 Allied Headquarters, North Africa, April 23-(UP)-MaJ. Gen. James H. Doolittle warned last night that American bomberS will strike at Japan again soon in a 'devasting attack that will be continued until the Japanese empire crumbles and they beg for mercy
 ''Our job is to utterly and com pletely defeat the Japanese nation and everything here was lords stand for" Doolittle said in a statement expressing "deep loathing and re- sentiment" at the execution by the Japanese of some of members of his force which raided Tokyo and other Japanese cities April l8,1942.
 ''This can only be accomplished by striking at heart of Japan itself" he said. we started it last year. Soon our bombers will be there again-and not on last years limited effort
 All who participated in last years raid on Japan wish to participate in the next attack, D0olittle said.
 ''If we are so fortunate" he said, i've will drop each bomb in memory of our murdered comrades. Our bombs will not miss their mark"
 He suggested that Japan officially acknowledged the execution of some of the American airnen in the per- verted belief that the American people could be intimidated by such atrocities.
 Tt is unfortunate that the Japa- nese psychology permits them to think that Americans would be any, thing less than fighting mad after such an announcement" he said. "It only renews our determination to do our jobs promptly and thor oughly. We do not seek revenge, but we do want to have a fighting part in correcting situation that threa- tens everything we hold dear"
 Capt. Howard A. 6essler of Arling- ton, Mass. one of the raiders said ''the day will come when these atrocities will be avenged and I hope I am among the avengers."

NEW TAX PLAN HEARING TODAY
Republicans to Make An- other Fight for Carlson
 Version of RumI Idea
By TONY SMITH United Press Stan CorrespOndent

Washington, April g - CUP) - Democratic defections from the ad- ministration's new 50 per cent for giveness pay-as-you-go plan became evident today as the House ways and means committee met to approve it.
 Majority supporters of the Robert Son-Forand proposal for 75 per cent cancellation of 1922 taxes reserved the right to offer their plan as substitute when the committee bill is called up for House action on May 3.
 Republican leaders already have announced their intention of mak- ing another fight for the Carlson version of the Ruml skip-a-year plan or a compromise which would forgive three-fourths of last years income taxes for persons making up to $20 and one-half for those mak- ing more.
 All factions are expected to sup port the 50 per cent proposal in com- mittee today so that it can be made the basis for an open floor battle when the House returns from an Easter recess.
 The recess was agreed to by the Republican leaders after Democratic Leader John Mccormack of Massa- chusettS assured them the pay-aS- you-go bill would be made the first order of business on May 3.
 The Democratic plan was intro. duced in bill form last night by Ways and Means Chairman Robert l.. Doughton of North Carolina. It provides: --. s... .-s...--. ....,.-
 l. Adoption of pay-as-yOu-go taxation in l943 and subsequent years through 20 per cent with holding at the source on wages and salaries to begin July l.
 2. Forgiveness of "the approzi- mate difference" between the 1922 tax, and the tax computed at l94l rates and exemptions.
 3. Amortization of the unf0r- given part of the 1922 liability over a period of three years.
 4. A discount of 10 per cent for persons who pay up their unfor- given l942 taxes by March IS, 1914, and six per cent for those who pay before March 15. l945.
 Doughton contends that this plan would provide 50 per cent for giveness.
 The Republicans rejected this proposal during bipartison com promise conferences on the ground that it would place 8 crushing burden" on millions of taxpayers in the lower income brackets by mak- ing them double up their tax pay ments.

 Moscow, April g. - CUP) - The Red Army beat back wave on wave of German infantry in the north west Caucasus today, killing at least 800 Nazis in I2 hours.
 (Radio Algiers quoted a Swedish report that the Russians have broken into the Caucasion Black Sea port of NovoroSsisk at several points.)
 Tn one sector, the Soviet mid-day comnunique said, the Germans threw 2!OO0 men into a sudden thrust at the Russian lines. The Soviets held their fire until the enemy was at close range, then opened up with a murderous nior- tar, machine-gun and rifle barrage that killed more than POO.
 The survivors fled in disorder, abandoning equipment in their haste to reach the safety of their own lines.
 Three separate counter-attacks were launched by the Germans in another sector in a futile attempt to widen their Kuban bridgehead. but all were repulsed, the cCmmunt- que said.
 Hundreds of Axis soldiers also feil in battle in the Caucasus yes- terday. the Thursday midnight cOEn- munlque said. In one sector alone, 800 were killed in an attempt to dis- lodge the Russians from a newly won height.

Enemy Supplies, Soldiers Spilled Into Mediterranean
EASTER STOCKS
 DEPLETED FAST
Merchants Report Record Business; Beauticians
 Turn Away Many

Easter merchandise stocks ap- peared to be approaching depletion as crowds of shoppers last night and this morning rushed to pick up the remaining food, clothing, candy, flowers, and novelties. Merchants reported record business last night when stores maintained their late Thursday night closing hours and little relief from the jams at coun- ters was expected before closing time tomorrow.
 Unprecedented business was re- ported at local beauty shops as cus- toners called to obtain the latest hair-do to go with the new Easter bonnet. Hundreds of appointments were turned down yesterday and today, some salons reporting that the appointment books were filled a week ago. One local operator estimated more than a thousand dollars worth of business had to be turned away.
 Candy stocks have been virtually depleted, but several store owners said additional supplies are expected toda:'. Lines stood three and four deep last night as consumers sought to purchase the desired sweets. Flowers moved just as rapidly, with most of the potted plants reported to be sold. Florists continued to take corsage orders, however, and indicated enough of the cut flowers were still obtainable.
 With the meat outlook no better than 1t has been for several weeks many local residents appeared doomed for disappointment as far as the traditional Easter ham or turkey was concerned.
 Poultry supplies continued to be low. with all obtainable stock quickly picked up. One local live-poultry market was so besieged by custom CTS a police officer stood by to see that order was maintained. Several wholesalers reported additional ham supplies were distributed but they were far short of the demand.
 With the public's spending power the best in many years much "lux- ury" buying was reported. Pastry orders exceeded all expectations, several bakeries reported. and many requests were turned down. Ra- tioning of sugar was believed par tially responsible for the increase of pastry-buying, but bakery own CTS also expressed the belief that customers were just out looking for another splurge."
 Despite the brisk spending on Easter commodities, however, local residents continued their bond-buy- ing, it was reported. The post office reported heavy buying and the of- ficials of the current war loan drive said the volume of purchasing was very gratifying.
 Increase of mail likewise was noted at the post office as the cus- tomary Easter cards and packages poured in. Many of the messages were headed for service camps. and likewise large amount of free" servicemen's Easter mail was noted.
 Many of the shoppers today were headed from or to church, as Spe- cial services were arranged, and res- idents stopped to observe Good Fri- day with solemn prayer. Banks and public buildings remained closed to- day but activity in the industrial and commercial fields went on as usual.
