in an International broadcast which was delayed for one hour and a half after, the official Allied announcement, acknowledged the Allied iijvaaion of Italy, but In- ^sisted.the attack was not a sur- ''prLse.

“6.

It was after the contempt ruling that General RichardsOn i.ssu d his order sus­pending civil court action in the case.

Although the War department publicly has supported Richard­

Accordingly, Speaker said, con- ver.satlons among the War, Interi­or and Justice departments on the one hand and with territorial of­ficials in Hawaii on the other have resulted in the decision that the Issue is a constitutional one that should be decided by the civil courts.

Evidently a home-grown pine­apple la aa muchl^of a .rarity in California as It would be here, for the plant has been on exhibition In one of the markets. It is about three feet tall above, the tin pa I in. which it 'is planted,-has oorn- stalk-llke leaves, and the'pineapple itself is crowned with the usual rigid tuft of small leaves with which we are all familiar. Accord­ing to the printed description, the flowrets of a pineapple plant rl.se from Its center In a large conical spike and finally ripen Into the solid, juicy mass which constitutes the fruit.

Clerks at the store In which Mr.

•Parks' home grown pineapple was exhibited, >aid every morning the fragrance of the fruit drowned out every^lplng else.

The pineapple Is a perennial ptaht, lastlng./rom eight to lO years. The first known record of the fruit was in 1535, and more than fiO varieties have been pro­duced since then. They seem to thrive best in the Hawaiian fs- land.s. the West Indies and the Azores, and if the points On the c.mhed pineapple rise much hi-h- er.

cials here were unaware of the Allies' timetable calling for thedrive across the Sicilian straits to Italy proper. But none either would say they knew about It, or express any Comment.

The situation today in W’ashing- ton is this: « ®

Let's wait until the chief the word.

The presence of Prime Minister Churchill at the White House was double reason for the official silence. The stress at the moment is on the war In the Paclflc, with the inipllcatlon that immediate plans tar Europe already ifave b?en perfected.

White House atUches were aware that the historic Jump from SiClIy to Italy had been taken, even before, the news was flashed, but they declined to become excit­ed or to offer additional details.

I’Unned From J%'ay Bock Mr. Roosevelt already had can­

celled hU usual Friday morning press conference. There was good reason to believe that the cancella­tion had nothing to do with the Italian invasion. Some observers felt that Mr. Roosevelt and Bri­tain's prime minister wanted even that time to complete their mo­mentous talks. In other words, this fresh assault on the Axis was planned from way bock.

U. S. leaders may have been so espetflally silent because the leap into Italy was primarily a British affair, engineered by the fabled Eighth Army of Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery. Whether Mr. Churchill would have, anything to say about it later in the day was problematical.

If Mr. Churchill has anything to say, It would be a good opportuni­ty for him to remind the Axis that he promised several months ago portentous action before the leaves of autumn fall.

Howitze^ Halt tion o f - Japs on New Georgia; C o m m a n d Post Ringed by Fire.

, By Leif Erickson 'Honolulu, Sept. 3—(/P)— The

performance of U. S. Army held artillery was one of the moat de­cisive factors in American con­quest of New Georgia and its Murida airfield.

Generals, correspondents, and infantry doughboys are unanimous on that. J apanese prisoners give the same verdict. , /

Maj. George P. Guthrie, 38, Columbus, Ohio, and Vlaj. Robert W. Kenny. 41. providence, R. I-. were two kgy" men behind those field howitzers—guns that actual­ly were^ssed by Infantry officers and-Inen in gratefulness for sav­ing their lives.

As an Ohio State sophomore of 19 Guthrie ran the 120-yard high hurdles in the 1924 Paris Oylm- plc games. He was buying high­way materials and equipment in the Ohio state government s pur­chasing department when called to active duty with his National Guard outfit in 1941.

of . the general -was hit and killed. Pete was behind the general. A

* "Our artillery accompUshed two I important.things.” explained Ma- ' jor Guthrie. .

“First, we messed up complete­ly the Japs’ tactic of night infil­tration and harrassing attack In

That ■was the kindthe jungle.of thing they 8®* ^Guadalcanal and tough there.

"Our night artillery fire just pinned ’em to the Srpund. n e y gave up t ^ n g that kind of stuff * “Second, our shells blasted open the' Jurigle, sweepi^ away trees, vines aniTfoUage. Then our infan­try could see where the Japs were. Once our boys could see what they ■were fighting, the job becamesimple.” _

A t the start of the Munda offen­sive, the Japanese did try their night infiltrations to sandpaper the nerves of front line soldiers with yells, derisive shouts in English, and blaaU of close-in gunfire.

In one such attack, they would have succeeded In surrounding and wining out the 43rd Division com­mand post if a recklessly close cov­ering barrage of howitzer fire had not stopped them. , ,

Brig- Gen. Harold Barker, of Providence, R- I., division artillery commander, was in the command post on which the enemy pressed soon after dusk.

The superior enemy force would have overpowered the C. P. defend- *pi and most of the division staff if General Barker hadn't called his howitzers far back on Baraulu is­land into action.

Judging hia ranges entirely by ■ound. General Barker gradually closed down the first gun until he could hear shell fragmenU ripping through the trees.

Protctetlve Barrage of ShellB Finally he gave the word to the

lire Erector center across Rovtana lagoon, in which Major Guthrie was stationed, to open up with three more howitzere. For nearly *13 hours until dawn, the Baraulu Island battery ringed the C. P. trith a protective barrage of ahells, dropping little more than 50 yards outside the C. P. Perimeter.

It waa the men from this post, Guthrie said, who came opt to the howitzer ' battery' next day and, ‘ ‘ y Giod, actually kissed the guns.' "That was something to see.

Those men told us and they meant |- it, 'You saved our lives’ !”

Throughout the New Georgia,, campaign, General Barker per-'* aonUly did much of the scouting and tiug4t-fihfifiTg from the front lines. Often he went out with, scouting parties into the jupgie no man’s land, On at least one occasion he was : lucky 'to come

soldier behind Pete got It. The general and Pete got back alone. They were really lucky.”

Artillerymen observers flying over Munda in planes guided the fire of field guns effectively.

"Those boys would get tired of not being ab>e to see anything.” Guthrie reported. “So they’d come right down over the trees to get the Japs to open up on them. They did that a couple of times too of­ten. They were shot down.”

'liescued Both Tlmea One Aerial Observer.'Lieut. W.

B. Craig, was shot down twice, but was rescued both times by Pluto, a crash rescue boat.

I heard him on the radio say­ing, ‘This plane's on fire.’ . That was all. They headed out for wa­ter and we later heard they were picked up all right,” Guthrie said.

"One of these observers spotted our fire one-day and had us hitting right on a Jap strong point. He could see Japs running out from there and he gave us a quick range change.

‘We fired his new range and then he told us, ‘Good work. You hit right in those Japs. I saw arms and legs flying.’

" I passed the word on to the men working pur guns. Were they proud! You could have heard their cheers all over New Georgia," Guthrie declared.

Torrlngton; Bept. 3.—(J»)—Unit­ed States Senator Harold H. Bur­ton of Ohio, speaking at a lunch­eon here this noon under the aupices of the Torrington Chamr her of Commerce, urged support by the public of the Ball-Burton- Hatch-Hlll bill now pending in Congress providing for post-war collaboration among the U-nited Nations. It is not sufficient . that the .United Nations win the war, said the Senator.

Troops Liberate 7f000 Chinese

Chungking, Sept. 3— — The high command told in a communi­que today how Chinese troops in southwestern Shansi province lib-

ailowed late shifts a chance to get ' away first. Buses were filled to capacity this morning and some

; were going through here in three . sections. Passenger trains on the Hew Haven also reported early heavy travel with indications that It will be "heavier tomorrow. Most of "the people were making trips to seashore and mountain resorts.

Few, if any. had left by private automobile today but many are pUmning to take at least one brief visit to friends or relatives over the long week-end. Most of the local gasoline dealers say that they have a limited quantity of gasoline. None would predict how they will be able to stand any ex­cessive drain on their present sup­ply., Thus far, the majority of those leaving Manchester have used public transportation methods rather than private cars.

rounded up by the Japanese with the intention of forcing them to dig trenches.

After learning of the plan, the communique said, the Chinese pre­pared an ambush along a highway and detailed troops to mix with the labor gang. When the Chinese at­tacked Japanese troops marching the laborefy along the highway, the soldiers disguised as workers shouted: “Here come Chinesetroops; let's run fast.”

The laborers scattered as the Chinese closed in, killing many of the Japanese, routing the others and capturing a quantity of am­munition, .the high comrhand said.

The communique also disclosed that brisk fighting had broken out in western Yunnan province when the Chinese intercepted a Japanese advance toward Shenhukwan.

In northern Kiaiigsi province, the bulletin said, Ch>.tese forces at­tacked Nuchi and Meichiashan,

i both northeast of 'Wunlng on the Ria.o river, "with success,'’ while in Chekiang province the Chinese re­pulsed a Japanese advance on Tangshi, north of Hangchow.

Local paper mills in Manchester are faced with a aerious shortage o f waste paper, according to a canvass made here today. The situation is so acute that a com­mittee has ^een formed to collect and salvage any and all waste paper in ' town.

Up to within a few weeks ago, the waste paper situation was not critical. In fact,'none of the local dealers would take any away, as there was so much at the mills that there was no more storage space. Unless the situation can be remedied, the. mills will be forced to shut down.

Ball, ae' a member of the Tru­man Senate committee investigat­ing the war effort, assisted in the examination o f Henry J, Kaiser, d'nd Andreiv J. Higgins when the committee called on them last March .for hints on how' their shipyards had been able to estab­lish outstanding production rec­ords.

T h e . Germans meanwhile fell back before other Soviet drives that cut the main Nazi, rail link betiveen the central and southern B«.ctora 150 miles from Kiev and crashed into, the Smolensk defense perimeter for a gain of six miles.

Threatens Entire Nazi LinoFive Red,Armies were engaged

in the gigantic -Soviet offensive, which threatened the entire Ger­man battle line on the egstehi front.

The speed of ' the Russian ad­vance. which already has ci;acke4 the enemy’s 1041 .invasion lines, in­dicated that the Germans were re­treating along the whole southern front in an apparent attempt to get behind their Dnieper river de­fense system. Russian generals were giving them no rest, throw­ing immense forces of men and mo­torized equipment into the offen­sive. \

Capture Of the Ukraine strong­hold of Sunny, 90 miles northwest of Kharkov by Gen.

Nearly 10,000 German dead were counted in yealgrday's fighting as the Soviet troops carried their advance'" through .250 villages and towns, many of them o f strategic importance, for a two-day bag o f nearly 550 enemy-held localities.

Stalin’s 1943 offehijilve to date has brought the Red Armies more than half-way along their come­back trail from Stalingrad to the Polish border.

Eighth Army Given Praise During April

"I doubt,” he said, “ if our em­pire has ever possessed such a fighting machine as the Eighth Army; you have made its name a household ^orld all. over the world.”

The units of an Army change from campaign to campaign; the Eighth as it drove into Sicily nearly two months ago d iffers slightly in makeup from the force which stopped Rommel at El Ala- mein and then chased his Africa Corps halfway across Africa to its doom in Tunisia;

Most Notable AdditionThe most notable addition for

Sicily was the Canadian First-di­vision, and the Canadians are in there again. In Africa and Sicily the Eighth 'has included famous divisions from Scotland and the north of England, veteran troops from New Zealand, fierce fighting men recruited in India, nptably the Gurkhas from Nepal.• Many of these units ■ doubtless

are fighting today on the Italian toe but which will not be diselosed until operations are .well under' way. ' ^

The Eighth Army has varied from four to >seven or eight divi­sions, from 80,000 to 160,000 men, cpuntlngo supporting and supply uhlts.

When he halts his c»r to chat with them at gunposta or In their dug-outs:

Montgonveri^ took over the Eighth Army on Aug. 18, 1942, He had been In Egypt barely three weeks when he stopped Rommel’s spectacular advance toward Alex­andria. The army soon found out that he had no Intention of being a desk commknder. When­ever possible he was out with his men in. the field.

Last June evgn before the Bat­tle of Sicily, speculation in Lon­don newspapers picked Montgom­ery *nd ttig Eighth Army qs the spearhead of any Allied invasion o f Europe by way of the Mediter­ranean. ^

Today that speculatldn came true.

But. along the Af.rican coast and Sicily it is known that-.he has at his disposal at least'four other Armies, including the 'American Seventh commanded by LieuL»Gen. George S,. Patton, Jr., whjeh made a record in the conquest of Slciljit that caused military men to rank it alongside the Eighth as one“of the world’s elite fighting forces.

Eisenhower’s other Armies are the British First, under Gen. Sir K. A. N! Anderson, the American Fifth under Lieut. G*"- Mark W. Clark and the newly formed and Armed French forces led by Gen. Henri Giraud.

In addition the Allies have in -tlje eastern Mediterranean area the British Ninth ■ and Tenth Armies commanded by Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilspn. The six Armies which back the Eighth probably total between 750,000 and a million men^'^^-

Other Thrusts Possibly DueThis' array of strength, suggests

strisogly that.^ Eisenhower has launched the Eighth on only the first of mapy thrusts into the con­tinent or the Inlands that fringe it, with others possibly due to come soon and in rapid Succession.

In addition to ■ these ground forces the Allies , are 'Uuowing against the southern bulwarks of the European fortress tremenrfous concentrations of Naval and air •power, the former commanded- by Admiral Sir Andrew Browne Cun­ningham, the latter by Air Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder. AmerTcans make up slzaable. portions of both the Naval and Air Forces.

The immediate commander in Italy,- Montgomery, perhaps is the most picturesque general produced by World War Two. ' ^

"There is only one standard of fitness— the staiidara of total war,”' Montgomery said on one occasion, and the troops under his command have always been trained in as much of an atmos­phere of total war as he could devises. Th^ results have justi­fied bis stern discipline.

were the targets, and big bomb loads were believed, to have brok­en the rqll lines .at Bolzano 40 miles h«Inw Brenner pass,-', and Tr^ntd, 20 miles farther^south. Eridges at both points were fvrecked.

Blasts Rip Freight Ya'rdsGreat fires and explosions rip­

ped the freight yards at Bologna, 170; miles below trffe pass, .an Im­portant rail and highway junction near the center of the northern i neck of the Italian peninsula.

American' medium bombers meanwhile hachmered freight yards at Caiicello northeast of Naples.

German fighters . threw up strong resistance, and 34 enemy planes were .destroyed during all the w’idespread operations, against loss of 15 Allied aircraft."-

Only one of the unescorted -For­tresses was missing in the 1,500- mile roundtrip attack, called by headquarters today, "perhaps the best ' day the Fortressea from North Africa ever, had.”One of Most SpectacuUr Raids ,

It wa's one of the war’s most spectacular raids, staged only a few hmn‘8 before Allied troops be­gan pouring into southern Italy.

At CqnceUp, "lines radiating from the yaixls were blocked," by the attack of Mitchell bombers. They bagged one ^isfny fighter, and their Lightning escorts got 22 more. .

One formation blew up an aqa- tnunitjon dump.

---------- .The noise that was heard Ini

the South End at 10 o ’clock- thial morning waa not caused by.'anti-[ aircraft guns, aa many thought, I but resulted from the blasting o fl two-large stumps on land former-1 ly owned by the James W. Cheney I estate. The stumps were near the I Forest "street side of the site. I There has been trouble In blastingL Ih the past because of the sandyil nature of the soil and thla mom-P ing alter the holes had been drill­ed, .water was turned into them to j)Bck the dynamite. I

Before the blasts were set off I all o f the men employed on the I work near Forest street, Were! sent away and guards v^ere sta-| tloned on Forest street from Main street to a point aa far west aa the entrance to the John Cheney property. When the blasta were set off tke dirt waa thrown' into the air and a few seconds lu - er small stones started to fall.

After the stumps had been loos­ened up by the blast they were pushed a l?ay py a bulldozer and later picked up by the 25-ton crane and carted away. .

In her holds the exchange ship, which made a similar voyage un­der safe conduct guarantees last year, carried 140,000 special food packages supplied by the United States government lii a relief car­go valued by the Bed (Tross at $1,- 500,000. Also aboard were .medl-

on your glasses to look at them be­cause—

The War Manpower commission hss Just uncorked figures which need explaining. Take a look:

Between now and this time next summer 1,100,000 more women must go into jobs, including the armed services and non-farm jobs.

WMC says 300,000 women are in the arjned forces now. The number must climb to 300,000 by next sum­mer, an increase of 200,000.

Must llMnain SteadyThere are 14,800,000 now in non-

farm jobs, must rise to 15,700,000 by next summer, an increase of 900,000. Actually that increase must be reached by January, must remain ateady right through next summer.

Where will they come from ? '1. Of the 600,000 women now

unemployed, WMC figures 200,000 will get jobs, leaving an “ irreduci­ble” minimum of 400,000 unemploy­ed who are women shifting jobs, quitting jobs, looking for jobs, find­ing them, being replaced in the un­employed ranks by women quitting jobs, looking for jobs.

2. Some students may not return to school this fall and some wo­men working on farms—the kind called seasonal workers— may de­cide to go into war industries at harvest’s ertd. But WMC places no estimate on the number o f such females who may relieve the wo­manpower shortage.

Most Available Pool3. Instead, it points to what it

calls its most available, woman- power pool—rion-farm wives be­tween the ages o f 20 and''55 with­out children under 16.

Only last April, WMC says, there were 5,600,000 such women “ which on a national basis appears to constitute an adequate reserve of potential women workers.’’

Note that WMC " . . . . o n a na­tional basis."

S’lpposc 2,'i.OOO such women lived in New York where there might be no jobs for them. Suppose at the same time there were 25.000 job openings in 'Kansas City,

If those New York women had family obligations there they couldn't go to Kansas (fity to ease the shortage.

Mu.st Be Handled LocallySo much of the problem—In

spite o f the national figures given by WMC—must be handled locally.

daughters, no longer need help with crops but go Indoors to horisework or studies.

So forget the farm side of the arithmetic in these calculations except that undoubtedly next spring will come a drive .to pep up farm womenfolk to turn .out in numbers aa great aa this year.

Emphasia on Non-Farm JolmSo the emphasis is on the non­

farm jobs. TTie greatest emphasis is on jobs In munitions plants which includes all mCtai-uslng in­dustries. metal mining, selected chemicals and rubber industries.

While , the search goes on for those 200,000 additional women for the armed servicea, and the 900,(j00 for non-farm jobs, WMC says this must happen;

While only a total o f 900,000 women are needed for non-farm jobs in the next year, the number of women employed in munitions plants must Increase from 2,300,- 000 now to 3,600,000 next suih- mer, a rise o f 1,3()0,()Q0."

That Increase will have to be achieved through aome of those incoming 900,000 new worker! and a shifting of those now em­ployed fronf jobs imrelated to the war or jobs that dry up and dis appear.

We’re In ItalyHour by hour, news of the cam­

paign fo^ Italy will be expanding At this-'writing, we know only tbat/Ibe historic British Eighth.

and Canadian units have the assault directly across the

'strait at Alesslna, that they have obviously landed, and. arb engaged in heavy fighting. There has as jret come .no word that their posi­tion ia secure. But that, on the past record of Allied Mediterra­nean campaigning, is to be ex­pected.

Zt ii to be expected, too, that thia direct assault acupga the two mile water gap. from Sicily has Already been or soon will be ac­companied Ipr other - landings in other sectors. For this is official­ly described as "full scale” Inva- Mon, and there seems little doubt that it wlU bring into play the greatest demonstration of Allied force yet given in the Mediterra-

-jiean theater.Any forecasting of the difficul­

ty Of the campaign in Italy de­pends upon what has ao far seemed to be an unknown miliary quantity—the strength and dis­position of the Oerman troops In Italy. No one seems to have any 'good idea of hew mahy there are. We have seen nothing but guess­es as to whethef any of these Qennan troops were to be found in southern Italy, Until today’s news may revsal othsrwlse, thslr

. only ewtata loeatioa was la Bortbeni Italy, which we are cer­tain they intend to defend.

As io t the Italian troops. Allied propsganda broadcasts accom­panying the Invasion ask the Ital­ian people to regard our troops as liberators coming in the spirit and purposes of a Garibaldi. Previous indications have been that we are more likely to be received in that way than with any die-hard re­sistance. Yet, even with the Ital-' Ians in such a mood, the capacity of the Germans to' make our prog­ress northward through Italy is conceded, and the Italian cam­paign'is estimated as the tough- eet offensive battle the Allies have yet undertaken, and from no Aource is there any careless prom­ise that it will be over swiftly or Ohsaply,

“Feeding The World”HaWng deprived the poor Hot­

tentot ^ x th a t famous quart of milk, our Xmerlcan realists are now on broadeK^rounds. At the moment they afer proclaiming, with an air of sensational diseov- ery. that "America,;,canV(eed the world.” Just as the earli^xHot- tentot and his free quart of W^k made us feel Jealous, so the' clari^ on cry that “ America can’t feed the world" ■ is supposed to make our stomachs fear that somebody is going to feed the world at our expense. - ..... -

What is actually in prospect, is, of course, full use for all the food America can produce, perhaps for a number of years. It is in pros­pect- that some emergency de­mands for this food may be so Important as to require restric­tion of the American diet.

We had no choice, obviously, about seeing that North Africa had food after we had conquered it. We can’t feed the world, but we had to feed North Africa at that moment, or face famine and anarchy behind our own lines as they pressed forward toward Eu­rope. Food in this instance .- was a weapon just as much as were our guns pointed toward Sicily. It will be a weapon at other stages in this war, and - there may be many occaslona where both ■ the military advisability and the hu­manity of feeding some foreign pol^ulatlon will be of far greater importance than keeping the American diet at home perfectly normal..

Most Americans know . this and accept It, and those who are con­verting thia compliance with mili­tary and humane necessities into some grandloss scbsme of playing culinary Sania Claua to the world art, wa are afraid, exaggerating tha east for purposes of their own.

Perhape, in this present alarm, there can be discerned the fine familiar band of the farm bloc. One good way to find out might be to have the government say it could find all the Argentine grain and beef it will need for distribu­tion In Europe, and therefore wouldn’t need any eurplus supply from American farmers after all. If, as we suspect, the howl fol­lowing euoh an announcement would make the preeent alarm seem tame in comparison, it would be a fair Inference that the present fear is not that Ameri­cans, will go without food, but that some one will miss getting the 'maximum price tor the food that is going to be needed. In that pace the full reading of the slogan of the moment would be "America can’t feed the world unless the

Challenging The Japi FleetTha obvious difference between

: Wadaasday’s raid on Marcus IS- • .laad, "only 1,200-miles from Ja-,J pan" and-our previous raid on the is paid more. ’1 aame spot, on Maxch 4th, 1942,1 only three months after the open-n J tag of our war with Japan, is that j^this £im'e we would have appar-

ontly i^^elcomed opposition: and ih- ^ terference, while, on the previous <' yaici. It was merely a bold sneak 1* operation on our part. ■ ' ,

Marcus Island* had iitUC' on >t' when we raided it in 1042. There Is no reason to believe it had ac­quired any really vital installa­tions' sirlce .then. Bombing Mar- cu« Island, in other words,'isn't in itself any way to shorten the war.

But If the Japanese' fleet could '' be persuaded to come out and ac­cept the challenge which the ob­vious presence of our task force in the ^ a offers, we might' have a real opportunity to shorteh the war. In toe 1042 operation,, we Mnt our'planes to Marcus from ^ luTieni which stayed 200 miles cut a t sea- In this prsssi\t oper- attan, our fleet moved in to actual

On Calling Pieople LiarsWe have .reasons for hoping

that certain high example 4et this week w'lll hot ga^n too wide a fol­lowing among American officials or private citizens either. Obvi­ously. the President of the-'United States, calling .'a certain col- umftist a "liar” and 'a ’’chronic” one too, tbought lie had come to the point W'here. nothing else 'in th^ Way of rebuke and comment would do. Yet It was surprising,' even to those who may have- agreed with the President thor­oughly, to^ffnd toat toe President of these United States had to con­descend tO' .accusations typical of q bar-Toora brawl in order tp -em­phasize hU point to -his own &tia- facUon, with, of course, one bar­room analogy missing in that the accused, would not likely to retort in kind to his own President. At siiy rsts, ws’U bst tost toe of­fending columnist could have been chastened, and disrcocn of, and even wrecked in career, had toe presidential ijignity been kept. And we suspect th a t said dignity not having been kept, no great injury has been done said col­umnist It lieing, if anything, an additional fsatoer to his cap for having mads a President lose his temper.

But President or no t .we Should hesitate before calling a n y -^ e a liar. In toe first place, although a person may-seem a liar to vou.

Urges Dimouta

Rules Cliair^eMcCarth^Suggeats Re

ApmuatMl in Five In- id Cities of State.

Hartford. Sept. 3—(Jb—John T. McCarthy, state motor vehicles oommiasloner, auggested in a let­ter to War Administrator Harold F. Woodcock made pviblic today toat a re-appraiMi be made of the present dimout regulations In Jive inland Connecticut cities to deter­mine whether toe restrictions should be "ameliorated if not ellm- inated.” ,

The Commissioner expressed the belief tost tha "present seems an opportune time for your office to request proper authorities to con­duct logical re-appraisals” In Hart­ford. Waterbury. New Britain, Bristol and Meriden.

In his letter, McCarthy asld;> "I rile this reeommendstlon with you as a stata official charged by statuta with toe duty of asshtlng to develop all possible safety on street and highway for all types Of trsme.

Aid Growth of CrinM"In addition to toe increased

hasards developed for trkfflc move­ment of all types on streets of in­land cities named I further Invite your attention to toe fact that con tinued unnecessary restrictions of

, proper street Ughting contribute to growth of crime.

"If re-examlnatlon of toe sliua. tion brings toe conclusion that it is essential to toe succesaful de- fensa ot thia country that current rigid dimojit restrictions should be continued in Hartford, Waterbury, New Britain, Bristol and Meriden, then, of course, civilian safety muat corns secondary to defense needs.”

Supplementing his letter to toe war adminiatrator, McCarthy also

has written the chief executive# oMbe five cities affected, auggest- in.j tl\at the combined Influences of their offices be united in sup­port of his recommendation, which he said was based on conclusions developed in exhaustive studies of traffic accident Incidence by the Conne9tlcut Dimout Study committee of the National Safety Council,

Not Guide to Enemy Filers "According to information filed

with my office. by this Dimout Study committee," said McCarthy, ‘officers of the Air Corps, tos

War department general stqg and the Corps of Engineers agres with lllu mi nation experts that the bea­con effect pf skyglow from such areka has nb practical significance as s guide to enemy aviators. And wa are givan to understand thart tbs Inland area dimout la not connected with any skyglow menace to maritime traffic—toat it has been ordered as a phase of defense against proijiole serial attack. ^

"Assuming tola to be true ia It not reasonable to expect that, from time to,, time, re-adjustmenta In such meaauree will be made— up or down—as toe progress of the war warrants?

"Personally,” added toe com. mlssioncr, "1 do not pretend to be an illumination expert and ao am not qualified to pass on technical phases of toe question. But, believe it.* to be high time for civilian safety to receive conald' e ration. There can be no question but what the greatly reduced illumination levels in tos five cities named has developed extra civilian hazards, not only as re gards traffic movement, but qlso public .safety as regards freedom from attacks by touj* hood lums.”

Commissioner McCarthy said that he had sent copies ot toe dim- out accident surveys to the may­ors of the five cities with toe sug­gestion tost they connsult with their police . chiefs to determine effects of reduced street lighting on general public safety.

London Given Strong Lfft By Invasion

I JOoBtiiHHd from^Pace One)

'nial M l Jnvialbli of weotem Europe Mould not be attempted until there MO(« aound mlUUry grounds for •onfidence In success.

ChurchOI also .. Indicated the •am—* determination that an In-

- Taalon would not end In tragic fail­ure Hke the attempted rescues of Norway and Greece early ip the war.

Free for Other JobsThe . drive across the Strait of

Messina fell into the familiar pat­tern o< the slow-but-sure Allied of­fensive In the Mediterranean, but It was quickly noted that Ameri­can and French ground forces and nany British divisions were not Involved at this stage, leaving them free for other jobs—jobs that iMght send them ashore any^vhere from southern France, to the Balkans.

There is scant feeling here that the Italian peninsula might fall by default—even If peace were made with Rome. It Is believed the Germans are prepared to make determined effort to keep the Invaders away from air and land bases in northern Italy long as possible.

The German strength—proba­bly around 13 divisions—is report- '*d largely north of Rome, but about half of the strength of the three Nazi divisions which fought In Sicily escaped to the mainland

, to join two or three others then stationed south of Naples.'FlOBty to Fight Delaying Action

It is not known here how much . o f this force was moved north,

buh-lt is believed certain the Ger- m aw left plenty o* men behind to make extensive demolitions and fight a delaying action of the type which made the last stage of the

' Sicilian conquest a slow business.Tbe quality of the Italian re-

jfatance la more of a -question aaark, but many Italian troops ontainly are made of sterner stuff than the Sicilian coastal divisions and may fight well, at least for a While.

Although the first landings put the British and Canadians on the longest path to Rome—and Ber­lin—the Allies were believed to have plenty of men, ships and ))lanes to strike in at the penin-

aula farther north and -cut off the aouthem defenses If the going in the south, became Coo slow.

Would Speed Naples GaptureSuch a shortcut thrust also

would mieed the capture of Italy’s southernmost good harbor at Na-i plea and speed the progress., to­ward Foggla and Bari on the cast coast where he great airfields only about B80 miles from Ploestl — only half as far as the bases

m which the - American Ubera- .|orce raided that vital Ruma-

iia n oU target last month.There are no definite Indications

Where the denpana m i^ t make aBMjor stand, but M la assumed thsy would taka'advantage o f the irmnr*d Apennines Une running dtogonaUy across the peninsula from La Spezla to Rimini, prob­ably falling back from there to Po P o and perhaps ultimately to Al- pina defenses from the northern lip o t the Adriatic to the Swiss

. A t any rate, unless Hitler itfiaagcs his plan to’ defend his fhlllng partner it appears likely that General Eisenhower's team

^wlll have to beat by far the larg- aat German force it has yet en- aountered—even If Hitler ddean’t

, feftlforce the divisions already . pulled into' Italy from Ffance and jOermsny.

A concentration of German forces in southern Italy might mean that the AlUed leaders

|> would have to call in considerably l more than the ten or eleven divi- K sions used in Sicily and perhaps

more them the 15 to -20 employed In the final stages of the Tunisian

Kttelumph—with a resultant lessen- Mhig of the chances for a big push r,alMWhere while the Battle of Italy f-w ss still being fought.

; Topography facing the Allied '■forces lends itself naturally to

l.idetonse, for it is almost uniform- 1 , ly mountainous except for the Lplain of Sibari and the plains just l.'pQUth o f Salerno and Metaponto. If The_Calabrian Apennines run I, Wee a yardstick down the middle * Of the lower peninsula and there

ments opneeming the progress of the offensive were expected before tomorrow. ' .-

The seaaop^^ warriors of Gen. Sir Bernard L; Montgomery’s Eighth Army, under the oyer-all copimand of Gen. Dwight D. Eis­enhower, stormed across the chop­py straits in 'vplose-packed little boats in the d ^ k hours before dawn under a screaming canopy of steel thrown by land- batteries, and a sea'force of crul.scrs, destroyers, monitors and gunboats.

Overhead flew dark fdrmatlons o f hundreds of planes which smashed a path through the beach defenses and scrambled the en­emy’s network of communications throughout the Italian toe.

In crippling pre-invasion as­saults, Flying Fortresses knocked out at least temporarily the vital railroad feeding German troops through the Brenner pass into It­aly,. and U. S. Mitchell bombers wrecked kliigpins of railway de­fense, lines in the Naples area.

The Fortresses, winging 1,500 Rilles rotindtrip in their deepest strike yet Into Italy, destroyed the railroad bridge at Bolzano 35 miles below Brenner p^ss and cut the railroad at Trento 30.miles farther south with four direct hits. Freight yards at Bologna 170 miles south of the pass also were wrecked. Headquarters declared the rail­road, the "main artery of German reinforcements which have been pouring into Italy is now cluttered with wreckage, at least temporar­ily.”

The rail network from Cancello northeast of Naples was severed by the Mitchell assault, headquar­ters announcing that the lines to Naples, Salerno, Torre Annunziata, Capua and Benevento were left blocked. The Axis depended on these routes heavily for rushing troops Into the Italian toe.

Dilficult Task Faced There still was no definite word

of the degree of resistance, but it was certain the Invadera had cut out a dilTlcult task for themselves as the fighting was over rugged terrain, marked by crags and cliffs close to shore which lent them­selves naturally to defense.

iBefore the swarm of amall craft bobbed across the choppy waters in the pre-dawn offenaiye, power­ful formations of Flylrt’g Fortress­es struck mighty blows at Brenner pass communications between Italy and Germany.' Thug once again AdoK Hitler’s legions, which had boasted they held thg continent secure, were being engaged on the European mainland.

The first of the Inyaders, British and Canadian contingents of Gen­eral Montgomery’s famed com­mand, set foot on the Calabrian coast opposite eastern Sicily at 4:30 a. m. (10:30 p. m;Thursday, e. w. t.). \

The crossing 6f the strait Was made under coy^r of a piodnlesi night. It «ntaile<f‘ ihe moying o f a gr'eat arme<^6rce across the nat* rqw arm of the sea. only two miles wide at its narrowest.

But eyeh in the starlight the. outline of the mountains rising from the Italian toe could bz seen from Sicily.. The American deneral Eisen­hower was in supreme command of the historic operations. Ameri­can planes and warships played' a prominent role in the preparation and. support of the landings.

While'troop-lsden barges churn­ed across the narrow Strait of Messina, artillery on -Sicily thun­dered a heavy parrage against enemy gun positions,, warships bombardcci the beaches, and a big concentration of ai'rcraft hovered protectively overhead.

Fleets of far-reaching Allied aircraft smashed at rail- bottle­necks leading to BreAner pass, the vital connection with Germany, as the' troops surged, ashore.

The British and Canadians Isnd- ed 'bn beaches littered with the wreckage left behind as the Gerr mans fled from Sicily 17 days ago, and began esUbllshing the first foothold the western Allies have had on the mainland of Europe since the British were driven out of Greece late in April, 1941.

The attack camg on the fourth anrtlversary of Britain’s declara- Uon of war on Hitler's Germany.

First-Allied Aifliounceiiient,First announcement from .Allied

headquarters came shortly after 7 a. m. t l a. m., «. w. t.) The text:

•’Allied forces under the com­mand of Generar Eisenhower have continued their advaneg. British and Canadian troops of the Eighth Army, supported by 'Allied sea' and air power, a.ttack^ across the' Strait of Messina ekrly today and landed on the mainland of Italy.”

It was emphasized here that';the new assault was not to be reg^iAed as a “ second front,” but as a 'con ­tinuation of a campaign begun in North Africa and moving into Eu­rope step by step—^Tunisia, Pan- telleria, Sicily, and now Italy It­self. f .

That waa the meaning o f the phrase, "Allied fo r c e s '. . . have continued their adveince”— from Sicily. The first announcement gave no details of the fighting on the new beachhead.

Batter Enemy Positlona There waa no mention of Ameri

can ground forces Udiing part in the amphibious attack, but 'Yknkee fliers teamed up with their British comrades to batter enemy posi­tions and provide, a protective aky screen for th^-assault troops.

The landing came after two weeicB o f intense air-bombardment of aouthern ItMy, attacks that al­most without exception were aimed at railway and' other communica­tion fa d i^ ea to "disrupt enemy troop and supply movements.

On frequent occasions, too. Allied waiBhips ateamad up to the coaata ,for Inhere bombardmenta. Fierce Oemian opposition was

txnected on the maihlend.

They say it with songs—qnd say it with dances! That’s Bill Robinson, Lena Horne and CaB Calloway in a scene from the care­free new musical, “ Stormy Weather.” which is slated to open Sun­day for a three day run at the State theater. The 20th'Centur y-Fox hit has' been hailed as one of the most dazzling abows in many a mopn.

Allied artillery in the early stages o f the landings were said- to h:^ve silenced several enemy gut\s even before the first assault craft near­ed shore.

'The thrust was made opposite Messina in the. vicinity of Reggio Calabria, mainland ferry port which has been attacked by air almost dally for several months.

Strait Seven Miles Wide 'The strait there Is a fnere seven

miles wide, and northwards it nar­rows down to about two miles — distances that could be spanned by boat in less than half an hour.

The landings were preceded by several reconnaissance stabs at the enemy shore. Commando-type jabs which Axis radios had . de­scribed as attempts , at invasion bvit which in reality were only ex­ploratory. ' '

Thus, the Allied commanders Shropshire waa arrested Aug. 5waited only a brief time, to re­group their forces and send them into Italy to take, up the' cha.se of the enemy again.

Within that period, Bfltisb and American war planners— topped! unade, by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill—met in Que­bec and presumably put the final stamp of official approval on this new strategic setup.

Even before the close o f the victorious Sicilian campaign, the Bard-htttlng Canadians were with­drawn from the front and it vfaA understood they were drilling for I hew-assignment.

Today’s attack presuhiably was it.” •- As they did in the Sicilian cam­

paign for the first time, the Cana­dians teafhed up with unito of Gen. Sir Bernard L Montgom­ery's famous British Eighth Army ' toughened and ,battle-scarred from their long series of triumphs over the Axis across the northern edge of Africa. -<

o^.Knew AtUKiti Coming The enemy apparently knew U15

attacic was coming, for yesterday Gerihan and some Italian planes made several attacks on points along the Sicilian side '' of the straits, including Augusta, They los. at least four planes in these attacks.

The landings were preceded by two or more Commando' raids on the mainland, made to prove the enemy defenses and to disrupt communications’. These were “ hit and run” attacks and most of the- participahta, despite what Axis hroadcalts said, returned to Sicily..

(The Germans, last Tuesday, de­clared about 400 British ' troops lan(lM near Reggio O labria and all were wiped out except about 30 men Who escaped into the hills.)

The opposition, was found light, but this Was no- guarantee the main - force now going ashore would not run into strong German forces in the rugged, tree-covered terrain. .

The first blow from land was struck at the mainland, at 11:33 a.' m., Aug. 16, when « ' 165 hiilll-’ meter “ Long Tom” - of the United States Seventh A rm y ' artillery fired the first shell from 'a' vine­yard in the Sicilian hills. -

The brief announcement that the invasion had begun wifs made at Allied, headquarters shortly after dawn. War correspondents, know­ing an important announcement was likely, had risen at 4 :30 a. m., and.waited anxiously as the sky reddened in the east.

shipments of gasoline into this area were raported today by the city's large distributors, but motorists were warned that much of the, newly arriving "gas” will not f ’each filling stations.

First objective o f the distribu- ■tors will be the removal of the threat to war industries and vital delivery services. Elsscntial trans­portation and trucking will get first call upon all incomiijtg sup­plies.

The Incoming stocks are far un­der the daily demand for this ares, it was explained, representing lit­tle more than' "token” shipments. The summer-long gasoline drouj^t has drained local storage tanks of reserve supplies, and the pooled holdings of combined distributors are described as currently negligi­ble.

Whatever o f the incoming sup­plies remain after providing for essential demands will be rationed among dealers and diverted to rapidly drying filling stations. ,

Rellgfona Song' Writer Dies

Atlanta, Sept. 8.—(ifV—The Rev.^XlharUe D. Tlllmart, 83, a widely known Methodist and author of nore than 100 religious songs, died yesterday after annllxtended iltoess. Although not the author of “Tls the Old Time Religicm,” a Song often, heard at evangelical services, Tillman recalled how be heard NegroCs singing It^to the fields. He copied the words and wrote out the music.

carrier plane strength is now dou. ble what it was at the start of the war. which would put it at about 1,100 plane.s„ and “ is rapidly grow­ing.” He added that sea and air. forces are being coordinated In strength so great "that we even­tually will sink the major part of Japan's .fleet.

"We are going to knock every, fighting and bombing plane ^^fe has out o fth e air,” he said;>” our attacks on Japan herself will spearhead our groun(L forces ad­vance on Tokyo and the heart of the Nipponese empire.”

The final gc^ahead signal for the vast neW’ offensive doubtless, was given at the Quebec confer­ence last week, although Presl- dent'Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in their continuing meet­ings here may further review the general strategy designed to car­ry the war directly to Japan.

McCain’s emphasis on to* portance of the Marcus raid, de- tail.s of which had not yet been re­leased by the Navy, was but the Ir.test of a number' of official dis­closures which began with an- notmeements at^ Quebec and which, taken together, suggest .campaigns against the Japanese from four directions;

1. North Pacific, by American and Canadian forces based in the Aleutians.

■Vice Admiral Thomas Klnkaid, commander in this area, calls it "the short route to Tokyo.” , - "3. Central Pacific, by Ameri­

can forces based on the HawtCflan islands and forward outposts such as Midway. Here Admiral Ches­ter \V. Nimltz, Pacific fleet chief, is in command with the main Pa­cific Naval forces at his disposal.

3. Southwest Pacific, by Amer- Jean and Anzac forces based on Ngw’ Guinea and the Sdlomon is­lands under direction of Gen. Douglas MacArthvir.

4. Burma, by British and American ^forces, baged on -India In coordination with United States air un|to and Chinese ground troops bas^d on China.

In all 'bf these areas extensive preparations have been, under way for montKif. The importance of the' Burma theater, through'^ which passes the only practicable Sqpply route to free China, waq pointed up by the Quebec announcement that Lord Louis hfountbatten, the British Commandt chief, had been g i\ ^ ' supreme command there yirtto orders to undertake vigorous prosecution of the war against Japan.

The prospective Burma opera lions more or less fix the time for the whole gigantic offensive to ge, rolling. The monsoon season there ....should end early next month, and full-scale, military ao tlon then'will become possible, it may be expected that Mountbat- te'n, a daring and aggressive com­mander, will move at the first op­portunity.

ADout that time too the forces under MacArthur in the Southwest Pacific may , have completed and consolidated their most “Important positions foregoing into the-next stage o f their drive, an assault di­rectly on Rabaul or some other Japanese bastion In that part of the ocean.

.Anticipate Major ActionsThe Marius raid heightened an­

ticipation here of major actions in the central Pacific late this sum­mer and fall by showing that the Pacific fleet has now accumulated sufficient-ships and planes to ven­ture deep into enemy-dominated waters. Unless the Japanese fleet, by some action more bold and suc­cessful than any ip recent months, is able to re-establish its suprem­acy in those waters, the main Jap­anese islands are highly vulner- able. ,

This vulnerability extends not only to American' forces operating from Hawaii but also to those to the Aleutians. With evacuation of Kiska island by the enemy, Amerir can forces, to the Aleutians came into tmdlsputed possession- of a north Pacific Island, bridge stretch­ing to within, 8()0 statute mlleAof Japan’s; northern 'defenses in the Kuriles.

Three air raids already have- been announced against the north­ernmost of these positions on Par-, amushiro Island smd others, are scheduled with Increasing frequen­cy as our Aleutians bases, particu­larly on Kiska and Attu, are con­solidated and reinforced-

That toey will be made Into pow­erful’ offensive positions, was In^- cated yesterday, by Acting Secre­tary of War John J. MhCloy, who haa'^ust returned from the Aleu­tians. He said he had been greatly Impressed by what he saw t>f the islands and their “ capacities possibilities.”

was a get-acquainted party out at Southern Methodist University es Coach James H. Stewart opened fall football practice. He had three groups—freshmen, squadmen and Navy trainees—who hadn’t been Introduced.

But under Stewart’s fellowship technique the 60-odd huskies gave every indication of carrying on the tradition of football’s flying circus -som ething for which S.M.U. hSs been famed since the early twen­ties.

The team will not t>e as strong as last year but should be alxiut as good in tile air. Thp 1942 Mustangs led the Southwest ( i n ­ference to passing although too much of the territory was rolled up between the 20-.yard lines.

“ We will have 4 good starting team if we can dig up some tackles.” Stewart said. ”We won’t have many reserves.”

However, On the basis of veter­an material^qs, compared, to other schools, the'^-Mustangs should be fighting for the' conference title do'wn toe November stretch.

4 Lettermen Back ' Four lettermen return, including Abel Gonzales, one of the country’s finest passers and runners. Four lettermen in other years would be called slim prospects. But not In wartime, especially the quality of

t o e four veterans — Gonzales; w a ^ e Shaw, another top passer; C. D^AUen, well-qualified fullback, and Ray Rasor, one of the best guards you’ll find anywhere.

S.M.U. has ten men who have played college football. Abe Croft, end, and Ed Cloud, center, were on the squad last year. From the V-12 unit come Tom Johnqon, letterman ehd of team in 1942. Pat Tindell, a back who played at Trinity Uni­versity before it quit football, and W. E. Plpson, for two years full­back on the Kilgore Junior College eleven, are at S.M.U. as transfers. ■-’BIU Squires and Ctoarles Weber,

ba^S; (jlaud Hill, end, and Glyn Ropef^ guard, are up from last year’s freshman team. Squires rounds out what looks like one of S.M.U.’s best '^passing combina­tions.

Good Ehda C. L. Ottlnger, an end'who wouid-

haVe played at Arkansas Tech last year had it supported football, looks like a top pass-receiver to gp with Croft and Johnson to making- -toe aerial circus click.

When it became apparent that oldtimers like Buck Newsom, Dolph Camllll, Joe Medwick and Jubnny Alien were not going to bring Brooklyn home in front, Rickey turned the roster inside out and brou,|^t in a gang of kids ThC youngsters are doing all right.

Yesterday they beat the New York Giants 4-3 by scoring two runs to the eighth and anothsr to the ninth and ran their current winning streak to six games. This lifted them within three games of second place besides providing a thiee-gams cutoton over toe fourth-place Pittsburgh Pirates.

Thrilling FinishThe star of the Dodgers’ tri­

umph was Luis Rodriquez Olmo, the Puerto Rican rookie, who -has missed hitting in only a couple of games since joining toe Dodgera some seven weeks ago. He start­ed the eighth lniiin| rally with single and he hit another one- baser in the final frame to drive home the winning tally after two were out.

Dimout Halts Contest Last Night; Hartford Won First Gapie.By The Associated Press

Hartford Laurel fans are hoping for fair weather today to Insure Their club bf a 13-1 victory they almost won over the Utica Braves in the second game of an Eastern League doubleheader last night.

The Hartford club needs but one more out to make the victory of­ficial under Eastern League sus­pended contest rules. Last night, with two out to the ninth inning, the Hartford-UUca game was call­ed because of the Army dimout rule. If it rains today, Hartford's 12-run lead will go for naught. In th* first game of tha twin bill, the Laurels got tha nod over the Braves, 11-10.

•While the Laurels were continu­ing their climb, the league-leading Scranton club waa losing its fourth straight game, this time to toe Binghamton Triplets, 3-2. Johnny Maldovan, a rookie from Lancaster of the Interstate League, hurled a three-hlttor for the winners.

Elmlra'a second place club ended a three-game winning streak by dropping a 10-6 decision to to* Wilkes-Baire Barqna who landed on. Art Jones and Ernie Bldthaus for 12 hits.

Mearitime, Albany maintained its Slim hold on third place by tak­ing a 6-2 decision from Springfield.

—It wouldn’t be a first class t n - nis tournament without a “dark horse” or two,-And, since the 1943^,- National Championships are turn-* Ing out to be a first class touhisy In spite of reduced fields and other wartime restrictions, we give you Jack Kramer and Sarah Palfrey Cjooke,

Kramer, just 22. and a veteran of Several years of big time com­petition, was runner-up to Don McNeil in 1940; he teamed with Ted Schroeder to win the national doubles title two years in a row then bowed out last year when hi suffered an appendicitis attack en- route to the championships. Ht!a been in the (toast Guard all <nuQ. mer and nobody figured him as a title contender even though be was seeded third behind Frankie Park­er and Pancho Segura.

In today’s quarter final-round, Kramer meets Young Jack Tusro of New Orleans, a junior Davis Cup squad member and the only unseeded player to reach theround of eight. .Then he probably win face Segtira, toe . second-seeded player and the tournament's b lf- gest drawing card. Segura, who has lost only one encounter during the tournament season, faces hie conqueror. Seymour Greenberg; (jhlcago southpaw, ..in a return match today.

Mrs. Cooke, 1941 women’s cham­pion, also was out of tournament play last summer and most of this season. But she has been practia- , ing* with her husband, Lieut- jEl- wood (tooke of the Navy, at Pen­sacola, Fla., and she perked her new daughter .down there while she came north to play in the na­tionals:

Off her performances against Berta Garcia and Peggy Welsh, little Sarah apparently didn’t lose, anything through lack of competl*’ tion. She is hitting the ball as well as ever and pla idng her usual clever all-court game. Assuming that she beats the national girls’ champion, Doris Hart o f MlamL ■Fla., today, M rs Cooke will meet defending champion Pauline Beta In the semi-ftoels.

"Oh! I thought It was A1 Capone, lahrimk in ths wash.’ ’

•;Uncle Cal," explained Hildy, |"ia an amiable reprobate. Father Isays hs’a a worthless character I because he's such a poor business I man.”

"Well, I didn’t noUce that. I [thought he mads J. P. Morgan [look like a panhandler."

“Father refers to his past. It ■seems Uncle Cal went through-his ■own money and a lot o f Alint I Mag’s. Aunt Mag was father’s sis- Iter.”

"I see. This poor business man [who makes $10 a minute lives Ihere?”

"Oh, yes.; He’s one of the faml-|iy-

"Forgive me if 1 seem Inquisi- I tlve.” Jonah, said, "but Just why [did we give him $10?”

“ Hush money,” said Hildy.Jonah shook his head. "I'm

[thicki I guess."“Well,” said Hildy. “ I told you

I that father and I are on the outa. An* father’s been threatening me with dire things If I , don’t . . . . well, behave myself. And if be heard what I ’ve post said to you, he’d hit the roof. Well, Uncle Cal knows all about our fight. If you hadn’t given him that $10 I he’d have gone straight to father.’:

“But, gosh, that’s blackmail.I The gruy’a a menace.” ■C'.

"I know. Bpt'he had me that tima.”

J “W hst's.'fhe horse for?" asked I Jonah. "Just a playmate o f h is?”I horse,” Hildy said splte-

haa changed Uncle Cal >m a delightful elderly gentle­

man Into a conniving little money- cadger."

“ You mean the horse has a bad influence on him?"

She nodded. "The worst. There’s a bit of history to this. Jonah. It seems that years ago, before Uncle Cal frittered away his money, he owned a racehotbe. Well, father baa always bad racehqrses, too, and the story goes that he and Uncle Cal got Into an argument. About whether one o f father’s horses .could beat Uncle Cal’s. S ee?”

“ Sure. And did it? ""Yes," said HUdy. "They had

a. private race arid father’s horse won in a walk. At least, father aaj ao. But Uncle Cal haa a different version. He's hinted that father bribed hla Jockey to pull hia' horse.’’ -

Jonah whUtled. "That’s a grave charge.” '.

“ Isn’t ft? ' Particularly against father. Father is president of the State 'Curf Association.’ .. "O f course, you say your uncle doesn’t actually charge it. Just makas hints."

"Thbt’a It. Dark hints. He’s been doing it for years. Well, re cently he bought this horse, Bu­cephalus. Where he got the inoney we don't know.. But Uncle Cal appeared with him one day and chaUenged father to another race. His horse against Black Moonlight, father’s very bsst."

“ H’m," said Jonah. “ Your uncle mum repose a lot of Confidence in that fugitive from a glue fac­tory.” . -

"He’s perfectly dotty- about him. He even says' that Bucephalus can run as fast as Bonaparte Brandy."

“Then he is dotty,” Jonah ex­plained. "Bonaparte Brandy .won t ^ Kentucky Derby two years ago.”

"That’s what I tell Uncle Cal. But he won’t listen.”

V 'But where does the money angle come In? The kind of drifty a u l dreamy blackmail he goes In fo r? ’*

"Well, you see." explained Hil­dy paUently, "Uncle CaU U hop- inz to. make, a killing. 1 happen to know that when father accepU- ed his challenge, Uncle Cal put his shirt on Bucephalus and got very good "odds. And father said :^e’d cover anything else that Uncle Cal cared to bet. So Uncle ca l has been trying to scrape up more money. And he’s resorted td' the lowest ppsklble schemes. Hs even borrowed a dollar from the butler the other day.”

"By gosh,’’ said Jonah, Im- presMd, “your uncle isn’t fooling.”

"It aeema not. I’m afraid Uncle Cal bears a grudge over that other race. Of course. I don’t, think that father put the joexey up to any monkey btuineas. But father likes to win things. And when he does, hs glosiU."

”Th# gloating type, eh?”"B u t definitely. Father has

. been gloating over Uncle Cal for years. He’s been ....w ell. Uncle Cal calla it impugning my Judg- ment of horseflesh'."

” (^e, that would cUt a loan to the quick, wouldn’t ItT”

" ‘It’s cut Uncle Cal. And he plans to 'g e t even this Saturday. They're having the race tnen,”

Jonah ahook hla head. “Wen, Tm no Judge o f horsefleah either. But I’ve got another $10 that says

"Oh,, father la superbly confi­dent Re’s even ptenaSd to fiv e a

They collected Mahoney, which took ingenuity. Nature had imt conitructed Mahoney to shine at deacendlng. 10-foot walls. Finally, however, he arrived on terra firma, clutching hla black cases and breathing heavily. ]

“All preaent and accounted for," aaid Hildy. "Let'a go.”. She led the way along a gravel walk that ran through the formal garden. A t the end o f this there waa a gentle slope to the house. Jonah stopped suddenly, gasping. The full magnificence of the Chan­nlng mansion had burst upon him.

"Jeepers,” he exclaimed. “Who ran up that little number? Kubla K h an ?”

"Isn’t It hideous?” Hildy said. "Mother went continental on” us about 20 years ago." -

'Don’t apologize," said Jonah. "I ’m impressed no end.’’

Me, top.” chimed In Mahoney, who thought he ought to say something suitable.

' “ Well, glad you like it, boys. W e ....G ee , here’s luck. Father’s chased himself out into the open."

FUNNY BUSINESS

Jonah looked toward the house. Some distance away a heavily- built gentleman was pacing a ter­race. HU bead was sunk upon his chest. He looked like Rodin’s Thinker In search of a stone.

The cavalcade approached to within 20 yards without attracting the attention bf the Thinker.-Then, apparently scenting danger, he glanced ui>. His eye fell on Jonah and the camera-Uke arrangement, took In Mahoney’s black cases. And. a whooshing sound, as of a water buffalo emerging from an African river, escaped him.

“Hey," aald Jonah to Hildy, "he seems upset. H e .. . . ’ ’

A booming bellow interrupted him.

“ Photographers," bellowed Mr. Cbantiing. "I ’ll not have photog­raphers on the place. Get out of here.”

Even as he roared, he pawed the earth. Then, emitting a snort­ing noise, he charged. He was no longer a water buffalo. He wag an irritated rhinoceroa, rampant.

Mahoney turned on the publi­cized dime. Jonah waa right with him. Hildy turned in sympathy. They were off like a covey of quail.

London, Sept. 4.—(A*)—A great bombardment fleet of Lancasters smashed Berlin last night from a clear sky, casting down 1,000 long tori? (1,120 U. S. tons) of fire bombs and howling steel in

■ Washington, SepL 4—(/P)—-Crit­ical manpower aHortag^, particu­larly. In the a lrd i^ t industry, -nromfited the Offlcp'^ War Mob­ilization today tp pre)(are to pro­gram designed to ' keej> waf pro- ductipn at fuircapaclty.

President Roosevelt was ex­pected to be a participant in an OWM meeting * called to provide

.coordinated action by government agencies in handling the manpower problem.

Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Production board, and

; Paul V. McNutt, the manpower chief, have discussed the produc­tion manpower shortage with high Army and Navy officials during the past 10 days,

May Shift Contracts ^ Among, the propc^ls discussed by high ^vem m 'ent officials are projects for shifting . war con­tracts from crowded industrial

- centers so as to frM Isbor for plane fsetonea elsewhere.

The manpower shortage hae been most acute on the west coast, where much of the aircraft Indus try is centered. -Senator Downey (D., Calif.) yesterday 'asked Array, Navy and Selective Service officials to oiler testimony re­garding labor shortages in the Rocky moqntaJQ and Pacifle coast ststos,

Downey, chairman at a Senate Military sflboonimittee investigat­ing western labor eonditlons, said

. draft calls removing badly needed workers had made the labor alt- •atiOB “very aarioua.’’

'Mackinac Island, Mich., Sept. 4. —(iP»—in search of a peace-preser­vation formula for use in framing their 1944 platform, national Re­publican leadera talked of a coiii- promlse today which would satiafy the extreme Internationally-mind­ed, the middle-road collaboration­ists and the so-called “reservatlon- lata." .

All factions appeared agreed that a foreign. policy . decla? ration by the party’! Poat-War Ad­visory council St the two.day meeting beginning Monday would reaffirm, with possibly some new phraseology, the Republican stand against Isolationism voiced con sistently in and out of Congreas since -Pearl Harbor.

Eaton ".Ydded Starter”In the midst of this compromise

discussion was an unannounced “added starter ” who, while not an official member of the council, was invited by Chairman Harrison E Spangler of the Republican n a / tional committee to attend ag a special adviser.

He was TJi-year-old Rep. .Cfiisrles A. Eaton of New Jersey, ranking Republican on the HojiSe Foreign Affairs committee.

The tall, white-hkired Eaton, former-pceacher, how serving his tenth House tgrtn. was passed over when trie cguncU was formed - in midsummer'. ,

The Igribrlng of Eaton led under-cover criticism that council’s personnel was too heavl ly ‘’nationalistic."

Both Eaton and Senator Van denberg of Michigan, a leading

D. Leeron, former Dei la., newspaperman, re- B director at the Food division under Nelson,

kefeller, coordinator of Inter- Amferican affairs. He abided by Presldbijt Roosevelt’s orders that anyone wrip wants to air criticism of the a^ ln istra tion publicly should accom'pgny It with his res­ignation.

Flatly Charges Interference Leeron flatly charged the State

department with “intwference, obstruction and unlntelligej^ dic- Ution." He said in a letter to Rockefeller that he was “un Ing longer to beat my against the wall of incompetence and Interference.”

Leeron, • close associate of Vice President Wallace, was as­signed to increasing La tin-Amer­ican food output to help the over­all needs of the United Nations. He contended;

1_That "Interference fromthe State department had been going on since his division wascreated. ,. 2_Various officials, some inonly minor posUlorw. were sble to “harass and block our work because of divided authority, lack of administrative organization and want of directive policy In the State department."

3_In the face of congressionalappropriations backing up the work of the division, and the sup­port of South American govern­ments. some of SecreUry of State Hull’s aides undertook “to tell us how many and. what sort of »eri- cultural experts we may tend to countries withagreejnenta and hence-obllgatlona.
