J wedge punctured the Nazi plan to make a last ditch defense on the Kholm anchored line and said the advancing Red Army found evi- | dence in town after town that the Germans had stocked up for a winter stand. Warehouses packed with food were captured and at Andreapol alone the Russians seized large stores of French wine, more than 1,000 barrels of gasoline, 10,000 cans of Norwegian food and 150 freight cars loaded with war supplies, Iz- vestia asserted. In a report from the Kholm front, Pravda said the offensive began last December 10, when the Red Army took the initiative from the German units bogged down in the frozen swamps east of the Valdai Hills. That first day, Pravda said, the Russians pushed ahead 12 miles and drove the Germans from the town of Peno in the Valdai headwaters of the Volga. i Russians Storm Andreapol.

By late afternoon of the following day, Prav- | | da said, the eniire town had been cleared of Germans, Meanwhile, flanking columns had moved around the city blocking all roads of retreat, cutting railroads | and capturing large German forces and vast quantities of supplies. From there, the next Russian thrust carried the Red Army across the southern fringe of the Valdai hills toward the 1.000-vear-old town of Toropets, nearly 50 miles to the southwest.

Congressmen are considering a special tax on industry to drain off most war production profits. Senator George, Democrat, of Georgla, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, today advocated | a “super” levy on war profits, over and above any taxes that now are imposed or might be voted on ex- cess profits in general. Senator Taft, Republican, of | Ohio, another member of the com- mittee, has suggested a sepacate tax on the earnings from Govern- ment contracts instead of various proposals that have been made in Congress recently for statutory iimi- tation of such profits. | “I think such a tax would work much better than a profit limitation | such as Congress formerly imposed | | | reporters. “There have been com- | | plaints that such limitations slowed | up production.
