in London by the Associated Press,
, the radio said that Italian officers
answered the appeal of Premier
Badoglio by reappearing in parts
" of Italy to lead patriot forces in
open fighting against the German
army and sabotage nazi defenses.
The broadcast said these efforts
to liberate Italy were now going
on at a far greater scale than at
any time since the Italian armis

of Naples on the i east side of Ve

north of Salerno.
Indicating that the Germans
had been forced to move their

announced that fighter-bombers

demolitions have wrecked the wa

torch. -
Clark's men encountered heavy
aruuery and mortar fire and ex
tensive minefields in - their for
ward drive. They struck at dawn
to open a new phase in the battle
for Italy after firmly consolidating
their hard-won hold on the Saler

their current objective.
A military spokesman said:

Really Board
To Confer on
Rent Control
Complaints received by other
agencies than the city rent con
trol commission or the , housing
committee ; of the Salem Realty
board will be discussed at a meet
ing of the realty board's commit
tee with US Employment Office
Manager William H. Baillie and
USO Director R. R. Boardman this
noon if other appointments do not
interfere.' :
Invited to sit in on the confer
ference, which is expected to lead
to Investigation by the realty
board of the complaints, is Gil
I bert , Madison, chairman of the
city's rent control committee.
Principal subject for discussion
at Friday's meeting of the realty
Doara, ine rent control threat has
oeen brought about either by un
founded complaints or by price-
increasing action on the part of
a minority of the landlords of the
city, is the expressed attitude of
realtors.
If the board's representatives
can determine by Investigation of
individual I cases which are just
complaints, they may be able to
persuade the property owners in
volved to cut back to reasonable
rentals, It has been suggested.
Rent control would mean that all
landlords in the city would be re
quired to put their rents back
on a March 1, 1942, standard, and
that they would be told to repay
to tenants the difference in rent
als collected over the past 19
months. :
Boardman's declaration that
rent control is liked was emphat
ically denied before the realty
board by W. G. Hardy, who de
clared he had fdimd no one In
communities under such control
who liked It- other : than tenants
who had had rent decreased. The
property Owner deserves . an in
come in; reward for his thrift and
enterprise and there are still those
in this area who are not receiv
ing ' income ; from the lands and
buildings they own. Hardy main
tained, t , .- .-.
Quoting announced results of
senatorial, and national realty
board Investigations at the,; close
of the last war, Mrs. Winifred
Pettyjohn said that from 14 to
13 per cent gross return is re
quired on residential rentals to
guarantee the owner a fair net,
and that : such returns have not
been general here.
rf,"Whn you get rent control you
not only get rent control hot
have 'control of Salem real estate
by the same people,; C V. Johnson
declared, pointing out that evic
tion time under federal control is
moved from Oregon's statutory 30
days to 90 days.
Doubt if Boardman had Invest.
gated the complaints he had re
ceived was expressed by R. A.
Forkner, while Hardy said there
naa oeen considerable "squawking
by persons who have complained
everywhere but to the hoard
established to hear their com
plaints.
If Salem persons were allowed
to build the new houses needed
here there would be no rent con.
trol problem, J. D. Sears declared.
maintaining- that "Albany has
hundreds of new houses.
On the other hand, he said, the
bondholders , . of ; one apartment
nouse here are nosing money be
cause they have hesitated to raise
rentals as operations costs rose.

MacArthur said he favored
"massive strokes against only
main strategic objectives" In
stead of "island hopping, with ex
travagant losses and slow prog-
Thus he brought into the open
the question that still is up in the
air What direction will allied

the maximum damage to the ene
my at the lowest .cost in men and
materiel? ':k 'X yXX-'X7"'-'.
. There are four available base
areas from which the allies could
pivot striking forces ; against Ja
pan's far-flung empire. These are
Alaska - Aleutians; Hawaii -Mid
way; Australia-New Guinea-Solo
mons; and India -Ceylon.
Some critics have written off
the achievements in the Solomons
and, New Guinea as "island hop
ping." Strictly speaking some of
these thrusts all of which have
been successfulwere Island hop
ping. , -- x-.
JBut, as Prime Minister Church
ill said of a similar island hopping
venture the invasion of Sicily
the Guadalcanal, New Georgia
and New Guinea moves werer
litis! preliminaries to the main
assault. ,
MacArthur has not considered
any of his advances to date a
anything but preparatory.
The strategy of MacArthur en
visions one or a series of massive
strokes which instead of involv
ing the- costly capture of island
after island would carry a power
ful allied force over and around
numerous islands as far as the
southern Philippines.
Reoccupation of Mindanao might
prove costly but probably no more
than a seaborne invasion of south
ern Burma or Malaya and possibly
far less costly than a series of
Guadalcanal campaigns.
Through allied development of
the southern Philippines as a base,
not only could the enemy's sup
ply lines between the Indies, Ma
laya and Japan be effectively dealt
with, but also strong pressure
could be exerted against Japan's
strategically vital bases around
the South China sea.
Such a strategy, if matched by
bnnidable exertions from India
and Ceylon against the west coast
of the south Asian mainland, could
result not only in complete isola
tion of Japan from its sources of
raw materials but also enable the
allies to gain a foothold along the
seaboard of China. . .
Such an achievement wouldn't
cause the collapse of Japan over
night but would be the most de
cisive stride in that direction yet
undertaken.
