PAGE TWO Reaten'Nazis Stream Worth FromNaoles A (Continued from Page DA destroyed a tank and machine gun carrier in a raid en Bar ehetta, 12 miles senthwest of Basils. The Vrench airforce de stroyed six planes. Including four large Junkers-52 transports, and attacked a convoy off Bas tia. The French communique " - said "shock battalion and patriot troops are eagerly parsalor tho . enemy" between Aleria, 41 miles fcelow Bastia, and FolellL If ' miles south. ; V; Airmen, who spotted the Ger- ' mans fleeing into Naples and be yond to the north and northeast, bombed their truck convoys. The allied communique covered action only to 6 p.m.' Wednesday and fresh gains ranged from one to five miles near the gulf .of Na pies. ; - " " -;i;-vi- Allied casualties were heavy. Incomplete ' flrnres, exelading most of the violent action lead slng to the borsting of the final mountain barrier south-of Na- - pies, showed 3708 British and American troops killed, weand- - ed or missing. - v Three British correspondents were killed by a Mark-Ill tank at the edge of the Naples plain Tues day. They were A. B. Austin of the London Daily Herald, Stew .art G. Sale of Reuters and JWil- liam J. Mundag of the London News Chronicle and Sydney (Au stralia) Morning Herald. A fourth British writer, Basil Gingell of Ex change Telegraph, was injured slightly. They were the first cor respondents killed by enemy ac tion in Sicily or Italy. British divisions of the Fifth army suffered 5211 casualties be tween Sept. 9-20 and the Ameri cans through Sept. 15 of the same period lost 3497 men. The high proportion of casualties, consider ing thenumber of troops involved, gave an indication of the fierce ness of mountain fighting by the -Infantry which preceded the ar mored surge into and beyond Pom pel. . v As the Fifth army advanced on Naples, great columns of smoke and flame leaped from the city of horror. Engineers did yeoman service in swiftly digging out minefields. In contrast, the Eighth army pushed along the Adriatic and beyond the great air center of Foggia without encountering ex tensive mines or effective resist ance. (The German communique hinted at the evacuation of Naples later reported from Stockholm, saying: "Harbor installations have been thoroughly destroyed to pre vent enemy landings. Severest measures have been taken against communist riots. The enemy in eeneral followed up "our move ments with rather weak forces.' The Foggia plain, which ex tends 30 miles north of Foggia, was declared almost entirely un der allied domination. Photos Show Huge Damage In Nazi Capitol By ROBERT" N.

The big 'concentration of bombs was notably effective in Siemen- stadt, an industrial community of 250,000 people where light; and heavy electrical equipment, of first importance to the German war effort, is manufactured. The great -Siemens electrical woncs was . partially wiped out.

Salem folk who attended the Mill City bond auction Wednes day night reported that the total at that time was $25,000 and that the Mill City district, where Del bert Hill is chairman, went over the top to the tune of 165 per cent There was a big crowd at the Hollywood auction Thursday night and the bidding was brisk. Patriots Fight In Yugoslavia M (Continued from Page 1) M The London Daily Telegraph declared, with seeming, authority, that the Yugoslav fighting "with out doubt is preliminary to major events in the Balkans, which may lead ! to a junction of allied and soviet armies.1 3 . r . In a communique "broadcast . by the free Yugoslav station, heavy and indecisive lighting was re ported about Split. It said patriot lines were holding strongly at Susak and that' the Germans were suffering high casualties.

Navy Said Withholding News From Public WASHINGTON, Sept 30 -6P) The newspaper advisory commit tee of the office of war informa tion, asserting that the American public "is not ' being adequately informed about tho war," tonight blamed the disinclination on the part- of . some high naval and military authorities to evaluate what Is information to which the public is entitled." : Too Late to Classify WANTED t 4 cords' IS in. fir: wood- delivered.

Write EC ? - sSlT T, pnw Th Sacrifice to the New Order ON the HOME FRONT By ISABEL CHTT.D3 I like the story about the duti ful marine who was walking down (or up) High street one day when the Grand theatre loud speaker was telling the town what the dialogue was on the screen inside where "Stage-Door Can teen" was showing. V " There comes a time in the play when "all marines of - - are to report immediately to their commanding officer." The Salem marine, evidently a member of the unit involved and quite possibly hundreds or even thousands of miles away from his commanding officer, got quite up set and, so the story goes, even had the long distance operators excited, while all the time some one who had seen : him leap to attention was trying to explain to him that the sound and fury came from a moving picture show. Idealism of Practical Slant Advised The current war cannot end wars and the United States cannot feed the world, Rev. J. Kenneth Wishart, pastor of the First Evan gelical church, told fellow mem bers of the Salem Lions club Thursday noon. A United Nations victory will provide a chance, however, to build a peaceful world and a well-fed world, he declared. To plan for a postwar world, he said, Americans should attempt to be practical idealists. Wars are not ended by wars, because war fare engenders hatreds, the speak er maintained. But out of wars can grow things that are good. Such outgrowths include some of the statements of the Atlantic charter, Wishart said, questioning whether a nation can 'offer mor al freedom when "The State of Oregon engages in a business which wrecks the lives of the young in order to feed and house the old." There is mismanagement he declared,' when army men on maneuvers, receive- truckloads of tinned beer but find it difficult to obtain a drink of cool water on the southern deserts of this country. . j-j ?, ; Tho United States and those who speak for the nation must re cognize, he said, that by cooper ation and recognition of the com mercial rights of others the- econ omic welfare of the world is guar anteed, not by mere- declarations from one large and healthy state. Recognizing the right to free dom of religion, a- country which would build for peace throughout the world should recognize reli gion, the speaker observed. "Only by changing the hearts ' of men can we hope to change the world," he declared. Yickers Worker To Stay : on Strike : LONDON, Sept 30-C)-Work- ers of tne Vickers - Armstrong armament plant at Barrow, where about 9000 engineering employees have been out for two- weeks in protest against a . wage interpre tation by the national arbitration tribunal, voted today to remain on - strike until tne company evolved " a t different - method ; of bonus payments.

Settlements have been : transformed -into strongholds surrounded by barbed wire, backed by artillery and mor tars. But Red Star aded that the Soviets had smashed 30 , of these settlements and reached the east ern bank of the Sozh river which is only a few miles, east of GomeL - The communique, also told of advances in the Vitebsk direction where yesterday the Soviets cap tured : Rudnya, : 40 miles east of the city. More than 30 towns and hamlets were taken in this sector. Bat it was the battle of Kiev that held the most drama on the long; Russian battlef rent The taking of Kiev also would mean crossing the Dnieper at the heart of that vital German de fense line. Red army guns shelled the Ger mans on the high cliffs from their newly won eastern emplacements. The Russians held both railway and highway bridges on the east ern side of the villages outside the city. The Russians also held Trukhanov island, a sandy plain washed by the 'i Dnieper and its arm, the Starik,- in Kiev's front yard. They were just across-'-the river and. the villages they held actually were sub-divisions of the city. ., ' . ; - - A dispatch to the Moscow news paper Fravda said the - first air battles were- taking place over Kiev despite fog and said. Storm ovik dive bombers broke through to the enemy artillery and cleared the .way for ' infantry advances. Messerschmitts came up to meet, them bat were reported downed after a sharp dog-fight A Red Star dispatch said the Germans considered Kremen chua their most important Dnieper bridgehead and added that the Dnieper here was "most available for crossings." The Germans were said to have fled in near panic in this sector despite a reported order from Adolf Hitler to hold out until the end. RAF Ends PeakMonth H (Continued from Page 1) H stop round-the-clock cross-channel bombing offensive- in conjunc tion with land and sea exercises which were- nothing short of a shooting rehearsal of the air for ces part in eventual invasion.' The Britain-based Fortress fleet of the American Eighth air force made ten raids in September, equalling July's previous ' peak. while the American Marauder medium bombers were out 20 days as against July's five. They hit some 40 targets, mainly air fields and railroad yards. V The Fortresses during the month executed their first dusk raids, landing in full darkness, and with a Bare-signal system and a new bomb-suspension arrangem ent permitting transport of a lot of incendiaries in addition to high explosives, they made a scatter- bomblng attack through heavy clouds to hit Emden in the Mon day assault. ;.
