D. {. Representation
Appeal Is Renewed
By Senator Capper
Co-uuthor of Amendment
Resolution Declares D. 6.
Is Deprived Of Rights

Senator Capper, Republican
of Kansas made an appeal in
the Senate today for early ap-
proval by Congress of a new
Joint resolution for a constitu-
tional amendment that would
pave the way for granting ma
tional representation to the dis
franchised people of the Dis
trict.
Co-sponsor of the resolution which
has been introduced in the House
by Chairman Summers of the Judic-
larry Committee, Senator Capper told
the Senate that residents of the Dis
trict are Americans who have been
deprived of their rights, privileges
and dignities which are enjoyed by
other Americans, whether native
born or naturalized
He pointed out that the new reso-
luton embodies simply a grant of
power for Congress. Containing no
legislative provisions, it leaves Con-
gress to decide the extent to which
representation would be granted.
Resolution to Be Inserted.
Senator Capper's appeal followed
granting of his request to have
printed In the Congressional Record
copies of resolutions indorsing the
joint representation resolution drawn
up by the Committee on National
Representation of the Washington
Board of Trade and subsequently
adopted by the organization Board
Of Directors.
These resolutions" Senator Cap
per said, will inform the Senate
and the country of the long, hard
fight the residents of the District of
Columbia have been making to at
tain for themselves and their chill
dren the status of American citizens.
The residents of the District of Co.
lumbia are Americans, many of
them Americans of several genera
tons, who nevertheless have been
and are deprived of the rights and
privileges and dignities that most OF
us have been brought up to be-
lieve are inherent rights for all

Rum| Plan S Approval
By House Predicted
By Republicans
Caucus Slated Monday
To Map Fight; Bill O. KID
By Committee Hit
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Republican Steer
ing Committee laid plans today
to align the .party's strength be-
hind the Ruml plan to abate a
years income taxes and put the
Nations 100000 taxpayers on
a pay-as-you-go basis.
Minority Leader Martin reported
the committee supported the Ruml
plan unanimously, and predictions
were made freely by Republicans
that sufficient strength can be mus
tered to pass the "skip-a-year" tax
proposal in the House.
Mr.. Martin, in whose Office the
Steering Committee met, said IAN
overwhelming majority" of his
party's 209 members would vote for
the Ruml plan, and the committee
arranged for party caucus Monday
to mobilize for the floor battle on
the abatement issue.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee has turned down all proposals
for canoeing any tax obligations in
the transition to a pay-as-you-go
basis.
Mr.. Martin told newspapermen
that unless everybody in the coun-
try is going to pay more than one
years taxes this year." the plan
suggested by Beardsley Ruml, New
York banker, and embraced in a bill
by Representative Carlson. Repub-
lican, of Kansas, is the only answer
to the problem of putting income
taxpayers on a current basis.
However, it was not expected the
minority party would vote solidly,
as Representative Gearhart, Repub-
lican. of California is one of the most
vigorous opponents of the Ruml
plan. A Republican caucus does
not bind all party members.
Leaders of the skip-a- tax year
proposal described as "a great dis
appointment to the taxpayers" the
income tax collection plan approved

British Air Minister
Tells Commons Essen
Ruid Was Heaviest
By the Associated Press.

, BY me Associated Press.
LONDON, March 1.-THE
RATS ceaseless bombing often
sive, now showering German
Europe with fire and explosives
at the rate of more than 10000
tons a month. has already
wrecked more than 1000 Ger
man factories and left more
than 100000 Germans home
less, Air Minister Sir Archibald
Sinclair told the House of Com
mons today.
Declaring that Photographic re-
connaissance showed that the raid
on Essen, home of the Krupp arse
mails, on the night of March Sc
probably was the heaviest blow
struck at German war industry in
the whole of the bomber offensive, u
he disclosed that already 1000 tons
Of bombs have been dropped on the
Reich this month.
The devastation at Essen, he said
was comparable only to that caused
at Cologne last May in the first OF
the RATS 1000 bomber raids.
Direct damage to steel works In
the Ruhr and Saar, he declared, had
cut 1,250,000 tons from Germany
annual steel-making capacity.
Radio Works Damaged.
Damage to the Phillips radio works
at Eindhoven, Holland, cost the Ger
mans the loss of millions of radio
! tubes annually, a critical loss il
modern warfare, he added
The 1000 tons of bombs dropped
In the rising offensive in Marcel
| compared with 10000 tons dropped
in February, greatest month yet fol

were dropped on three different

Promising even greater exertion.
by the Raj, Sir Archibald added {
statement which seemed an indirec
answer to criticism of the Unitet
States Army Air Forces day-bomb
ing policy.
The Americans are lion-hearted
skjllful fighters" he said. "Thei
methods are complement to oul
own. They are precious and vel
come allies. The most American
bombers come to take part in the al
offensive the better we shall bt
pleased and the sooner the malig
nant power of Germany will b,
broken"
Transport Command Created.
Sir Archibald, in introducing ar
Air Ministry appropriation bill. alst
announced the creation of an RAJ
transport command
The new command is expected t.
be counterpart Of the United
. States Transport Command, whose
activities in building a round the
world air system have caused grave
concern in Britain over the British
postwar position in commercial ali
competition.

D. {. Potato Supply
Seen Exhausted in
z or ; Days
Government Priorities
System Blamed; Other
Vegetables Scarce

A growing scarcity of potatoes
was reported here today by
produce merchants. Shipments
of other vegetables and fruits
into the District also were re-
ported to be slow, but the short
ages were said to be not as seri-
Gus as the potato situation.
The only vegetable which whole
salers said still is coming in album
dainty is carrots.
Not single sack of Maine pota-
toes is coming into the District,
dealers said, and present stocks on
hand cannot be expected to last
more than two or three days. This
area relies almost completely on
Maine potatoes at this season of
the year, it was said. The few po-
tatoes being shipped in from Penn
sylvania will provide virtually no
relief from the famine expected
here.
The priorities system set up by
the Government to control the ship
ment of potatoes out of Maine was
blamed for the shortage here and
in other cities, including New York,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit and
Chicago Under a ruling of the
Office of Defense Transportation
last week. certified potatoes must be
shipped first, then supplies for the
armed forces, followed by selected
seed potatoes. Civilian supplies are
fourth on the list.
Price Ceilings Involved.
Dealers also explained that the
OPA growers ceilings imposed on all
kinds Of potatoes except those raised
for seed had induced many pro-
ducers to use their crops as seed
potatoes.
One local wholesaler said he has
been forced to limit orders to two
sacks per customer and to accept
no orders from strangers. Even SO
he did not expect his stocks to last
more than two days, with no fur
ther shipments in sight.
Scarcity Of fruits and other vege-
tables was blamed on the unfavor-
able price ceilings existing in this
area. Wholesalers complained that
they could not afford to buy many
commodities at the prevailing mar
ket price which, in many instances,
has risen above the legal maximums
here. Ceilings for wholesalers and
retailers are based on the highest
price they charged during a five
day period late in February.
Cabbage, beans and other green
vegetables were chiefly affected by
the squeeze" it was reported. For
example. one dealer said, his ceiling
on cabbage was SITS hamper bas-
ket. containing one and half
bushels. The prevailing market
price for cabbage, however, he said
is $3.75 to 81.
A similar condition exists in the
market on beans, in which the pre-

Army troops all but completed
the enlightenment of wanna to-
day and left the Germans only
a narrow corridor for retreat to-
ward Smolensk from that
stronghold 125 miles west OF
Moscow.
The pincers about wanna was
frightened by the capture of Isakova
IS miles southeast of the city on the
wanna Kaluga Railway, the Rus
slams said.
Advancing westward along a wide
front west of Gzhatsk, the Soviet
forces were pushing forward with
the utmost speed. Field observers
said the Germans we're falling back
on prepared positions around various
settlements, digging in their tanks
as pill-boXes and utilizing streams
and forests as defense lines.
(The Russian noon COM
munique said in broadcast by
the Soviet radio monitor in
London that the Germans are
throwing numerically superior
forces against Red Army lines
south of Kharkov, the Russian
Pittsburgh" A "ferocious en-
gagement" was reported con-
tinuing and the battle so far
appeared to be indecisive.
(Frontline dispatches said the
Russians beat off a series of
violent Nazi tank and infantry
assaults south and southwest of
Kharkov, killing 800 Germans
and destroying 26 tanks in one
sector and wrecking nine tanks
in another0
Nazis Forced Back.
Red Star, Army newspaper, said a
fight ragged all day at one important
water barrier in the wanna sector,
but Red Army forces broke the Nazi
defenses at two points, captured
several strongly fortified settle
ments. and forced the Germans to
retreat.
Russian artillery blew holding de-
tachments from a forest settlement
in a neighboring sector, inflicting
large losses in men and equipment
the newspaper said.
Although hampered by German
mlnefleldS and destruction of
bridges, Russian forces were re-
ported to have captured additional
settlements and wiped out pre-
viously blockaded Nazi garrisons
south of Bryansk. Red Star said
the Germans launched numerous
counterattacks, paced by planes and
tanks.
Another sector in which Red
Army troops were pressing heavily
on the invaders was south of Lake
linen, the government newspaper
IZveStia said.
Izvestia announced that Marshal
Semeon Timoshenkos forces driving
along the highway from Demyansk
had taken Staro-Ramushevo and
were now within Is miles of the big
German base at Staraya Russo, the
former health resort near Lake H.

said the Germans were withdrawing
from the path of the Soviet advance
under cover Of intense artillery and
mortar fire.
