Washington notes a tenuous peace among war producers with speculation over Ferdi nand Eberstadt as mediator and Nelson appointees stirring cabinet tensions. The Robertson Forand pay as you go tax plan passes House, promising major personal tax relief after July 1, while critics warn it remains complex and legalistic. Growing daylight bombing losses prompt questions about Germany’s defense methods, but Britain maintains night raid losses near 1 in 20, with the Tunisian peninsula treated as a potential, temporary retreat for Nazis.
