In response to a press con

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.

the Russians have halted the

The horizon literally seemed to

TEXTILE SELLING
CODE SET BY WPB
By STERLING F. 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
