Men Died On Salerno, Italy,
Beaches Just 6 Years Aqo
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK UP)
Six vears ago Itaiy was surprised
by the greatest tourist influx in
its history.
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.

The answer to evervday
insurance problems

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

I have described would the in

ANSWER: Yes. tinder the

wounded. If it wasn't rocky un
derfoot it was muddy.
And the army moved like a
sluggish measuring worm. 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.
