Raj Hammers Essen
And Other Targets
In Ruhr Valley
l3 Bombers Are Missing;
April Toll indicative
OF Widening Drive
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 1.-The Raj
made a heavy attack" last night
on Essen and other Ruhr Valley
targets in Western Germany, and
today several squadrons Of heavy
bombers, believed to be American
Liberators or Fortresses, or both,
flew across the Channel to con-
tinue the assault on the Nazi war
potential.
The daylight bombers flew at great
height and appeared headed for the
Cherbourg Peninsula, perhaps to
pound anew Hitlers submarine
bases
The Air Ministry announced that
13 bombers were lost last night dur
ing the fourth attack of April on
the Ruhr Valley, concentration point
of heavy German steel and coal in
dustry.
Continental weather conditions
probably caused the raiders to scat
ter over several targets instead of
loosing one saturation raid, observ-
ers said The other objectives we're
not Immediately identified.
The most recent visit to the much
bombed Ruhr area came last Mon
day night when the Raj battered
Duisburg, II miles west of Essen in
the second raid on that river port
in month.
Essen itself has been bombed SIS
times since the beginning of the
war and 900 tons of blockbusters
were dropped on it in the last pre-
vious raid April 3.
Photographs taken later showed
that the vital Krupp works there
were idle for 10 days because Of the
damage.
Last nights losses brought the
toll of Raj bombers to 6O2 since
the beginning of the year. The
losses were not unexpected consid-
ering the fact that the weight of
bombs delivered on each mission
has tripld since last year
indicative of the new tempo of
the air offensive is the rise In month
ly losses-75 in January, 104 in Feb
ruary, l58 in March and 264 in
April.

President ProcIaims
May 9 Mothers S Day

mothers Of this Nation-"particular-
ly the mothers of men in service and
the younger mothers whose mothers
are overseas recalled today by
President Roosevelt issuing the proc
lamation designating Sunday, May
8 as Mothers Day.
The proclamation directed the dis
play of flags on all public buildings
and called on the people of the
United States to display the flag at
their homes or other suitable places
on that day as 4 public expression
Of our love and esteem for the
mothers Of our country"
The President likewise urged "all
to make the day the occasion for re-
newed private expressions OF love
for our mothers"

House Factions File Reports
|On Rival Income Tax Bills
COP Coils Compromise Measure 'StepchiId'
Of Pressure; Democrats Hit Ruml Plan

Briefly, the Democratic plan would
abate an estimated S4,40O ,000, 900 of
last years taxes by applying the
lower l94l individual rates and high
er exemptions to 1912 income. Col
lection of the 1912 levy would be
spread over three-year period.
Both measures carry a 20 per cent
withholding provision for collection
at the source, designed to go into
effect after July. Taxes collected
in that way would be applied against
the amounts due when income re-
turns are filed by March Is of next
year.
Murray Backs Democratic Bill.
Support for the Democratic bill
came from President Philip Murray
of the CIO. He wrote members of
the House that his organization op-
posed the modified Ruml plan on
the ground that it is "a cloak for a
tax grab for the highest income
brackets"
He asserted that a vote for 1t
must be construed by all Amer
leans as vote on behalf of wealthy
individuals who seek to evade their
obligation to pay their 1912 taxes"
In its report, the Democratic ma
jority said it had "endeavored to
work out a substitute which has the
effect of relieving approximately
one-half of the total individual tax
liability for the year 1912 on the
only basis which we feel such relief
can be justified
After considering various pro-
posals, your committee concluded
that the fairest and most equitable
way of accomplishing this purpose
is to apply the 194l rate and ex-
emption to the 1912 income.
80 While all taxpayers can now
reasonably be expected to prepare
for increases in taxes so long as the
war continues. it may well be that
the public was not prepared for the
rates and exemptions in the 1912
Tax Act. Not only did this act in
crease the burden on the old tax
payers, but. by lowering exemptions,
it brought in over 100000 new tax
payers"
Shift in Stand Seen.
Meanwhile, Senator Bridges, Re-
publican. of New Hampshire, said
last night the Democratic tax bill
lis a far cry from the Ruml plan,'
but might form the basis for tax
program much nearer" the orig
inal Ruml proposal
The Democratic bill, Senator
Bridges said, also is far from the
Carlson modified Ruml plan, bill,
which came within a few votes of
passing in the House, and is from
my point of view not nearly as sat-
isfactory" as the Ruml plan
But it does indicate that Chair
man Doughton and the Ways and
Means Committee have finally yield
ed, at least partially, to the pres
sure of the American people for
some form of pay-as-you-go pro-
gram Senator Bridges continued.
Il hope that with this as a basis
the bill can be substantially i'm
proved and when finally passed will
come nearer to the Ruml plan

BALTIMORE. May 1.-More than

breaking the stabilization program
Then, in an evident appeal to
public support if the mine issue leads
to action by Mr.. Roosevelt, the OPA
chief urged:
Let the American people join us
in holding the line
To-day we are faced by a crisis
on the wage front" Mr.. Brown said.
Demands are now being made for
substantial wage increases. I am
compelled to speak in opposition,
just as a month ago I spoke up in
opposition to the proposed rise in
farm prices. I am compelled to
point out that If this wage increase
is granted increases cannot be de-
MED to workers in other industries
and increased prices cannot be de-
MED to farmers. These increases
in wages and in farm prices can
only mean further rises in the cost
of living. What will it profit work
ers to have more dollars in their pay
envelopes if it takes all these extra
dollars, and perhaps more, to feed
and clothe their families?"
Chief responsibility for control of
the black market. Mr. Brown said,
rested with the American people.
In a short time you will know the
legal price for practically all food
you buy" he said. IF you pay a
higher price you are law violator
If you are charged higher price the
seller is a law violator.
"I do not think the United States
Army could enforce price control
completely without the active CO..
operation of the American people.
You can enforce it if you refuse to
pay the price above those established
by law.
THE claimed justification for this
coal strike would fade entirely if
every American coal miner and
housewife would make and keep this
simple pledge:
Il will not pay one cent above
the legal price

By the Associated Press.

In formal reports, the House
Ways and Means Committees
Democratic majority called on
Congress today to support its
compromise pay-as-you-go tax
plan. while the Republican mi
nority pressed anew for passage
of the Ruml Skip-a-tax-year al
tentative.
The Democrats called the Ruml
plan unfair, a gross violation of
the principle OF ability to pay"
while the minority countered with
an assertion that the opposition
compromise was "a stepchild of po-
litical pressure" and "a conglomer-
alton of stubborn differences"
Under the committee bill" said
the Democrats, there will be no
doubling up for more than 1000 600
new taxpayers, and the old taxpay-
ers while forced to undergo some
doubling up will receive substantial
reduction of their 1912 tax"
The Ruml plan. said the Repub-
licans. lis the outgrowth of reason
and common sense. 1t is as sound
as it is simple. It meets the need
for putting the income tax system
ON genuine ability to pay basis by
gearing current tax payments to
current income, thereby relieving all
taxpayers of any overhanging in
come tax debt.
COP Hits Complications.
The two reports were filed only a
few days after the administration,
through Secretary Of the Treasury
Morgenthau, threw its weight be-
hind the compromise version de-
signed to cancel approximately a.
per cent Of last years individual tax
obligations.
Bluntly, the Republicans con-
tended that the majority bill .soaks
the rich" and socks" most other
taxpayers: that it is so complicated
it will provide a tax lawyers
dream" and further that it is so
unbalanced that 1t will create "a
loan sharks seventh heaven"
With the setting arranged for the
second showdown on the tax issue
early next week, the Republican
members formal dissenting report
outlined their arguments against the
Democratic-d c-drafted measure and
asked Congress to support the modi-
fed Ruml plan for five reasons.
Outline Advantages.
l. 1T accomplishes the objective
Of placing taxpayers on a current,
pay-as-you-earn basis, and not a.
some distant time.
g. 1T involves no doubling up of
payments.
g. 1T treats all taxpayers equit-
ably, and is the only plan which
abates the 1912 tax assessment on
the same progressive principle by
which it was imposed
f. 1T is simple to understand, and
simple to put into operation and
to administer.
5. 1T is the only plan which
meets every problem squarely, OPEN
ly fairly and honestly"
