10 The Greedy
President HurIs
Measure Beck to
the Congress
By Til. Associated Pres,

WASHINGTON, Feb. ~ -
President Roosevelt tossed the
$2,315,000, 900 tax bill back to
Congress today with a veto mes
sage in which he described it as
wholly ineffective" and a re-
lief measure mot for the needy
but for the greedy"
In a message to the House, al
ready rumbling with talk of
overriding the veto, Mr.. Roose-
welt said the legislation was ere
plete with provisions which not
only afford indefensible special
privileges to favored groups but
sets dangerous precedents for
the future"
He said this tendency in it.
self was sufficiently dangerous
to counter the loss of "a very
inadequate sum" in additional
revenue. He calculated that the
bill would enrich the treasury
by less than $1,000,000,000 net
a year.
UP TO CONGRESS
The President, recognizing
widespread complaints over the
completely of income tax forms,
took occasion to lay the blame
on Congress.
He said it was squarely the
fault of the legislators in using
language in drafting tax legisla-
ton which not even a diction-
airy or a thesaurus can make
clear"
The chief executive said he
hoped Congress would act as
quickly as possible to simplify
tax laws which in turn would
make possible simplification of
forms and computation. Tax
payers engaged in an effort to
win the nations greatest war,
he declared, "are not in a mood
to study higher mathematics"

Jap Ships
Destroyed in
Last ; Weeks
Knox Reveals Figures;
Warns Against Trend
to Expect Short War


Destruction of 81 Japanese
vessels in the last three weeks
was reported by Secretary OF the
Navy Knox today, while Ameri-
can commaFders told Of attacks
by sea ahdP air against enemy
bases from Paramushiro to Ra-
baul.
Knox coupled his disclosure OF
heavy Japanese shipping losses
with the warning that there is
nothing to justify and estimates
of an early end of the war in the
Pacific" At his press confer
ence, he spoke Of undue opti-
mism a. the result of the au-
dacious assault on Truk, Nip
ponese naval stronghold in the
central Carolines.
The % Japanese ships de-
stroysd by American sh Up s,
planes and submarines appar-
entity included the 10 listed as
sunk In the Feb. 1917 carrier
strike ut Truk, ~ we'll a. other
successes previously reported In
comfnuniques.
The announcement, however,
served to underline the mount
ing pressure against japanese
positions along a 300-mile long
front in the Pacific.
The other japanese ship losses
were seven fleet tankers, three
transports, SO cargo ships and Is
miscellaneous vessels. In addi-
ton, Knox said, one light cruis-
or probably was sunk and eight
non-combatant vessels proba-
bly, were sent down.
In cautioning against undue
optimism, he said that Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz, commander
in-chief of the Racific fleet, has
indicated that he favors attacks
on the Japaese coast. Knox re-
marked in that connection that
the japanese army has suf-
fered very little thus far and is
"big, well-equipped and fanati-
cally brave"
