least l6 billion more than last year.
1t IS estimated that the new income
tax plan Will take care of only three
Of this extra Is billion dollars.
The most likely new tax would
be a sales tax-although there are
many members of congress who
are unalterably opposed to a gen.
eral sales tax which they say hits
the lowest income group too hard.
II a sales tax can't be put through,
some enforced savings plan may be
the final answer.
For many weeks there has been
great deal Of talk here about a
possible complete breakdown of the
Once OF Price Administration,
which would mean a breakdown of
price ceilings and rationing and
would probably result in prices GO
ing sky high. Most of this talk
started when a number of OPA ex-
ecutlves resigned, but there seems
to be no good reason to conclude
that such q breakdown is imminent.
OPA is having its troubles. but its
head, Prentiss M. Brown, SAYS that
the breakdown talk is absurd and
that OPA is now stronger than il
has been in months.
We now have working for OPA."
Mr.. Brown explained, "about l6O.-
600 persons, Of whom 100000 are
volunteers and $4,000 are paid en-
ployees. We can stand the resigna-
tlons of seven or eight or of 40 or

which started Germany toward de-

Do the little minorities who cause
these strikes realize this-or do

were close to the German borders.

of Russia intervene on the east; and

Die as Bomb
Hits School
Americans Go Up
for First Time to
Beat Off Raiders

LONDON, Jan. 20 (UP).-
American fliers in fighter planes
helped the Royal Air Force beat
off sharp German air attack di.
rected against London today that
brought many casualties including
&c children killed and II injured
in suburban school by one bomb.
Another bomb wrecked three
houses, killing six women and 10
children, including two infants
asleep in their cribs.
The action of the Yanks was
the first such aid by American
fighters who, however. did not
succeed in engaging any OF the
German formations.
Raj planes in a series Of spec
tacular dogfights from the chan
mel coast to London brought down
at least IL Nazi planes.
SHOPPERS GUNNED
The German attack was carried
out in obvious retaliation for the
heavy Raj assaults on Berlin. It
brought the briskest day air ac-
ton to the London area since the
1910 blitz. y
Only about half a dozen Of
about 30 German planes, taking
advantage of irregular cloud cover,
penetrated to the London area.
The Nazi attack was of the
nuisance variety in which the chief
sufferers were school children. Pc
destrians and shoppers machine
gunned in the streets.
The plane which attacked the
London school flew so low il al.
most hit the chimney tops Of
houses along the street, according
to witnesses.
MANY CHILDREN ESCAPE
Witnesses believed il deliberately
bombed the school which is the
largest building in an area that
contains no military detectives.
About 600 children attend the
school but only about Is were in
the building when the bomb
struck, the others having gone
home to lunch. Most of those who
remained were young children who
were being served lunch at the
school.
The building was badly battered
by the explosion and only few
walls remained Rescue workers
removed the bodies of 30 children
and were searching for additional
Victims.
