PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON July 16. 1943 BRITISH NEAR CATANIA COASTAL PUSH (Continued From Page One) with, and that thereafter the en emy would be obliged to fight a defensive rearguard action while conducting a withdrawal from the island. Unable to Halt Fleet The axis appeared powerless to keep the allied fleet in check as it gave strong seaward sup port to Montgomery s right flank and bombarded the enemy's coastal positions at will. The 15th German armored di vision was believed to be a col lection of German units which had been assembled to go to Tunisia before its fall. It was then given the name of the en emy division that was wiped out in the Tunisian fighting. Hot struggle was reported in land about 23 miles from the east coast of Vizzini, one of the newly captured towns. British Control Town This town on a vital second line of communications upon which the axis had been obliged to fall back, changed hands sev eral times before the British got it securely in their control. Continuation on the advance from Vizzini would quickly men ace the towns of Militello and S cord la at the western entrance of the Catania plain. At Lentinl the British already were fighting at the , southern edge or that plain. (The Rome radio, in a broad east recorded In London, said "the real and true decision for the island will be reached in a new battle which hat already virtually started in the Catania plain." - ' " - Sever Lotus "Severe losses were inflicted upon the enemy" by the Amer ican seventh army of Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., which "advanced several miles across difficult hill country and cap tured further Important posi tions," the communique added. Although the headquarters bulletin said the "speed of the advance is very satisfactory" it called attention to the limiting factor of allied . transport and supporting weapons at this stage of the operations. Naples Battered An assault in the last 24 hours on Naples, comparable to the previous day's strike at Messina, .turned a two-mile long, . mile wide waterfront area of the big gest Italian port city Into a smoking inferno. An ammunition train explod ed and docks, .warehouses and locomotives burned furiously, and smoke hung in the air to a height of 20,000 feet after the arsenal was hit. This was after bombers hit the port Wednesday night, attack' Ing airdromes, docks and rail way facilities, and after unes corted Flying Fortresses had continued the assault by day light Palermo Dock Hit Palermo docks also were se verely pounded by medium bombers during the day, and Pa terno, a focal point of enemy communications, came In for a heavy blow by night - Meanwhile, approximately 70 Liberators from the Middle East were said In a United States communique to have "made a flaming shambles of the main and two satellite" airfields at Foggia on the spur of the Italian boot Flying in three . waves, the Liberators dropped nearly 400, 000 pounds of high explosives, fragmentation and incendiary bombs, covering parts of the main airfield with bursts, and burning at least 30 planes at all three airdromes. Fires Started The Liberators also started huge fires in wooded areas. Four-engined RAF Halifaxes from the Middle East continued the assault on Messina Wednes day night, finding fires still rag ing that had been set in the previous 24 hours. In a steady attrition of enemy shipping, allied planes torpedoed a large merchantship off the north coast of Sardinia, and se verely damaged at least three others. Let's Go DANCING THIS SAT.

As maneuvers progress high ranking army officers, many of them already veterans of the bat tlefields, will be on the sidelines as observers. Final Conditioning Officers emphasized that the rigid training under combat con ditions constitute the final con ditioning or "college graduate" course of these 'northwestern troops, fitting them for action anywhere in the world. Two units already are sta tioned on the outskirts of Bend Headquarters of the command ine general are here. Motorists were requested to dim lights and reduce speed when approaching a convoy at night during the maneuvers. They also were asked always to watch for foot soldiers along the roads. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) stopped in about a week and a half of bitter fighting. News of its progress is scanty, as is usually the case at the be ginning of big Russian move ments, but It Is announced today that the red army has penetrated 28 miles through German de fenses studded with pillboxes. has taken 110 towns and has killed 12,000 Germans. KTOTE that this offensive is . carefully timed with our at tack on Sicily, indicating that our forces are co-operating with the Russians in what appears to be a complete understanding. That, in itself, marks a lot oz progress in the conduct of the war by our side. m m m AS more or less forecast in yesterday's dispatches, Mubo (in New Guinea) is taken. Some 950 Japs are Wiled. U. S. and Australian troops are reported today to be within five miles of Salamaua, which is about half way from Mubo to the Japs' principal remaining position in New Guinea. Other interesting news from the South Pacific: Eighty Jap planes attack Rendova today. FORTY-FIVE of them are shot down. .. , . . . ' 'HE home front news that didats in 1944 is no more excit ing than the previous news that FDR is willing to be a candidate for the fourth time in 1944. Both had been taken for granted.

A lot of common, ordinary voters (but NOT quite enough) did like him in 1940. Opinion changes rapidly in these days, so it's hard to say how the land lies now.

UNENDORSED II GAS PORTLAND. July 16 (Pi Failure to indorse all the gaso line coupons in your new A mileage ration book may result in their confiscation, District OPA Director Richard G. Mont gomery warned today. Acting on new orders from Washington, he instructed his enforcement division to assign inspectors to examine coupon books of motorists making gasn. line purchases on and after July 22. All coupons must be indorsed on the face before any gasoline is purchased, Montgomery said. At present, coupons must be in dorsed on the back as they are used.

Montgomery explained the new regulations are for protec tion against misuse in event of loss, and that the same indorse ment will be required after July 22 for class B. C. D. T-l and T-2 books, regardless of date of is sue. Surrender or Destruction of Italy Asked by FDR (Continued From Page One) Italian soil and bringing the tragic devastation of war home to the Italian people. They added that they were determined, however, to "des troy the false leaders and their doctrines which have brought Italy to her present position." The release of the joint state ment which followed several informal invitations in recent months that Italy get out of the war, was the signal for a pro paganda drive which included the dropping of thousands of leaflets on Italy by allied bomb ers in addition to beaming the message to the people of Italy by radio. LONDON, July 16 UP) The Berlin radio, in the first al re action to today's message from president Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the Italian people, quoted "Ber lin circles" as saying it was "typically Anglo American making political capital from certain initial military successes in the false assumption that a wedge could be driven between Germany and Italy."

I NOW PLAYING B 2nd Big Hit H mot mzm JOAN HIM SALAMUA GATE CAPTURED BY (Continued From Page One) New Guinea In mid-Jamiary by destroying a Japanese army of 18,000, Australians had moved through the jungle north more than 150 miles toward Sala maua. But they found tho Jap anese entrenched on Observa tion hill. Green hill, the Pimple and other Hubo strongpolnts. From spring until the current offensive, it was a stalemate. General in Charge Today's communique from General MacArthur. who now Is in the field in New Guinea in personal charge of the cam paign, disclosed that the Amer icans who moved inland from Nassau bay joined the Austral ians July 10 at Bulgap creek, cutting communications and Iso lating the Japanese on Obser vation and Green hills. Observation hill was overrun after 106 tons of bombs fell among its demoralized defend ers in less than 45 minutes from allied planes. From front and rear, other enemy defenses at Mubo were stormed. Our ground forces have now cleared the Mubo area of all organized enemy resistance and are pressing on Komlatum (five miles from Salamaua)," the com munique said. "Approximately 930 enemy troops were destroyed. Our losses were light." y A 23-year-old transient, Wil liam Franklin Behymer Tippett charged with sodomy, was in the city jail 30 minutes after the alleged act had been com mitted Thursday. The alleged incident involved a 7-year-old local girl who had stopped to talk to the man who was sitting in a truck on East Main street. The little girl later ran home and told her mother. who immediately called city po lice. Tippett was arrested and placed in the city jail. He was later transferred to the county jail under $2300 bond after waiving preliminary hearing in justice court. Grass Valley Man Surrenders After Killing Neighbor GRASS VALLEY. Calif., July 18 p) William Totten, 52, sur rendered at the county jail last night after he shot and killed H. McVean. 40. in nearby Hills Flat Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen reported. The sheriff said Totten, a world war veteran suffering from permanent war injuries, mistakenly believed that Mc Vean, a neighbor, was attempt ing to obtain possession of the residence of Mrs. Mary Field, 82, Totten's aunt Local Tire Quota Gone, Relief Hoped The local quota for grade one tires has been exhausted and persons who have made applica tion and have received no re sponse from the war price and rationing board were given this reason for the lack of attention to their applications. Reasons for the shortage were listed as seasonal needs, includ ing those of farmers, and the use of the local supply by transients on their way to defense jobs who otherwise would be strand ed here. Relief in this situation is being called for by the board, and it is hoped that the quota may be extended.

Seems that liquor rationing has sent a lot of people, off the hard stuff to tho lighter bock or lager. And then, beer Is not sold In the Oregon and Washington army camp PXs, and the boys wait until they got lo town to fill their steins. Stop Shipments West Eastern breweries mo dl.icon tinulng shipments of beer to the west coast at tho suggestion of the boys who would like the spiico for more vital war mater ial. So that leaves tho west coast producers trying to satisfy the thirst of thousands upon thous ands of newcomers to this area where defense Industries have attracted mid-west and east country folk. The breweries In Oregon, California and Washing ton are working at such a pace to keep up with the demand that their tongues are literally hang ing out. nnd not time enough to stop and swish down a couple of bottles themselves. Milts to Brewery It's 385 miles to the nearest brewery from Klnmath Falls, dis tributors here observed, and at that Oregon produces less than 23 per cent of the beer consumed In the state. Pretty soon that companion able .little question, "How about a beer?" will be but an echo of another day. From Portland comes a story proposing that re tall sales of beer be stopped at 10 p. m. Instead - of midnight, daily, and that they are not per mitted to open until 1 p. m. Sun day instead of the present 7 a. m. This is the 4-bottle headache which faces the state liquor con trol board. It comes from the Tavern Owners association of Oregon. Inc., and was embodied In a letter signed by Edward A. MacLean. secretary. The com mission ordered an Investigation to determine how many and what types of operations would be affected. The changes would be for the duration of the war.
