Another ' German broadcast heard In London said the emer gency decree was accompanied by a declaration that anti-Ger man outbreaks "will be broken by force of arms." A Reuters dispatch from Stockholm quoted Swedish press reports yesterday that 3000 to 4000 German soldiers had been imprisoned for a mutiny at Alta In far northern Norway, and that 17 officers had been cashiered and 43 soldiers sentenced to death.

German circles in commenting on rumors current abroad to the effect that the sit uation in Denmark had become tense," said one DNB , dispatch broadcast from Berlin, "It is pointed out, however," the dispatch added, "that the .situation there is not quite as might be expected in view of the extremely correct attitude shown by all German authorities In Denmark.

Churchill went on: "I have really nothing to add certainly not on the spur of the moment to the carefully weighed statement I have made on this subject, and I would strongly advise the house not to press these matters at a period which is certainly significant." The British war leader warned last week against speculation on the possible time and place of allied offensive actions. In Moscow, the sharpest Rus sian editorial expression to date on the lack of a second front appeared in a Pravda cartoon showing a group of "Colonel Blimp"-type generals listening dumbly to two strong officers labelled "General Decisiveness" and "General Courage." The stiffed-shirt officers were tagged with such names as "Gen eral Cannot Risk," "General No Hurry" and "General Let's Wait." Soviet newspapers gave front page prominence to Stalin's let ter to the-Associated Press. Wild Fighting Simultaneously, in far oft Chungking, China, Wendell . L. Willkie expressed hope - that Stalin's letter would "bring Rus sia's.imperative needs forcefully to the attention of the peoples of the United Nations." Wild street fighting continued inside Stalingrad and in the northwest outskirts, while above the city, op a 40-mile front be tween the Don and Volga rivers, the Russians hammered new dents in the vital German left flank. Two soviet bulletins told of progress against the so-called German "barrier" guarding the main nazi siege armies.

Just ask Howard Gardner, who now. has done both.

He re ported the plane by telephone to an army filter center, arid an army patrol plane bombed a submarine off the coast later that morning. It was not an nounced whether the bombs de stroyed the sub, which presum ably launched the plane Gard ner saw, Gardner, who helped put out the fire started by the Incendiary bomb, said he did not sea the bomb released.

In some Instances, at least, the lax rate Is higher than that of Great Britain, the senator's figures showed, "If wo look at tho first bruekut of Individual Income tax rales under this bill," ho said, "we will find that tho total normal and surtax into amounts lo 10 per cent. In addition, tho 5 per cent vctory tax raises this total to 24 per cent. It we udd to this the 40 per 'cent Imposed upon corporations, we will have total rata of 64 per cent on individual incomes as compared with tho British ratu of 50 por cent. Moruover, In Croat Brit ain, no state or local tuxui are imposod." George said the committee gave careful consideration to the recommendations of Chair man Donald Nelson of tho war production board In fixing tho excess profits rate at 90 pur cant with a 10 per cent post war refund, given In non-negotiable, non-Interest bearing bauds payable after tho war. He gavo four main reasons for tho post war credit: "1. With a high corporate tux, it will give tho tuxpuyor an lm mcdlato incentive to make the corporation more efficient In its operation and keep Its costs down to a reasonable basis. "2. It will allow more Imme diate revenue to the government than could otherwise be secured under high rates. "3. It will provide the corpor ation with a post-war reservo to enablo it to undertake the task of rehabilitation and readjust ment after the war. "4. By having a tendency to hold down costs, It will offset somewhat tho effect of an 'un duly high excess profits tax up on Inflation." George estimated the broad ening of the Individual Income tax base by reducing the per sonal exemptions would add ap proximately 7,000,000 new tux payers, with 600,000 more added by a reduction of tho credit for dependents from $100 to $300.
