Prisoners Taken
Dispatches from the northern

units which had been engaged
for four days in attacking Kazar

army finally broke and fled yes
terday in the face of a battering
artillery fire which left the field
of battle strewn with burning
vehicles and blackened with the
smoke of explosives. -

barrage, the dispatches said

their machines and joined, the

whistling shells had picked them
out in their hidden pockets.
Allied patrols were busy round

and marching them back to the

The gunners claimed the de

and today's allied headquarters
communique said heavy damage
had been inflicted on axis posi

Kazar Mezous apparently is a
small railway station about nine

northwest of Medjez-el-Bab. Sed

ON SALES TAX
Klamath chamber of com

vote Wednesday the opinion that
any Oregon sales tax proposal
should include a definite limit
on the rate of taxation, and
should Include rigid provisions
that the taxes collected will be
an offset on real property and
Income taxes.
The chamber directors also
advocated exemption of certain
necessities of life, such as food,
from taxation under the soles

any sales tax proposal to the
people for a vote.

SALEM, March 3 (If) The

committee recommended S to 3

3 per cent sales tax bill which
would be referred In November
1944 to the voters, who have
overwhelmingly defeated sales
tax proposals- four time al
ready. If the house approves it, the
committee will report out a
companion bill to provide for
a 30-mlll property tax limit.
The committee, estimated the
tax would raise $20,000,000 a
year, with 20 per cent to be
used for public assistance, 60
per cent for property tax relief,
and 20 per cent to support
schools.
Tax tokens would not be
