Another House bill would prohibit states attorneys and their assist ants from engaging in private prac- tice. Similar proposals in other ses. sions have been killed of.
 A House bill would amend the charter of the Hartford Electric Light Company tc permit it to merge or consolidate with any other power company in the state.
 Other House bills provided:
 Appointment of Hallet F. Clark. Winchester, as Litchfield county commissioner.
 Warren A. Field as judge of the Milford town court.
 Authorization for the Mohegan Tribe of Indians to institute civil ac on against the state for any treaties, contracts or other negotia- tions, signed between the tribe and state on May IS, 1881.

INCOME CEILING
 STIRS UP FIGHT
tContinued from Page D

Sen. John A. Danaher, R., Conn, said he was prepared to lead 8 fight against the presidential recommen- dation when the first tax bill reaches the Senate. floor.
 Putting a limit on the earning power of men who are capable of commanding high incomes through their individual efforts isn't going to pay the cost of this war;" he said.
 And presidential directives which cover only part of the field isn't the answer either. The answer is in the tax laws-closing the loop holes through which some extremely wealthy are able to evade their honest share of the burden by oper- ation of sideline enterprises which consistently lost them money"
 Danaher said he would propose an amendment to the first tax bill to forbid such practice. A similar a. mendment he sponsored in the last Congress the Senate but was elim- mated by the House.
 That's one of the biggest loop holes in our whole tax program, |" he said. ''It enables some wealthy men to operate losing enterprises, not only writing of their losses but also to deduct from total income from investments, not salary-the entire operating costs of such ven- tlree. It enables others to maintain expensive racing stables and be angels for Broadway shows. Actual ly, 1t means that those enterprises are being financed by the general public since they use money that righ6tully should come to the public treasury through taxation"
 Chairman Walter F. George. D., Ga, of the Senate Finance commit tee which handles tax legislation, declined to comment on that por- ton of the Presidents program pending further study. 1t was re- called, however, that when the mat ter of salary limits was discussed in the last Congress, George op- posed the plan generally but said that if a limit were placed on salar- les 1t should be extended to cover all sources of income.

amount to roughly five per cent of the Individuals paycheck, accord ing to con. essional estimates. If this were adopted and the Victory tax were increased to 10 per cent, as proposed in the Senate, it would mean a IS total deduction from wages and salaries. Some provis- ion would be made for refunding part. of the money after the war.
 In addition to this, there is i11- creaslng sentiment in Congress for the Imposition of a sales levy and some form of enforced savings to meet President Roosevelt's request for additional revenue.
 Robertson estimated that a 10 per cent sales tax would yield about $5,000, ,000,00O if only government purchases were exempted. The re- turn would be much lower if other commodities, such as food stuffs, were exempted, he explained.
 The Treasury Department also is understood to be working on a spending tax program, a form of modified sales levy which would place payments on basis of the less-you-spend, the less you pay. But there is little sentiment for 1t in either house.

 Dr. Sagansky, 43-year-old Har- yard graduate who once practiced in Scolly Square, was described. by Bushnell and acting State Public Safety Director John F. Stokes as the leader of the group. They said he had 8 police record of N12 arrests since 1916 and was known among night club habitw:S as Doc Jasper. |.
 He, with Miss Goldblatt and Peter Kelly were arrested at the Singers sumptuous apartment. The others were captured during raids on five other places in Boston's west and south ends. A group of police aslo went to Sagansky's Brookline reS- idence where they reputedly seized a revolver and other evidence in a locked closet.
 All raids were made at time when underlings were reporting at the various pay of offlceS and sev- eral were seized with cash and pool slips in their possession. Records also were seized in a CharleStown hall the ring used.
 Bushnell said that the raids were scheduled for last November but were postponed when his staff was called into the investigation of the Cocoanut Grove night club holo-

 American pilots estimated that between 20 and 30 MesSerschmittS attacked them. Some of the Ger man planes got through the escort of P-38 fighters to shoot at the bombers.
 Bombers of the Royal Air Force joined the American forces in at- tacking Axis concentration points along the coast road running south from Tunis. Bisley bombers ham, mered at important road functions along the south coast of Tunis dur. ing the night.
 These attacks were aimed at Axis supply lines that have been moving men and materials southward to join hard-pressed Italian and few German troops in southern Tun'sia.
 American B-26 Martin bombers attacked one very important objec- tive-the high road bridge at La Hencha, between Sousse and Sfax.
 Effectiveness Proven
 Today's operations demonstrated the growing effectiveness of the new Allied air command under Mai. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, who was named chief of overall air operations in North Africa last week.
 The Axis has been undergoing day and night bombings from Bizerte to Tripoli.
 Lockheed Lightnings raked the road from Tripoli to Ben Gardene, slightly inland from the coastal road between Tripoi and Gabes, yester- day. The American planes attacked a large truck convoy carrying Ger man troops and supplies to Ben Gardene. destroying 50 trucks.
 The Germans sought to retaliate for the heavy bombing but their ef- forts were described as ineffective. Junkers-88's and Messerschmitts as- saulted an American air field but P-40 Warhawks intercepted the flight and shot down one Junkers and ore Messerschimtt. Another Junkers was damaged.
 There was no Allied loss in this engagement.
 On the ground, there was little more than patrol activity. No news had been received of the outcome of a French German battle reported raging in south central Tunisia.
 The total score of the days air fighting was 16 Axis planes de- stroyed and 10 damaged in the air and at least % destroyed on the ground. The Allies lost one P-38.

 Judge McEvoy warned DelGobbo to remain on good behavior at the reformatory, stating it was not in the power of the court to give him prison sentence. Before passing of sentence Atty. Weisman quoted from famous jurists' decision, "The court has exhausted every means of trying to reform him and therefore he is discharged" Judge McEvoy in returning the judgment said: "The law is still more power full than the individual" The youth has 8 long court record.
 Samuel P. Herman, alias Philip Glad, former Waterburian and now of Washington, D. c. pleaded guilty to charges of abandoning his wife and non-support and was sentenced to serve to years in states prison on the first count, and given a sus- pended sentence of one year in county jail on the second, the suls- pension depending on rendering of support to his family.
 Herman was accused of abandon ing his wife, Aug. IS, 1888 and later refusing to support her and two minor children, one 12 and the other Il years old. His wife obtained a divorce last Sept. IS in an uncon- tested action charging assertion. Public Defender Edward T. Carmody who appeared for the accused, stated his client on learning that his wife had divorced him expressed inten- tion of marrying another woman in- volved in the case.
 The complainant in the action was Evelyn Van Densen Herman, whom the accused married June g, 1926. His lawyer stated that Unless Her. man reported for his job in the war department in a few days he would be taken of the civil service job list.
 Suspended sentences of one year: in jail were imposed on Frank Daury 26, of 18O Getldes terrace and Dom- enic Capobianco, A, of 603 North Main street, after they changed pleas of not guilty of robbery with violence to guilty. They were or- dered to pay court costs and were placed on probation for a year.
 They were arrested following theft of $4S from R. Fuller of this city whom they had taken on as a pas- senger in their car Nov. g. The court was told the youths offered the man a ride to Hartford and following an argument about payment drove back toward '. 'aterbury and committed the theft.

stormed and took Q strongly forti- fled point. In another sector a daring Red Army combat patrol thrust through the enemy lines to railroad station where they blew up an ammunition train.
 Possibly foreshadowing an early offensive on the Black sea front, Russian planes in a surprise night attack heavily raided the important Krasnodar airdrome, 200 miles northwest of the present Caucasus fighting zone, 160 miles south of Rostove and 60 miles inland from the big Novorossisk naval base. Krasnodar is Q key town on the Kropotllin Novorossisk railroad, connecting with the main Caucasus line.
 Challenged by Enemy
 The noon comnunique reported that the raiding planes destroyed 10 grounded German planes, dam- aged about 30 and shot down two enemy fighters which challenged them.
 Six towns had been captured in north Caucasus fighting yesterday.
 The Russians were driving up from Georgievsk, 275 miles south. east of Rostov, toward the rich Ku. ban valley and Armavir, 165 miles southeast of Rostov.
 Dispatches indicated that they might soon reach Nevinnomysskaya, 30 miles north of Georgievsk, the point at which the Kuban river crossed the railroad from the east, to parallel 1t for 90 miles and then, crossing again to the west at Kro- potkin, empty into the Black sea.
 Dispatches reported that Russian tanks and Cossack cavalry were driving up the Caucasus railroad and on its Hanks, along roads strewn with dead Germans and the wreckage of their machines. the cavalrymen sabering fleeing troops and the horses trampling them. Prisoners were reported streaming to the rear. Infantrymen sur rounded isolated German sacrifice garrisons at fortified points and wiped out all who would not sur- render.
 The noon communique said that in the Stalingrad city fighting, the Russian storm parties hit the Ger man lines at the western side of the city, smashed into the outskirts against savage resistance, and broke into the German lines.
 Stubborn fighting occurred in every street, courtyard and build ing" the communique said.
 "The Germans launched six counter-attacks. All were repelled.
 "The Russians wiped out up to 8 battalion (1,000 menD of the en- emy and captured prisoners and spoils."
 In the northern factory area of Stalingrad the Russians captured several streets, with 20 dugouts and 26 block houses, and captured two field guns, four anti-tank guns, 19 machine guns and many tommy guns and rifles yesterday, the mid- night communique said.
 On the central front two German detahcmentS tried to reconnoiter in the Russian front line area west of Rzhev, 135 miles west of Moscow, during the night, the noon commu- nique said. Artillery and infantry opened up on them and inflicted losses.
 Counter-attacking Germans in the Velikie Lulki area of the central front had tried a disastrous coun- ter-attack yesterday. Seven tanks supporting the infantry hit a Red army mine field. Two were blown up, the others disabled. The Ger man infantrymen were routed by machine gun and rifle fire. In an- other sector the Russians captured a self-propelling gun, IA machine guns, 40 tommy guns, many rifles and g war materials dump.

U. S. Navy Takes Over Field
Near Georgetown For
Training Activities
AUXILIARY STATION

The U. S. Navy announced it has
taken over the airport near George
town and will use it for training
activities. Navly personnel moved
in last Saturday and flights began
Monday. The airport will be an
auxiliary of the Wildwood, N. j.,
Navy Air Station and according to
an agreemnt with the Sussex Coun-
ty Levy Court, which controls the
title to the field, the Navy will
operate it under the terms of a
temporary agreement pending a
decision as to whether the field will
be turned over to the Navy on a
permanent basis or only for the
duration. The airfeld-one of the
three originally built by the Levy
Courts in their respective counties
is on the road leading to Spring
field Cross Roads and is very near
Georgetown. The fields started by
the New Castle County Levy Court
and Kent Levy Court have been en-
larged for and are operated by
Army Air Force units. The Sus-
sex County Levy Court held a spec
ial session on Saturday at which
time it passed special resolution.
