AN AIRDROME SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Aug. 11 (U, P.)— English fliers who almost nightly are carrying out raiding missions in Germany and German-occupied France are more than satisfied with the performance of American-made Flying Fortresses.

Poll 48 States

A representative cross-section of voters in all the 48 states were asked to give their views of what a fair income tax would be for a typical] family of four—father, mother and two children—earning various sums, from $1000 to $100.000. i The actual question was: “In order to heip pay for defense! the government will be forced to in-| crease income taxes. If you were] the one to decide, how much income | tax, if any, would you ask a typical! family of four with an income of (various sums from $1000 to $100,-| 000) to pav?” The arithmetical mean of the va-| rious tax amounts named, and a comparison with the proposed rate in the new tax bill, follow: |

Smolensk Fighting Continues

The fact that the second communique of the day did not mention Soltsi might indicate a lessening of Nazi pressure there, but it was said that fighting continued unabated around Uman.

Radio Man Balks Boating Tragedy

A White River boating tragedy was averted yesterday when Phillip Nash, WFBM sound engineer, rescued one of three occupants of a capsized canoe near the Green City boathouse. Mr. Nash, who was waiting for | the arrival of a speedboat, saw the canoe containing two men and a woman tip over in about 12 feet of water. One of the occupants swam to shore, another clung to the capsized canoe and the third fainted and sank immediately. Mr. Nash plunged in without removing his clothes and brought the man to shore where he was revived immediately.

and at least five of them were shot down. Air raid sirens sounded at 11 p. m. and the “all clear” came 42 hours later. The Germans attacked in force but it was asserted officially that most of them were scattered by night fighter planes and gunfire. High explosive and incendiary bombs dropped by those planes which did reach the capital area caused some casualties, including i fatal ones, and started fires in several dwellings, a communique said. |

Japan Goes on War Basis; Bulk of Forces on Thailand Border.

By UNITED PRESS

TOKYO, Aug. 11 (U.P.).—Japan girded for war on the economic front today as the press reported the United States “prepared with resolution” to face any emergency {arising in the Pacific. The increasing strain of diplomatic and economic tug-of-war in the Far East was indicated in developments on a vast front from Siberia to the Dutch East Indies, including: 1. Approval of four ordinances to the general Japanese mobilization act designed to shift the nation economically and financially to a full war footing. 2. A statement by Kaname Wakasugi, Japanese Minister to Washington who is now in Los Angeles, that the United States was much | concerned regarding the future po- | sition of Thailand and that Americans “seem prepared with resolution” after arranging to enforce] “step by step all counter-measures” | against any action Japan may | take.” 3. A report by the newspaper Hochi that the United States had proposed that America and Russia take concerted defensive measures if a “third power” attacked the Dutch East Indies.

Dispatches from China that a Chinese guerrilla offensive had been started in the Yellow River area in order to tie up Japanese troops that might otherwise be shifted for action in Siberia or the South Pacific. 6. Dispatches from Japanese-oc-cupied Saigon that the bulk of the Japanese expeditionary force in French Indo-China arrived and had {been sent to Cambodia province, bordering Thailand (Siam).

Thailand Strengthens Border

7. Bangkok dispatches that the Thai armed forces were sent to strategic border points in line with the Government's policy of strictly enforcing Thailand's neutrality. United States Army officers arrived in Bandoeing, in the Dutch East Indies, today to confer with Dutch authorities regarding delivery of American war material. 8. A sudden call of an emergency Cabinet meeting in Australia and the statement of Prime Minister Robert G. Menzies that “there is no doubt that the Pacific situation is more full of danger than ever before.” 9.

The High Command's communi« que said merely that in the southe ern Ukraine the Germans were making “rapid” progress in “pursuit of the retreating enemy.” On other fronts operations were described as proceeding according to plan, while the Luftwaffe again dropped “many tons” of bombs on Moscow, “particularly on the arms industry in the northwest and east parts of the city.” This communique, issued from Adolf Hitler's headquarters, was supplemented by an official news agency dispatch asserting that the 180th Russian Infantry Division was “completely annihilated” during a German sortie south of Lake Ilmen, on the Leningrad-Moscow front, Single “enemy” planes flew over Serman territory last night from the Northeast (the direction of Russia) in an attempt to bomb Berlin, but were driven off by antie aircraft batteries which shot down wo of the raiders, the High Come nang said, (The High Command did not say whether they were Russian planes but Radio Berlin — heard in New York—saick that “Russian raids” on the German capital show weakness rather than Red Air Fleet strength. “It is so weak that its hope to gain any successes of military .mportance has already vanished. Thus there remains no aim but to gain a political or propagandistic success,” the broadcast said.)

The County Council today was asked to appropriate §1777 for additional pay to 11 Marion County Tuberculosis Hospital nurses. Hospital officials said the expane sion of Army hospital facilities has caused a shortage of nurses. The council is expected to act on the request tomorrow. Other requests for additional appropriations were $3000 for a new jell at Sunnyside and $2500 for poor house repairs.
