Forty-five minutes after the first attack another wave of Fly ing Fortresses laid a new pat tern of bombs over the same yards. All the crews were carefully instructed to avoid historical and religious points by means of large aerial photographs on which such places as Vatican City, St. John La tern n and others wero outlined In red with the legend nearby: "Must on no account bo dumaged." A terrific forco of explosives burst in Rome Rail Traffic Hit The city's railroad yards re cently have been filled to over flowing with vast shipments of war material and detachments of troops probably bound for Sicily to reinforce axis armies there. Although recent allied raids on Naples are known to have disrupted rail communications on that line, the Rome route is un even more vital link in the Italian military supply system, The principal center of Italian aircraft construction and repair also is located In Romo. Reasons Told Prior to the falling of the bombs went leaflets telling Ital ians why tho eternal city had to be attacked because the fascists capitalizing on hallowed pre cincts, had systematically con centrated their war machinery there and tunneled German troops as well as their own through Roman railways. "It Is from this war engine that weapons to kill our soldiers have been coming," the allied message said. "Bombs Always!" Bombs were sway dropped on their targets in broad day light at 11:13 a. m. (2:13 a. m., Pwt). (The bombing was announced by the war department in Wash ington at 2:29 a- m. before the bombers had time to return.) (An Algiers radio broadcast at 2 p. m. 9 a. m., Pwt. said the returning planes were Just then coming back. (A CBS commentator. In a broadcast from Algiers recorded by The Associated Press in Lon don, said "it may be assumed the stUck.was an American op eration.") Early Report It was the first time In this war that a report on a bombing was released before the attack actually started. Correspondents were given the information at 11 a. m- The bomb bay doors were opened in the lead flight of the allied planes 13 minutes later and tho radio operators on the flight informed headquarters Instantly. Tho reason was to forestall or discount a flood of axis propa ganda claiming Rome had been bombed indiscriminately, with lurid and fantastic tales flashed to Catholic countries over the world. Rome is barely 3S0 miles from advanced allied air bases and Mussolini and his fascist chief tains are reported to have lived in terror ot a bombing of their capital since tho turn in the for tunes of war in the Mediterran ean. Office at Capital The fascist chieftain Is report ed to have had several different headquarters arranged in various parts of Italy, but his main of fice remained in the capital. Thousands of Italians had flocked to the capital, believing it would be safe from bombing. The pilots, navigators and bombardiers who made the at tack were hand-picked from among thousands, selected for special qualities in which their military efficiency was only one, and then went through intensive weeks of training by allied in telligence experts who had lived for years in Rome. They memorized a large map of Rome to be sure of their tar gets. They had to take all these precautions because Mussolini had built up a big war machine virtually In the shadow of Va tican City.

July 19 (AP) Chester Bowles ot Essex, Connecticut OPA administrator, has accepted the post of general manager of the national OPA. offered him a week ago by Ad ministrator Prentiss Brown.

In V order to forestall the axis propaganda howl, we announced the details, the methods and the purposes of the attack 13 MIN UTES before it actually began.) pOR several days now, an in teresting show has been stag ed by us on one side and Italy's fascist leaders on the other for the benefit of the Italian people. We're telling the common run of Italians they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by throwing over the racketeers who have delivered them into Germany's slave-driving clutches and coming over to' our side, where they will receive honor able treatment, including restor ation of Italy to the status of a self-respecting nation. Mussolini's fascist crew, which has ALL to lose and NOTHING TO GAIN by Italy's surrender, is shouting that if Italy yields she will be dismembered and her people enslaved the same argu ment that is stiffening the backs of the German people. WHAT the outcome will be, u,,jr tunc ;au leu- We must remember that tho Italian people are already ef fectively enslaved and would have to go to war with their German masters (including the dreaded Gestapo) in order to get free. It means a fight EITHER way. Maybe they'd rather let events take their course and LET US lick the Gestapo. "THE Russians are reported to day to be GETTING BE HIND Orel which is import ant, if true, as one of war's pri mary tactical objectives is get ting into your enemy's rear and hitting him from two sides at once. Fighting is reported today more or less along the WHOLE vast Russian front, probably (if true) designed to pin the Ger mans to their present places and so prevent them from rushing re inforcements to the hot spots, such as Orel. If the Russians are able to do that, they must have A LOT of strength. They claim today the destruc tion of 3900 German tanks and 2000 German planes in the past two weeks ot heavy fighting. ., "THE Japs are still trying to run in supplies to their gar rison at Munda (on New Georgia island) with destroyers, etc., but are having no better luck than at Guadalcanal and the Buna- Gona beaches, our air and sea forces stopping their relief ex peditions and turning them back following our established stra tegy of first isolating them and then starving them out and hunt ing them down.

E TO PINCH OFF NAZLBASTIDN (Continued From Page One) man lines on the Mius river and in the lower Donets basin were foiled by the tenacious defense and counterattacks of nazl forces, the communique added. On the Orel front and north of Belgorod the Germans said they smashed repeated attacks by soviet infan try and tank attacks. The Ger man air force was successful in repelling soviet air attacks, the communique said.) . The soviet midnight communi que reported that the red army had advanced an additional four miles in one sector during the fighting yesterday capturing sev eral villages and killing about 8000 German troops. Tanks Knocked Out The battle, which was intend ed by the Germans to pinch off the Kursk salient and straighten out the line, continued to pile up heavy losses in the nazi ar mored and air divisions, the Rus sians said. They announced they had knocked out 78 tanks and 137 planes on Saturday and said an incomplete check showed 20 more tanks destroyed yesterday to bring German losses to the staggering total of approximate ly 3500 tanks and 2000 planes in the last two weeks. Russian communiques have in dicated during the last two days that red army troops were ad vancing steadily if somewhat slower despite adverse weather conditions. Their reports of the fighting showed that the Ger mans were nipping at the soviet flanks and melting back in the face of determined red army mechanized attack. EIGHT FIRES Sunday lightning caused eight small fires in the vicinity yesterday, Klamath Forest Pro tective association officials re ported today. Largest of the fires was an acre and a half blaze on the side of Buck peak, in the Wey erhaeuser slash. The fire start ed early in the evening and was put out in an all-night fight. A snag fire started in section 18, in the Hilkie slash near Mule hill, and workers fought Monday to extinguish the blaze. Three other snag fires were reported, all on the south side ot Grizzly mountain. Most recently reported of the fires was one in California, just north of the Copco reservoir. Little damage is expected be cause the area is covered with grass and rock and has only scattered timber.. Snag fires were also reported south of Buck lake, and north east of Gerber reservoir. Both these started last night. - No material damage was done by any of the fires be cause of prompt action taken by fire fighting units. Danger in some of these areas was great because of the condition of. the woods and because of the small amount of rain which accompanied the thunder storm. -. Returns South Paul F.

GALTANISSETTA TAKEN BY U.S. (Continued From Page One) Canadian units, jabbing danger ously at the enemy's western flank where it is stretched in front of the roadless area ot Mount Etna, were said in Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's com munique to be gaining import ant ground "with skill and de termination in difficult coun try." These battle-hungry soldiers captured Piazza Armerina, 15 miles directly east of Caltanls setta. One-Third Taken (The Algiers radio, heard by Reuters in London, said allied troops also were in the immedi ate vicinity ot Ramacca, 13 miles east of Piazza Armerina and 22 miles southwest of Catania.) ; In this 10th day of the allied invasion, the combined force had taken from the axis approxi mately one-third of all Sicily, the official war bulletin stated Following the capture of Ag rigento and Porto Empedocle on the south coast, American troops of Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton Jr., were driving north ward, widening the gap be tween the enemy forces, in western and eastern Sicily. Capture Announced The capture of Caltanissetta, eight miles north of the pre ously reported northern point of American advance, was an nounced today at headquarters. It is a highly important town dominating a network of roads and railways running through central Sicily. It is about 28 miles from the south coast and only about 37 miles from the north coast. Hardly 10 miles farther along to the northeast is Enna, de scribed as the strategic center ot the big island. Contact Mad The Canadians and Ameri cans gained contact after their captures of Caltanissetta and Piazza Armerina and both arm ies then turned north in a rapid advance upon Enna, which has been called the "navel of Sicily." Geographically it is almost the' dead center of the island and it is the focal point of vir tually every main highway cut ting through that area. The general line of the ad vance of the. whole front was now approximately even, from the left flank where the Amer icana were attacking, through the center, where the Canad ians were in action, to the right flank where the British were battling.
