ShUt to Block British This concerted assault by enemy forces in which the crack German armored Hermann Goering division took part indi cated that the Italian and Ger man commanders had shifted the bulk of- their forces from positions confronting the Ameri cans in order to block the Brit ish path up the east coast. The Goering outfit previously had received a bad mauling at the hands of the Americans. Consequently, heavier oppo sition is expected along the route of the eighth army, and the latest developments indicat ed that the axis commanders have finally decided to commit their main forces in battle to hold the British and Canadians below Catania, 35 miles up the coast from Augusta. Italian divisions, too, were re ported making a more deter mined show of resistance. Goumi Fighting However, new waves of Brit ish and American parachute and glider-borne troops, had carried out what the communique called successful operations and it was disclosed that units of the French army which are now op erating in the battle zone are Gaums, the terror-inspiring pig tailed warriors who fought so effectively along the Mediter ranean coast in Tunisia. - The Germans are believed to have concentrated considerable strength, including tanks and artillery, at the town of Len tini, 13 miles south of Catania and at a road junction where the Catania plain begins. Hard Fighting Hard fighting can be expect ed before the capture of Len tini takes place, it was said. This center of resistance is about five miles from the coast (An NBC correspondent in a radio report from a British cruiser off eastern Sicily, said the British had captured both Lentini and nearby Carlentini. Catania Bombarded (Another bombardment of Catania from the sea, after an earlier shelling the previous dawn, was carried out last night, he said, and an Italian armored train which pushed south of Catania, was forced to with draw by naval artillery. ' ("It was expected that allied troops would be hammering the gates of Catania during the night if not actually entering the city,", he said. His report was dated Wednesday evening. Wall of Flam - (The allied bombardment sent up a solid wall of flame and smoke along 20 miles of the Sicilian coast, he added, and four and six-inch guns were wrenched from their shore em placements). The Americans went forward from the western horn of the allied front through hilly and difficult country to a strategic area protecting the British flank and at the same time threaten ing the enemy rear if he offers battle on the Catania plain. The name of the airdrome captured by the Americans was not given, however, nor were the names announced of any of the other places taken In their advance. CAIRO, July 15 W) Seventy, five heavy United States. Lib erator bombers from the Middle-East command attacked the important Sicilian ferry term inal of Messina in three waves yesterday, pouring more than 400,000 pounds of high explos ives on the battered port, a U.

From the Bremerton, Wash., navy yard's public relations of fice also came the statement that Fonda, awaiting assignment to a combat sone, has denied Mrs. Thompsons allegations. In a press conference at the office of her attorney yesterday Mrs. Thompson told newsmen she met Fonda at Imperial, Calif., in September, 1942, while he was on movie location.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) fight our way bloodily through the mountains. We're already moving in that direction. Mes- Isina was attacked today by 275 of our bombers operating from Africa. With the Catanian air fields in our possession, we'll be able to rain destruction on the Messina ferry to the main land from close at hand. The over-all purpose is to cut the axis forces in Sicily off from reinforcements and supplies from the mainland much the same as we did at Bizerte and Tunis. a AN AP dispatch from allied headquarters In Africa today says the Italians in Sicily aren't showing much fight and that Sicilian civilians are openly wel coming the allies whose caravans are bringing in food, cigarettes and other supplies for the relief of the noncombatant population. JJISPATCHES from the Rus- ian uufc ioaay uacn mat the Russians have halted the Germans everywhere in the Bel gorod sector and have DIS LODGED them from several positions with local counter attacks which are GAINING MOMENTUM daily. Russian eye-witnesses at Bel gorod are quoted as saying: "In all our experience on many fronts, we have never seen Ger man fire as intensive as this. The horizon literally seemed to be on fire." . ' THE point is that if the Ger mans try hugely in Russia and LOSE HUGELY, they'll be in a bad way. Then will be the time for us to launch ANOTHER heavy blow. TN the South Seas, we're closing in today on Mubo, the Jap outpost just south of Salamaua, which is the main Jap position on New Guinea. We're following there the same pattern of extermination we're using at Munda, on New Georgia island which Is the pat tern we developed at Guadal canal and at the Buna-Gona beaches. That Is to say, we first isolate the Japs (largely by means of our air force and our surface navy) from reinforcement and supply and then proceed to starve them out and hunt them down. This pattern, with only slight variations, is obviously being em ployed in Sicily. ered no fighter opposition but that anti-aircraft fire over Mes sina was severe. Great destruction was caused among port and transportation facilities, the report said, direct hits being scored on freight yards and on railway tracks.

GREEN WASHINGTON, July 15 (V) A wartime code of telling prac tices, aimed at discouraging ex cess buying and thus heading off the rationing of clothes, was laid down for textile dealers today by War Production Chief Don aid M. Nelson. The declaration of policy dooms for the duration all "scarcity" advertising and such remarks by store clerks as, "You had better buy several of these we may not get any more. "Sales" Shunned Even the time -honored price comparison appeal "Our price $6.95, regularly $8.95" must be eliminated from advertising un less the sale is a genuine clear ance, and the word "sale" must be shunned. The only permitted price comparison is with the gov ernment celling. The code was worked out with representatives of large and small retailers by Arthur D. Whiteside, director of WPB's of fice of civilian requirements. Self-Regulation "This is the most Important and broadest step in individual commercial self-regulation ever attempted in this country," Whiteside declared In telegrams to merchants' organizations. The government will not po lice stores for enforcement Com' pliance Is voluntary as long as the olan works. Whiteside's teiC' grams hinted at the alternative government control of selling. Adequate Supply The policy declaration starts with the flat statement, "The war production board has estab lished the fact that there is an adequate supply of textiles to meet essential civilian needs To assure equitable distribution of those supplies, it asks retail ers to conform to certain rules, among which are: 1. The use of fear of scarcities as an appeal in promotion and selling efforts shall be eliminat ed. 3. Reference to quantities In production, except In the case of bona fide clearance sales, shall be eliminated. 3. Promotion featuring "sale" prices shall be limited to bona fide clearance sales of not more than the approximate volume and frequency of the part per formance of the particular re tailer.

Beef for Starving, Gas for Pleasure, Predicted by Brown (Continued From Page One) every effort to comply with the direction of tho stabilization act and maintain tho general rela tionship and levels of prices and wages as of September 15, 1942. In cooperation with the other agencies we are aiming at that goal. Thcro has been a six per cent rise since September 13 with a one per cent decline the Inst month. We have hoped for a further decline when the cur rent figures are released."
