A number of German visitors were already there. And they weren't surprised. They were on the beaches waiting. The reaction that followed is known as the battle of Salerno. It is one of the real milestones of the second world war, mark ing first joint British-American landing on the continent of Eu rope. It opened a disheartening cam paign that became a long bleed ing wound for the troops who fought In this "forgotten war." And the keynote was set at the moment of landing. American navy vessels had withheld their softening fire against land tar gets, hoping thereby the assault troops would catch the Germans unaware. Sighted by Plane But an enemy reconnaissance plane had sighted Allied convoys the day before. When the infan try waded ashore through mine bells the Nazi 16th Panzer di vision was in position, all guns firing. The Germans quickly massed four other divisions around the beachhead. And for five stubborn days of around-the-clock fighting the allies fought to keep from being thrown back into the sea. And there were many high of- ncers among tnem who thought that would happen. Wise men slept with their clothes on. 1 landed with a group of air force engineers whose tob was to follow quickly after the first Infantry groups and build an air strip for American fighter bomb ers. We came from Sicily aboard a British tank landing ship. names on sand As we anoroached the shore I could see bright orange flashes from British artillery pieces on the sands.

That night German coun ter Dattery lire landed in our no- sition and killed some men. The next night we bunked in an apple orchard. A German plane found us with flares and put a bomb In the middle of our orchard. But by the next dav the air. strip was built. Then the lone march un the mountainous peninsula began. It was like a war between quarrel ing ants on the backbone of a dinosaur. Disillusioned Thousands of men became rii. illusioned for life about Italv's famous sunnv climate.

The answer to evervday insurance problems By KEN BAILEY 1 QUESTION: My sister In law had a valuable watch stolen while she was asleep on a re cent trip. She had put the watch under her pillow and when she awoke. It was gone. My husband carries a Resi dence Theft insurance policy and the insurance man told us we were covered for thefts of personal property when away from home. If I had my watch stolen under the circumstances I have described would the in surance company pay the loss? ANSWER: Yes. tinder the terms of a theft policy which covers loss of personal prop erty while away from home, the Insurance company would pay for loss of the watch as you have described it.

For weeks progress was In yards ra ther than miles. The Germans seemed to have a hill for every soldier, and it took a million dol lars worth of artillery and some blood to take each hill. Naples fell, and its hollow- eyed people held out their hands lor lood, crying "manglare; Man pare!" and "Pane! Pane!" The water mains were blown, the streets ankle deep in filth. In hospitals there were no bandages, and the sick died on mattresses laid in rows along the candlelit floors. Then came the siege of Cassino, Anzio and the break through to Rome. But the next day a vast force hit the beaches of Normandy, and the eyes of the world turned to France, the portal that led to Germany. For the rest of the war the troops in Italy wore their hearts out against the endless mountains on that forgotten front. And to day they remember the campaign with little pleasure. For when peace came the Ger mans still hadn't run out of mountains. Transportation Workers Seek To Bring Man's Wife NEW ORLEANS m Transportation workers In four countries are racing against time In an effort to reunite an Ameri can war veteran and his German wife and child. The veteran, Edward Reisbeck, 27, of Portland, Ore., is nervous ly waiting here, hoping his fam ily will arrive in the United States by midnight Sept. 21 the deadline war brides must make to enter the country without going through quota procedures. And Reisbeck says, "they tell me it would take five years to bring them In under quota." Reisbeck married while serving in the army of occupation In Ger many. He came to this countty to prepare a home. Meanwhile his child, Beatrice Marianne, 2, whom he has never seen, was born. Reisbeck said he made reserva tions for his wife and baby with a steamship company in Chicago. But when he went there to check on the reservations later, he was told the company could not bring them over for months. In desperation he came to New Orleans, but steamship lines here told him the same story. He had a rehate on the fare he had paid the Chicago steemsbin office and thought maybe he could arrange air transportation. But that, he found, would cost $111 more than steamship fare and he didn't have it. Newspaper stories of his plight brought results, however. Two persons, asking that their names not be used, offered to help him financially. One found him a job here. And a travel agency with of fices here went ail out in an at tempt to arrange transportation for the mother and child. It is working with agencies in Ger many, England, Canada and the United States. Present plans call for them to sail from Southampton, England, Sept. 13 aboard the SS Aquitania and arrive in Canada Sept. 19. But there is still the problem of getting them from Frankfurt, Germany to Bremerhaven and from there to Southampton. Small Girl Tells Story , Of Father Being Shot NEW YORK. Sept. 13. .T In a small, trembling voice, 10-year-old Nancy Falleta spoke from the witness chair: "I put my baby sister to bed and went to the window. I saw my father coming up the block. I saw Charlie coming up the block." "I heard my father say 'please, Charlie, don't shoot.' Then Charlie shot mv father. After he shot my father he went up the block. Then he came back and he shot mv father two more times. Then he went up the block again." Nancy stood up. She pointed at Carmine (Charlie) Petillo, 47, accused of killing her father, Frank Falleta, 35, in an argument about $20. "That's him," said Nancy.
