SIX Enforced Saving To Ban Inflation Asked of Senate WASHINGTON, July 29 (AP) A New York merchant urged the senate finance committee yes terday to siphon off 25 to 30 bil lion dollars "surplus purchasing power" from the public through a compulsory savings plan de signed to curb Inflation. Senator Taft R-Ohlo) said he agreed with the witness, Jul ian Golman, that compulsory sav ings would serve better than taxs cs to take up the increase in nat ional purchasing power. "The thing that worries me Is the machinery," Taft said. Gold man said that despite price ceil ings, inflationary trends already are apparent and "black markets ure being created". Senator Vandenberg (R-Mlch) told other members of the com mittee that limiting Individual In comes to $25,000 a year would yield only enough additional revenue to foot the nation's war bills four days and ten hours. Vandenberg said he presented the estimate, in the hearings on the bill to raise $6,271,000,000 in new taxes, to demonstrate just what might be expected from such a limitation. He said the treasury depart ment made the estimate, at his request, reporting that $GG0,000 000 additional revenue could bo expected If a $25,000 limit were established and the tax rates voted by the house were retained. President Roosevelt has sug gested the $25,000 figure as the most an individual should have left over after paying his taxes during the war. J Continuing its public hearings! 1o receive the suggestions of tax payers, the committee heard Benjamin C. Marsh of the People's a private organization. Marsh declared that if congress did not adopt a payaswego plan to finance the war, "a commission should be created to study the tactics and technique of repud iationthat Is the alternative." Hamburg Again Raided By British Air Fleet (Continued from page 1 1 and others still were missing In the wreckage.) (The German high command said 45 raiders wcra shot clown last night in the Hamburg area, and reported additional casuul lties and damage there.) Nazi Worry Increased An RAF commentator said that 1,200 tons of bombs were dropped on Dulsburg and Hamburg on the nights of July 25 and 2G and that the continuing attacks were causing "Increasing con cern" to the nazl government. The weight of the attacks has forced the Germans to exaggerate the number of their planes raid ing Britain and to discount the British strength, he said. Meanwhile, Hurricane fighter bombers patrolling the German held coast were said to have dam aged a 300 to 400-ton steamer and a motor torpedo boat, and prob ably damaged three other vessels. An RAF account of last night's raid said: "There was much heavy cloud over the city but largo fires were seen by n number of the crews who went down below the cloud In face of fierce opposition from anti-aircraft guns and search lights to bomb from a low level." Other Areas Blasted The air ministry announced that other pilots flying Hurrican es, Bostons and Havocs damaged airdromes, railways and German- controlled communications in northern France, Belgium and Holland and attacked channel shipping last night. Three fighters were lost, pre sumably on . these forays. Two enemy fighters were de stroyed yesterday by British coastal patrol fliers, it was an nounced. The British reported a single German aircraft bombed a point on the coast of east Anglla by daylight this morning, causing n small number of casultles and some damage. This followed attacks during darkness last right by a small number of nu-n-rs over eastern England. Their bombs "did some damage and at one point a small number of casultles was caused," n British communique said. Woe In Store For Nazis In his warning to nazl Ger many, Air Marshal Harris add ed: "You have no chance, soon we will be coming over every night, every day rain, flood or snow we and the Americans."

"In comparison to what it will be like as soon as our own pro duction of bombers comes to flood tide and American product ion doubles and then redoubles, all that has happened so far will seem very little." Ship Toll Compiled The admiralty estimated today that 7,184,760 tons of German and Italian shipping had been sunk, captured, damaged or Interned, exclusive of United States actions, since the outbreak of the war. Britain's navy and the war craft of her European allies, ex cluding Soviet Russia, have sunk, captured or damaged 953,681 tons of axis vessels since the first of the year, the admiralty said. These actions Increased to 6, 178,681 tons the total of German and Italian shipping sunk, captur ed or damaged since the outbreak of the war, it added.

The communique reported that heavy bombers of the allied air forces took part In the attack on Suda bay which almost certainly meant that United States bomb ers participated.

Prominent Aviatrix Of Tacoma Killed in Crash MILES CITY, Mont., July 29 (AP) Trapped in the wreckage of a plane which crashed in Graveyard Creek valley, Emllle Nofke, 22, of Tacoma, Wash., burned to death yesterday. The plane, one of six small privately-owned craft being flown from Tacoma to Aberdeen, S. D., smashed against a steep hill when Miss Nofke made a forced land ing. All of the planes were forced down near Hathaway, 20 miles east of this eastern Montana city. The five undamaged craft resumed their flight, which start ed at Tacoma Sunday night. Miss Nolke was a widely known Tacoma aviatrix. She had been a ground school instructor in the CAA program at Pasco and Yakima, Wash., and had operated an aviation ground school at Boe ing field Seattle.

Aleutian Aircraft Units Placed Under One Head WASHINGTON, July 29-(AP) Creation of a unified command of all aircraft operations in the Aleutian islands was announced by the navy today. It said that details as to com mand relationships and the exact location of headquarters could not be disclosed as they would be of value to the enemy. The navy reported, however, that a naval officer now in the Aleutians area had been placed in command of the joint operations by naval and army aircraft. The same system of r xrational con trol under one head which has unified commands in joint opera tions in Hawaii, Australia, the canal zone, the eastern Caribbean and the various sea frontiers will be effective In the Aleutians. The Japanese have occupied three Islands In the western Aleutians.

KOSttURS KEWS.REV1EW, ROSEBURS, Douglas Tax Bill Will be Halved Douglas county will receive only $1,695.16 of the $3,390.31 for which claim has been made for payment from the federal gov ernment in lieu of taxes on Coos Bay Wagon Road grant lands, the county court reported today. Of the sum to be received by the county, the general road fund will be credited with $447.12, while $1,248.04 will go to schools and the county high school tuition fund. Fifty per cent of the total amount is to be retained by the federal government to be credit ed toward charges against the Coos Bay Wagon road grant fund. The amount claimed from the federal government, covering the six months taxing period from January 1 to June 30, 1942, Is less than usual due to the fact that there was no tax levy during that period for state and general county expenditures, other than for the general road fund. Food Will Be Short, Warning of Roosevelt (Continued from page 1) arrival of the off-season for beet Ransacking Urged. Describing the coming scrap salvage drive as an opportunity tor every person to take a per sonal part in the war effort, the president called upon families to ransack cellars, attics and back yards for old metal, rubber and ho urged that waste fats be turn-, ed over to meat markets. The lack of raw materials, Mr. Roosevelt added, Is in many ways a seriously limiting factor In war production. The more scrap turn ed in, he said, the greater the output of planes, tanks and guns. The president said he still was scrutinizing the inflation prob lem but was not ready to an nounce his next step. Informa tion on the subject he said, was being boiled down for him by Samuel Rosenman, New York su preme court justice, a close ad visor. Cargo Plane Plan Eyed. A WPB official testified today that a shortage of engines of suf ficient horsepower prevents a quick shift to production of giant air cargo and troop-carrying ships. Harold E. Talbot, director of air transportation for the war pro duction board, told the senate de fense investigating committee that engines in production are al located through next year, but he added that the army and navy had "not neglected construction of curgo planes and troop trans ports. Any greater shift to such car riers, he said, would have to be MARKET REPORTS LIVESTOCK PORTLAND, Ore., July 28. (AP) (U. S. Dept. Agr.)
