Fortified Sections in Eng land Are Now Being
 Evacuated NEW BLOWS TO BE
 STRUCK AT HITLER
Many Phases of Entire Sif- uation Are Given
 Out Today

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Great Brit ain began clearing all non-residents from her barricaded coastal areas today as the conviction gripped the nation that the hour is near for powerful new blow at Hitler's European fortress.
 Invasion talk is heard every where, amid cries from both Great Britain and Russia for a speedy opening of a second front.
 From every angle, the new moves appeared directed toward invasion, but whether from the Mediter- ranean, through the Balkans or across the English Channel is the secret of the Allied war chiefs.
 Significant however, are these de- velopments;
 1.-Heavy repeated American air raids on Axis airfields in France, the natural targets as a prelude to any new offensive.
 2-Declaration of state Of siege in Norway by apparently jit- tery German Occupation authori- ties
 3.-Virtual isolation of Italy by severance of that country's tele- phone and telegraphic communica- tions with Switzerland, giving rise to the belief that important deyel- opments might be in the offing. Z Dispatches from the Swiss bor- der town of Chiasso quote tn e Swiss telegraphic agency as saying the situation throughout Italy "re- mained grave with possibility of radical changes from one moment to the next"
 4.-The British War Cabinet is reported in constant session all uay yesterday, keeping in direct touch with Prime Minister Winston Churchill in Quebec.
 5.-The diversion of Royal Air Force heavy bomber attacks from German war industries to an all- out attempt to knock Italy out of the war by destroying her indus trial facilities

BYRNESSAYS BIG FIGHTS
 ARE COMING
Sta abiIization Director Promises Reduced
 Cost of Living

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT. = War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes promises a substantial re- duction in the cost of living in outlining a home front program geared to much major fighting.
 In a broadcast last night he hinted vast new operations are imminent by saying the Allies have the initiative but this is of no value unless it is followed vigor- ously with great forces"
 On two of the most agitated do- mestic problems, food prices and coal production, he said progress is being made.
 The President, Byrnes stated, has authorized 48-hour week in the mines.
 Byrnes strongly advocated roll back through subsidies, which Con- gress has opposed.
 Production has slowed down since victories have been coming, he said, but there is nothing to justify the hope that the Axis powers will sur render in the near future.
 The fight against imitation can be won but not if demands for higher wages and higher prices prevail He said we can't ask the soldiers to do the fighting and then pay the taxes on their return.
 An election is coming in l944, he stated, and until then the less po- litical discussion the better.
 Americans have faith in the free world for which they are fight ing Byrnes declared, and they have the will to win"

 Allied Guns
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA. Aug. IT. The American forces entered Messina this morning virtually ending the Sicilian campaign.
 The Allied Headquarters also an- nounced the enemy is carrying out demolitions on the south coast of the Italian toe, thus indicating in- tention of withdrawing farther out on the Italian Peninsula.
 Complete occupation of Sicily, the entering wedge to Fortress Eu- rope, is only a matter of hours as the Americans on the east coast of the island wiped up the hapless Italian forces left stranded by the German Allies.
 Hand-to-Hand Fight
 The American doughboys fought hand-to-hand with the enemy through the bomb-scarred streets and sprawling hillside of the port. less than three miles from Italy. Already their 1855 millimeter Long Tom artillery is smelling the enemy on the Italian mainland, according to front line dispatches.
 The American Third Division, in which Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower once commanded regiment. reached the outskirts of Messina about 8 o'clock last night, then stormed the city this morning. This division was the first into Palermo, several weeks ago.
 British Make Advances
 Meanwhile the vanguard of the British Eighth Army, forced to deal with greater demolitions, and set back by strong enemy counter leap-frogged a point eight miles south of Messina by staging a commando landing with the main force, at Santa Teresadiriva, about 20 miles south of Messina.
 The lightning advance of the Americans, IA miles from Messina was facilitated by the seaborne landing of amphibious troops from the U. s. Navy. The fourth such attack in the last ten days was near Milazzo and was carried out yesterday morning with out great difficulty.
 A late dispatch this afternoon said strong Allied naval forces are the foot of the Italian Peninsula from the gulf of Poli- castro, l50 miles up the west coast and half way to Naples, to Cape Rizzuot on the heel of the boot.

SLOW OR FAST SHIPS?

Chief issue involved is whether the Maritime Commission shall build only slow-poke Liberty ships which are easier targets for sub marines, or also build speedier C-l, C-2, ca and Victory ships which can operate without conveys.
 Digging back even further be- hind the dispute, the row is over the question of turbines. In brief far-sighted Admiral Howard L. Vickery of the Maritime Commis- sion two years ago began building turbines for merchant ships. Now hind-sighted Navy Admirals want those turbines for fighting ships.
 One thing that gripes naval brass-hats is that back in 1883 they passed over" Vickery for pro- motion and he was eased out of the Navy. Since then Roosevelt picked him up. and put him in the Maritime Commission where he has been sailing circles around his old friends in the Navy ever since.
 Two years ago, he forsaw that turbines would be one of the big

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Secre- tary of Navy Frank Knox said to- day of the Navy's prolonged silence on operations against Kiska mo news is good news"
 There has been no announced action since July 30 When Knox was asked at press conference why there should be such an ab- sence of information about the is- land on which announcements were previously made almost daily, he first said that he presumed that bad weather had brought on a period of inactivity
 Newsmen then suggested that If perhaps warships bombarded the island several times in July they should be able to operate regardless of weather
 Knox grinned and said: Well you know the old story that no news is good news

The W ashingto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 6. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON.-It hasn't had the public fireworks of the Jones' Wallace row, but one of the most intense and disastrous paper bat ties of the war is now raging back stage between the Maritime Com mission and the Navy over Liberty ships.
 The battle has become so hot that it has been referred to Jus tice Byrnes and Bernie Baruch for arbitration. Delays. caused by the dispute probably will cost the na- ton exactly half million tons of merchant shipping this year.
 The controversy has become SC bitter that the War Production Board, which sides with the Navy actually sent out telegrams to man. ufacturers of ship turbines in- structing them not to allocate any more materials for Maritime Con- mission turbines. Whereupon pep pery Admiral Jerry" Land, Mari time Commission chairman, tele- graphed the turbine manufacturers to ignore the WIPE order. How ever, manufacture of turbines was stopped, hence the delay in ship construction.
 Seeds of the dispute go back to the fact that slow-moving naval admirals are jealous of quick, up- and-coming Maritime Commission experts; plus possible British worry about U. s. shipping competition after the war
