Tangney, Driscoll New Mayoralty Candidates
Democratic Aldermen Are Likely to String Along
 With Party Leaders

Hints that the Democratic aldermen may refuse to be dictated to in their choice of the new mayor, if and when Mayor John S. Mona gan resigns to take a federal appointment, were heard to- day. However, 1t is believed likely that any incipient revolt against the party leadership will be subdued early and that the Demo cratic members of the board will "go along" on any choice made by party leaders.
 Party leaders were obviously not worried by the signs of 0 possible re- volt in the aldermanic ranks, ap. parently banking on Q belief that If there are any defections they will be easily offset by two Republican aldermanic votes which the Demo- crats regard as almost certain.
 The general belief in city hal circles Is that Mayor Monagan will resign to accept an appointment tc the staff of the Allen Property Gus todian's office. Prior to that h. would appoint Q new alderman who would become president of thu board and then become mayor wheI MT. Monagan resigned. The cit! hall dope" is that Executive Secre tary John P. FitZlnaurice is almos assured of the mayoralty when MT Monagan leaves. Other part, sources believe that Controller Cor nelius F. Maloney is the leading prospect.
 The Democratic aldermen, if the! should refuse to follow the wiShe' of party leaders, would probably back either Majority Leader Patrick Shea or Alderman Daniel DriScoll The dopsters have 1t that the party leaders will forestall any such plar by promising MT. Shea the presi- dency of the board, which carries a salary of $750 8 year.
 An uncertain factor in the pie ture is Democratic Town Chairman Maurice F. Tangney. He is re- garded as a possible choice for mayor, or, if MT. Monagan should decide to remain in the mayoralty, as an almost certain choice for the vacancy on the Board of Aldermen.
 Party leaders said "off the rec ord" today that they believed that the Democratic members of the board would approve their selection when MT. Monagan is ready to resign.

Taxpayers Must File 1922 Income Return
No Exemption Regardless of What Action on Pay.as- YOu.GO Plan Is Taken; DOughtOn's State-
 ment Clarifies Situation

Washington, Jan. l5.-(Up)- Chairman Robert l.. Doughton, D.. N. O., of the house ways and means committee, warned taxpayers that they will have to file @ 1922 return by March IS, regardless of what ac- ton may be taken on pay-as-you- go and other tax proposals.
 Doughton issued a statement to ciarify the situation on tax ques- tions, asserting:
 'The committee having to do with tax legislation has been advised that reports are coming from over the country to the effect that Q change will be made in the tax law which would preclude the necessity of fil- ing the 1042 return due on March IS, 1943.
 "This assumption on the part of any taxpayer that he will not be required to file his 1942 return on March l5, 1943, is erroneous. In all cases, that return will be filed and at least the first quarter payment will have to be paid. '
 "Those filing early returns will be in no danger of being penalized. Whatever decision may be made as to future tax legislation will not af- feet the taxpayers obligation to file his 1942 return as usual and pay his tax"
 None of the pay-aS-you-go plans would relieve taxpayers of the nec- essity of paying income taxes this year. General purpose of the plan is to bring about a system by which a person would pay taxes on his irl- come in the same year in which that income is received, instead of pay ing in the ensuing year.

ACTION TO SPEED PIPELINES ASKED
Construction Believed Per- tnanent Solution to East's
 Fuel Problem

Washington, Jan. i5-(UP)--Leg- islation to speed the construction of pipelines in hopes of solving the east coast fuel shortage by next October is being prepared by Q house com mittee Investigating the fuel situa- ton, Rep. James M. Curley, D. Mass, said today.
 Curley, chairman of the commit tee, said the bill would urge Presi- dent Roosevelt to speed work on two pipelines, one of which is now scheduled to be completed Sept. l, The other, not vet anuroved, could be finished by the end of the year, Curley said.
 Tt was pointed out in behalf of the committee that every available man and machine necessary to ex- pediting the wcrl- sho"'d "a u''"-'' at once SO that the remedy for the fuel problem cf the Ga . s.a,~5 7ould be solved before Oc'nber Of the current year," Curley said.
 Tt was further pointed out that if necessary, 500000 more men should be employed at once in speed- ing up this work"
 Construction of the pipelines, he added, would solve the fuel problem in the east permanently.
 Curley said representatives of Petroleum Coordinator Harold l.. Ickes told him that the 15-inch line from Texas to New York will be finished about Sept. 1. Another line from Texas to the New York-Phila- delphia area has been proposed by Ickes, but the War Production board has not allocated materials for it.
 Defense Transportation Director Joseph B. Eastman announced that railroads carried daily average of S2O,00O barrels of petroleum to the east coast last week This was 72,- 900 barrels above the average of previous weeks.
 Eastman said this brings in sight" the current goal of 900O0O marrels a day. He added, however, that the pace of last week might not be maintained until the campaign to bring about 20 per cent increase in petroleum traffic gets into full swing.

RAF BOMBERS HIT
 GERMAN SUB BASE
Heavy Raid Made on LOT. tent and Nearby Obiec.
 lives Last Night
BY ROBERT MUSEL United Press Staff COrresDOndent)

London, Jan. l5-(UP)-Roya. Air Force bombers struck Lorient important German submarine base on the French Atlantic coast, last night in the first heavy raid oi l943, the air ministry said today Two planes were reported missing
 The raid was made at q time when the submarine menace held the front pages of the British press as Germany's greatest threat in the war.
 In the past, heavy raids on Lor- lent may have coincided with irtel- ligence reports that submarine pens were filled, or in an effort by the British to keep the U-boats away from an important Allied convoy, but the target last night was be- lieved to have been Lorient itself as well as nearby objectives.
 Air circles in London stressed the fact that the bomber command has made plain its intentions to neutral ize such submarine bases and said the consequent heavy damage and loss of life in the French town was regrettable but inevitable.
 These same sources pointed out the Lorient attack was proof that the Allies were ruthless in their de- termination to deal with the U- boat menace.
 The Germans recently broadcast that their submarine bases on the Flench Atlantic coast were bomb- proof, with the pens covered with reinforced concrete, but the pen- etrating powers and blast effects of the RAF's 5000 and 4.000-p -pound- ers--which might have been used in last nights raid--have been known to crumble two or more en- tire blocks of buildings at Cologne. Thus 1t was conceivable that the pens were so damaged in the raid that the U.b0ats would be unable 70 leave until the debris was cleared
 An American Air Force commit nique reported an offensive sweep yesterday over occupied France and Belgium by low-flying planes of the fighter command. Damage was rec ported to enemy planes and trans port personnel.
 Two Focke-Wuif i00's were shot down north of Ostend. the commit nique said, and other American planes attacked a small coastal steamer with cannon fire. Bursts were seen to take effect. All planes returned safely.

There was no confirmation from United Nations quarters, but the in- creasing nervousness of Axis propa- ganda broadcasts seemed to indicate that Q big Allied push, designed to drive the Germans out Of North Africa, was imminent.
 All along the North African front the Allies were busy softening up Axis bases and hacking ct com munication lines. American flying fortresses raided the east Tunisian reinforcement ports of Sousse and SfaX and started large fires In har- Dor installations. Lockheed Lightn- ings, which escorted the fortresses, shot down one of group Of Ger man Messerschmitts which at- tempted to break up the raid.
 B.26 bombers attacked the Ma hares area, 20 miles southwest ot Sfax and reported hits on a road and 0 railway. Allied fighter patrols, flying over the forward areas m Tunisia, shot down e Messerschlnitt I09. From all the operations four Allied aircraft were missing. :,
 Axis broadcasts reported that General Sir Bernard L. Montgom- terv was about to hurl 150,000 of his Elrhth Army troops against the Afrika Korps in Tripolitania'
