The campaign still was less than six weeks old. Take Taormlna The British captured Taor mlna, strategic harbor and road junction on the east coast S3 miles by road from Messina; Castiglione, eight miles inland; and the town of Kaggi. (Admitting that axis force are quitting Sicily, the Berlin radio declared nevertheless, in a broadcast recorded by NBC, that the Messina strait was Heavily guarded and firmly in German hands.

The thrust through Barcellona essentially isolated both Milaa so and the sandy cape bearing it name. Forward elements of Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's eighth army were lesa than 19 miles from Messina. Line Advances The joint British and Ameri can line running through cen tral Sicily was slightly farther away, but was advancing at about the same rate as the allied forces on- the flanks. Captured documents showed that the Germans, as usual, left Italians to cover their defeat. It was indicated that only some units, of an Italian coastal di vision confronted the eighth army north of Taormlna. The Italians had been ordered to hold a five-mile line running inland from Roccalumera, 18 miles south of Messina, the docu ments disclosed. The British probably will rip through the positions as if they were made of butter. ; Ma "Front" In the usual sense, the Sicilian front" no longer exists.

By EARL WHITLOCK If you've been worrying about any depression that's go ing to hit the country after the . war, set your mind at rest. I have just seen one product I suppose it will sell for about $1,000, that 10,- 000,000 men are going to want and they are not going to be complete ly nanny until they get it, either. That is the Amphibian Jeep. And what a wagonl A steel boat body on that tough Jeep chassis, rather shovel nosed. A turtle back deck. And the wheels are recessed for about half their diameter, up into the bottom of the boat. I didn't see how it is propelled possibly that's a military secret, as yet. -But every man who has flick ed a fish line over water, every man who has taken up a cold gun and gone after game of an early morning, is going to yearn for one. And there's ten billion dollars worth of busi ness ready for the manufactur ers to take on, in that one item alone. ' Someone tells me the army slang for these contraptions is "Seeps." . Imagine a tough, little buggy that will take you anywhere, through . dense woods where there's no road or up the face of a mountain. And then, when you get to that stream or lake, there, away back or beyond, it will jump In and carry you across or it will swim you around for an hour's trolling. 'And again I say "What a wagonl" Next Monday Mr. Whitiock of the Earl Whitiock Funeral home will comment on Gaining full Satisfaction...

(Fathers as a class become sub ject to induction after October 1, it previously had been an nounced). Few standards were establish ed governing the transfer of civilian workers from job to job, with the aim of facilitating trans fers from less essential to more essential war jobs. McNutt Announcement In announcing the sweeping new regulations Saturday night, McNutt said: . . 'The time has come when every worker must justify him self in terms of his contribution to the war effort "The necessary allocation of additional men with critical skills to war jobs and the fail ure of many thousands of men in critical labor shortage areas to transfer to war work have placed practical limits on our ability to fill military calls with safety to the war production program." BALTIMORE, Aug. 16 W) Federal Judge W. Calvin Ches nut ruled today that two married men inducted Into the armed services from Worcester county while single men still were avail able are entitled to be released, but said the decision would not prevent later and proper induc tion. Judge Chesnut handed down his opinion in granting habeas corpus writs in the cases of Stan ley Gilmer Bayly, who will be 38 in November, and Roland Frank Bevins, 36, both of Pocomoke City and both childless. The men tiled, habeas corpus pro ceedings, contending they were improperly inducted July 28. OPA Moves Out Professors; Plan Outlined (Continued From Page One) hoped to reorganize OPA into four major divisions: 1, retail distribution; 2, food; 3, an indus trial division; 4, materials and fuels. Bowles said he believed 93 per cent of compliance with OPA's orders would "be done voluntar ily; by industry and business." "We have all greatly underrated Industry's ability at self enforce ment," he added, Engineer Charged With False Facts In Navy Contracts WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 UP) Attorney General Francis Blddle announced that a federal grand jury" here returned an indict ment today charging William Scrlmgeour, Washington, D. C, engineer and contractor, with making false statements to the government in connection with navy contracts. The indictment also charges that Maxwell and C.
