BY JAMES F. KING

LONDON Commons laughed when Prime Minister Churchill in explaining how German parachut- ists rescued Mussolini said
 Tt certainly shows that there are many possibilities of this kind open in modern warfare"
 But the next day many a mem per of Commons was scratching his head and muttering in his beer T wonder, could it be . .."
 Britons expect the spectacular from their Winnie" and they wouldn't put it past him to try to kidnap Hitler.
 Winston Churchill delights in tantalizing predictions. And they usually ring true-if you can read them correctly. On June 30 he told Commons that it was very prob- able there will be heavy fighting in the Mediterranean and elsewhere before the leaves of autumn fall Less than month later-July 10 "a great Allied force invaded Si- ely.
 So when Churchill says Musso- lini's rescue certainly shows that there are many possibilities of this kind open in modern war" Britons sit up.
 Some members of Commons who laughed loudest at the time of the remark swear they saw twinkle in Churchill's eye as he spoke. Overnight they began to conjure up pictures of further exploits of this kind-but next time backfiring on Hitler like so many other things have.
 Why not descend on Hitler's headquarters on the Eastern front?" some asked
 Why not on his crows nest at Berchtesgaden?p There is plenty of reason to be- lieve that Allied intelligence keeps track of the fuehrer's whereabouts.
 Some months ago Hitler's arrival at Munich was followed by a spec ial air raid on the Brown House. It just missed him.
 It well could be that Commando headquarters here are exploring possibilities of Kidnapping the feuh- Ter. And if you told Briton that, he'd only smile:
 "Blimey, that's our Winnie all right"

Tax Showdown
Now al Hand
Shifting Sentiment
Confuses Issue
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Ma, IA - (P)
- The Senate pointed ay to-
ward showdown on income tax
abatement with a shifting tide
of sentiment leaving the admin
istration's best strategists in
doubt about the result.
Called into session an hour
earlier than usual a am. EWT)
members had before them an
amendment by Senator Ellen
der CD-La) to the new pay as
yOu-go revenue bill which would
require payment of a full year 5
back taxes in 10 semi-annual
installments beginning ne X t
March IS.
The Ellender amendment en-
countered strong opposition
from Chairman George (D-Ga)
Of the finance committee, who
had proposed abatement of rs
per cent of a years tax, as well
as from supporters of the modi-
fled skip a year bill.
George told reporters he did
not know whether it would be
possible to reach a final vote
during the day because of many
other amendments in the offing
The real test Of sentiment is
expected to come when George S
rs per cent abatement proposal
is formally offered as a substi-
tute for the section of the fl
nance committee approved bill
which would cancel the lesser
of either 1912 or 1913 taxes for
all persons except those with
abnormal "windfall" incomes.
With the issue so close that
five doubtful votes may turn the
tide, administration lieutenants
said they could not guess the
outcome because of an apparent
growth of opposition against
any tax abatement. Previously
they had counted on most Of
the opponent ! the committee
bill supporting the George pro-
posal as a compromise.
One of these latter, Senator
LaFollette prog Wis said he
would not vote for the George
plan because he did not believe
in using flat percentage meth
Cd of cancelling back taxes.
George told the senate yes
terday the time had passed when
Congress could think of putting
taxpayers on a pay-asy ou-go
basis without cancelling some of
their back taxes. 1t is talking
in circles, he added, to say that
the government is goinA to lose
any revenue when il has the
power to raise taxes at any
time.

Occupy Reich
Allied Plan
Will Profit from
Mistakes Of '18

LONDON, May IA - (P) -
The Allies are determined to
avoid one of the major mistakes
of the 1918 Armistice and in
tend to occupy Germany and
Italy with their military forces
lock, stock and barrel when the
final collapse comes, il was as
serted today in informed quar-
tiers.
Furthermore, it was under
stood that during the period of
military occupation the Allied
leadership has decided to deal
only with military authorities
and only on an unconditional
surrender basis.
If the military authorities in
the occupied countries cannot
rcestablish order, the Allies will
do the job themselves in the
transition period until the peo-
pie have the opportunity to
choose their own free govern
ments, it was said.
This time there won't be any
armistice, one Well-placed in
formant asserted. German mil
itarism is going to be crushed
once and for all.
The failure to occupy Ger
many in the last war was re-
sponSible in large measure for
this war. That mistake will not
be repeated "

Soviet Moves
Slowly Ahead
Stubborn koxi
Defense Roses
BY EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, May IL w -
Battling against still-stubborn
German resistance in the Kuban,
the Red Army has advanced in
some sectors and captured addi-
tional lines Northeast of the
Black Sea port of Novorossisk
dispatches from the front said
today.
This dispatches did not indi-
cate the extent of the Red Ar
mys most recent gains, but said
that definite progress had been
made in the face of strong Ger
man counterattacks.
Yesterday frontline dispatches
said the Red Army had smashed
into secondary German defenses
Northeast of the city and was at
lacking the inner defenses un-
der a tremendous barrage OF
hundreds of big guns.
(The midday communique, as
recorded in London by the Sow
let Monitor, said the heavy bar
rage was continued during the
night)
The artillery barrage was so
heavy, these advices added that
it presaged a final big push to
shove the Germans into the sea.
The air war, which currently
is fiercer than anything on land,
was mounting today following
widespread action ranging from
the Central front to Warsaw,
capital Of Poland, which the
Russians bombed Wednesday
night.
Soviet airmen blasted at many
detectives during the night and
raided railway junction and
communication lines.
German planes also were ac-
tive last night, striking at Liski,
about As miles Southeast of Vor-
onezh on the Southern front. A
dispatch from the kuban to L.
yes I a, official government
newspaper, related one instance
where German air units were
superior to the Russian, but this
was not taken to mean that the
Russians had lost air superior
ity, as it probabl'' referred to
only one battle.
Soviet forces made additional
night forays behind the Nazi
lines in the mud flats and marsh
areas Of the kuban, were re-
ported 10 have sunk eight boats
loaded with German troops.
CThe midday communique as
heard in London said that Rus
sian ships and planes sank two
enemy transports and two traw-
lers in the Berents Sea in the far
North.)
The Russians announced that
they had seized the initiative in
the Lislchansk area of the DON
cts front after several days of
fierce German counter-attacks,
had driven forward considerably
and had improved their position.
This was the best progress re-
ported from the Donets since the
Germans began their counter
attacks week ago.
Virtually no action was re-
ported from the other fronts.
