Washington, March 9-(UP)-- Secretary of Navy Frank Knox said today that Japanese communication lines in the South Pacific are grow ing weaker while our positions in the Solomons area are stronger than ever.
 Knox said the American cam. paign and attrition against Jap- anese shipping continues success fully and that the Japanese are finding it increasingly difficult to supply their bases.
 He declined to say, however. whether the United States is plan. ming to go on the offensive. He said he did not care to discuss fu- ture strategy.

COPS DEMAND
 TAX EXPRESSION
Committee Defeats Ruml Plan Despite Almost
 Solid Party Support
By EDWARD V. ROBERTS United Press Staff COrrespOndentl


 Washington, March g. CUP)- Republicans today served notice that they would demand an expres- sion from the entire House on the Ruml pay-as-you-go income tax plan.
 Rep. Harold Knutson, R.. Minn., acting as spokesman, said the Re publicans would not be bound by action of the ways and means com mittee which voted down a modified version of the Ruml pay-as-you-gO skip-last-year plan. despite almost solid Republican support. KnutSon said Republicans would move to recommit whatever tax bill is reported to the House by the ways and means committee. and substitute one embodying the Ruml forgiveness feature, probably in modified form.
 Such motion would be offered at conclusion of debate on the com mittee- -appr0ved bill, he said. He predicted that the recommittal mos tion would be supported by "90 per cent of the Republicans and enough of the Democrats-particu- larly eastern Democrats"
 This announcement came as the ways and means committee met to pass upon three proposals for get- ting the taxpayer on . current basis:
 l. Cancel all taxes on the first 5000 Of the l942 net income
 2 Apply the lower i9Ai rates to l043 income.
 ,. Cancel half of either the i9a2 or ie43 tax obligation.

 Allied Headquarters, North Africa, March 9. - (UP) - Marshal Erwin Rommel is continuing his retreat after abandoning 50 tanks to the British Eighth Army, and American pilots have won 8 big air battle over the Medi- terranean in which the Axis lost 19 planes against none for the United States forces.
 The pressure of the Eighth Army's veterans at mobile warfare in the desert was pushing Rommel relentlessly back toward his Mareth Line positions. Over the weekend he sallied cut and attempted to throw the forthcoming offensive of the Eighth Army off balance by quick thrtlsts six on Saturday alone-at their lines.
 Flying fortresses and P-38 Light. nings ran into the air battle yester. day during Q sea sweep between Tunis and Tripoli. Fifty Axis planes challenged the Americans and in the brisk battle that followed l7 enemy planes were shot down. The Axis total loss in the engage ment rose to 19 when two of their own planes colldded during the lighting and crashed.
 Mastery of Air
 The Allies appeared to be winning master of the air all along the Tunisian front. A total of 2l en- emy planes were destroyed yester- day against an Allied loss Of only two.
 In the battle over the Mediter- ranean, the flying fortresses, acc counted for ten of the enemy planes shot down and the Lightnings got seven.
 On the northern front. the Axis made a jab yesterday at the Allied line near Tamera, seven miles west of Sedjaenne, but the assault was repulsed and as the Germans re- treated they left 200 prisoners in Allied hands.
 (The uncontrolled radio Vichy said Axis forces occupied Cape Serrat in the north yesterday and, continuing their advance, seized an important chain of hills which con. trol strategic roads.)
 Town Captured
 French forces, moving along the northwestern edge of Chott Djerid (Salt Lake) in south-central Tu- nisia, captured the town of Tozeur.
 Rommels strategy now appeared to be to try to get his army into the high ground around Hallouf at the southwest end of the Mareth Line before he loses any more of

ton on two press conferences here today. Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles meets the press at noon. MT. Roosevelt has press con- ference scheduled at 1 p. m. One of them unquestionably will discuss the ambassadors statement.
 Standley, a salty diplomat who formerly was chief Of naval opera tions, charged that Americans were being misled into giving millions to aid the Russian people whereas the Russian people were not even aware they were being helped. He hinted of Russian refusal to exchange mili- tary data with her allies--a policy generally acknowledged and re. gretted by military men here. Stand ley went further to warn that, under the circumstances, congress might balk at further lend-lease aid.
 Congressional reaction was mixed but on the whole confident lend- lease would continue.
 Rep. Luther A. Johnson of Texas, ranking Democratic member of the house foreign affairs committee, said he believed Standley "got his facts mixed up a bit" He said he under- stood that Pravda, official Soviet newspaper, on Jan. g gave pretty full account" of Lend-Lease Admin istrator E. R. stettinius' report on U. s. aid to Russia.
 "1 think 1t unwise when we are engaged in war to make faces at oui allies" Johnson said.
 Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., N. Y. said he was not surprised by Stand ley's disclosure because he never thought for a minute that the Con- munists had changed their princi- ples or views" He added, however that Standley's statement won't ef- feet extension of lend-lease; we'll vote for 1t because we want to sup- ply them as long as they'll keep on fighting"

 It was presumed that Standley would take up his charge, made at a press conference yesterday, with the Soviet government.
 (The CBS correspondent at Mos COW said Standley was awaiting a conference with Premier Joseph Stalin.)
 Standley told American and Brit ish pewsmen that it was not flair to mislead Americans into giving millions of dollars from their poe ketS, thinking they are aiding the Russian people and the Russian people not to know it."
 "EVer since I have been here, he said, q have been carefully look ing for recognition by the Russian press of the fact that they. are get ting material help from America, not only through lend-lease, but al- so through the Red Cross and Rus sian-American relief-and I have so far failed to find any acknowledge ment.

TWO COMMUNITY BUILDINGS SET
Long Hill and Hamilton Avenue Federal Housing
 Tracts Designated

Waterbury's Child Gar program was given more impetus, 1t was learned today, with an announce ment from federal housing author ities that there would be community buildings at both the Long Hill and Hamilton avenue tracts.
 It had been expected by local off, clals that the expansion of the Long Hill project, scheduled to start al- most immediately, would include a community center which would per- init the city to set up a child care program designed to aid those fam- flies within the project in which both the father and mother were war workers.
 The announcement that similar structure was being planned at the Hamilton avenue project, however, is news, as there had been no pre- vious indication that federal officials planned to make any changes in its present set-up. It is believed that the insistence of Mayor John s. Monagan on more child care cen- ters here may have caused federal officials to make such a decision.
 Consulting with City Comptroller Cornelius F. Maloney last week, agents of the Federal Housing Agency revealed to him that plans were underway for the second cen- ter. Controller Maloney is chairman of the War Housing Unit commit tee and today was again advised by housing authorities that commun- ity building will be added to the Hamilton avenue project.
 Through the efforts of local ofii- cialS 1t has also been learned that in awarding the contracts for federal projects in Waterbury more consid- eration will be given to local con-
