severe blows against transports
held in readiness for the flight o£
Soviet troops in the coastal areas
off Odessa and Nikolev," it went
on.
''Two transports totaling 14,000
tens were destroyed and five ad-

III SOCIAL
SECURITY TAX
Only very minor dif
distinguish house and senate grafts
of the bill- The main provisions
are the same. Both provide
additional 18 months of service
for selectees, national guardsmen,
reservists and enlisted regulars.
Both likewise would grant a $10
a month pay boost to all after
their first year of service.
The procedure would be to
send the bill to a Joint conference
committee of the two chambers to
compromise the differences. How-
ever, that 'would give the house
another chance to vote on the
hill when the compromise ver-
sion came up for approval — and

Freshmen, at Texas A. and M.
College, are known as "fish",
which Voiced a determination to
achieve "the final destruction of
the Nazi tyranny,"
A Whitfc House announcement
embodying the eight - point joint
declaration, said the two national
leaders, with their high ranking
mililiu'SM-Kleftains, examined ''the
whole program for supply of mu-
nitions of war" for "those coun-
tries actively ongaged in resisting
aggression." ' **' j
These covcrcd the supply prob-
lems of the Soviet Union. Lord
Beaverbrook, British minister ot'
supply, is coming to Washington
to discuss further details-
In several conferences, the an-
nouncement said, they "consider-
ed the dangers to world civiliza-
tion arising from iho policies of"
military domination by conquest
upon which the Hitlerite govern-
ment of Germany and other gov-
ernments associated therewith
have embarked.w
The statement said they "made
clear the steps which their coun
tries are respectively taking for
their safety in the race of these
dangers.
The joint declaration, consti-
tuting tho most concerto war aims
yet disclosed on the British side,
set out "certain common prin-
ciples in the national policies pf
their respective countries on
which they base their hopes for a
better world." i
The president and prime min-
ister declared their belief after
their historic meeting at sea, that
after "the final destruction of the
Nazi tyranny" the disarmament|„ utt,tnA
of aggressor nations ''is essential" r.,nr„.
pending the establishment of "aI. mt r„v„ . .
wider and permanent system of
general security." ,
The eight points on which the
president and Mr. Churchill a-
greed to "base their hopes for a
better future for the world" were:
"First, their countries seek no
aggrandizement, territorial or
other;
"Second, they desire to see no
territorial changes that do not
accord with the freely expressed
wishes of the peoples concerned:
"Third, they respect, the right
of all peoples to choose the form
of government under which they
will live; and they wish to see
soverign rights and self govern-
ment restored to those who have
been forcibly deprived of them:
"Fouth, they will endeavor, with
due respect for their existing ob-
ligations, to further the enjoy-
ment by all states, great or small,
victor or vanquished, of access, on
equal terms, to the trade and to
the raw materials of the world
which are needed for their eco-
nomic prosperity; /
"Fifth, they desire to bring a-
bout the fullest collaboration be-1
tween all nations in the economic |
field with the object of securing, j
for ail, improved labor standards,
economic advancement and social
security; V '.rJ. H 1
