London Sees Nazis Done In Russia
London observers believe Germany cannot launch a major new attack in Russia, fighting to avoid destruction and defend the fatherland. Manpower shortages on a 1,100 mile front are cited, with defense lines along the Dnieper, Bug, and Dniester, and the Curzon line as limits to Nazi hopes. The Russians push ahead while Germany loses key industrial regions and grain, yet Russia shows no sign of weakening in manpower or materiel.

Rep Taber of New York proposed a 10 percent federal retail sales tax paired with strict government spending limits. As ranking Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, he framed it as war finance relief, countering calls for higher income taxes and drawing attention in Capitol Hill tax circles. The move followed GOP concerns on revenue and the Ways and Means Committee actions on recovery law and speeding a general revenue bill.
