ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC. Sept. 27.-A frontal attack on Finschhafen by Australian jungle troops slowed down before stiffening enemy re- sistence, but the Japanese, desper- ately defending the East New Guinea coastal base are sirnultan- eously confronted with threat of encirclement from the rear.
 The Australians encountered en- emy defenses in strength after cross ing the Bumi River, less than mile from the heart of the Japanese base.
 The Australians are approaching cautiously against system of trenches and have slowed down voluntarily to permit them to hit Japanese positions in force with as- surance of breaking through.
 The second Allied force is moving east and north from Lac and has reached Hanisch Harbor, half way to Finschhafen from Lac. A third unit, composed of units which land- ed above the base on Septemebr p, is as Dampeir. straight 10 miles from Finschhafen, and air forces are attacking enemy bases by bombing and machine gunning.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. . The House Ways and Means Committee has voted against the repeal of the law of recovery on excess profits" in war contracts. At the same time, the Committee threw into high gear it's considera- tion of taxes with the view of com- pleting a new general revenue law by January l.
 While throwing out suggestions that the renegotiation law be re- pealed, the Committee referred the matter to sub-committee for con- sideration of important amendments suggested by industry.
 In the drive to speed considera- tion of the new revenue act, in response to the Administration s request for an additional 12 billion dollars over present annual collec- tions of 38 billion, the Committee has decided to hear no witnesses on lotteries. community property, mandatory. joint returns and pro- posals for levies on municipal ant; state bonds However, Chairman Robert L.

BUILD ROAD
 TO HIT JAp5
 FROM INDIA
American Engineers, h. didns and Chinese,
 Hack Out Trail

AN AMERICAN BASE IN INDIA, Sept. 27. Despite hills and high water, American Army Engineers, assisted by Indians and Chinese, have hacked roadway through the jungle from India into Burma, along which, if our strategists are willing, an attack may be launched upon Japan.
 Headquarters calls the highway the Lebo Road, but the engineers call it the Tokyo Road" because, says Maj. John Mover of Tuskegee, Alabama. "the stuff transported over it will eventually wind up in Japan" |"
 Japan lies some 5000 miles away. The road already has penetrated enemy territory, however, and Chi nese soldiers, led by trained Am erican officers. are fighting the Japanese back further and further as construction progresses.
 The roads most immediate pur- pose is to supply attacking forces in the early stages of the campaign to clear the Japs out of Burma.
 Its second purpose is to connect with the Burma Road, if and when the Americans, British and Chinese manage to drive the Japanese out of northern Burma so that supplies may reach China by land as well as by air.
 Pursuing generally an eastward direction, the road runs along the southern slope of the Himalayan range and through some of India's thickest iungleS.

First of four articles on the peace time future of the veterans of
 World War ID
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. -- Ob- servers returning from the war fronts say that the question most asked by American fighting men is What's cooking for us when we come marching home?"
 It isn't that they're selfish or want anything handed them on a silver platter, these observers say, it's just that they want to be sure they'll get a slice of those Four Freedoms they are sweating and bleeding for. And according to the men who have known them best, they consider most important the freedom to work and earn decent living for the missus and the kids.
 This much assurance can be given them right now: If all or part of the war ended tomorrow, they would find the program of demobilization, rehabilitation and unemployment already functioning.
 A survey discloses that these agencies and organizations are op- erating:

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ,n.,or Robert 8. Allen on active duty.)


 WASiINGTCw @ There's an ln- teresting angle about Mrs. Roose- velt's trip to Australia which only the Australians, the White House and Wendell Willkie know about. It is the fact that Willkie was in- yited first.
 II guess I am partly responsible for the First Lady's goodwill voy- afe." he recently joked to high ranking Republican friend
 What happened was that Aus tralian Minister for External Af- fairs Herbert W. Evatt had several talks with Willkie urging him to nav a visit to Australia. Then the President, hearing about thls' step ned into the picture to have Mrs. Roosevelt go. Apparently he want ed to head off Willkie.
 External Minister Evatts conver- sations with Willkie began some time ago during one of his trips through the United States to Lon- don. He told Willkie that 1t was important that the Australian and American peoples get to understand each other and that, working to- pether as a team, they could dom- mate the Pacific after the war.
 Willkie said he would be delighted to make the trip if it were cleared with the White House and State Department. Evatt said he would arrange for all this, including the transportation.
 This was the last Willkie heard about the matter until he got a nhone call at his old home in Rush. vile. Ind, the other day from an Australian newspaperman. He told willkie that when the Australian government had taken the matter up with the White House, Presi- dent Roosevelt suggested that Mrs Roosevelt go instead. Naturally, the Australian Government had to DOW to the Presidents wishes.
 NOTE-High-up RepupiicaAS wio know about the White House play are more certain than ever that the President is going to run TOT a fourth term. They figure that ne did not want Willkie grabbing the international spotlight by trip to Australia. However, White House intimates still are not convinced that the President will run again.

GRAVY SPECIALISTS

Capitol Hill gravy specialists do a lot of tricks with the taxpayers dollar. Sometimes they quarter rel atives on the payroll, sometimes they pay others for not working, and negotiate salary "kickbacks."
 But here is the latest wrinkle, this time from the office of Representa- tive Lawrence Smith, Republican, of Wisconsin.
 Congressman Smith has an em- ployee on his payroll who IS also a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly. He is Ora R. Rice, listed as clerk on Smiths office staff at $500 a year. Thus Rice knocks down Federal salary of $l 800 and then turns around and gets state salary of $1.200 a year. He spends all of his time in Wisconsin on state
