DE GauIIe Returns

Liberation Group
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALGIERS, Feb. 3.-Gen. Charles
de Gaulle returned yesterday from
a tour of French mid-African COL
onies to begin work on an expected
shufning Of personnel of the Com
mittee of National Liberation, Of
which he Is president.
Several informants forecast that
Gen. Georges Catroux would be
transferred from his present post
Of governor general of Algeria to
the diplomatic corps, perhaps as an
envoy to London or Washington, or
be named resident general Of Moroc-
CO, where it is ,belieevd his standing
in the Moslem world would enhance
French-Mo Moroccan relations.
It also was reported that Justice
Commissioner Francois de Mention
and Education Commissioner Rene
Capitant might be removed.
Awaiting Gen. de Gaulle was a
note from the State Department in
Washington reiterating in writing
what the American Government
long has maintained pubncly-that
Washington will not negotiate or
deal with the Vichy government or
with collaborationists when the
liberation Of France begins.
Unofdcially, French circles ex-
pressed both qualification and dis
satisfaction. Some pointed out that
the note does not preclude Amer
lean negotiations with anti-Axis
French elements outside the COM
mittee and does not constitute the
complete recognition desired by the
committee.

lens. 1t is time for us to face UP.
The fact Is that If we solve this
problem realistically we must actu-
ally materially lower the American
standard OF living during the war"
He declared that every dollar be-
yond the precautions needed to pre-
serve effective manpower and the
industrial structure must be ruth
lessly taxed"
1--WE are not doing it," he said.
"And neither Congress nor the ad-
ministration expresses any inten-
ton of doing it."
Mr.. Willkie said the administra-
ton has counted too little on the
peoples sense of obligation"
But while I sincerely believe that
the people will accept these burdens
if the issues are made clear, I know
that they will at the same time de-
mand an economy in government Of
severity equal to their sacrifices" !"
he added.
He suggested that the postwar tax
program include a single, ungradu-
ated corporation tax, repeal Of the
wartime excess profits tax, the de-
clared value excess profits tax and
the capital stock tax and the en-
couraging Of venture capital. The
individual income tax should also
be lowered, he said.

for or against their Commander in
Chief, and insisted that servicemen
should decide individually whether
they want to cast a vote.
Assuming that no one has the
right to tell soldier how to vote,
Senator Clark said he saw nothing
wrong with setting aside a day in
each camp when men would be re-
leased from military duties to vote.
Il don't believe there is sergeant
who can control a section, a lieu
tenant who can control a platoon
or general who could control an
army in voting" Senator Clark de-
clared.
Senator Lucas joined in to say he
believed Senator Byrd underesti-
mated the independence of the men
in uniform. Senator Lucas pre-
dicted that if any one tried to tell
a soldier how to vote it probably
would cause the enlisted man to
vote the other way. Senator Byrd
insisted, however, that soldiers would
be inclined to regard the fixing of
a voting day in each camp as a
military order.
Senator Byrd also filed late yes
terday a revised list Of kilograms
from 46 of the 48 Governors, giving
their views on the application of
State laws to soldier voting.
The Virginian said that in the
opinion of is Governors present
laws are adequate If the Federal
Government will undertake delivery
Of the ballots. He said Is others
either have recommended legisla-
ton by their Legislatures or will
call special sessions in time to do so.
Two Governors have not replied, and
the other six did not fall into either
OF the main categories.

Members of Congress
Challenge WiIIkie Plan
BY the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
Wendell Wilkes call for an addi-
tional multi-billion-dollar wartime
tax program drew swift retorts today
from some Republicans on Capitol
Hill, one of whom described Mr..
WILKES revenue proposal as "even
more unrealistic and unsound than
the Presidents"
Representative Knutson of Mime
sofa, Republican leader of the tax
framing House Ways and Means
Committee, promptly challenged the
program, describing 1t as unreal
istic and unsound," and adding:
"All agree we must raise every
possible dollar by taxation in order
to minimize borrowing against the
future, but there is limit to our
ability to pay taxes even in wartime.
Both branches of Congress rejected
the Presidents $10,5O0 100000 tax
program because it would have wiped

the solvency of all business, yet Mr..
Willkie would raise double the
amount proposed by the administra-
ton. 80.
He fails to show how any such
amount could be raised, in addition
to the $4,000, 100000 we now pay.
We all know any increase would
have to come from the lower income
groups, as was the case with the
Treasury program"
Representative Carlson, Repub-
lican, Of Kansas, a Ways and Means
member, said:
MY observation is that rather
than increasing our tax burden we
should make every effort to elm
mate waste and extravaganza in
Federal expenditures"
Democratic Senator johnson of
Colorado made this comment:
II don't take Willkie seriously on
any of his suggestions"

|Guffey AssaiIs Butler
For Playing Politics
In Hemisphere Report
By the Associated Press.

oS tAic AoeoCiateC FIeS8s
Senator Guffey, Democrat, Of
Pennsylvania declared in the SEN
ate yesterday that Senator Butler,
Republican, Of Nebraska attempted
to play politics with our foreign
policy" In criticizing American ex-
penditures In Latin America, and
that he should make a public apol-
ogy.
Senator Butler is simply playing
Republican politics." Senator Guffey
said in reply to the Nebraskan's
recently repeated claim that waste"
and "boondoggling" figured In al
most $4,000, 100000 Of direct United
States expenditures, loans and COM
mitments in South America in the
last three years.
He should apologize to the Amer
lean people and to the peoples of
the other western republics" Sena-
tor Guffey continued, "for this at
tempt to play politics with our for
eign policy and to disturb our re-
lations with friendly governments" !"
CITES War Purchases.
The Pennsylvania said Senator
Buffers own figures showed more
than half Of the $4,000, 900 900 went
for the purchase Of war-needed COM
modities and resources and for mill
tary installations. He added:
Does the Senator mean to attack
tho fnr0i0v, froln ~ -
States as New Deal boondoggling
and waste when he includes the
trade returns in his padded good
neighbor expense account, or did he
just set $4,000, ,000,000 as his goal
and hunt for any and all figures to
support his charges, even If they
included the cost of sugar from
Cuba, tin from Bolivia, manganese
from Brazil, oil from Venezuela and
bauxite from the Guianas?"
Senator Butler interrupted Sena-
tor Guffey to protest against an
assertion that the Nebraskan's tour
Of South America, which preceded
his criticism Of American outlays
there, was inspired and paid for
by some one else"
That is absolutely untrue" But
Ter declared.
I've made it plain there is no
place for political partisanship in
our relations with South America, !"
Senator Butler added. "The Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania mentions
only few Of the items that listed
in my report. There are still many
others for which there Is no de-
fense."
Wherry Praises Butler.
Senator Wnerry, Republican, of
Nebraska arose to commend Senator
Butler for his advocacy of what he
called constructive policies.
Senator Reynolds, Democrat, OF
North Carolina, also supporting
Senator Butler, challenged Senator
Guf1eys contention that the Butler
report had jeopardized friendly re-
lations between the United States
and her Latin American Allies.
How could any one of our neigh
bors south of the Rio Grande object
to what he said?" Senator Reynolds
asked. HE cast no reflections upon

Tito Credits Supplies
From Allies as Troops
Smash Nazi Columns
By the Associated Press.

81 tAC AooOClAtSQ fIeSS.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-Yugoslav
troops have smashed six Ger
man columns attempting to
break through Partisan defenses
into liberated territory in Slo-
venia, Marshal Josip Broz (Tito)
announced today.
Tito said these recent successes
against the Germans had been aided
materially by a substantial increase
in supplies sent him by the Allies
during the last month and by Allied
sea and air assaults against Ger
man positions in Yugoslavia.
German attacks so far have been
scattered, Tito's communique de-
clared, but 1t added that grim fight
ing continued on the rugged and
snoW-covered Slovenian battlefront.
Allies Raid Maribor.
Allied air forces dealt another
blow in support of Tito's Partisans
with a night raid on the city Of
Maribor in northern Slovenia near
the Austrian border, Allied head
quarters in Algiers announced to-
day. Allied naval forces sank two
enemy schooners near Silba Island,
off the northern Dalmatian coast in
the Adriatic sea.
Tito's bulletin said that fierce
struggles were in progress along the
Croat and Dalmatian coastal areas,
where the Nazis were trying to pre-
vent the landing Of Allied supplies
for Tito's forces.
The broadcast of Tito's COM
munique by the Free Yugoslav radio
was preceded by a Yugoslav spokes-
man who said that the flow of Allied
supplies which initially were on a
very limited scale, was substantially
increased recently, especially in the
first month of the present year"
Promises Best Use of Supplies.
These increased deliveries have
fulfilled the hopes expressed at the
second session of the council of the
Yugoslav government of liberation, j"
the spokesman added. "Our Allies
may rest assured that these war ma
terials will be put to the best pos
sible use, as they are in the hands of
seasoned fighters. 1t Is hoped that
the greatest possible quantity of
supplies will be received in the fu-
ture."
Richard K. Law, British minister
OF state. said recently that Tito was
receiving the bulk Of Allied help
because he was doing most Of the
fighting against the Germans in
Yugoslavia.

neighborhood Of $4,000 to 10000.
Loss Of Lutsk would mean the Ger
mans have lost the use of a major
railway from Warsaw to Odessa, al
though a more southern route still
is available.
There was a possibility that the
withdrawal from Lutsk meant the
Germans already are preparing to
take up positions along the Polish
Bug River, $40 miles from the Ger
man frontier, for decisive stand.
The Germans also were being
pushed back inside Estonia, where
the Red Army driving along the
Gulf Of Finland west of captured
reached positions along
the Narva River, northwest of the
seaport of Narva itself. This
indicated that the Russians now are
battling on EStonian soil.
40 Towns Captured.
While the Moscow advices did not
specifically say that the old Estonian
frontier had been crossed, the in
ference was implicit, for the Narva
River-which flows through Narva
into the Gulf of Finland-is well in
side the former border.
Forty towns northwest and SOUTH
west OF Kingisepp were captured by
Gen. Leonid A. Govorov's Leningrad
army yesterday, Russian commu-
nique said. They included Ust-Luga
at the mouth of the Luga River on
the Gulf of Finland and Monastirek,
II miles below Kingisepp and miles
from the frontier.
The exact position Of Govorov's
spearheads in the border area, how
ever, was obscure. The broadcast
Moscow communique announced the
capture Of Venkule Cor Vanakyula)
and town Of this name is five miles
across the frontier in Estonia near
the mouth Of the Narva River. Es-
tonian maps, however, show Rus
sian town named Venakula just east
Of the frontier. On Russian maps
this town Is called Ilkina.
Capture Of Kmgisepp gave CO.
vorov control Of the entire southern
shore Of the Gulf Of Finland, but
there were indications that the Ger
mans might elect to make a stand
in front Of Narva with reserves
brought up from Reval (Tallinn) :,
western terminus of the railway
from Leningrad.
German reports of a Soviet break
through in the Dnieper bend far to
the south and a new Red Army at
tack upon Rovno, 80 miles inside
old Poland, by Gen. Nikolai Vatutin's
1st Ukraine Army remained uncon-
frmeA by Moscow.
Red Army troops took heavy toll
OF the retreating Germans in the
Kingisepp sector. More than 1900
Nazis were killed, the Moscow bull
letin said, and Soviet artillery
wrecked 60 trucks loaded with
troops, 8 tanks and 6 field batteries.
Pounding down along the Lenin-
grad-Lika-Pskov Railway, other COL
umns Of Govorov's veterans captured
80 German big guns, self-propelled
guns, $50 trucks, Is ammunition
dumps and other huge stocks Of war
material.

Tough Tax Program
Demanded by Wi||kie;
Urges Is Billion Raise
Ey the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Wendell
L. Willkie says the Nation needs
now "a tough tax program" of at
least 16 billion dollars to help pay
Tor the war or 1t risks losing "in
debt the victory we have gained
in blood" This would be nearly
six billion above the figure set
by President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Willkie urged increased taxes
beyond any limit that we have
hitherto imagined possible" in an
address last night at the first of a
series of New York Times forums
on home-front problems.
But when the war ends, Mr., Will
kie said, the wartime taxation pro-
gram must be revised, with taxes
"minimized rather than maximized. !"
For, properly managed, and with
encouragement to expand, our peace
time economy will yield more tax
income from relatively low rates,
both individual and corporate, than
from relatively high Ones" he said.
Mr.. Willkie, a prospective candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination, observed in a question
period which followed his address
that when the people thought their
representatives didn't heed them
they'll get new ones, and that's
what I'm trying to do, too"
Mr. Willkie said that inadequate
wartime revenue meant eve will
transfer such load of debt to the
future as to jeopardize the very
things for which we fight" He pre-
dicted a public debt of more than
300 billion dollars when peace
comes.
He termed unrealistic and mis-
leading the Treasury proposal for
more than 10 billions in taxes, say
ing it included a refund of more
than two billions after the war and
thus provided a net increase of
eight billions, which "is far too low"
IF we are realistic, we should aim
to raise in additional taxes more
than double that proposal" he said.
I'VE have been following fiscal
primrose path," he said. 1T will
not lead to a solution of our prob
