Axis Sees Allies Taking Big Risks Stockholm, July 13 OP) Rome dispatches to Swedish newspapers said today Italian commentators had admitted that the allied invasion forces in Si cily were driving toward Mes sina but at "great risk." Stockholm's Tidningen quot ed a spokesman as declaring that the allies are "playing for very high stakes." Allessan dro Pavolini, Italy's former pro paganda minister, answering Italians who are asking how it was possible that the allies could land on Sicily in such force in view of Premier Mussolini's re cent invasion speech in which he was quoted as declaring they would be stopped at the sea, ad vised them "not to take-Mussolini's words too literally," the paper said. While the Italian press and commentators were taking a se rious view of developments in Sicily, dispatches to the Swed ish press from Berlin described German spokesmen as being "optimistic." Stockholm's Tidningen said Berlin asserted that "practically speaking," the American troops have been "liquidate," although a few American detachments are fighting in "hopeless positions." Supplies for Civilians Short Washington, July 13 (U.R) The war production board's of fice of civilian requirements be lieves stocks of civilian sup plies will hit a "dangerously low point' by November, it was learned today. Christmas will be a lean one this year, a high OCR official said, unless steps are taken now to replenish necessary items. He said that retail inventories already are depleted to, and in some instances are below, the danger point. The civilian requirements di vision is formulating a program for the manufacture of suffi cient quantities of civilian sup plies to bring back stocks of neede items closer to normal. It may be ready to present to War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes next month. The OCR spokesman admit ted that th program would run into strong military opposition, but added that the OCR is plan ning to defend its position that civilians need certain items to keep up morale and effi ciency. "We are asking for more for the last quarter of this year than is now being manufactur ed,' the official said. Vend we are particularly asking that personal items the perplexing, miserable little things that can upset civilians when missing be manufactured in quantities that will take care of demand."

Tha urjtto hu hMn annmised at Court News Post-war Bridge FinancePlanned Members of the county court Tuesday afternoon are at Dallas In discussion with the Polk county court as to what proposi tion will be made to the state highway commission here next Saturday as to what steps the two counties will take toward pay their respective shares into into a reserve for a new inter county bridge over the Willam ette river at Independence as a post-war project. Tentatively the plan is for each of the counties to pay one eighth of the cost of the struc ture, or a fourth of it between them. This would leave the other three-fourths to be borne by the state and federal govern ments. The present estimated cost of such a bridge is $300,000 which would mean that Polk and Mar ion counties would each pay $37,500 into the project, this money to be set aside in a sink ing fund for the purpose. It is expected that Independence and Salem people interested in the project will also be at Tuesday afternoon's meeting. Jimmy Donegan Passes at Burns James J.

Secretary of Navy Frank Knox warned today that it would be "the worst kind of folly" to as sume from recent good rennrts that the Atlantic submarine war is won. "I haven't n Hnuht hut what it will break out again," Knox said at a press conference. "It is utterly erroneous to assume that the submarine war is over. We'll have troubles with submarines probably right up to the end of the war in greater or less degree. "The maximum to be said with safety is that we've reduced the sinking of allied shins ma terially." Knox was questioned on ru more that the nowerful .Tannn. ese naval base at Paramushiru in the Kuriles had been bombed By American planes from Attu. "There is nothing I can talk about," he replied. He added that he would not deny or affirm" the rumors which were heard here yester day. Knox said that he found dur ing his recent 8000-mll rin to the west and gulf coasts that navy establishments were "all running at top pace." The most serious problem the navy has in these areas is ent. ting civilian employes to work in navy establishments, he said. Due to a campaign, however, this manpower shortage is be ing materially reduced. Knox said. The secretary said that he was "amazed at the civilian morale in the northwest."

S. navy, retired, had filed suit for permanent ali mony, charging her husband with misconduct with another woman.

PARAMOUNT MARKET 260 N. LIBERTY New Draft Laws Contemplated Washington, July 13 (P)New draft legislation, including a proposal to require all adult men and women to register for service in the war effort, will be the subject of exten sive hearings by the house mili tary affairs committee when the congressional recess ends in September. By that time, Chairman May (D., Ky.), said today, the com mittee hopes to have available more data bearing on the pros pect of inducting fathers. "Whether we shall expedite legislation, already passed by the senate, to boost the govern ment payments to dependents of drafted men will depend in a large measure on the outlook two months from now," May said. May said hi shared a general belief among committee mem bers that the Induction of fath ers would be put off for some time, perhaps indefinitely. In that event, he explained, the need for boosting federal pay ments already provided would be lessened. However, he added, should the outlook in September in dicate the early induction of fathers, additional financial pro visions for them would have to be made speedily by congress. Also on the committee's dock et for early consideration is the Austln-Wadsworth national ser vice bill under which all men and women would be required to register for assignment to ser vices where there was a need for them in the armed forces, industry or agriculture.
