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

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.

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.

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. Augusta in Allied Hands

Lewis and other labor disputants

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

Lewis' condition that the miners
will work until October 31 only
If Interior Secretary Ickes keeps
