Nazis Claim Huge U. s. Carrier Sunk On Sea
House Ways ard Means Group Has income Tax
 Bill Coming Out May }

WASHINGTON, April 26. - A Dcmocratic-sponsored pay-as-you- go bill. applying lower rates and higher personal exemptions on l94l-42 incomes in order to get a current tax basis has been approved by the House Ways and Means Committee.
 This action came with a voice vote, the Republicans sitting in si- lence after the committee also vo- cally rejected the first Republican supported modified Ruml plan, and another compromise proposed by Rep Willis A. Robertson of Vir- ginia
 The committee has agreed to bring the new measure onto the floor of the House on Monday, May 3. when Congressional members re- turn from an Easter recess, the de- bate being limited to one day and the vote coming on the committee plan and it's alternatives on the next day.
 The fact that no record vote was sought in the committee came as no surprise, as the lineup of the members has been known for days.
 Rep Robertson said the Trea- sury said the committee bill will remit" $4,400,000 900 on l942 in- comes under the present. rates, leaving about S5 100000 900 to be paid off on last years tax
 Under the plan, the amount still due will be spread for payment over a three-year period. One nia- jor change was made by the com mittee majority's measure -- the amount of discount for complete payment of last years taxes by March Is is lowered from 10 per- cent to 6 percent.

BUY WAR. BONDS
The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert s. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. - Big question mark about Rommel is-will he be able to evacuate his forces from TuniSia?
 Here is the answer given by War Department top-flight experts.
 Rommel has a great concentra- ton of anti-aircraft artillery in the northern corner of Tunisia to which he has withdrawn. This in cludes not only his own stuff, but also the artillery of Gen. Von Ar nim's units. He will be able to put up a blanket of anti-aircraft fire so intense that Allied air at tacks will be costly.
 In addition, the Germans will try to bring an air umbrella from Italy, to cover Rommel's evacuation. This is the same strategy adopted by the British for the evacuation from Dunkerque, when they with drew their planes from the Conti- nent, repaired, refueled, he n shipped back across the Channel, cleared the skies, and kept an um- brella over the British forces un- tsl the evacuation was accom- plished.
 But, foreseeing this, Allied planes already are strafing Sicilians air fields and knocking out Axis planes or tae ground, to prevent the air umbrella from ever unfolding.
 Also Rommel must begin partial evacuation at once, regardless of whether he tries to hold Tunis and Bizerte. He has so many men ln that small area that they get in their own way. This partial evacua- tion can be accomplished, under cover of night. across the short waist of the Mediterranean, be- tween Tunis and Sicily
 But to evacuate his entire force of nearly 100000 is regarded inn possible. The judgment of War De- partment. experts is that he will deliver safely about one-tenth of

MOSCOW, April 26. = Furious German counter attacks in the Ku- ban region of the Caucasus the past few days have approached the in- tensity of an offensive, but they slackened significantly today as the Germans counted several thousand dead in addition to heavy losses Tn airplanes, tanks, guns and muni- tions. according to Russian front dispatches.
 The dispatches gave no immed- tate reason for the cessation of Nazi attacks which were marked by numerous futile charges against the Russian lines from the Black Sea coast near Novorissisk through the Kuban Delta to the coast of the Sea of Azov.
 The Germans lost almost 5000 men. almost 200 planes, in less than a week, probably far in excess of the losses they counted on.
 tSbGlQ Qd y D uLoJdtSliSo tSPSA " - the use of fresh Nazi reserves in their Caucasus bridgeheads, but the fury of Russian air attacks did not slacken in that sector. The Red Army Air Force raided one German airdrome, causing number of ex- plosions and large fires.
 The Russian fliers also struck one of the biggest blows of the war Thursday night and Friday morn ing when they raided Insterburg successfully, the fourth raid on eastern Prussian cities this month.
 It begins to appear as if Rus sian, American and British avia- ton forces have divided up their military targets and are now work ing on a definite plan.
 Insterburg is the location of a large German commissary.

an ineffective machinery for main

adoption Of some transition period
between the end Of fighting and

what the world needs Is an APP

military domination. Imperialism,
