lid the difference.

up the dlfference.
Congress- chief interest this
week, outside of the tax problem,
is the growing reStlessness of
labor, the increasing number of
strikes and the defiance of gov
eminent authority by John L.
Lewis and other union leaders.
Although the President can order
the army to intervene whenever
labor conditions get out of hand,
it is apparent that this offers no
permanent solution. It is also ap-
parent that if any labor group,
which has had its wages adjusted
according to the Little Steel for
mula," is given another increase,
unions in all fields will demand
similar increases and farmers will
demand higher prices.
The Presidents ''hold the line"
order would indicate that he does
not intend to permit new increas-
es, but he may be forced to use
army persuasion to keep mines
and factories working at full
speed. Congressman are aroused
by the many letters they are re-
ceiving indicating that the public
pictures the labor fight as a battle
between John L. Lewis and the
United States government.
There is, however, some public
support of Mr.. Lewis contention
that miners should be paid from
the time they enter a mine to the
time they leave, rather than just
for the hours spent in actual min
ing. But the operators contend
that the miners are now on a 35-
hour week instead Of 40 in order
to take care of the time involved
in getting to their work. They
are paid time and half after IS
hours and most of them are now
working over 40 hours.
Since miners are now ranked
fifth in average hourly earnings
in the % leading industries of the
United States, it is clear that if
they are given an increase, work
ers in other leading industries
would feel that they were entitled
to more money. What happens on
the mine question, therefore, will
determine the governments labor
stand for some time to come.

Just suppose that we could save
IS 1000 100000 or $4,000, 000, 900 on
the war budget, I still would not
change my suggestions f:: The new
tax program because, with our tre-
mendous national income 1t still
would be needed to combat infla-
ton"
Knutson declared that there has
been enormous waste since the New
Deal came into power" but Nor
genthau retorted that he had mo
knowledge Of such waste"
Secretary Promises
At KnutsonlS request, the secre-
tary promised to insert In the record
tables showing how much money
has been advanced to Latin Ameri-
can republics under lend-lease and
to look up figures on the number Of
soldiers and battleships provided
by these countries.
To Knutsons contention that
United States war expenditures eX-
coed the combined outlay Of Eng
land. China, Germany, italy and
Japan, Morgenthau replied
IT don't know that that Is a fact
but have the utmost confidence
in Congress to supply the amount
Of money necessary to carry on the
war. It's been magnificent"
Morgenthau had estimated that
income payments this fiscal year
would total $152 600, 000, 900 and had
said that now is the time to get
more tax revenue.
Knutson, however, contended that
"a considerable number Of people
have suffered decreases, and I feel
the proposed personal income tax
increase would fall with unequal
burden on the three groups"
Rep. Jere Cooper, D., Tenn, esti-
mated that the proposed program
would life the annual federal tax
burden to at least $40, SOC, 900 900
and NorgccthaC said this SIM
would approximate onehalf Of cur
rent yearly war expenditures. BOND
sales, he added, would make up an
other one-third of the war cost.

"By q tnasterfully executed ma

Advancing UP to six miles In neigh

flcers and men were killed at one

ammunition, arms and plundered
goods were captured,
The Soviets also advanced up to
six miles on the approaches to
Gomel, key to the southeastern de-
lenses OF White Russia. Twenty
towns and villages were captured
in the face of fierce enemy counter
attacks in which 1900 Germans were
killed.
There was no fresh news Of the

Roosevelts nomination at the 1914
convention. That Is not to suggest
that Hull has sanctioned any cam
paien In his behalf, although he
must be aware that a good many
conservatives In his party would like
to support him against the Presi.
dent.
Sen. Harry r. Byrd, D., Va, Is an
other who figures In speculation
about convention opponents for Mr.
Roosevelt. And Farley is advanced
for one end Of the ticket or the
other as q man whose pull with or.
ganiZation Democrats Is very great
and whose name would have
substantial significance In such
states as Massachusetts, and New
York. m 4
Farley Failure
Farley tried to set up O Hull
Farley ticket to seek the 1910 NOM
nations but Il got nowhere. In
protest against a third term, Farley
finally permitted his own name TO
be submitted for the Presidential
nomination at the Chicago conven-
ton, but that was o gesture, and
nothing more.
Now the conservatives are right
back where they started In 1889 and
II their campaign has advanced at
all, 1t Is In the bitterness with which
some Of the southern Democratic
congressman and governors and q
scattering IN the north increasingly
resent the Roosevelt administration.
It Is in that hot feeling that the
conservatives may finally strike pay
dirt even though they are unable
to prevent Mr.. Roosevelt's renom-
nation.
Some Of the southern conserva-
tives, notably Byrd and Gov. Sam
Jones Of Louisiana, have threatened
In nationally circulated magazines
that there would or should be poll
tical rep-isals against the New Deal.
A question now developing in the
minds Of Roosevelt politicians
Is whether o third party could be
organized next year to bolt q Roose-
welt fourth term candidacy.
A Jeffersonian Democratic party
organized In the south conceivably
would cause considerable election
day damage II southern leaders got
together on 1t. It would be o d.
hcult task but one which has not
yet been marked down as ifnpossi-

the broadcast said, anti-aircraft
batteries shot down Is heavy bomb
ers.
German planes retaliated weakly
last night by scattering o few
bombs over East Anglia that caused
only slight damage and casualties.
London had brief air raid alarm
opened fire, but no bombs fell In the
capital. One German raider was
shot down.
The British night raiders drop
ped everything from pound
super block busters to two-pound
incendiaries on Kassels industrial
plants and returning pilots reported
great, billowing fires were left burn
ing.
Henschel and Sohn, the most i'm
portant locomotive manufacturer IN
Germany has three huge plants at
Kassel turning out tanks, armored
cars and trucks In addition to loco
motives, and there also are at least
four big aircraft works. A railway
marshalling yard, two power sta
lions and q gas works provide other
priority targets.
Kassel, a city Of 2170oo persons,
lies rs miles south OF Hanover on
one Of the main railway routes
from the Rhineland to Berlin.
Watchers on the English south
east coast said the bomber forma-
tionS appeared to be even larger
than those dropped upwards Of l.
900 tons of bombs each on Hagen
Friday night and Munich Saturday
night.
Bombers also appeared TO be over
the French coast almost continu-
ously last night during the artillery
duel between British and German
long-range guns across the English
Channel. Heavy bomb explosions
were heard as the British planes
attempted to knock out the gun en-
placements and German anti-air-
craft batteries replied with heavy
barrage that Illuminated the coast
The loss Of "a bombers last night
was in sharp contrast to the low
losses Of the two previous nights
two on the Hagen raid and nine on
the Munich raid. There was no i'm
mediate explanation of the diverg-
ence In losses, though earlier I'M
official observers had suggested that
the increasing strain on the Nazi
defenses had begun to take its toll
Although the Raj had raided
Kassel heavily only once before
the city has been attacked a total
Of 10 times. A number of raids early
In the war were light but the city
suffered heavy damage last May
when the Raj broke the big Elder
dam. Parts of the Kassel city were
flooded with as much as five feet OF
water.
Kassel was the target for the
RATS first 500-ton raid on the
night of August 81, 1912. The city
last was attacked in daylight on
July IS and again July 30 by Amer
lean Flying Fortresses. Eleven forts
were lost on the 2sth and 20 on the
30th. but they also attacked Osch-
ersleben on the latter date.

The victory, coupled with the
mid-September conquests of Lac
and Salamaua, put MacArthurs
troops astride the 70.mile wide
Dampier straits separating New
Guinea from New Britain, site Of
the enemy's main southwest Pacific
stronghold Of Rabaul.
1--WE have established ourselves In
q magnificent position and one that
will ultimately ilnperil the Japanese
bases on the north coast Of New
Guinea, including Madang and Ra-
baul," Brig. Gen. Charles H. Will
loughby, MacArthur's intelligence
chief, told a press conference.
Willoughby revealed that the Sal
amaua, Lac and Finschhafen carn-
paign. which began with the land
ing Of American reinforcements ct
Nassau bay on June 80, was con-
Quoted by numerically inferior
forces which knocked out the best
part Of five or six enemy divisions
at relatively light cost to themselves.
He paid tribute to the gallantry
OF the Australian troops who bore
the brunt of the offensive, and to
the textbook classic" tactics en-
ployed by Macarthur which pre-
vented the Japanese from concen-
trating their superior strength.
However, he said, There Is q
manpower shortage. We can't use
these units to the point Of exlaaus-
ton. Give us more and we win do
more"
