 Reed, who is chairman of the Republican postwar tax study com- mittee named by Republican Leader Joseph w. Martin. Jr, in anticipa- ton of a GOP-controlled House next year, agreed with Carlson.
 However, he said that plans must be made now to simplify the cor porate tax structure and reduce the taxes on business as soon as pos sible to provide a postwar incentive for all-out peacetime production.
 There has been a mortality of more than 500,0e8 business con- cerns in recent years" Reed said. We've got to provide the incentive for the birth of many new firms after the war fin order to keep the national income at a high level. The only way we can do that is reduce taxes and keep them down. "

 Allied reinfofcemerits continued to,reach the area by transport plane yesterday, and one unit drove two miles northwest of the city to att tack an isolated enemy detachment holding out in Q fortified outpost there.
 The communique said heavy fighting continued in the lower Mos gaung Valley 43 miles northwest of Myitkylna, where Allied forces were closing in from the north and south on Karnaing.
 The Japanese attempted repeat- edly to rush achievements to sev- eral pocketed units in the hills north of KaInaing, but were driven of by Stilwell's jungle troops.
 The Chungking coi1lmunique rec ported that U. s. i4th Air Force lighter -bombers, manned by Amer ican and Chinese pilots, killed more than 1000 Japanese in series of bombing and strafing attacks on enemy road columns in Honan Province.
 Other Raiders
 Other 14th Air Force raiders shot down two Zeros and sank large Yangt1e river steamer in an Offen- sive sweep over Central China.
 On the East Indian front, heavy fighting continued south of Imphal, where British Imperial forces were reported attacking enemy positions around Moirang and Bishenpur.
 The ofiicial weekly Burma review issued in Randy said the Japanese threat to the Brahmaputra Valley and the Assam Bengal railway has been removed by the British coun- ter-offensive around 1mphal and Kohima. The Review said the Jap- anese in the latter area were entire- ly on the defensive and trying only to prevent a British thrust south- ward to 1mphal.
 The Review estimated that about 7,600 Japanese have been killed in the Imphal-Kohima fighting, and other sources indicated the remain ing enemy forces have little pros- pect of escaping back across the Burma frontier.

 The Germans also were reported rushing their own preparations to meet the invasion. A neutral diplo- mat who has just arrived in Por- tugal told newsmen at Lisbon that the Germans were in the midst of large-scale troops movements in France.

ence to those who died in the first World
If understand the last World only the first

peace which will insure that the heroes of 1913 did
not sacrifice their lives in vain They made their great
contribution in the first phase of the Word war;
