Writer Poses Possible Error at Sea
DeWitt MacKenzie weighs whether the Greer attack was a misfired torpedo by a German U boat or a calculated Nazi ploy. He argues Hitler may want the U S Navy to engage but not yet in the western theater, while predicting Mediterranean operations and a renewed Atlantic U boat drive ahead of a future Allied invasion. The piece also notes Britain delaying invasion until spring unless Russo Nazi developments force action and the Russian bloodletting aiding an English Channel crossing.

Senate Bills Seek Tax Changes Amid Delayed Action
The Senate killed an amendment to a record tax bill that would have blocked income splitting in community property states, clearing the way for final action. Idaho is among eight states with community property rules, and the proposal would have saved about 5 million dollars annually but was rejected. The bill totals 3.5839 billion, higher than the House approved amount by 367.5 million. A separate pension amendment was deferred, and a proposed 5 annual use tax on autos and a boat tax scale drew controversy as amendments were processed over two days.
