
the shells had landed in a field and
caused no casualties or damage.
The nationality of the submarine
was not given.
American submarines, however,
several times have been reported
in operation close off the Japanese
coast. One recently returned with
photograph of Fujiyama taken

Coalition
Works on Final
Draft Of Tax Bill
Unless Hitch Occurs
RumI-Type Measure
May Pass This Week
BY the Associated Press.

Confident the Senate will over
ride administration objections, a
working coalition of Republicans
and Democrats put the finishing
touches today on a new version
OF the Ruml skip-a-year plan of
current income taxation.
Unless a hitch develops, the
measure will be sent to the floor to-
morrow by the Senate Finance Com
mittee, which approved it Saturday
13 to 7. Debate will start either
then or Wednesday. Five Demo-
Gratis joined the eight Republican
committee members in voting for
the bill.
Even such opponents as Commit
tee Chairman George conceded like
ly passage of legislation embodying
in some form the Ruhl principle
probably late in the week. From
mat time on, it is considered any,
body's guess as to what happens,
since administration supporters in
the House defeated a modified Ruml

Uncertain on House Action.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican.
OF Michigan, chief exponent of the
measure in the Senate committee
said it was his best judgment the
House would accept a possible COM
promise.
Senator George told reporters that
While he was in sympathy with the
OBJECTIVE of getting all taxpayers on
a current basis, he also was looking
TO the effect on immediate Treasury
revenues and the necessity for in
creaslng them. President Roosevelt
has said 6,00O,0O0,OOO in additional
revenue must be raised.
The committee revised Runo1-
Carlson bill would cancel the lower
OF either 1912 or 1943 liabilities for
every taxpayer, wiping out an esti-
mated s6,S00,OO0,0O in assets upon
which the Treasury would be ex-
pected to collect eventually. This
compares with $1,000, 100000 that
would be eliminated by the House
approved bill. which would cancel
only the first 10 per cent of 1912 tax
levles and place only those who fall
within that category on a current
payment basis.
George for IS Per Cent Abatement.
1t would be much better, Senator
George argued. to cancel rs per cent
OF everybodys liability for 1912
taxes, put them on a current basis
as to their 1943 bills and let them
pay the Is per cent owing from l942
IN the course of the next two years.
That would give the Treasury an
automatic 12l2 per cent increase in
its receipts in the critical war period,
he said, indicating his belief such
solution might obviate any neces-
slty of trying to squeeze an addi-
tlonal $4,000, 100000 out of the tax
turnip in the immediate future.
President Roosevelt has expressed
fear the Ruml plan would cost the
treasury badly-needed revenue.
Senator George would not COM
ment on the possibility of a presi-
Dental veto for any measure which
approximates the Ruml plan to skip
years tax, but said:
IA such bill is passed and be-
comes law, it is almost certain to be
followed by a demand for an in
crease in taxes to make up the
amount that would be lost through
abatement"
