To date, 10 generals and two admirals have surrendered. Six Divisions Held It was officially estimated that three and a half German divi sions and three Italian divisions were bottled up in the northeast ern corner of Sicily. One of the nazi units in the Messina bridge head was identified as the 29th division, named for the German unit destroyed by the Russians at Stalingrad. This division was rushed across the Messina Strait in a desperate ' effort to bolster the rearguard action raging along the east coast. Ghosts of Tunisia The ghosts of Tunisia as well as Stalingrad are fighting in Sic ily, for the other two German . divisions are the Hermann Goer- ing and 15th armored division. both named after units destroy ed in Tunisia. The additional half division of Germans is be lieved made up of parachute troops and other elements. South of Catania, a main stronghold of the axis defense. the British eighth army report ed successful patrol activity. Typical of the Sicilian people's rebellion against fascism was an Incident, officlaly reported, in which British parachute troops and an American interpreter dropped behind enemy lines. They went to the 'nearest village in search of food and were greet: ed as liberators and fed with the best the countryside could provide. A local physician at tended one injured trooper. The little detachment remained in the village in perfect safety until an allied advance guard relieved them. Planet Hammer " Allied planet kept up their in cessant hammering, and the axis supply port of Milazzo west of Messina, was blasted Saturday . night with many fires started. Road objectives near Orlando also were hit Three axis aircraft were de stroyed against loss of one allied plane.

The first nazi reaction privately was that there now was no change of their withdrawal even if it had been intended.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) ancient traditions" and so on, "going on with the war." It's eyewash. Italy is licked and knows it. and tired of Mussolini and knows it and tired of Hitler and knows it CHE'S going out of the war as quickly and as easily as she can GET OUT, and it's poor little jittery Victor Emanuel's job to get her out as painlessly as pos sible. She's fortunate to have him there to push the buttons and pull the strings thus (may be) saving her from the blood and terror that are the more or less inevitable accompaniment of revolutions. WHAT is Germany's reaction? Well, you can bet your bot tom dollar that it ISN'T satis faction. 'THE dispatches today tell us the Berlin radio maintained shocked silence for five hours and then observed weakly that Mussolini is out because of his "health." Which is true enough. It wouldn't have been healthy for him to remain much longer in the face of the wreckage that has been wrought by his gang ster rule to Italians generally. When the equivalent wreck age brought by Hitler becomes correspondingly evident to GERMANS, it won't be healthy ior nuier to stay on, either. TF you're old enough to remem ber back to 1917, when Czarist Russia went out of the war on OUR side, you'll know how the Germans are feeling today. we were practically nanlckv. although by that time it was clearly apparent to us that Czarist Russia was about as nearly helpless as Italy Is now. You can be sure the Germans aren leeung good about it JjTTT keep this ALWAYS in JlisJlU, The thing that will brina the uermans to the point the Ital ians have already reached is the shattering knowledge that THEY ARB LICKED. - Our job, now Just as BEFORE Italy's downfall, is to bring that knowledge HOME to them.

The great formations of night raiders scarcely had returned to their bases when fresh squad rons of allied raiders swept out across the English Channel this morning to continue the smash ing aerial offensive the great est in history by daylight. Last night s raids followed a mighty series of round-the-clock blows delivered by both the RAF and the United States eighth air force, British bombers striking at battered Hamburg Saturday night and American airmen hearing destruction on the smoking ruins yesterday in their deepest penetration into Germany. , Essen Vital Center Essen, a vital industrial center in the Ruhr, was last raided by the RAF the night of May 27, More than 1000 tons of explos ives were cascaded into the sprawling K r u p p armament works in that assault Last night's raid was the 57th on Essen one of the most heav ily bombed cities in the world In addition to the 25 bombers listed as missing in the overnight foray, one RAF fighter also fail ed to return home, the air min istry said. 30 UMW Members Indicted Under Anti-Strike Law .

One Italian political source in London, who cannot be further identified, predicted that Italy would be out of the war against the allies within a week. Others were not so optimistic. This source credited the bomb ing of Rome and related events, particularly the Vatican radio's denial of axis propaganda con cerning the raid, for the an nounced "resignation" of Mus solini and his replacement by a veteran, 71-year-old soldier who was one of the dictator's critics and a close friend of the king. People Rally Andrea Simoni. secretary of the Free Italian movement in London, said: 'The king cer tainly rallied many people to his side, some of whom did not like him. Getting Italy out of the war Is naturally extremely popular with the people." ttadogllo s orders placing Italy under siege conditions and stressing that the fascist militia is an "integral part" of the king's forces not political storm troops may be prelimin ary measures looking toward the utter elimination of the fascist party. The new premier strictly oarrea an public meetings and parades, which obviously In cludes fascist party functions.

Firearms Cancelled Firearms permits were can- celled, thus outlawing fascist gunmen Who had he oed Mum. nni terrorize political enemies. The fascist militia, when formed in the early 1920s, owed allegiance only to Mussolini. In 1923 It was incorporated into the army but still took oath to II Duce and not to the king, as aid the rest of the armed forces. In 1940 the militiamen began oam to serve the king as well as tne dictator. Mussolini frequently boasted of the militia as the strong arm oi nis revolution and, in a speech June 24 to the party directorate, asserted that Black- shirts would crush any oppoti tion to his regime. The militia now lnrlurf itaiy s lone armored division. Clare Luce Blames Politics for Removal Roundup" Column GREENWICH. Conn.j July 28 W) Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R- Conn.) charged today that the removal of her column from the China-Burma-India Roundup, a weekly soldier publication in New Delhi, India, war "out and out politics and part of an ob vious policy to keep anti-administration writing and comment from the boys overseas." "It becomes perfectly obvi ous," she asserted, "when you Chfna-Burma?India Roundup, a has been substituted for mine.

POLISH DEFENSES LONDON, July 28 (AP Wladyslaw Banaczyk, minister of home affairs of the Polish government-in-exile, said today he had information that the Germans were preparing de fense lines in Lublin province in Poland, roughly 400 miles be hind their present line in Rus sia. He said his underground in formant reported that all road, rail and telephone communica tion had been suspended be tween Lublin province and the rest of Poland and that mass murders were being committed by the Germans to rid the area of its Polish population. He estimated In the entire war to May 1 that 1,800,000 Polish Jews and 1,400,000 other Poles were killed by the Ger mans. ' "In the event the fall ot Mussolini breaks down tho whole fascist system, Poland may have to take up arms very soon," Banaczyk told a press conference, "We are prepared.

Little Relief From Beer Owners of dry throats have found Utile relief by turning to beer, which la likewise acutely short. While local dispensaries are generally turning to "beer lens Thursdays" as one means of meeting the situation, some ot the grocery stores are limit ing package purchases to threat stubbles or one-half gallon pe customer. While observers said the whiskey shortagea may be somewhat more acute in Ore gon than certain other states, the national picture was de scribed Monday as "discourag ing" for liquor consumers. Frank Report The Conference of Alcoholic Beverage Industries. Inc., of New York City, put out a re port frankly discussing the sit uation. It pointed out the fol lowing facts: Not a single drop of whiskey Is being distilled In the country today, and none has been dis tilled since 1042. Existing sup plies must last until after the war. War Uses Distilling facilities are work- Ing night and day, seven days aO week, producing nothing but alcohol for war purposes for the government. The entire in dustry converted to this func tion in answer to critical war requirements, for smokeless powder, chemical warfare ma terials, medical supplies and synthetic rubber. At of February 28, 1043, there were 404.000,000 gallons of whiskey In storage, enough to last about two years at the present rote of demand. Conservation It regarded as the only possible answer to as sure retailers and consumers a reasonable supply of alcoholic beverages for the duration of the war. Many state monopolies (such as Oregon) have already put rationing plant Into effect. in open states, voluntary ra tioning Is being adopted by wholesalers and retailers. Equal Distribution Every effort Is being made to distribute supplies equitably and to avoid discrimination. In some states, a temporary ad vantage was gained because wholesalers and retailers used every possible financial re source to stock up prior to the conversion of distilleries Into war production. The beverage conference re port voiced the opinion that "If consumers will buy moderately and drink moderately, thev will assure themselves a reasonable supply of whiskey for all normal needs." Every one concerned, the conference said, Is entitled to know the facts.
