STORMS GATES
OF CATANIA
(Continued From Page One)
three rivers In the Catania plain,
the British stolidly held a line
running from the sea westward
In the direction of Ramaeca.
They were within at least three
milei of Catania.
The German Goerlng grena
dier regiment and nazi para
chute troops used with infantry
were thrown into the continuing
battle and suffered heavily, it
was reported.
Knockout Expected
Some headquarters observers
did not view the British pause
outside Catania as a temporary
check, but as a buildup for a
knockout blow to carry through
that port to Messina 60 miles up
the coast.
Possibly explaining the whole
sale Italian surrenders and re
ports of mutinies, it was stated
that at least half the 35,000 axis
prisoners "so far captured were
born in Sicily. '
The U. S. seventh army of
Lieut Gen. George S. Patton Jr.,
was wttnin ou miles or raiermo,
the leading north coast port of
Sicily, and was cutting a wide
swath through the heart of the
enemy line, encountering al-
most total lack of resistance" by
Italians, an official statement
aid.
Mutinies Reported
Mutinies among the Italian
units led by German officers was
one of the gravest signs yet re
ported of ultimate axis collapse
in Sicily.
Some Italian units already re
portedly have killed German
commanders who tried to pre
vent their surrender.
General Glullo Cassera Gotto
Poreinari, commander of the
84th Napoli division, has been
captured, the fourth division
commander to be taken. Gen
eral Poreinari had been sent
back to Sicily as a failure as a
field commander in Libya.
Canadian forces advancing
north of Piazza Arminera were
confronted by units of the resus
citated German 15th armored
division in strong opposition, but
they "continue to fight their way
forward-
Push Expected
ax tatania, eighth army
troops "are gathering strength
and armored patrols are probing
me defenses of axis troops
strongly established at the foot
of Mt Etna to bar the narrow
coastal route.
, Thus in preparation was a
nighty push which some ob
servers said might reach to the
Messina Strait almost as quickly
as the eighth army advanced
from Cape Passero to the gates
of Catania. Once Catania falls,
there is no strong place for an
axis ftand short of Messina.
(Fierce -.battles in which great
numbers of British parachutists
were wiped out were reported by
the German radio).
.Catania again was bombed,
with one raid starting fires over
a square block. Randozzo, north
west of Mt Etna and an enemy
concentration point, were heav
ily pounded by 46 tons of bombs.

ence between complacency and
the will to produce."
Wilson also reported that steel
production had suffered by about
300,000 tons in the past 30 days
as a result of the coal strike and
"We've got to make it up or lose
ships." Navy and maritime pro
duction schedules, he said, were
based on an additional million
tons of steel in the third quarter
of this year and another million
tons additional in the fourth
quarter.

PACIFIC FI9HT
FURJESjN NORTH
(Continued From Page One)
delivered their long expected at
tack on Paramushiro and Secre
tary Knox was asked at a press
conference whether he could
comment.
He declined to affirm or deny
the reports.
The communique announcing
the precedent-setting raid also
disclosed that in the central
area of the South Pacific Japa
nese planes bombed Canton is
land Sunday without causing
personnel casualties or material
damage.
Canton Raid
Canton had previously been
attacked in a night raid March
23. It is in the Phoenix group
southwest of Pearl Harbor and
about 650 nautical miles north
of Samoa.
Also on Tuesday a formation
of army heavy and medium
bombers attacked the Japanese
positions on Kiska island in the
Aleutians, directly northwest of
Amchitka. The blows were dl
rected at the enemy's main
camp and his defenses about
Gertrude cove. Due to overcast,
results were not observed.
Weather Break
A spokesman, discussing the
Paramushiro raid said the fliers
got a great break in the clear
weather. They were able to pour
destruction on their targets with
precision. Ordinarily Paramush
iro, like the Aleutian islands in
the North Central Pacific, is
tog-bound.
The northernmost of the Kur
ile islands of any importance is
about 12 miles wide by 55 miles
long. It is rugged and dotted
with mountain peaks going up
to nearly 6000 feet
Military Positions
The military positions are re
ported to be on the northern
tip of the island where a strait
separates. Paramushiro from
Shumushu island, which at its
northern end is but a few miles
from the Russian peninsula of
Kamchatka.
What the Japanese have at
Paramushiro has never been re
ported. Presumably they have
installed airfield facilities, since
during the battle of Attu their
planes twice showed up to at
tack American shipping and
must have come from the vicin
ity of the northern Kuril es.
Equally important as any di
rect military damage, in the
opinion of observers here, is the
psychological value of not only
threatening but actively attack
ing the Japanese along the
northern arch of their defenses
as well as in the south.

lands of Celebes and Borneo-
They remained over the target
for FIVE hours, indicating quite
a force.
At the same time the navy an
nounces that a "formation" of
Liberators has bombed the Jap
base at Paramushiro, In the
Kurtle islands at the far north
ern edge of the Jap Island em
pire. (A formation might be a
dozen or so planes.)
(These long flights are a warn
ing to Tokyo to LOOK OUT.)
WflTH the news from all over
the world so good that
Churchill said a few days ago
it scares him to read it. Navy
Secretary Knox and Vice-Ad-miral
Home hold a press confer
ence In Washington whose ob
vious purpose is to warn us to
stop, look and listen.
Horne "reveals " that the navy
is planning a war against Japan
to last until 1949.
Knox points out that after all
Sicily is only on OUTPOST.
Home adds: "We re doing a
good deal of wishful thinking in
expectation of a collapse in Ger
many. There is likely to be no
such morale collapse in the Ger
man army as in 1918 because
German soldiers have been
trained In Hitlcrism and separ
ated from family connections
through which a spirit of defeat
was transmitted In the last war."
Both point out that we still
have opposed to us in Europe a
veteran army of seven million to
eight million men.
NOX says: "All this talk
about an early ending of the
war is wishful thinking- Already
it has caused a let-up in produc
tion whose effects we're begin
ning to feel."
That, he says truthfully, is
little short of criminal.
HARLES E. WILSON, execu
tive vice chairman of the
war production board, who had
merely dropped into the confer
ence aa a spectator, puts In his
oar to say that "we ought to
have produced 8500 planes this
month, but it seems now that we
won't get anything like that."
He adds that steel production
has suffered by about 300,000
tons in the past 30 days as a
result of the coal strike, and
"we've got to make that up or
LOSE SHIPS."
TJ7HAT these officials of our
guvei mucin ai c iciiiug; us la
all prefectly sound. The actual
end of the war isn't yet even
FAINTLY In sight" The; news
sounds so unbelievably good
merely because for the first time
in nearly four long years the
axis nations are BEGINNING to
be hit hard.
They might turn yellow, of
course, and crumple up, as the
Germans did in 1918, but we
can't build war plans on any
such hope as that
The only safe policy In war
time is to hope for the best and
PREPARE FOR THE WORST.
TTiE trouble with the perfectly
- iuuu auvm given us u
Knox and Horne is that we may
disregard it because of the feel
ing that were Just being
"handled" fed now with pessi
mistic news to keep us feeling
TOO good.
Rightly or wrongly, most
Americans feel that in the past
they ve been told only what
somebody at the top thinks is
good for them to know Instead
of being given the hard, cold,
often disconcerting facts-
That policy, as much as any
thing else. Is responsible for the
present unfortunately wide
spread feeling that the war is
about all over but the shouting.

Bombing
More than 50 of the accurate

showered on the rail Installa
tions were said officially to
have struck the Littorla rail
switching yards. Roundhouses
in both the Llttoria and San
Lorenzo yards were hit.
"An ammunition train mov
ing through the yards received
several direct hits and explod
ed, contributing to the destruc
tion," said an allied headquar
ters communique.
It added that "a great deal of
rolling stock and many railroad
Installations were destroyed."
The five planes lost in the at
tack were from the squadrons
which struck from North Af
rica. The Cairo communique
said not a single plane was lost
from the Middle East formations
participating in the raid.

Catch Japs Fiat-Footed
The Liberator assault on
Macassar caught the Japanese
flat-footed. The town was well
lighted and there was no anti
aircraft fire as the first flight
of four-engined bombers swept
over the target.
How many planes participat
ed in the mission was not dis
closed but the number was great
enough to keep bombers over
the target for five hours. Their
base also was not mentioned,
but Darwin. Australia, is about
1000 miles from Macassar. The
communique reported no losses.
Archbishop Regrets
Bombing of Romo
DETROIT, July 20 (P) The
Most Rev. Edward Mooney, arch
bishop of Detroit, and chairman
of the administrative board of

conference, In a statement today
expressed "surprise and regret"
at the bombing of Rome, but
added that the fascist govern

bombing unnecessary.
The fascist government, the
archbishop said, "could have de
clared Rome an open city and
acted In sincere conformity with
that declaration."

Black Market
Hoover charged that the Brit
isher "also was interested In the
'black market' In United States
dollars in Latin America."
"The platinum smuggled by
members of the ring," Hoover
said, "was purchased from Ille
gal dealers In Colombia and
smuggled to Argentina through
Intermediaries In Lima, Peru,
Quito, Ecuador, and Santiago,
Chile. Ebury designed a special
belt similar to a canvas money
belt for the use of his agents in
smuggling activities. The preci
ous metal, which is essential In
modern warfare and appears to
be critically lacking In axis na
tions, apparently was smuggled
on board neutral vessels at Buen
os Aires."
The dollar market is profitable
In South America. Hoover said
"in view of restrictions on spend
ing and possessing United States
currency, designed to prevent
axis agents from unloading
American dollars seized by Ger
mans in the Invaded countries
of Europe."
The FBI announced It had
been watching Ebury since Aug
ust, 1940, when, it said, he re
turned to the United States from
the Far East with $10,000 In
Japanese currency which later
was sent to Buenos Aires.
