Knox AssaiIs Belief
Conflict in Europe
viii Be Over Soon
By the. Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, Jan. 14.-Secretary
Of the Navy. Knox today termed
"wishful thinking" any belief that
the European conflict will end soon
through collapse Of the German
front.
Here to address Cleveland's Boy
Scout Council tonight, Mr.. Knox as
serted at press conference:
"A quick ending of the war is un-
likely. Those who wishfully think
for an early end Of the war are
necessarily doing disservice to the
war effort.
There is no ground for hope that
the German home front will collapse.
It's a different kind OF front from
the last war, with the control Hmm
Ter and his Gestapo have over the
people.
Foes Surround Germany.
"The German people realize they
are surrounded by enemies. They
have the French on one size, Czechs
and Poles on the other, and the
Russians coming in. The prospect
OF Germans surviving at home If the
military breaks down are not very
rosy"
The Secretary added:
This Is the time, not for wishful
thinking, but time to harden our
resolutions, to take what comes and
go through to the finish"
MIR. Knox said the war in the Pa
cif1c theater will take time and be
costly"
We've just begun to break down
the Japs' outer defenses," he con-
tlnued. tits a fight to the bitter
end.
Predominance Established.
I'VE have established predomi-
nance on the sea and in the air and
move about pretty freely in the
South Pacific without interruption
from the enemy. But it would be
an error to ascribe this to fear"
The Secretary added that 'it Just
doesn't suit his Ohe enemy's) pur-
pose" to challenge in force at this
time.
NhSo 1iio Opul1Ull OH National
service legislation proposed by Pres
1dent Roosevelt, Mr.. Knox said:
I'm very hopeful Congress will
enact a national service law. If we
have the right to order a man into
a foxhole to be killed by Japs,
surely we have the right to order a
man, as we needed him, into an air.
plane factory or shipyard."
Mr.. Knox was scheduled to visit
several Cleveland war plants and to
address a Cleveland advertising club
luncheon, where he said he would
reiterate views expressed at the
press conference. His address to-
night will be broadcast on the Blue
Network.
Recalling that Admiral Ernest J.
King, commander in chief of the
fleet, came from nearby Lorain, the
Secretary described the admiral as
"a great strategist."
The decision he made to attack
Guadalcanal," Mr.. Knox said, was
probably the most strategic decision
OF the war in the Pacific-and he

GALLANT ALEUTIAN
 SOLDIERS DIE IN STORM,
 DECORATED P0STHUM0UsLY

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTAIENT-The high courageI of four soldiers, three of whom went to their deaths in a violent Aleu- tian storm last Feruary during a search for a grounded Army power barge, was disclosed recently at Al- askan Department headquarters. All four men were awarded the Sold ier's Medal for herOism.
 Only survivor of the four-man search party is Cpl Clarence B. Clement of Pawtucket, R. l. Post humous awards were made to Sgt. i WiIfred R. Scarem of Cuyahoga l Falls, O., Sgt. William E. Black of Grove city, Pa, and Cpl. George Il. Bailey of Cincinnati. Ohio.
 Upon learning that the barge had gone aground somewhere on an isolated Aleutian island, Clement and Scarem began searching the eastern shores and Black and Bailey started a search on the western side Of the island.
 The men battled against high winds, rain and fog as the search pushed on through the night and the second day. By the evening Of l the second day.

 Sergeant Scarem apparently de- cided later to continue on alohe, and other searchers sent out by the exhausted Clement were unable to find him. After only a few hours rest, Clement again resumed the search and subsequently, found Ser 1 geant Scarem, who had died during the night from exhaustion and ex- ! osure.
 Meanwhile, Sergeant Black and Corporal Bailey had returned from their search, tired and wet, only to learn of the plight of Scarem. They immediately started out again through the darkness, facing winds of gale intensity, in an effort to rescue their fellow soldier.

 The withholding tax has been graduated so that 1t will come close to covering the entire tax for any- body whose income Is not more than s5O0O a year, instead of the present S3000. And such persons, if hey do not have other income amounting to more than $l00, do not have to file tax estimates.
 Persons whose income is under 450O0, gross, of which not more than SlOO comes from sources not sub- ject to the withholding tax, can an- Swer a few questions and let the Collectors office compute their tax.
 Tn order to do this they must ac- cept Q standardized allowance, in lieu of all legal credits, of 10 per cent of their adjusted gross inc come" which, by the way, is a new term introduced in the interest of simplification.
 Inevitably, persons whose cred- It's are less than the arbitrary 10 per cent will accept that 10 per cent and pay less tax than is due to the government; persons with greater credits will compute their tax on 6 blank and take full advantage o the permissible deductions. Tht government will lose an amount O income that probably nobody cal estimate accurately in advance.
