OPA Seeks to Bring All Food Distributors in Closer
 Cooperation With Price Regulation Plan

Boston, July 6-Launching pro- gram designed to bring every retail grocer in the New England states into closer cooperation with the general price regulation of the OPA, leaders in the retail food distribu- tion field will meet with regional and state OPA officials Wednesday at 3:3O p. m. at IT Court street to map their campaign for 100 per cent compliance with the price ceil- ing order.
 The ready response to a request by Kenneth B. Backman, regional OPA administrator, for voluntary participation by New England gro- cers in this program, was hailed as 8 model for more widespread parti- cipation by retailers generally in the three -cornered war being waged on imitation by the American consumer, the retailer, and their government, in announcing the meeting today.
 In process of formation, Back man said, is the New England Food Industry committee which will function locally throughout New England to acquaint every retail grocer in the six states with the importance of his task in the criti- cal home battlefront against rising prices.
 Under the program worked out by George R. Taylor, OPA regional price executive, the Advisory Food committee and an additional group of leading retail grocerymen will form local groups to meet with and advise every grocer in the region on means of greater compliance with the price ceiling regulation.

CHILDREN FACING
 CRITICAL TIMES
Orphaned" By Parents Engaged in War Work
 Require Special Care

New Haven, Conn.,, July 6.-Call- ing attention to the fact that chill dren, as well as adults, are ex- periencing critical times, the Con- necticut State Medical society to- day pointed out some of the new problems in child care in this state as a result of the war.
 "The care of children who are temporarily orphaned during the hours in which both parents work in war industries, must receive great CT attention" said the spokesman of the society.
 Many Connecticut communities have recognized this problem and are making plans to house children of working parents in child care cen- ters operated by community health and welfare agencies with super vision by responsible persons.
 Since such centers are frequently unable to meet all the demands placed on them as a result of the war, parents must provide other careful supervision. Children must have their hours of play regulated with rest periods enforced. They must be guarded against accidents and it is necessary to maintain regu- larity of meals with nutritious diet including plenty of milk.'
 Tn addition, the change from the orderly routine of the home to new surroundings and people may cause conflicts in the minds of children Working parents also are tired phy- sically as well as mentally at the end of the day, and changes in chill dren which might have been ob- served under ordinary circumstances may escape detection"
 The war, it is pointed out, has compelled many families to share their living quarters with others This overcrowding helps the inter- change of disease-bearing germs. It becomes increasingly important that all children must be protected now against smallpox, diphtheria and whooping cough by their doctors.

DEC|CCO HELD
 ENEMY ALIEN
Judge Smith Holds Detens ton, of Former Italian
 Consul Legal

Pasquale DeCicco, 62, former 1tal- ian vice-consul at New Haven Is moi an American citizen and is there. fore legally held in custody as dangerous enemy alien, according to a ruling in federal court Saturday by Judge J. Joseph Smith.
 DeCicco, who was defended by Attorney Edward Mascolo of Water bury, is being detained at Boston Judge Smith held in an 11-page de. cision that DeCicco's American cit izepship terminated on his re-entry into the army of the kingdom of Italy in 1915" He held that DeCicco is "a native, citizen, or subject of the kingdom of Italy"
 Judge Smith also pointed out that DeCicco had received two Fascits citations from the Italian govern ment as a result of injuries received when attacked in this country by anti-Fascists on two occasions.
 '"The controlling question in this case" Judge Smith said, lis the effect on his American citizenship of his return to Italy, his entry in the Italian army in 1915 and his subsequent service on Italian missions in London and Wash ington as an official of the Italian government"
 T hold that his reentry into Italian military service in 1915, under the Italian law then in ef- feet, repatriated him as an Ital- ian citizen and this repatriation is naturalization within the meaning of the act of 1907. His acceptance of employment by the state, with the Italian missions to London and Washington, would have had this effect if the reentry into the Army had not taker place."
 DeCicco denied that he took an oath of allegiance in 1915. On this point, Judge Smith stated that This voluntary submission to mili- tary service, required of him un- der the oath taken in 1900, must be considered as, in effect, the taking of an oath of allegiance within the meaning of the act of 1907."

 UNIFORM DECEPTION
 PLAN FAILS
 At length the troops completed their weeks of intensive training training designed to give each sol- dier the maximum possible safety To make the deception complete when they are ready to sail, the men are embarked with full tropical kit. Word is purposely allowed to slip out that the convoy will go to Arabia.
 When this information reaches German intelligence, the officers shake their heads. Tt looks as though we've been wasting our time. The 95th Brigade is evidently joining the convoy going east. We shall know as soon as the mosaic arrives"
 On. board the Commando ships, the commanding officers can merely guess wo much CT little the enemy knows. One is worried. He recalls that shortly after the 95th arrived at Watercombe, a German recon naissance plane was sighted. Odd about that plane," he muses. q gather that Jerry hadn't visited this part of the world for months If they have any reason to believe Still, I hope I'm wrong"
 All too soon he finds out that he isn't wrong. As soon as the Ger mans had received the mosaic, they knew the Commando objective. Re- Inducements were ordered rushed to Norville. They arrive almost as soon as the Commandos.

The landing is accomplished noisleessly, untitled under the mon- otonouS slap of surf on shore. As they hurry across the pebbled beach the Commandos let no sound betray them. Their success depends on surprise.
 Yet surprise is lacking. A British reconnaissance plane, dipping low through the dawn, spots many Ger man tanks and heavy reinforce ments hurrying towards Norville "The brigade has landed. Great danger" he radios a naval unit sup porting the landing party.
