More detailed accounts of the second battle of Kula gulf con firmed that the enemy broke off the naval engagement after losing a cruiser and from three to five destroyers. (South Pacific headquarters of Admiral William F. Halsey said some damage was inflicted upon a group of four other de stroyer before the battle ended Tuesday and that our own dam' age was slight. In tha first Kula gulf battle July 5-6, from nine to 11 enemy ships were sunk and we lost the 9700-ton cruis er, USS Helena). EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) on the road to Messina, which is the ferry connection with the Italian mainland only a few miles away across the strait of Messina. This ferry is the route by which reinforcements and sup plies can most easily reach Sic ily. If it can be closed, supplies of men and munitions will have to be brought in by ship from Naples or by air. With our demonstrated com mand of sea and air, this will be difficult Instead of incurring heavy losses by hunting down the axis force in the Sicilian mountains, we may elect to starve and bomb them out at infinitely less cost. CROM the plain of Catania to Messina is much harder go ing than we have yet encount ered, as the way lies through rugged mountains. That's where the hardest fighting is likely to come. NE more word here as to planning. You've probably noted in the dispatches the statement that dock facilities at the ports of Syracuse and Augusta (already taken by us) are undamaged. Why? Well, we probably PLANNED it that way, leaving them un bombed so that we can USE them. It's careful planning such as this that wins wars. 'THE fighting In Russia has nU - IahIh .. -a J.t- ,1 Bit UIKIHIUI5 tWAII. The Germans, definitely stop ped at Orel, shift their weight to Belgorod In a mighty effort to BREAK THROUGH. The Russians are reported today to have STOPPED them and then to have TAKEN THE OF FENSIVE. Keep your eye on this situa tion. It might become interest ing. TJEHE'S a guess: The invasion of Sicfly ISNT a second front. In the way the Russians regard second fronts. More likely it's designed to remove the Sicilian menace to the Med iterranean sea route and as a THREAT TO ITALY. Italy MIGHT crack under the threat The Germans might elect to shorten their lines by abandoning Italy without an all out fight Lots of things might happen. The next few weeks will be extremely interesting. TTHE Kula gulf naval fighting has ended the Japs hope of reinforcing Munda. Our re maining job there is starving out and mopping up the Japs left on New Georgia island the same process as at Guadalcanal. THE Vichy French government x at Martinique (in the Car ibbean) comes over to our side today, placing its ships and re sources at our disposal. That is significant as German-dominated Vichy's admission that the jig is up and it's no use to try longer to hang onto Martinique as a possible thorn in our . de. Included in Martinique's re sources is the sum of $300,000, 000 in Bold, which th new French orovislonal eovernment can use to good advantage in getting onto Its financial feet.

Daylight Raid The daylight raiders staged such a spectacular parade across the channel that thousands of persons in British southeast coast towns congregated in the streets to watch them pass.

Two Sicilian Air Bases Taken by Allies on Land (Continued From Page One) boats,, two of which were set afire and driven ashore. Allied air forces sank two more enemy merchantmen and damaged two destroyers in their sweep of the sea. Strength Increasing Allied armored strength was increasing, and as it grew the Americans were in a position at the western end of the crescent shaped allied line to spear through the long, vulnerable lines of the axis forces which had not been able to make a stand anywhere. Only the crack German Her mann Goering division had shown a taste for determined re sistance, and American tanks were reported battling this di vision near Nisccmi, 23 miles east and slightly north of their Licata bridgehead. This German division lost 10 of its 60-ton Tig er tanks in one counterattack. Shallow Sector The American sector was the most shallow, but it also was the longest and it formed a potential threat to -the rear of any axis line formed to stop Montgomery. (The German radio, in a broadcast recorded in- London, said Gen. Montgomery had thrown tanks into his northward push and was exerting "very strong pressure." Another broad cast said the fighting had de veloped into a "great battle of Increasing violence." (A Rome broadcast, recorded by CBS, said the main axis con centration was at Enna in cen tral Sicily, and that these forces "have not begun to move south.") Pattern Punched The pattern of the American advance on the western wing of the allied front was punched out by the big guns of American war ships which pounded enemy troop formations and tank col umns behind Gela and in the Ponte Olivo and Porto Em pedocle areas. The Americans now held a line running nine miles inland to Naro, 15 miles northwest of their westernmost beachhead, at Licata. Ponte Olivo Is nine miles in land from Gela, another of their beachheads, and Comiso is about six miles west of Ragusa, whose capture, reported yesterday, was confirmed by today's commun ique. Rapidly laying a solid grip to Sicily's eastern coast, the Brit ish eighth army moved upon Catania against continued weak enemy resistance. The semi-circular allied line stretching across southeastern Sicily was now secure at all points and a direct thrust by the British into the Catania plain ap peared possible without risk to their rear by an axis ' counter attack.

Paul was with the Fourth Marines stationed at Shanghai, but was en route to The Philip pines when war was declared. Mr. and Mrs. Boorman received their last message from Paul In the fall of 1941.

The test of compliance will be in the observance of the terms and conditions laid down by the board whether the parties put their names on a paper or not. This, said board members, Is con sonant with the recently-enacted war labor disputes act, which says nothing about signing a con tract. Several members disclosed their conclusions on this point as President Roosevelt gave no tice that the government intends to return the coal mines to their owners. In line with the war labor disputes act, regardless of Lewis' condition that the miners will work until October 31 only If Interior Secretary Ickes keeps custody of the mines.
