Eight Groups Urge More Drastic Taxes WASHINGTON, D. C.

UP -Eight national organizations, in eluding the CIO, Thursday called for more drastic wartime taxes, declaring that bill shaped by the house ways and means committee fails to tax adequately "high personal incomes" and "unpar alleled corporate profits." The organizations proposed a $25,000 ceiling on salaries, after taxes, but, opposed any form of national retail sales tax. They also protested any form of "gag" rule that would prohibit amendment of the committee's bill when it reaches the house floor. The committee is about ready to submit to the house a bill providing $2,250,000,000 in new levies 80 percent short of the administration's request for additional revenue. The groups set forth their po sition in a message addressed to each member of congress. It was signed by President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, and representatives of the National Farmers union, Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Women's Trade Union League of America, League of Women Shoppers, National Law yers guild and Consumers union.

FRIDA AND SA Users Told To Limit Driving To Necessities WASHINGTON, D. C. (UEJ Rubber Director Bradley Dewey warned Wednesday that the next six to nine months would bring the most critical tire shortage of the war, and told and gasoline card holders toj cut their driving to "bare necessity" be cause they would not get any new tires "in the visible future." In a survey of the rubber situation, Dewey sounded the most serious note since the 1942 Baruch report He said synthetic production was going according to schedule, but that facilities for producing tires and rayon and cotton tire cords were still far from complete. Makes Recommendations. He said military requirements are tremendous; production of one large bomber tire alone cancels out the ability to produce up to 3u passenger car tires.

The natural crude rubber stock pile, he said, will be lower by the end of 1944 than the Baruch com mittee considered an irreducible minimum and severe restrictions will have to be imposed to bring consumption down. He listed the situation in regard to truck and bus tires as "ex tremely serious." and, predicted it would become worse. He recom mended the following program: Truck and bus companies must stop overloading and speeding, particularly on hot pavements, if they wish to remain in business, Every tire that can be saved by recapping must be used. Pool Must Increase. and drivers entitled to less than 601 miles of rationed driving per month must reduce their driving to "bare necessity" if they wish to stay on the road.

They'll get no new tires. Bruising and rough driving must be eliminated, car pooling must, be increased, recapping resorted to more and more, and all possible conservation measures such limiting speeds strictly, to 35 miles per hour must be undertaken if drivers wish to continue to On the brighter side, he said recaps were more plentiful and of better quality; the synthetic program is in good shape all plants scheduled to turn out man made rubber to be in operation early in 1944. Asks Better Planninr. Dewey disclosed that 17,200,000 tires of all kinds the equivalent of about 12,000,000 new tires in wear value will have been dis tributed by the end of this year, In 1942, only 4,700,000 tires were released. The government's goal for 1944 civilian production is still a mini mum of 30,000,000 synthetic tires Ope 8:48 lie sm 30c, Tax FaU ENDS TODAY "Take Letter Darling" 1:28, 10:28 "SH.

LOUIS. UP) How the curiosity of an American soldier, puzzled over Japanese climbing a tree and not coming down, resulted in the destruction of an observation post and the death of 26 Nipponese was related by Maj.

Edward C. Scherrer, 30, Shawnee-town, 111., reconnaissance officer. The soldier reported his curiosity to an officer who was unable to find any of the Japs. He ordered it dynamited and "when the tree fell 26 Japs rolled out and with them a complete radio field outfit," Maj. Scherrer said.

"The Japanese had hollowed out the trunk and fitted it with bunks and everything needed for a complete barracks." The tree was a banyan mat grows by spreading out aerial shoots which grow into the ground and eventually take on the appearance of a tangled grove.

The signals are now fairly set for the Allied offensives in both the European and the Asiatic theaters, and the way things are developing we are likely to see them go into action at somewhere near the same time. This doesn't necessarily mean that we are to expect the big shows to open tomorrow, or a week from tomorrow, for it takes' much time to prepare; for any great operation and especially an amphibious one.

However, it can be said that the preliminaries are well advanced. Actually there probably will be not one but several almost simultaneous assaults launched in both Europe and Asia. The idea will be to bedevil the enemy on as many fronts as possible at the same time to weaken him by dividing his forces. Hitler and Hirohito wili be as busy as hound dogs with fleas. French to Join Us.

Indications are that when the day for the big invasion of western France arrives the main cross channel assault will be supported by thrusts at numerous other points along the coasts of France, the low countries and Norway, though some of these will be feints "and won't be developed. An invasion of southern France through the Rhone valley may also be expected, bringing into action the 300,000 or more French soldiers who are waiting fever ishly in north Africa for a chance to fight again for their country. A drive into the Balkans is another contingency. By Another Year The offensive against the Japs will be a many pronged affair. Observers generally expect it to develop into a vast pincers move ment with the main claws reach ing out for Japan from India in southeast Asia and from the American strongholds in the southwest and western Pacific.

By Armistice day next year the Allied fortunes should be bright The war in Europe likely will be a thing of the past, and the full might of America and Britain will have been turned on Japan. No man can forecast the of time it will take that striking power to crush Nippon, but we can at least be sure that, come another Nov. 11 we shall have put the sign of death on the brow of Japanese militarism even if the war isn't finished.

UP) The capitals of the world, rejoiced 25 years ago that the deadliest war of all time! was ended In Paris four years of fighting on their own earth had sobered the people, but the realization that the fury was ended released their highest spirits. Belgium had survived an ordeal which turned much of her soil into a grisly sepulchre and infected the air with rot. The mood of Bel gium generally was quieter.

In London, the starch in the British facade dissolved and there was a kind of madness in Trafal gar square, Piccadilly circus, Lei cester square, the Strand, Fleet street. No Dream Then. Washington, New York, and also Main street gave themselves up to riotous release. Peace was no dream. Not then, The dream lasted, despite a grea deal of violent retching and toss ing, until a certain autumn when the world was filled again with the sound of cannon lire Then that Armistice day of 1939 mocked the dream.

A year afterward only the ren egade Lord Haw Haw, yammer' ing on the Berlin radio, thought of bringing up the subject again. He taunted the British with the big words that they had sung previous winter.

She "had depth charged one U-boat to the bottom then engaged a second. She rammed and ran up on top of the "biggest sub I ever saw," said Hutchins.

"We stopped out engines and held him there and started shooting with everything we had. Some men fired shotguns; the executive officer grabbed a tommy gun and started shooting from the bridge; others used pistols, one boy even took a pistol and fired at the sub." The range was too short for the big guns to bear. One gun captain "started throwing empty shall cases and he knocked one man off the deck of the sub." Another Nazi was knocked overboard by a thrown knife. Fighting at 10 Foot Range. For 10 minutes the fighting almost hand to hand raged at a 10 foot range.
