terence at the Statler Hotel

his party as he had heard some ia
Vorable comment" on the possibili-
ties from his party members.
The America First director also

tlon trial, adding that bis party

picioned."
He plans to SIT in on the trial
sessions today before leaving for
Baltimore to speak at an American

Spiritual Life Mission campaign
program, he spoke before more than
30 District ministers at breakfast
meeting at the Calvary Methodist
Church, 1859 Columbia road NV.
Before approximately 800 persons
yesterday at Memorial Continental
Hall, DR.. Jones declared a large
percentage of our diseases are men
tally and spiritually induced. Ad-

Big Bomber Strikes
400 Miles From japan

By the Associated Press.
PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Pearl Harbor May 22-The
deepest penetration yet made in air
strikes along the northern road to
Tokyo, an attack by lone Ameri-
can Liberator which flew within 400
miles of Japan proper, was an
nounced by Admiral Chester W.
Nimitz yesterday
The 18th Army Air Force bomber
struck at Shimushiri and Ketoi
islands in the Kuriles Thursday
night Admiral Nimitz said.
The surprised japanese made no
attempt to shoot it down. No other
details of the raid we're given.
The Liberator sortie was the high
light of series of raids late last
week on Japan's North and Central
Pacific bases.
Ventura search planes of Fleet
Air Wing bombed Paramushiro
in the Northern Kuriles Thursday
night after other bombers attacked
two enemy ships near the big enemy
base and probably sank one. Ven-

planes, nearly 1000 tanks and so 900
other vehicles were sent to United
Nations forces.
Through lease-lend we have
made certain that every man in the
forces of the other United Nations
who goes into battle beside an
American fighting man has what
he needs to hit the common en-
emy," the Presidents message said.
Through reverse lease-lend, the
American forces have been similarly
aided by our Allies with everything
they had that we needed"
Pointing up the impending attack
on Hitler's European fortress, Mr..
Roosevelt told Congress that
United Nations forces are now
about to strike new and mightier
blows at Nazi-occupied Europe from
offensive bases in the West, the
South and the East"
On the Eastern European front,
he continued, the Soviet Army is
preparing for new blows that will
be timed with our advances"
Pacific Warfare Pushed.
And for the Pacific phase:
'In the Far East and the Pacific
our offensives in New Guinea. in
Burma and against the japanese
fortress islands in the Central Pa
cific are proof that the battle for
Japan is not waiting upon the sue
cessful conclusion of the battle
against Nazi Germany. China is
being helped to the utmost of our
ability"
Commenting that Congress once
more had recognized the Importance
of the lease-lend program by Its
overwhelming vote to extend" the
law the President said:
only by uniting our full strength
with the full strength Of the other
free peoples of the world have we
moved from the defensive to the
offensive, from defeats to victories.
BY maintaining our unity now, we
shall certainly achieve final victory.
BY continuing our unity after the
war we can assure a peace in which
mankind can live and work and
worship in peace, freedom and Sc
curity."
In the three years since the pro-
gram got under way, goods valued

fed that the gun which killed DR..
Lind must have been held in contact
with the victims topcoat at the
time the first shot was fired into the
chest. DR.. Rosenberg said the chest
wound would not necessarily have
caused instant death, but that either
the chest or head wound would have
proved mortal.
The bullet which passed through
DR.. Lind's brain, DR.. Rosenberg tes-
titled, was fired from a gun only
about inches away from the victim
Objects to Question.
At one point in the trial, Defense
Attorney H. Mason Welch objected
to the question by Assistant United
States Attorney Daniel B. Maher,
who asked, DR.. Rosenberg to de-
scribe the path of the bullet that
passed through the victims head
THE only purpose of this line of
questioning" Mr.. WEIGH said "is to
inf1ame the jury by repetition of
gruesome details"
Another witness, Charles Gins
berg, former clerk in a second hand
store in the 600 block of D street
NV, was excused from testifying
when he said he did not recall any
thing in connection with an entry
he made in the stores books on
September 30, 1887. The entry was
believed to relate to the purchase
of gun by DR.. Lind.
Auto Mechanic Testifies.
The first witness today was James
G. Abbott, 1016 Pennsylvania avenue
Sc, an automobile mechanic, who
described the operation of the Lind
automobile.
Another witness was William
Henry Davis, colored, a crane driver
for the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, who told of removing DR..
Lind's car to the police garage from
Eleventh and G streets NV.
Alternate Juror Philip Ransom
was seated by Justice Ben Moore
today in the place formerly occupied
by Clarence Grosner, who was strick-
en- with a heart attack Saturday.
The jury has been locked up since
Friday afternoon.
MIR. WEIGH said he would make an
opening statement to the jury of II
men and | woman before calling his
first witness. At this time, he prob
ably will outline the type of defense
on which the 67-year- r-old Miller will
stake his life.
Mrs. Miller May Be Called.
Miller himself probably will take
the stand before the close of the
trial, and Mr.. WEIGH said Mrs.
Marguerite Miller, who was in the
Lind car at the time of the shooting,
is expected to be called by her hus-
bands attorneys.
Mr.. WEIGH said he doubted that
the defense could complete it's case
before the end of the week. He said
he expected to call between Is and
18 witnesses, exclusive of character
witnesses. The latter are expected
to include a number of prominent
officials.

Reverse Aid Stressed.
The report stressed the aid that
this country gets from reverse lease
lend. The aid from the British
Commonwealth had amounted to
$4,000, 100000 at the first OF this
year, it explained, and the rate is
approaching $4,000 ,000,0 a year.
But just as our Allies benefit from
all of our war expenditures, so do
we from theirs, whether they are
for reverse lease-lend and mutual
aid or not" the report continued.
"An the experience and informa-
ton that we have available indi-
cate that in proportion to their
available resources our principal
Allies are putting into this war fully
as much as we are, including our
lend-lease aid" it added.
The lease-lend exports have been
almost equally divided between
munitions on the one hand and

and agricultural products on the
other.
The distribution has been: United
Kingdom, $7,306, ,395, 900; Russia,

and Mediterranean area, $2,485, 5,217,-

New Zealand, $1,925, ,735 900; Latin
America, $135 1858 900, and all other
countries, $603,013,000. This last
figure consists principally of sup
plies and equipment sent to Canada.

Lease-lend to Britain, the report
said, has gone far to convert that
country from beleaguered island to

Raw materials and food also have
figured Importantly in lease-lend
ALLEGATIONS, the report explained,
but s"only by very strict rationing,"
has it been possible for the British
to get sufficient food for the armed
forces and war workers.
The Soviet Union, according to
the report, has supplied it's armies
principally from its own factories,
but the United States has sent the
Russians $500 planes, which is the
greatest number dis tribut e d
through lease-lend to any military
theater. More than 1000 of the
planes were flown to Russia from
American factories.
Another large item in the Rus
sian shipments was $500 tanks and
tank destroyers. Around quarter
of a million other military vehicles
likewise have been turned over to
the Red army.

The cost Of living rose o.6 Der cent
from March to April, the Labor De-
partment reported yesterday. Part
|of the rise was attributed to higher
excise taxes.
Living costs were 23.5 per cent
above January, 1941, and 2s.3 per
cent higher than in August, 1889.
Secretary Perkins said.
The new excise taxes become ef-
fective, April and half of the rise
could be attributed to that. the Sec
retary said. Higher prices for food
and furniture were listed as the
other principal causes.
Retail food prices went up o. Der
cent, the Secretary said, but prices
are still 43 per cent lower than
year ago and So per cent below the
peak last May, she added.
Clothing costs were reported up

higher than in April, 1943. House
furnishings advance 81 per cent
during the month as upholstered

rose l.3 per cent, chiefly because of
the higher tax on motion picture

Simplified Tax Bill
Expected 10 Reach
White House Today
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The revenue picture, which used
to make taxpayers unhappy all the
time, was touched up today with
these bright spots for people who
pay the bills:
l. Congress prepared to send to
President Roosevelt with not an
other days delay, the simplification
bill to help deaden the pain of in
come taxes.
2. Chairman George predicted the
Senate Finance Committee and the
Senate would approve halving the
80 per cent cabaret tax which night
club owners say is gouging them out
of business.
3 Chairman Doughton of the Ways
and Means Committee is expected
to ask the House to concur in Sen
ate technical amendments, COM
pleting legislative action on the tax
simplif1cation bill.
Congressional leaders said Mr..
Roosevelt is bound to sign the bill.
Would Aid 30,OOO,O0O.
Passed unanimously by the House
and in the Senate by a voice vote
probably the first time in history a
tax bill enjoyed such popularity-it
would relieve some 100000 of the
50000,000 taxpayers of the neces-
sitv pf ouor roy,y,1,tino opotl,or -,
come tax return and simplify re-
mittance procedures for the 10000
600 others.
Beginning next January l, the
present withholding system against
wages and salaries would be re-
vised-upward for most taxpayers
to take the full tax liability for per-
sons earning up to $1,000. Thus, the
withholding levy would become the
actual tax for those millions of wage
and salary persons, and they would
owe no more at the end of the tax
year.
There would be no change in
amounts held from pay envelopes
and salary checks this year, but the

Answering the public outcry
against the annual March Is be-

points, the measure reshuffles the

system for the present intricate
three-tax involution.
The measure scraps the two-year-
old wartime Victory" tax, consol-
idating it into a new system of nor
NAL and surtaxes. Experts estimated
the simplified system would collect
S60,000,000 less in revenue than the
current $1,000 100000 taken by the
