About all that was certain from today’s communique was that fierce fighting was continuing along the entire line and that as yet there has been nothing decisive: German quarters denied Allied allegations that the, Weygand line had merely been dented and pushed back in a few places. The line has been broken through along the entire front, military quarters insisted. . However, one Berlin newspaper quoted a German shock trooper as saying, “the French fire thundered all night long. That French artillery is anything ‘but pleasant for us. The newspapers and unofficial sources continued to exude confidence that the "French resistance soon would be crushed.

attacks has. declined in proportion tc the rate at which these units were divided in attempting td penetrate corridors between the French “strong points,” it was explained. According to the survey, the Germans failed to force the French defenses with mechanized units and were forced to reorganize their attacks, throwing in massed infantry supported by powerful artillery barrage and tanks. ° The German infantry is “attacking in waves in an effort to submerge” the Allied forces, it was added, but Weygand was described as satisfied with the operations so far, ; The French defense system now

which had penetrated as far as Forges les Eaux was com of from 200 to 300 tanks but they were not accompanied by German infantry. French and British strongpoints along the Bresle, it was said, continued to hold despite the enemy infiltrations and “a certain number of tanks now are threatened with destruction.”

Take Heavy Toll

The French and British armies, taking a heavy toll of enemy men and mechanized equipment, were described by a military spokesman as fighting strongly in a situation that is serious “but not dark.” There were three main fronts

stretches from the Bresle River to the hills north of Soisson and thence to the Maginot Line: 1. Normandy southward to Forges les Eaux. Nazi mechanized units were reported to be isolated and under attack. 2. French advance forces fell back from the Somme front between Ham and the Channel, so that the [sont now reaches from the Bresle River valley on the west to the vicinity .of Carlepont, between: the Oise and Aisne Rivers, north of Soissons. (This front was not definitely delineated, but it appeared that the Germans fighting across the Somme at Amiens and Peronne had straightened out the bulge previously caused by a curve in the river and thus had taken or swept past Amiens, Corbie and Peronne.) 3. Germans striking toward Soissons were attacking on a line between Carlepont and Coucy. This line is along the heights about seven to 10 miles north of the Alsne River on which Soissons lies. The most spectacular German advance, however, was to Forges les Eaux. :

Might Threaten Paris

Attacking at dawn, for the fourth day of the Battle of France, the German tanks, light advance units, ripped through the lines of the Allies, whose infantry fought them from hedges, ditches and rose-cov-

les Eaux, 221 miles northeast of Ouren 28 miles west of Beauvias and 57% miles north-northwest of Paris. The advance, most,8erious of the four-day battle, would put the Germans in position, if they could definitely break the Allied line with massed shock infantry, to make a direct threat at Paris or, taking Rouen, to head westward to Le Havre, 42 miles to the west of Rouen. It meant that the German tanks had advanced 36 miles since the start of the battle Wednesday at dawn, and had reached a point, at Forges les Eaux, half way between the Bresle and the Seine, at whose moth lies Le Havre, The Nazis advanced under a blistering June sun, across country of almost breath-taking beauty, dotted avith bright cottages in which until a few days ago tenacious French peasants had clung to their homes, and through rolling flelds from which only after the great battle started had the farmers started to round up the cows and the big-eyed calves, the mares and the pipe-legged frisking colts, which had raced in fright from the shells whistling over them.

Paris in Dire Peril If Nazis’

Infantry Follows Up Tanks

.By J. W. T. MASON United Press War Expert:

The success of German armored units in driving forward from the Bresle River 15 miles to Forges les Eaux would become the most serious blow Hitler has yet struck for Paris if the tank formations were followed by heavy infantry attacks. As yet, however, the Germans have not made a major effort to secure. permanent possession of the important Forges les Eaux ‘region, ‘whiéh 84 can be done only by -a. successful infantry advance. Should they do so, General Weygand would : have to face the Mr. Mason menace of ‘a di= rect attack on Paris from the northwest or a German maneuver to attaék the rear of the Allied forces along the

Somme from Amiens tothe channel.

An offensive of such serious pretensions would require a complicated German maneuver, involving the swinging of many infantry divisions to the southeast with Abbeville as the pivot. It would be dangerous but not impossible, and this may be one of the new efforts which the German High Command appears to be pondering. It is apparent, however, Dat the Germans are perplexed by the slow progress of the drive for Paris, shown by Berlin’s announcement that several days must elapse before detailed military reports are made public.

Seek Weak Points

They are using their armored attacks to find the ardently desired weak part of the Allied front and the Forges les Eaux movement may be .no more than a tentative expleratory operation, to be abandoned if Weygand can counter the tank offensive or to be followed up later if he cannot. The importance of Forges les Eaux is due to its proximity to the railway junction of Serqueux, a mile or two away. At Serqueux the railways from Dieppe, Rouen and Amiens join the main line running to Paris, 60 miles southeast. The strategic value of this junction is especially important because it might be used as the start of an advance either toward Paris or in the direction of Amiens for an offensive against the Allied rear. The terrain, however, is difficult for attack. It is partly protected by hills, offering advantageous positions for defending troops, and there are several streams well dis= tributed to interfere with an advance on a broad front. To evade these obstacles an attack on Paris, if contemplated from this direction, might cause the Germans to try to" move southwest to Rouen, 25 miles away, where the Seine Valley offers some advantage for a blow toward Paris. Requires Front Extension

But, a large extension of the German front would be required

\before such a venture could be

risked, to accomplish which, other parts of the Hitler front might have to be weakened. The Forges Les Eaux plunge is a movement away from the Channel

ports of Dieppe and Havre, whose capture was said by Berlin early this week to be an objective of the Abbeville drive. This offensive, however, now is aimed southeastward instead of westward toward the Channel, showing the fluctuating nature of the German strategy. . The entire plan of battle, in fact, has become confused, perhaps deliberately so, in order to allow the Germans to attempt a surprise offensive from an unsuspected quarter. It will require unremitting alertness on the ‘part of General evgand to be on guard. Yet, any lull in the German offensive while plans are being changed will give Weygand invaluable time to strengthen his new defenses for the protection of Paris.

|Basic Revision of Individual

MILLIONS MORE

Income Levy Structure . Seems Assured.

By MARSHALL M’NEIL - Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 8—A basic revision of the individual income tax structure, calculated to bring millions of new taxpayers intq the fold and to take from persons of medium wealth a larger portion of

their income, is Practically assured |

now. The changes were. to be recommended to the House Ways and Means Committee today by its tax subcommittee. This group “tentatively” agreed upon them yesterday. Normally, the subcommittee’s recommendations are accepted by the full committee. House leaders plan to call the hill up for consideration next Tuesday and hope t6 speed it to the Senate in one day. With these changes, the new tax bill will raise a little more than $1,000,000,000. Called Important Change

Of this amount, $652,000,000 will come from the 10 per cent supertaxes on income and excise taxes,

$77,000,000 will come from'a 1 per|.’

cent increase in all four brackets of the corporate income tax, plus the corporation super-tax, and $277,000,000 will come from the changes in individual income mates. The sub-committee’s plan for broadening the base of the individual income tax structure, and for increasing the surtaxes, especially in the middle ‘brackets, is regarded by many as one of the most important changes in the revenue laws since the original income tax legislation more than 25 years ago. The ifhmediate cause of these fyndamental shifts in thes permanent tax structure is the Administration’s vast defense program involving expenditure of nearly. $5,000,000,000. Urged for 10 Years

+ But the seed for these changes was sown more than 10 years ago by Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr. (Prog. Wis.) and others. Since then, year after year without success until now, the Senator, the Scripps-Howard Newspapers, and others have fought for such legislaion. In addition to lowering the personal exemptions for married and single persons, the sub-committee will recommend. that all single persons- with gross income of $800 and all married persons with gross income of $2000 be required to file income tax returns. This will affect some 8,000,000 persons not now filing returns, but most of these will pay no tax. The committee decided that the present normal tax rate of 4 per cent should apply tinchanged, but that the surtaxes should be in‘creased. The following table, showing how rates in other representative brackets have been increased by the subcommittee, demenstrates also how the burden on persons of medium wealth is being increased:

Surtax Net In. Rate Under _Rate Under come in 1000's Present Law Proposed Law

$10-12 ...... Tpercent 10 percent 14-16 ...... 9 « 15 20-22 ...... 15 24 28-32 ieee. 19 30 40-44 ...... 24 36 50-56 ...... 31 44 70-74 sess 43 . 50 100-150 ..... 58 58 sevefises HI 73

Although the surtax rates are unchanged in the brackets from $100,000 up, persons in these brackets will pay greatly increased taxes, since large parts of their income will be subject to the boosts in the lower levels.

* Table Gives Amounts

The table below translates these rates into the actual amounts of tax due under the existing and proposed laws. The table covers married persons with no dependents and who have the maximum earned-income credit. The amount payable under the proposed .law includes the 10 per cent super-tax:

Taxable is Under Tax Under Net Income Present Law Proposed Law

$ 2500 § 0 $ 11.00 3,000 8.00 30.80 4,000 44.00 70.40 5,000 80.00 110.00 7,000 172.00 233.00 10,000 415.00 528.00 15,000 924.00 1,258.00 20,000 1,589.00 2,336.00 30,000 . 3,569.00 5,614.00 40,000 5,979.00 9,552.00 50,000 8,869.00 14,128.00 100,000 32,469.00 43,476.00 1,000,000 679,044.00 717,584.00

Single men would be taxed slightly higher. The present exemption of $1,000 for single men would be reduced to $800, the lowest exemption in Federal income tax history.

for which the Army now will: receive about 50 million dollars. It was learned that some of the equipment already has been shipped ‘to the company and that plans have been completed for its transfer to Eastern seaboard ports for shipment to the Allies.

Official sources disclosed that present plans call for turning over to U. S. Steel 600,000 Lee-Enfield rifles, nearly 1000 75-millimeter guns of British and French make, some Lewis machine guns and large quantities of ammunition. The same “trade in” procedure is being applied in ‘disposing of at least 340 Army and Navy planes. Fifty Navy scout bombers already have been returned to the Curtiss Aeroplane Co., Buffalo, N. Y., and another 40 will 'be returned shortly. More may be added later. . Meantime, unconfirmed reports circulated here that the Administration is planning to ask Congress before adjournment for an additional one billion dollars in contract

gram. Most of the authorization reportedly would be for airplanes. The. plan reported to, be under discussion is that such an authorization would enable the Army and Navy to work out comprehensive deals with planemakers, giving them a huge quantity of contracts which would enable them to figure out their orders for about two years. in advance,

Allies to Pay More :

An Administration spokesman implied, in connection with the plane “trade-ins,” that the Allies will. pay more for the planes than this Government originally paid. The Government, he said, “is getting new car prices for used car materials.” He also denied arguments, advanced by some critics, that

would weaken U. S. defenses. In

unshipped or on the assembly lines. An authoritative source disclosed that the Anglo-French purchasing mission is attempting to obtain war planes which neutral nations have on order here. They have asked the neutrals, it was said, to accept delayed deliveries in order that the Allies may have the planes for immediate use on the Western Front. The mission reportedly is interested particularly in obtaining an) order by Sweden: for 200 planes which is almost filled. But it was understood that Sweden was reluc-

LONDON, Junie 8 (U.P) —British military experts, still hesitant to believe that the failure of Ger many’s blitzkrieg legions to break the Weygand line in France means anything but that the real attack has not begun, suggested today that Adolf Hitler might be aiming at a completely new attack, with Italy's aid, through Switzerland. As they spoke German planes scattered bombs over eight English counties early this morning, and machine-gunned one town, in the third widespread raid in three days.
