WABI-IINGQON, Aug. S-(AHA Congressional tax experts proposed 818111. broad meth today for tightening United States revenue laws and 111-eventing "tax avoid- once".

In a report to the Senate and House of Representatives, the joint committee on tax evasion and av- oidance said the overhauling is. necessary “to protect the revcnue,1 and in order that. all may bear their fair share of the tax our- den.”

The committee reported after completing lengthy hearings on tax evasion during which personal holding companies established in Canada and the West. Indies by Americans had figured in the evi-

Aug. 5—-(CP-Hava.s) -Governmcnt fortification crews ‘today dug trenches and reinforced walls in the Carabancitel sector south of Madrid in preparation for a. new government offensive to dislodge Insurgents entrenched in Carabanchel and the Case. dc Campo across the Manzanares river on Madrid's outskirts.

The new operations will be ex- tensive in scope, it was pressaged by reorganization of shock troops who will lead an attack to dis- lodge the Insurgents from houses they occupy in Carabanchel.

‘Dynamiteros’ are expected to play a preponderant role in the impending offensive. Suppers are at work undermining the Insur- gent-hefd military hospital at Carabanchel, which consists of 14 pavilions.

Bursts of rifle-fire interspersed with exploding handgrenades and mortar shells with‘n Insurgent e11- tmnclunents in University City and across the Frenchman's Bridge in the Cnsa de Campo were heard here today‘. Insurgent desorters claimed Franco's troops in this quarter of Madrid's suburbs were ready to revolt.
