The aerial offensive, which high allied officials already have announced is designed to ioften Hitler's European fortress, was believed to have gone into another lull last night, presumably because of bad weather over he continent. However, Stockholm dispatches revealed that the Germans had no illusions over being given any protracted respite from the rain of allied bombs. One German spokesman was quoted as saying in Berlin that Germany is under no illusions about the possibilities of sleeping soundly nights." From another German spokesman, Stockholm said, came the frankest admission to date as to the purpose of the intensified aerial offensive. wasted notlme In "taking owfwhmjTlchad of Maknassy, Tunisia, and seized control of this railroad station.

The ways and means committee will be unable to bring out another tax bill without the whole being question of considered again," Carlson said. I have just begun to fight "Without forgiveness and a withholding at the source feature, the treasury will be unable to collect sufficient funds to carry cn the war unless & national sales tax is levied. Theyve got to get more money and get it quick. Carlson asserted that his version of the Ruml plan would have yielded the government $3,000,000,000 more revenue this year than the present tax collection system. Democratic leaders insisted that the house's 215 to 198 vote against the Carlson-Ruplan reflected a demand for & suitable compromise between the total forgiveness proplan posal and the for a 20 per cent withholding at the source recommended by the ways and means committee. But there was considerable sentiment among the democrats, and some republicans, to let the whole question of collection methods rest. This came from members of the ways and means committee who are anxious to begin work on bills to extend the Guffey bituminous coal commission HCt, which expires April 20. and tho president's authority over reciprocal trade agreements, expiring June 12. The urgency on these measures, they said, might delay the issue Indefinitely. The showdown in the long argument over making Income taxpayers current by canceling all or a part of their 1942 taxes came late yesterday in a confusing senes of parliamentary maneuvers: Sitting as a committee of to consider amendments, the house voted 199 to 188 by teller count to substitute the Carlson-Rum- l plan for the ways and means committee's bill. When the committee arose, the full forgiveness plan was offered for formal house action and rejected by a roll call vote of 215 to 198. The house then adopted a motion by Carlson which sent the entire question back to the ways and means committee for futher deliberation. The roll call vote was 248 to 168. It was the first time In many years that the house has returned a tax bill to the ways and means committee. It also was the first time In the memory of veteran members that the house has fai'ed to back up tentative action taken in the committee of the whole. FjOIITS .
