Among specific increases proposed by the Treasury, it was understood, is a one cent per gallon increase in the present gasoline tax, making the Federal levy 2'; cents.

I saw some of the German planes on their way to put the finishing touches to Larissa, a rail center 35 miles south of Mt. Olympus. That city of 24,000, wrecked by an earthquake and by Italian bombers before the German attack started, has been bombed, burned and machine-gunned night and day by the Germans. It has been destroyed.
