President Says I
War Entering
Final Phase
WASHINGTON, July 10 -ff)
President Roosevelt told the world
Saturday that the invasion of
Sicily means - the war against
Italy and Germany has entered its
final phase- with' the complete de
struction of nazism "and fascism
as the objectives -directly, ahead.
i "I think you can almost say;
he declared, that tills action . . .
is the beginning of the end.
The chief ' exeentlve's
menU en the historic military ;
: develepment snggested that Ger-:
man ferees in France will be

net from Britain and' northward '
from the Mediterranean area.
There was a strong hint, too, of
an invasion of Italy although
there 1 were no j definite commit
ments in the president's remarks,
Mr. Roosevelt's views on the
military situation io, Europe, as
a result of the latest allied pro?
gress, were given out in. two ways.

- papal domains threugheut Italy :
will be respected." I f
. The message had opened with
a reference to the landings in
Sicily" and a statement by the
president that "our soldiers have
come to rid Italy of fascism and
all its unhappy-symbols, to drive
out the; nazi , oppressors who are
infesting her soil." V

Observers Say
; Attack. Is First
Blow at Germany
LONDON, July 10-(Vrh al
lies' solid smash into the under
belly of the axis on Sicily was
hailed in London Saturday as the
first in a rain of invasion blows
designed to batter the enemy to
his knees.
Military observers believed that
the allies now are strong enough
to drive heavy blows " home in
swift succession. - !
"General Eisenhewer landed
a solid left en Sicily, one mili
tary man said, "but his ferees
there comprise only one ef the
f allied fists in the Mediterra
nean. Oar right menaces the
j Balkans and we have ether fists :
in the west, se that the. enemy
j eannei : threw everything r into
i eountertng this punch. ;
i While . assuming that the , inva
sion of Sicily will succeed,' Brit
ish and American .officers joined
in warning against any idea that
the island wiU fall without the
fiercest kind of' fighting and
heavy. casualties : ,' f A
i None was willing I to ' predictl
whether -the campaign to subdue
Sicily would require- weeks or
months. r ; -
. With operational- reports still
scanty " late S a t u r d a y, these
seemed to emerge as significant
facts: 5. , ,j '. ' '
- General Eisenhewer has
struck with what probably is -the
best trained, best equipped
and ene ef the largest amphibi
ous assault ferees ever sent, into
' action. . , ' - . .
. - His American, British and Ca
nadian troops : are hitting an Is
land strongly defended by a
mixed . Italian German force
which may total as high as 400,
000 men,- backed by an unknown
number - of planes probably at
least several -hundred. .
It may well7 be a day or two
before ; the course of battle be
comes ' dearly, enough defined to
say 'accurately how it is going,
. The vaunted British Eighth
army, though well rested, ap
parently is net In these opera-(
tions, but Is standing by along'
with the bulk ef the American
First army in -Algeria and ' the
British Ninth and Tenth armies
Im Iran and Iraq. :
" Thus it is assumed that the al
lied, forces not participating in the
attack, on Sicily -greatly outnum
ber, the present . striking 4 force.
They remain .as major menaces to
other Mediterranean points.
. Should Hitler and Mussolini de
cide to make an all-out fight for
Sicily and bring in reinforcements
from , southern . Italy or southern
France, ; they - would expose, those
areas . to blows from other pow
erful allied contingents - waiting
for thesignal to hit. 5 j V : J
Shnllarlly, .any. axis . planes -flown
in te oppose the assault
ea Sicily would have to ; be

One airman said that at one point the American troops who
jumped ashore apparently did hot encounter any enemy gunfire.
He told of seeing the Americans deploy ready for action. "After
a brief pause they moved on ahead," he said. . ,
(The landing was effected without serious loss," said Edward
Gilling, representing the combined British press, in an Algiers
dispatch.) ; 7 " "
The triumphant news came at the end of a day of official

Royal Indian, Dutch; Polish and Greek naval units partici
pated in the strike across the Mediterranean, herding the invasion

fenses with a concentrated fire.
Hundreds of allied planes patrolled over the beachheads, and
attacked "the few airdromes still being used by the enemy."

by the American and British airmen. , . ' -

V Veteran military observers received the news of the suc

they said "It's much too early for unlimited optimism." '
Decisive days are still ahead, they said. ' r
: These observers cited one of war's old axioms the critical
moment appears when the enemy counterattacks. Until a late
hour tonight, nearly 24hours after the first American British and
Canadian foot soldiers set foot on Sicily, there was no news of an

The Salem school district direct

war plans for a sewage treatment
plant are still intact, and so is the
fund for buflding it. The Salem

Two years ago there existed- in

much less -readily be foreseen. It
was created by the then Mayor
W. f Wii Chadwick and its most
active Worker' was Fred Hey, ar
chitect who no longer is a Salem
resident,:, having been attracted

in the county were not represent
edand the desirability of co-
ordinated planning was recogniz
ed, particularly since the indepen
dent launching of too many pro-i
jects, too nearly ; simultaneously,
might seriously disrupt the com
munity's over-all tax structure.
Tentatively, a "ten-year plan"
for community - betterment was
adopted. It included replacement
