Allies speed
 Up Action In
 Pacific War
By Associated Press

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, in Southwest Pacific-Many signs to- day portended the unleashing oi increased United Nations power a. gainst the Japs in this theater of war as jungle fighters of General Macarthur moved with little op position toward their next objec- tiye-the enemy base at Madang, northeast New Guinea.
 Other Allied forces struck in widespread areas of action or champed at the bit awaiting ord CTS.
 A speedy stepping up of the war in Burma was foreshadowed in the arrival at New Delhi of Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, supreme commander in Southeast Asia. His appointment was announced late in August following the war stra- tegy conference at Quebec and was created for the express purpose of intensifying the Allied effort a. gainst Japan in that theater of ac- tivity.
 Indications that the Japs them selves visualize what is in store for them came from Premier Hide Xii Tojo. He was quoted in a Tokyo radio broadcast as warning newly appointed government offici a l that the Allied offensive had gain ed in intensity and that the re- sponsibiliy of the Jap government is now "enOrmOus."
 Allied Naval and air attacks the past week on Jap held Wake Is land and on the Marcus group in which damage was done to Jap in- stallations, coupled with the re- gently marked increase of United States battleship strength in the Pacific, all seem to be causing theI Tojo government considerable anx-I iety. That blows are due to fall soon against the Japanese main land is a foregone conclusion inl both the enemy and Allied camps.

fects the Oronoke school, since 1t is
located on Park road, all the way
across the city from Scovill's.
The manufacturing firm, 1t was
learned, had had representatives
also inspect the closed Gaffney and
Porter street schools but found they
would not suit their purposes.
The Hamilton avenue school,
which has not been used for school
purposes for some years, has been
headquarters for the WPA sewing
project.
The Oronoke school, closed few

During World War I. the Scoyill
co. erected barracks on Hamilton
avenue to sire many workers
brought to the city to take war
jobs. Other local plants did the
same thing.
It is believed likely that the Scovill
firm will make a definite offer for
the Hamilton avenue school, in view
Of the fact that It can be easily
converted, as well as its nearness
to the east plant entrances and
to the old Silver Shop building, on
Silver street, which Is now being
converted for use as kitchen for

UNITED Press Staff Cores pOndent)
washington, Jan. 20.-(UP)-
Treasury officials are sounding out
members Of Congress today on a
war revenue program which would
abolish the five per cent victory
tax, forgive" part of 1912 income
taxes, and impose a flat Is per
cent withholding tax.
The proposal, attributed to Ran
dolph e. Paul, the Treasury's gen.
eral counsel, is designed to PIT the
lower brackets on pay-as-you go
basis and the higher brackets on a
partially current basis. 1t Is an
outgrowth of efforts to compromise
congressional demands for a pay
as-you-go plan and government
suggestions for a withholding tax.
The reported treasury plan in
wolves:
/. Immediate repeal Of the five
per cent victory tax on individual
paycheckS.
2. Forgiving all 1912 income tax
liabilities in the first taxable brack-
cts and up to 10 per cent of the
1912 income tax of persons In the
higher brackets.
8. Increasing the basic income
tax rate from 10 per cent to 20
per cent for 1913 income and pro-
viding for collecting of all of it
currently on a withholding basis.
4. A new five per cent withhold
ing tax, to be collected currently,
against additional increases in the

income tx rate anticipated in the

turned II the expected increase Is
not imposed.
The 20 and five per cent withhold-
ing taxes would not be figured on
gross income but on basis similar
to that used for victory tax where
by taxpayers are allowed a deduc-
ton for personal exemption, and
dependents amounting to $12 q

Under the Treasury's program, all
persons paying the lowest inc0me
taxes could write off their 1912
tax liabilities and begin to pay
against 1913 out Of each paycheck
at the rate Of rs per cent Of their
earnings less allowable deductions
Upper bracket taxpayers, who
would have to pay the difference
between 10 per cent and their total

given five years to make their pay

Kerosene Supplies

Boston, Jan. 20-(UP)-Massa-
chusetts' fuel situation reached per-
haps its most critical stage OF the
winter today as shipments Of oil
were delayed by weather conditions
and cold, blustery wind caused the
temperature to drop II degrees IN 10
hours to a low at 7:30 a. m. Of Ill
degrees. -.
kerosene stocks were "very low"
and a qualified spokesman said that
both bunker and fuel oil stocks were
..precarious" and that evacuation Of
families from heatless homes to pub
lie buildings might become neces-
sary.
High winds were expected to dim
irish by nightfall but the weather
bureau said that temperatures would
be as low or lower than last night.
Coolest spot in New England was
atop Mt. Washington, N. H., where
the reading was 28-below zero. It
was 11-below at Caribou, Me-, one
below at Burlington, VT, while the
low in Massachusetts, was four above
zero at Pittsfleld.
Most suppliers were forced to re-
fuse kerosene peddlers since stocks
were exhausted.
The State Emergency Fuel ONCE
said that a token" supply of about
10000 gallons of kerosene might
arrive in drums sometime tomorrow
but that larger supply expected
earlier this week would now be de-
layed until Friday. Boston during
december used about 100000 gall

ans today to support the campaign
with their characteristic generosity.
There will be no Presidents ball at
Hamilton park this year.
The following letter is being d.
rected to Waterburians:
Dear Friend
For the past ten years 1t has
been the custom throughout the
nation to hold celebrations In honor
of President Roosevelt's Birthday,
the proceeds of which are used one
hundred per cent In the interest
of the sufferers Of Infantlie Par
alysis.
Waterbury Is not holding any
celebration this year because OF
war conditions. Instead, the COM
mittee Is concentrating its efforts
on voluntary contributions and the
March of Dimes campaign. All
contributions to this worthy cause
may be deducted on income tax
returns.
This year more than ever before
a hearty response is needed. AS
perhaps you know, half OF the
money raised is given to the Ma
tional Foundation Of Infantile Par
alysis for assistance in epidemics
and scientific research. The re-
mainder is used for hospital care,
to purchase braces, provide treat
ments and rehabilitate victims OF
this dreadful malady. 1t is I'M
portant that this rehabilitation work
continue and provide places in the
war effort for people who would
have otherwise been helpless Grip
Piles.
The fund retained locally is ca
pably administered by DR.. Edward
Godfrey, william Pape, and Mrs. B.
H. Van Megroot. Those afflicted
locally may receive assistance from
this fund in procuring medical and
mechanical appliances. Infantile
Paralysis is no respecter OF per-
sons.
We hope to surpass last years
showing and toward that end we
are asking you to contribute as
substantially as Is possible. Kindly
make your checks payable to Lewis

your contribution now.
