WASHINGTON, Nov 90 Up -

though there may be IL to Is
months more Of fighting in the Pa
cific and Asia.
This strategy has at least four
main detectives:
1. To knock out the japanese
fleet. This largely was accomplish
ed during the sea battle Of the
Philippines last month. B ut the
japanese will try to repair as
many as possible of their ships.
2. To knock out the Japanese air
force. The Nipponese have suffer
ed enormous losses; The rate of at
triton has been running to l in
favor of United States filters. But
the enemy continues to restocK his
blasted air bases because his plane
production capacity has not been
hurt seriously. It's destruction must
be the first great purpose of the
strategic bombing attacks on ia
pan.
g.. To exploit the invasion of the
Philippines by conquering Luzon,
from which the southern half OF
Japan's empire can be cut off from
the northern half. This also will
afford bases for the next seaborne
invasions Tightening the r n 6 OF
American held islands around ia
pam,
4. To invade China, Japan or
both and finally defeat the Japa-
nese army wherever it c n be
found.
The japanese high command now
can see this pattern as clearly as
anybody else and has begun to
make counter-;noves. First was the
Inflated attempt to destroy the Ley
tie landing in the Philippines by a
fleet action, which precipitated the
big battle. Failing in that, the Jap
anese poured reinforcements into
Leyte and obviously into Luzon
also. This slows down the Philip
pines campaign but speeds up de-
struction of the japanese army.
The latest counter-move was the
enemy's fighter-plane challenge to

SOCIAL SECURITY
BATTLE Is seen

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. -R -
After the traditional day OF feas'
and pleasantly, Congress grapple:
again tomorrow with a pre- Christ
mas schedule loaded with issues
that may blast leadership hopes
for harmony.
Focal point is the first post
election meeting Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, headed by
Rep. Doughton (D-NC).
When the committee breaks up,
Congress probably will have a
good idea whether there is to be
one last 1874 4battle between the
White. House and Capitol Hill -
this time on whether the Social
Security tax will be allowed to
double on January l., as provided
in the basic Social Security law.
A bloc Of Republicans, aided by
some Democrats. is intent on
freezing the tax at its present
level of one per cent each on en-
ployers an demployees Congress
has done this thrice before.
Doughton said he wranted to
avoid a fight if possible, and it
appeaed to be generally conceded
on the hill that Mr.. Roosevelt
would veto another freeze" bill.
Meanwhile, the Senate had two
brewing controversies Of its own.
The question OF setting up a
Missouri Valley Authority was toss
ed into its lap, as an amendment
to the proposed billion-dollar flood
control authorization.
Waiting for it also was the .ex-
plosive St. Lawrence waterway
project. :.
Senators LANCER (R-ND) and
Murray (D-Mont) dropped in the
Missouri Valley Authority amend
ment. Il proposes to create ar
MvA on the. line of the iva to
foster hoed control, navigation, by
droelectric power and related
works, in line. with Mr.. Roosevelt's
idea of seven agencies similar to
iva.
