Congress Studies Joint Victory and Income Tax Plan
The House Ways and Means Committee postponed hearings on a new general tax law to await Treasury and staff readiness. George of the Joint Revenue Committee discussed consolidating the 5 percent Victory levy with the normal 6 percent income tax, potentially boosting to a wartime 10 percent and trimming exemptions. He urged simplification of the March 15 return form and proposed eliminating the windfall provision. President Roosevelt faced criticism from Rep. Reed over tax burden timing as the committee moves to simplify returns and push for revenue increases.

Fifth Army presses Salerno bridgehead amid intense fighting and bold German drives
Fifth Army conducted its most intensive operations to date surrounding Salerno, attacking roads, railways, enemy positions, and troop concentrations while smoke and dust veil the battlefield. German forces, including the 29th motorized division and armor from the 1st and 16th Panzer divisions, pressed heavy assaults backed by tanks. Allied naval fire and air sorties restrained the German onslaught as US and British troops held and expanded the beachhead, though some ground was ceded in the Sele River valley to contending high ground. A US officer said the enemy attacks show their urgency, while frontline reports noted Allied confidence and resolve.
