tail and steamed away from New
Guinea Saturday night was not dis
closed, but it was evident that what
ever success the enemy achieved
in this respect had been won at
the cost Of serious losses to his air
strength in this theater.
Indicating how hard the Japanese
had been hit, Allied headquarters
reported that American and Aus
tralian airmen had met only weak
opposition as they pursued what was
left of the enemy convoy across the
Solomon Sea to New Britain yester-
day.
Three japanese fighters were shot
out of the skies and another was
probably destroyed, while all Allied
planes returned, the communique
said.
OF the 10-ship convoy which left
New Britain for Lac on January 6
and later was reinforced by two
more vessels, few apparently escaped
the devastating Allied aerial assaults.
Three Transports Sunk.
At least three transports-includ-
ing a heavily 1oaded 14,0O0-ton
troopship which went down with all
hands-were definitely reported
sunk during the first two days Of
the engagement, while other vessels
were damaged by bomb hits.
In addition, Allied headquarters
reported yesterday that one trans
port had been hit six times and left
burning in Lac Harbor, that another
had been hit three times and that a
third had been, set afire after being
beached.
The damage inflicted on the Jap
anese convoy was further increased
by the two vessels listed as targets
of direct bomb hits on the return
trip to New Britain. It was not dis
closed whether these ships were
men-of-war or merchantmen.
OF the total Japanese planes
knocked out, IS were reported
definitely destroyed, 20 probably
destroyed and 10 damaged in the
first three days of action.
The enemy troops which succeeded
in landing at Lac were given no
rest by Allied airmen yesterday. Two
strong formations Of medium and
attack units, with fighter cover,
were reported to have bombed and
strafed the town and airdrome, set
ting fires visible for 40 miles and
destroying at least one grounded
fighter.
Allied ground forces, meanwhile,
continued to maintain steady pres
sure on the japanese at Sanananda
Point-the last center of enemy
resistance on the Papuan Peninsula
and increased their gains by oc-
cupying the village of Tarakena.
Forty Japanese were killed and five
machine-guns and a mortar were
captured in the assault.

La Toilette Hopes Congress
Will Enact Current Tax Plan

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. II R.-
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, Of
Wisconsin said here yesterday he
hoped Congress would enact some
kind OF pay-as-you-earn income
tax collection such as the Ruml plan
before March Is.
Senator La Toilette, here for the
launching OF a Liberty ship named
for his late father, Robert M. La
Toilette, declared he expected the
new Congress would have "the dire
and unpleasant job Of collecting
more taxes, combined with holding
out income at the source for post
war credit and readjustment."
He added it was imperative that
something be done to get the great
majority Of taxpayers, who have
been in the habit of paying last
years income taxes out of current
years income, on current basis"

today from the East Coast gas
rationing area. Many told Of over
crowded buses and trolleys and Of
trafdc that was the lightest since
the advent Of the automobile.
Others included stories Of stranded
dance and ice skating parties and
OF skiers who hiked to sports CEN
tiers from bus terminals.
Baltimore reported streetcars
and buses crowded "as never be-
FORE" with all available rolling
stock In service. Night clubs and
theaters there said attendance
dropped 80 to SO per cent from pre-
vtous week ends.
In some cities taxicab drivers
refused to accept calls on the out
skirts Of town where other means
OF transportation were available.
Hearings Set This Week.
Hearings before District rationinp
officials for motorists whose names
have been turned in to the local
ORA will be held this week. The
hearings will not be public, but
results will be announced. Cases
OF Maryland and Virginia motorists
cited in the District will be referred
to rationing boards near their
homes, it was SAID.
In New York City, Mitchell Jelline,
associate OPA enforcement officer,
said failure to report for hearings
would result In motorists being
struck off the ration lists for coffee,
sugar and other articles. They will
be kept of until they appear, he
added.
The Rationing Board has the
power either to reduce or cut of
entirely the gas rations Of a driver.
In most cases, it has been indicated,
several coupons probably will be re-
moved from the gas ration book as
penalty.

Pay-as-You-Go Tax
Due for Early Action,
RumI Believes

For Congressional
Approval by March ]
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
! Beardsley Ruml, sponsor Of pay
as-you-go income tax plan, yester-
day predicted early action by Con-
gress" and expressed hope the legis-
lation could be approved by March
/, Is days before 1912 tax returns
are due.
THE strong interest everywhere
in the pay-as-you-go plan will result
in early action by Congress" the
chairman Of New York's Federal Re-
serve Bank said. I'm this way the
ground will be cleared for other
urgent wartime measures.
1.-THE questions which have been
raised can and viii be answered. I
q. feel sure we can all look forward to
q successful solving of our old in
come tax debt problem"
Mr.. Ruml recalled President
Roosevelt's approval of pay-as-you-
60 in principle, noting that the only
question the President raised was
whether the Treasury would lose
money. Mr.. Ruml told newsmen the
total loss over a generations time
would be about the same as one
months Government expenditures.
In return for this, he asserted, the
country would remedy San old defect
In our income tax procedure, a de-
feet which has now had the result
of putting 100000 income tax
payers in debt for the tax on their
last years income"
Under the Ruml plan, the 1912
taxes due March Is would be writ
ten OF the books, and instead tax
payers would begin paying to the
Treasury whatever percentage of
their current income was set by
Congress. This might be done by
q Withholding tax, under which en-
plUyers would turn the money over
to the Treasury instead of giving it
to. the employees, but Mr.. Ruml said
mechanics Of the plan were up to

Voters League
Backs Limited
Subsidy Use
National Broadside
Seeks Support for
Imitation Control

That the limited use OF subsidies
Is part Of an effective anti-infiation
program" is the opinion expressed
by the National League Of Women
Voters in a broadside issued today
for Nation wide distribution.
The eleventh in a series published
by the league in a campaign to win
public support for efforts to control
imitation, the circular points out
that subsidies are an old story in
United States development but a
new story in keeping prices down."
The league warns that the roll
hack In price ceilings cannot con-
tinue unless the Government makes
up the difference between the old
and new prices. 1t admits that
even subsidies are inflationary"
but maintains that they are less so
than price rises since price in
creases on one product lead to de-
mands for increases on others and
the infationary spiral gains speed"
The least inf1ationary subsidy, ac-
cording to the broadside would be
payments limited to those who
need an increased price to stay in
business. There is no need for those
who can still make fair profit
under the price ceiling to add to
their profits by receiving Govern
ment help"
The leaflet indicates that it is the
new use of subsidies to keep prices
down. not to boost them. that has
caused congressional objection to
the proposed subsidy program. Now
farmers see in rising prices chance
for a return to profits without Gov
ernment help" it states. Therefore
many do not favor price controls.
They see permanent Government
interference if subsidies must ac-
company rising as we'll as falling
prices
