Bizerte and Tunis will “only B Be “Taken After a Tough. Struggle, Stoneman Says Poin | To Foe’s Strong Defense Line. > By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

UARTERS "m "NORTH

AFRICA, Feb 2.—Somehow or other, the impression seems

to have gotten around that

Bizerte and Tunis and other

important towns along the coast of Tunisia are just so ‘many apples which can be picked whenever we can get a

tall enough boy to do the job, tall boy at that. Since arriving here from Tunisia, where 1 have spent the last two months watching our troops in action, 1 ha heard people express the Hii opinion that our positions opposite

we are in possession of a number of fine springboards for our final drive. You get the idea § here that our

equipment h 8 8 ng. gionaman been superior to . the Germans and that it is just a question of getting a little more of it plus more infantry before sailing right on to the coast.

Price May Be High This just isn’t true and people will avoid disappointment later on if they understand it. The fact is that our line on the northern coast, right: down to Sheitla, northwest of Sfax, is fairly good from a defensive viewpoint but no more. The Germans and Italians opposite us have even better defensive positions all along the line and our efforts to kick them out have been costly, and in the end, futile. Before we can go for Bizerte and Tunis, or even for Kairouan in the south, we are going to have fo puncture a number of fine natural positions which are heavily fortified and strongly manned by excellent fighting men. That job, or series. of : fobs, will

have to be undertaken by good infantry and the price will probably

{| be pretty high.

Nazis Control Passes

In the far north, west of Mateur, the Germans are still dug in on the so-called green and white mountains, controlling both the road and railway to Mateur and Tunis. Two fairly serious efforts have been made to dislodge them and both failed. Where brigade attacks have proved inadequate, divisional attacks may be necessary. To the south, in the neighborhood of Medjez-El-Bab, we were confronted by equally formidable German mountain strongholds. Djebel-Ah-mera, so-called longstop hill, lies six miles north of Medjez-El-Bab absolutely blocking the road to Tebourba, Djebeida and thence to Tunis. We have made two big attacks against it since the Germans recovered it early in December and have done nothing but lose men in the process. . On the road which runs eastward from Medjez-El-Bab to Tunis, the|g Germans hold further strong hill positions around Massicault and we have never made a really big effort to oust them,

Attack Js Difficult

Going south, the next wey point in the line is Pont-Fu-Fashs, out of which the Germans made & strong attack a week ago last Monday. We have done no better than to hold them in the area between Pont-Du-Fahs and Bou Arada, where the British stopped last week. It will be a real job to take the offensive here. South of the Bouarada area, the recent German thrust south and west out of the Oued-El-Kebir area has given the enemy commanding positions around the valley of Ousseltia and has made an attack on the key town of Kairouan much more difficult for us. We have made some fairly heavy efforts to push them back but as far as is known today, the enemy is still in the valley of Ousseltia

in force and we still have to go

after them on high ground. South of Ousseltia, the positions are much more open but we still

are very far from the coast, and|

unless we are much stronger the enemy, they can play th tricks on us that we can them.

Victory Still to Commu The statement that our equipment

B| is better than the enemy’s is sub-

ject to some serious reservations as far as ‘the Tunisian front is concerned.

The thing to be remembered about!

this campaign is that we have yet

field against the Germans, al we have been on the spot and have fought them hard on several occa-

and that it won't take a very

RUML AMENDS ORIGINAL PLAN

Treasury to Meet Criti-

cism on ‘Windfalls.’

CHICAGO, Feb, 2 (U. P)~— Beardsley Ruml, author of the pay- | as-you-go tax plan, replied yester-

contentions that the government would lose money by “forgiving” 1942 incomes in : greater returns for for the current year. His amendments are: (1) do not cancel the income tax on capital gains; (2) provide a special death tax to recover “windfalls” arising from deaths in 1942 and (3) take a three-year average of income in cases over $10,000. Ruml admitted that the “windfalls” suggestions did not appear to satisfy the treasury.

Denies Inflation Spur

He insisted that his plan to forget 1942 income taxes and start paying on the current year’s income would “make much less practical difference in the upper brackets than might appear,” and that the pay-as-you-go basis would bring more money to the treasury than the current income tax system, because of a rise in national income. Rum! said he disagreed with the treasury department that the pay-as-you-go system enco i inflation, The few people who have saved tax money during the last year are not spendthrifts, he said, and the

‘burden of payments on pay-as-you-

go will be as great or greater than payments against the debt on last year’s income. Ruml answered a third criticism —that it is wrong to cancel the

debt on 1942 incomes—by saying}

that there was neither a “practical nor an ethical ground for not , . . removing the old income tax liability if that seems the best way of solving our problem.”
