Allied air forces hammered enemy troops on the penin sula "without respite," the communique said, did "great damage" to shipping around the peninsula and assaulted Pantelleria Island the second time in two days.

While American, British and French forces ripped up the final pockets of resistance in Northern funlsia and converged in plunging drives on Cap Bon to break up any enemy plans for a drawn-out last stann on that peninsula, light naval forces roved along the coast with order to sink, burn aud destroy every enemy ship and cut off a retreat by sea. No organized attempt at a evacuation of the Dunkerque type had yet been detected, an official Allied announcement said last night, and the German air force apparently had quit the fight. On the other hand American Flying Fortresses, medium bomb- era and fighters 4U0 of them made the greatest aerial onslaught of the Mediterranean war on Palermo, the most important en emy base in Sicily, wrapping that port a pall of smoke which de- fled reconnaissance photographers for, hours. The raid, which appeared to be part of the softening up process for invasion, rather than to knock out a supply port or destroy an evacuation fleet, was supplemented by another heavy American attack with four-engined planes on Mes sina, Sicily, in which ferry slips, ferries, a locomotive roundhouse and other harbor targets were smashed. These blows followed a 100-planc raid on Saturday against the little Italian fortress island of Pantelleria, 40 miles off Tunisia, where bombs were rolled into the entrances of underground hangars.

Seven ships were attacked ii forays in the Aegean. The fever of expectation of in vasion that swept the Axis was heightened by two Allied spokes men yesterday. Gen. Henri Giraud commander in North Africa, noting the third anniversary of the German invasion of France and the low countries ou May 10 ,1040. declared "tomorrow the European fortress will be attacked." but ureed the latest of American equipment to a new French army.

decIared1yu, BUSIEST TIME Trade Pact, Anti-Strike Bill, Tax Problem Vexations WASHINGTON, May 10 (API The New Deal's reciprocal trade agreement program, long the tar- up for a party-line battle on Cap- Congressional approval. The present reciprocal trade act. originally enacted In 1934. expires next June 12. Republicans, contending the act deprives Songrcss of its constitutional tariff and treat-making powers by delegating such authority to the President, have proposed amendments which would give Congress the right to pass upon any trade pact within 90 days of its submission.

This Congressional veto proposal has boon strenuously opposed by the administration. Democratic leaders in Congres have maintained that it would constitute a "kiss of death" for the entire reciprocity program. The Democrats also have eon-tended that the trade pacts were essential not only to build world commerce but also to guarantee peace. In this they are seconding Secretary of Slate Hull, who told the House Ways and Means Committee recently that the nation must show now its "sincerity oi purpose" and willingness to bear its share of responsibility in world affairs by extending the authority to negotiate the pacts. Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles said (wo days ago that repudiation of the reciprocal trade act "either outright or by crippling amendments" would be a heavy blow at hopes for future peace.

These arguments have been challenged by Republicans. The 10 Republican members of the Ways and Means Coinmi ttee issued a statement saying that it was "not only unfortunate, but imprudent and presumptious' for Hull to say that the question of extension of the act by Congress was a test of American postwar foreign policy. From House members considered friendly to organized labor came reports of a move to scuttle the Cunnatiy anti-strike, plant seizure measure. These lawmakers were mapping a campaign to weigh the bill down with drastic amendments. The measure was approved by the Senate last week.

It was reerred in the House to the military committee, where some reports said consideration being accorded proposals that strikers be given the choice of joining the armed forces or returning to their jobs. On the Senate side of the Capitol, a coalition of Democrats and Republicans put the finishing touch ou a new version of the modified Ruml skip -a-y ear income tax plan. The Senate Finance Coinmiflee, which approved the proposed legis lation over administration objections by 13 to 7 vote Saturday, planned to send the measure to the Senate floor tomorrow. Adherents of the plan, rejected by the House, were confident the Senate will override the administration's apposition. Under the proposal.

1942 income tax obligations would be wiped out in the change-over to a pay-as-you-go basis. Persons with "windfall'' increases in income would not escape liability, however. The Office of Price Administra tion, continuing its efforts to re duce living costs, slashed the pro lit margins on grocery store sales uf cabbage, onions and some poui try. Price of salt codfish also were cut. The reductions were the lat est step in a program, featuring government food subsidies, under which a 10 per cent cut in the cost of meat, coffee and butter will be come effective June 1.
