Heavy as American air losses
we're in the blasting raid by 700
bombers on Nazi fighter assembly
plants which led to what Berlin
terms the greatest air battle OF
the war, there. are several con-
illusions of major significance to
be drawn from the results.
American losses of SO bombers
and five fighters, reveal that the
chortling Nazi official broadcasts
exaggerated by more than 100 per
cent. Berlin said 1856 American
planes, 1874 of them four-engine
bombers, had been knocked down.
That exaggeration, officially
trumpeted for German home front
consideration, can be traced to
rising German public apprehen-
sion over the night-and-day An

close. Berlin is deliberately seek

vancing a postwar "bill OF eco

SENATE APPROVES

Claim That 1t Is Not
Realistic

WASHINGTON, Jan. H. R -
The Senate today approved most
of the important features of the
81, 275. 100000 tax increase bill,
completely disregarding President
Roosevelt's charge that it is not
a realistic revenue measure.
The members raced through
hundreds of amendments recon-
mepded by the finance committee.
delaying action on only a few knot
ty questions, mostly of technical
nature.
Technically, the bill remained
open for the most basic changes,
but none was in sight and Finance
Chairman George O.-Gao, said
he knew of none in prospect.
Majority Leader Barley and
Senator Vandenberg R.-Micho,
ranking Republican on the commit
tee amendments and few of a
minor nature offered from the
floor probably will be disposed OF
at the Senate's next session Fri
day. The controversial amend
ments applying to the war con-
tracts renegotiation law are to
be taken up Monday.
In an opening statement, George
indirectly took issue with Presl-
dent Roosevelt's contention that
the bill "does not begin to meet
the test of a wartime tax bill
which should tax all unreason,
able profits, both individual ano
corporate. and reduce the ultl'
mate cost of the war to our sons
and daughters.
Said George bluntly:
'It is indeed realistic tax law
and will aid materially in reduc'
ing the cost of the war upon fiji
ture generations.

in his opinion the point of diminish

cerned, and he added that the
