enemy wet establishing a strong
defense line on the approaches
to Naples from the south and
east, but the extent of their
demolitions in and near the city
appeared evidence that the Ger
mans hoped to hold back allied
attack toward the city from the
Salerno area.
Fights East
The 5th army meanwhile
fought its way steadily east and
northeast from Salerno with
American troops capturing the
towns of Campagna and Monte-corvino-Rovella
while the Brit
ish chased fleeing Germans from
the town of San Cirpriano.
On Corsica French soldiers
and native patrols pursued a
German garrison estimated at
12,000 men toward the eastern
shores while American Libera
tor bombers blasted at the prin
cipal avenue of German evacua
tion from theisland the- Cor
sican harbor of Bastla and the
Italian port of Leghorn.
Nothing to Add
The miltary spokesman said
he had "nothing to add" to
Winston Churchill's statement
yesterday that American troops
had landed on Sardinia, but the
belief prevailed here that what
ever units were sent to that
Island intended only to co-operate
with an Italian division
which already at Premier Pietro
Badoglio's command took con
trol and compelled the Germans
to flee.
Another menace to the Ger
mans on the Italian mainland,
Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgom
ery's 8th army, drove northward
and inland and occupied the key
highway and rail center of Po
tenia. '
Occupation of Potenxa, which
la a Junction point of five main
roads, gave the allies control of
the entire inland highway and
rail systems south of a line ex
tending eastward from Salerno.

bulletin, were they able to halt
the surging red army tide."
r ET'S turn now from fighting
" to POLITICS.
TN London today, Anthony
Eden "discloses that Rudolph
Hess (then No. 2 nasi) told the
Duke of Hamilton (on whose
estate in Scotland he landed by
plane) that the foehrer (Hitler)
"does not want to defeat Eng
land, and he wants to stop fight
ing."
That has been kept a dark
secret for two years.
WHY is it "disclosed" now?
-r
UERE'S a guess:
Hess flew to England in
an effort to make a separate
peace with Britain so that Hit
ler could GO AFTER RUSSIA
FOR BLOOD, with nobody at
his back door to be afraid of.
That was kept secret for two
years. The fact that Eden "dis
closes" it now must have some
particular significance at this
time.
So let's guess again:
Britain, right now, must want
very much to prove to Stalin
that she STOOD BY HIM in a
grave pinch two years ago.
Why RIGHT NOWT
WE'LL have to go on guessing:
Stalin, for realistic reas
ons of his own, prefers to keep
us and the British (especially
the British) OUT of the Balkans
presumably being confident of
his OWN ability to handle the
Germans down that way and
preferring to keep himself free
from entanglements when the
time comes (after the war) to
go after what Russia WANTS
FOR HERSELF such as warm
water ports, "buffer" states, etc.
TF these guesses are anywhere
near the truth, they mean
that the much-discussed "second'.'
front has its POLITICAL side.
That is to say, Stalin wants
us to do our fighting in western
Europe and STAY OUT of the
Balkans because, if w HELP
HIM lick the Germans DOWN
THERE we (especially the Brit
ish) will have a legitimate claim
to some of the spoils of victory.
If he licks the Germans alone,
Russia will have SOLE claim to
the spoils.
The British want what they
regard as their legitimate share
of the spoils In that part of the
world.'
'--" ,
QNE dislikes to deal with spec
ulation of this sort, but his
tory tells us very plainly indeed
that in world wars, participated
in by many nations, political
considerations are always pres
ent in the minds of the- higher
ups.

Marshall Nomination
Sets Up Storm of
Hitler's Fortress
(Continued From Page One)
"Marshall would be one of the
best leaders in the world for such
a post." Unofficial comment
generally was favorable.
Assure Cooperation
Marshall's projected appoint
ment, particularly with respect
to the European theater, is de
signed to assure close coordina
tion among all the armies now
in action as well as those slated
for assault on what Mr. Roose
velt said would be shown in due
time to be the vulnerable parts
of Hitler's fortress.
Such coordination has been
supplied to date by the combined
chiefs of staff, of which Marshall
is a principal member. But mil
itary observers have long expect
ed that when the time for numer
ous and large scale actions ap
proached this remote control sys
tem would be supplanted by a
single, on-the-spot director.
Juvenile hearing for the 17-year-old
boy, who with John
Hearron Jr., is charged with
rape, has been set for September

The two boys allegedly as

enticing her from a Malin skat
ing rink.
John Hearron Jr., is out of jail
under $1000 cash bail awaiting
grand jury action.
