" Raids Take Toll
A Rome broadcast highlighted
Italy's invasion tension with the
announcement that nine more
Italian provinces had been de
clared "operational zones on
orders by Premier Mussolini.
The Italians said 11 persons
were killed and 20 injured in a
raid on Syracuse, Sicily, and
listed 10 killed and 54 injured
t Messina.
Northern Europe had a quiet
night the first after a week-
long pounding of vital German
war centers by RAF and Ameri
can bombers.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's
headquarters announced that a
strong force of U. S. Flying
Fortresses from North Africa,
scored many hits on the ferry
terminal at Messina, Sicily, only
a few miles from the Italian
mainland.
Other allied raiders blasted
the airdrome at Milo, on the
western tip of Sicily, and at
tacked Olbia and Golfo Aranci
in Sardinia. Marauder bombers
were credited with setting three
axis ships aflame at Olbia.

Executive Rtsigns
From Regional OPA
SAN FRANCISCO, June 19
(Pi The resignation of Norman
S. Buchanan as regional execu
tive of the office of price admin
istration and appointment of
James K. Hall of Seattle as act

day. Leo Genther, acting regional
OPA administrator in the ab
sence of Administrator Frank E.
March, said Buchanan will go to
Washington for a special assign
ment with OPA before taking up
his duties as visiting professor of
economics at Columbia univer
sity. Buchanan probably will
teach one course for the navy's

night from Africa to the main
land of Europe without drastic
revisions in armament."
Critical Failure
- Specifically, Patterson said
industry failed by 5H per cent
to meet production needs of the
army ground forces last month.
He said 'This failure of May
production is the most critical
single occurrence of the army
supply program."
This, he said, means that
troops in training "must be de
prived of critical equipment in
order to supply troops being
shipped overseas and those al
ready overseas. If this situation
continues, even our overseas
troops will suffer from short
ages of critical equipment."
Patterson asserted that the
decreased production was due,
in his opinion, to "over con
fidence and complacency" on the
part of the country.
Overconfidenee
"I would attribute the let
down in May," he said, "to
overconfidenee inspired by the
Tunisian victory and the suc
cess of European bombings; to
baseless rumors of vast quan
tities of army supplies being
stored here in America, far be
yond our abilities to transport
overseas, and to the mistaken
belief on the part of many that
materials in great quantities will
shortly become available for the
reconversion of many war facil
ities to the production of less
essential civilian items. And
there are other reasons."
He said the mid-western
floods undoubtedly had some
effect on production but "there
is concrete evidence that deep
seated intangibles had a far
reaching effect.
Stringent Liquor
Rules Requested
PORTLAND. June 19 (JP-
The Oregon Methodist confer
ence joined the campaign last
night for more stringent liquor
regulation in Oregon.
A conference resolution asked
the state liquor control commis
sion to prohibit sale of alcoholic
beverages in war plant and mili
tary areas and to ban liquor ad
vertising in the state.
The Oregon Anti-liquor league
and the WCTU made the same
demand before the commission
yesterday.
The Methodists also protested
use of "grain and other materials
for the manufacture of alcoholic
beverages while at the same time
there is a growing shortage of
foods."

week of strange silence, declar
ing nine threatened southern
Italian 'provinces "operation
zones." This meant martial law
was extended to most of the
Italian boot south of Naples,
capital of Napoli.
The Rome radio, in a report
recorded by The Associated
Press, said the affected prov
inces were Foggia, Bari, Brind
isi, Lesse, Taranto, Cosenza, Cat
anzara. Matera and part of Reg
gio Calabria. Sardinia and
Sicily, besieged Italian Medi
terranean outpost islands, long
have been under martial law
and "zones of operation."
The Morocco radio asserted
that the fascist party directorate
had asked Mussolini to relin
quish the entire conduct of the
war to the party. This uncon
firmed report, recorded by The
Associated Press, suggested that
strife within the party was
rampant and that efforts might
be underway to oust Mussolini
in a move preliminary to event
ual bargaining with the Allies.
Due in Trouble
During most of the week, re
ports emanating from Italy have
pictured Carlo Scorza, secretary
of the fascist party, as the dom
inant figure in the government.
Trustworthy reports from in
side Europe said a tide of Ital
ian bitterness has been rising
against Mussolini, whose adven
ture into war already has cost
Italy all her African empire
and the Mediterranean islands
of Pantelleria, Lampedusa, Lam
pione and Linosa. Italy has been
brought under devastating aer
ial bombardment from Africa
and from the British Isles, and
the whole of the exposed penin
sula is within range of bombers.
Moreover, Mussolini's deals with
the Germans have brought an
increasing dominance from the
senior axis power.
These reports said Mussolini
was attempting to shift the
blame for his errors upon the
fascist party national director
ate and that this was the rea
son for the eminence of the
directorate in Italian affairs
earlier this week. However, all
members of the directorate were
appointed by Mussolini, whose
title of II Duce means "leader
of the party.
Circus Performers
Hit by Poisoning
WASHINGTON, June 19 W)
More than 100 performers and
employes of Ringling Brothers,
Barnum and Bailey circus were
under treatment in hospitals to
day for food poisoning which
struck- many of them last night
while the show was on.
Officials of the circus said
they expected to go ahead with
this afternoon's performance.
Many of the 103 still in hospi
tals at mid-morning were trying
to persuade physicians to re
lease them but most were held
until' noon as a precautionary
measure.
Substitutes were arranged for
some of the acts, but many of
those stricken planned to take
their regular turns.
Johann Strauss was the ori
ginal "Waltz King."

House Move to
End Domestic OWI
(Continued From Page One)
said the action would wipe out
all wartime coordination of news
releases for the radio and the
press and eliminate the motion
picture program.
The OWI employs approxi
mately 1500 persons in its do
mestic bureau and around 3000
in the overseas branch.
Called a Stench
In his speech, Starnes de
clared:
"America needs no Goebbels
sitting in Washington to tell the
press what to publish. America
needs no Virginio Gayda sitting
in Washington to hand down
news and tell us how to
think. . . .
"The type and character of the
domestic propaganda foisted up
on the American people, through
publications printed and distrib
uted at government expense by
the OWI, is a stench to the nos
trils of a democratic people. . . .
"It is an insult to the Ameri
can people to say they do not
know what we are fighting for
until they are told what and
why by the OWI under the di
rection of Mr. Elmer Davis of
the American labor party.
"It is more than a waste of
public funds to permit the office
of war information to spend $5,-
500,000 to inform the American
people why we are at war and
how to win it, when we have the
only free and untrammelcd press
in the world to give the facts
without distortion.
"We should thank God In our
daily prayers for America's free
press."
Rep. Allen CD-La.) charged
that OWI's recent pamphlet on
the negro situation had cited
race prejudice in the south.
AGAINST JAPANESE

eral of India, Sir Archibald, who
now becomes Lord Wavell, suc
ceeds the Marquess of Linlith
gow. The appointment is for five
years.
To take Wavell's place as commander-in-chief
in India the
British government appointed
Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck,
who was relieved as British
commander in the middle east
in 1942.
Field Marshal Wavell, now in
Britain, will return to India to
begin his duties when Lord Lin
lithgow's term expires in Octo
ber. General Auchinleck takes
over at once as Indian military
commander, a position he held
in 1940-41 before being shifted
to the middle east.
As the first step in the plan to
create the new east Asia com
mand, the announcement said,
"it is proposed to relieve the
commander-in-chief in India of
responsibility for the conduct of
operations against Japan."
This intention was viewed as
one of the first tangible steps in
development of the global strat
egy evolved in the recent Wash
ington conferences between 1
President Roosevelt and Prime i
veil and the air and naval com
manders in India took part.
