FIVE CENTS COI'Y Estates And Gifts * Tax Increases Are Rejected In House New Administration Request Turned Down By Ways, Means Body Washington. Oct. 2o—{AI*) ! —The House Ways and Menus ( unmittee voted today against anv increase in estate and jrii't taxes, trimniinjr $400,000,000 from tlie administration's re-' quest lor $10,500,000,000 in new wartime revenue levies. 'I'he committee last week turned thumbs down on any increase in | j: dividual itu me taxes. The adminisrtatioa had asked SO.- ' VKt.iiDii.oao in addition levies oil per il. i! incomes. Today's action left only cor poration and excise levies open anient; tile media through which tIn* administration hoped to chan nel new funds to the Treasury. Without the adoption of a Federal retail sale? lax or s:mie other new V\y there appeared little likelihood the new revenue bill, now being draftd, would provide more than $2, uon.ooo.ooo. The Treasury has asked for in rrea-es ill corporation taxes to ga iner in $1.11)0.000.(100. There appeared little likelihood, however, that such a large increase would be approved.

A Uriel air ministry communique atmouneing the RAF raids gave no details <>l tin- overnight operations, which also included mine-laving in enemy watery. All planes were said 10 have returned safety. The American attacks yesterday were reported by the Berlin radio apparently were on a heavy scale. Allied cuntirmation and lull details of this daylight flight, presumably across the Adriatic mountains of Vugsolavia. were mil forthcoming immediately but llir German broadcasts gave every indication the attack was a big surprise anil was carried out in great force. tl c.iino at the very moment when 11 major new development was being unfolded Britain for the two-di rection air attacks against Germany —the installation on British bases of squadrons of P-38 Lightning fight ers equipped with extra fuel tanks to give them a range of 1.100 mils. In the Berlin broadcast, the Ger man news agency DNB declared that 300 heavy bomber.-* escorted by 200 fighters attacked unspecified towns in Germany and Austria, explaining that targets in the Austrian prov ince of Styria were among the ob jectives and that at one place "major damage was caused.

Coal, Rail Strikes Are Now Feared Washington, Oct. 25—(AP)—Con tinued rail transportation and coal production hung in the balance to day. threatened by strikes over wages. The War Production Board foresaw crippling resulls in sleel plants, shipyards and munitions factories unless the situation eases quickly. The soft coal problem, raised be cause the United Mine Workers arc without a contract with the opera tors. was complicated further by re ports that the War Labor Board was cool lo a "model" plan. The WLB, trustworthy sources said. is not likely to approve the union-backed "model"— a contract with thp Illinois Sof( Coal Operators Association raising wages in effect $1.50 a day. An alternate formula, calling for S1.12'-j a aay more may be suggested by the board. This knowledge came out of week-end conferences in which the board ex plored the subject extensively. The rail employment problem meantime lieared a crisis. The five operating unions prepared for a strike vote among 350,000 workers who demanded a minimum wage boost of $3.00 a day. A federal emergency board recommended an increase of tour eents an hour. The strike vote will require about 30 days. in another action. AFL union leaders threatened a strike over the War Labor Board decision award ing live cents an hour wage increase to 3,500 Los Angeles railway and motor coach employe*. They asked ten cents. A petition lor a strike vote among the employees will lie filed with the National Labor IJc lalions Board, the AFL said.
