anyhow, underlining the complete
ness of the Axis debacle.
Officially, Gen. Won Arnim was
captured by troops of the British
9th Army's 4th Indian Division,
which attacked the enemy's 1st
Army week ago.
Cornered near Ste. Marie du Zit,
Gen Won Arnim sent out envoys
with a white flag, surrendered and
was interviewed last night by Gen.
Anderson in his tent. After that the
British leader met Allied war cor
respondents.
Gen. Won Arnim and all other CAP
tured generals were accorded full
military courtesies.

the total bag of captives since May

continuing conferences between
representatives of both commands. "
Observers here agree that the
Macarthur -Halsey conference may
be the signal for a new phase in the
Pacific war. A headquarters spokes-
man observed that the reason Ad-
miral Halsey had not visited Gen.
MacArthurs headquarters before
was because the admiral had been
too busy fighting a war"
The spokesman remarked that
while it could not be said the tide
of japanese aggression had been
turned, it now was certain at least
that the tide had been stemmed.
Asked if Admiral Halsey would
confer personally with Gen. Mac
Arthur again, the spokesman re-
piled the two commanders would
meet if necessary, but observed

President Roosevelt told Con-
gress today that war housing

workers during the fiscal year
starting July and asked for an
increase of S400,000,000 in the
Lanham Act housing fund to

ate and House, which were accom-
panied by draft of bill to raise
the Lanham Act appropriation from
ST 1900, 100000 to ST 6OO,00O,OOO.
Mr. Roosevelt said that almost
two thirds of the war workers who

Morgenthau Hopes
For Tax Bill 10 Raise
New $4,000, 900
Would Like Revenues
To Pay at Least Half
Of Current War Costs
BY the Associated Press.

-Ac'oSi'NSNN
Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau said today that
while the success of the Second
War Loan drive has postponed
the need for compulsory savings,
he hopes Congress will enact
new taxes to yield an additional
S16,000,000,000 in revenues to the
Government.
The Secretary told his press con-
ference he would like to see at least
half the current cost of the war
financed by taxes With revenues
for the 1914 fiscal year estimated at
s35, 100000, he said, an additional
100000 would about achieve
this objective.
President Roosevelt in his Janu-
ary budget message called for legis-
lation to yield an additional s16,-
0o0,000,000 "in taxes or savings" but
Mr. Morgenthau said today he would
like to have it all in taxes"
Now is the time to tax ourselves
while we have this terrific national
income he declared. 1T will be
better on our children and our
grandchildren if we make a real eff
fort to pay now"
Meanwhile. administration forces
approached within striking distance
today of another upset of the skip
a-year plan to put taxpayers on q
current payment basis.

fldence they had the votes to force

1,500 Tons Of
Bombs Dropped
On Nuzi Center
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 13.-British
bombers delivered their heaviest
attack of the war on Germany
last night, dropping more than
$500 tons of bombs on the bat
tered industrial center of Duis-
burg. it was announced today.
Thirty-four bombers were reported
lost in the raid-the first great night
attack on the Reich since the
smashing assault on Dortmuno
May a.
Allied raiders followed up this
assault by streaming across the Eng
lsh Channel this morning in bright
sunlight to smash at the coast OF
Occupied France. The rumble OF
heavy explosions rolled back across
the Channel and later twin -motoreo
bombers came Winging home under
a swarming escort of fighters.
Southeast coast observers said
American four-engined bombers
were among those which crossed
the coast and headed in south
westerly direction.
Vital Transport Center.
Dulsburg, situated at the junction
OF the Rhine and Ruhr, is a vita,
transport and communications cen.
ter in addition to being the site OF
important war industries.
1t was last bombed the night OF
April 26, when heavy Raj bombers
unloaded 1850 tons of high explo-
slves on the city in one of the
mlghtlest assaults undertaken by
the RAF up to that time.
'The German high command
communique said explosives and
mcendiaries wrought extensive
damage in some places of West
ern Germany, particularly in the
city areas of Duisburg" Broad
cast from Berlin and recorded
by the Associated Press, it said
the population suffered cas-
ualtieS.)
An Air Ministry communique said
that visibility was good last night
and that preliminary reports in
dlcate excellent results"
IL Miles From Essen.
The communique did not specify
the exact weight of bombs dropped
on Duisburg, but characterized the
raid unequivocally as the heaviest
attack Of the war
The greatest weight of bombs
previously loosed on a single target
was $500 tons-a record that was set
in the great l,0o0-plane raid on Co.
logne nearly year ago and probably
was equalled in the May raid on
Dortmund.
The largest concentration of four
engined bombers ever sent out on a
war mission participated in the
latter assault. Thirty bombers failed
to return from that foray.
Duisburg, which is only II miles
west of oft-bombed Essen, had been
bombed SO times before. Among
its important industries is the
Vereinigte Stahlwerke munitions
plant, which was reported heavily
hit in successive raids on April 8
and 9.
While last nights raid was said to
have been the heaviest in point of
weight of bombs dropped. it was not
necessarily the largest in respect to
the number of planes employed.
Ton of Bombs to Acre.
The dropping OF $500 tons of
bombs on the city of 100000 would
represent about ton of bombs for
every acre. 1t was presumed that
many four-ton blockbusters were
in the RATS deadly cargo.
