CHURCHILL
CONFIDENT
IN SPEECH
Tells Com mons Allied
Bombing Will Increase
Preceding Invasion

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Prime Min
lister Churchill told the world the
Allied bombing, far beyond any
thing yet employed or indeed i'm
agined would strike Germany in
every corner in prelude to final
smashing by American and British
invasion armies of Approximately
equal" power.
Churchill said the three great
allies still stand absolutely united,
and none of the ground made good
at Moscow or Teheran" is lost de-
spite disquieting articles in the
Soviet press.
Allies United
The Prime Minister asserted in
a confident but cautious war re-
view before the Commons that The
Allies stand united in war plans
that will make certain that victory
may not be SO far away" He said
he could neither guarantee that
the war would be finished in Eur
ope this year or that it would ex-
tend to 1915, and declared that
Hitler still has full control OF
Germany and 300 divisions of his
army Of half a million Nazis fight
ing in Italy.
Evidently Hitler has decided TO
defend Rome with the same obstin-
ancy as Stalingrad," said Churchill,
but added that Allied leaders are
confident of success through rein
forcements pouring in from Africa.
Praises U. S. Air Force
Other main highlights of Church
ills first war review since the
Teheran and Cairo conferences was
that the air offensive of the United
States Bomber Force in Britain
/ nov begins to surpass our own and
will be substantially greater still
in this air campaign against Ger
many
Our present effort is to reach
scale far beyond dimensions of
anything yet employed or indeed
imagined. Long range bombers are
hitting Germany and Italy. The
Germans are preparing on the
French shore new means of attack

aircraft or possibly rockets or both

The w ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
tMajor Robert 9. Allen ON active dutyJ

WASHINGTON - Unfortunately,
the bombing of the ancient Bene-
dictine monastery at Casino Is
considered only a foretaste OF the
destruction which is almost certain
to come to Rome.
The Germans have found what
the Russians discovered at Lenin-
grad and Stalingrad, and what the
spaniards in their civil war dem
onstrated at Madrid-that modern
city is a natural fortress which can
be defended for months. Rome may
share the same fate.
The U. S. Army didn't say any
thing about it for several weeks, but
they had trouble with the Casino
monastery long before they bombed
it. The Nazis had discovered 1t 10
be a natural fortress.
That section of Italy is chopped
I'D in steep chunks of mountains,
staring down almost sheer walls TO
the valleys. The monastery sits
astride the mountain passes, SO that
the Nazis' big guns inside it could
break UP an Allied advance from at
least two directions. 1t was impos-
sible to bypass.
U. S. war chiefs have been deeply
worried over the reaction OF the
Catholic world not only to the
bombing of the Benedictine monas-
tery but also to the prospect Of a
battlefield being made of the streets
of Rome. Their worry is not so
much regarding the people OF Italy,
but the outside world.
In this connection. Professor Gae-
tano Salvemini, the famous Italian
scholar and anti-Fascist who has
lived in this country since 1882 and
is now a citizen, made some remarks
in washington the other day which
are being studied He said that the
italians themselves were not strong
Vatican catholics. He described
them as devoted to their local sane
tuaries and madonnas, said that
they invited the local priest into
their homes to bless the newborn
calf, but that they did not like the
Pope and felt no great interest IN
the Vatican.
The professor, who himself is
noted for his anti-clerical views,
said that the real interest in the
Vatican came from the Irish, Poles
and the French Canadians. He also
dropped this remark: THE Pope
is powerful, not in Rome, but in
the White House.
Regardless of whether Professor
Salvemini is right, U. S. war chiefs
are greatly worried about world re-
action to bombing Rome, but they
are afraid that no more can be done
about 1t than about the Benedictine

VETOED BY
PRESIDENT
Takes Swat at legislation
Incidentally WdIIops
Congress and How

WASHINGTON, Feb a. Presi-
dent Roosevelt tossed the $2.315,-
100000 tax bill back to Congress
today with veto message which
described it as a wholly ineffec-
tive relief measure mot for the
needy but for the greedy"
In message in the House there
is already rumbling talk of over
riding the veto.
Roosevelt said that its legislation
would 'replete precisions not only
to afford indefensible special priv
ileges to favored groups but it sets
up dangerous precedents for the
future"
He said that this tendency in
itself is a sufficiently dangerous
counter loss for a very inadequate
sum-
Additional revenue calculated the
bill would enrich the Treasury less
than billion net year.
The President, recognizing wide
spread complaints over the COM
plexity of the income tax forms
took occasion to lay the blame di-
rect on Congress. He said it is
squarely the fault Of the legislators
using language in drafting the legis-
lation that mot even the dictionary
can make it clear
! The President said he hoped Con-
gress will act quickly as possible to
simplify the tax laws, which in tprn
will make 1t possible for shnpli-
| fication of forms and computations
as the taxpayers are engaged in
an effort to win the Nations great

of IA cents an hour for workers of
the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining

The Clio miners union here, the
International Union Of Mine, Mill

The local panel in Juneau had
recommended an increase of 10 cents
an hour, and the Regional Board
had later upped this figure to IA
cents.
This order was appealed to the
National Board by the company and
