MEDITERRANEAN:
PantelLeria First Step

The Allied assault to reduce Italy's
island buffer defenses preparatory
to mainland operations had contin-
ued to give the Mediterranean area
star billing over other theaters of
war.
The capture of the island fortress
of Pantelleria was significant not
only because it was the first effec-
tive Allied milestone since the Afri-
can victory, but it consolidated Unit
ed Nations control over east-west
shipping in the Mediterranean as
well. Moreover, by breaking through
Italy's outer wall it paved the way
for a cleanup of the more important
islands of Sicily and Sardinia and
for operations on the continent.
The steady and methodically vio-
lent destruction of Pantelleria's de-
fenses was regarded as forerun-
ner of what other Axis Mediterrane-
an bases would have to suffer. Day
after day Allied bombers had plum
meted disaster on beleaguered Pan
telleria while naval units had blast
ed it's forts with deadly big guns in
softening up operations.
In the meantime British dis
patches crediting Spanish sources
reported that Marshal Erwin Rom
mel was speeding the completion of
defenses along the French Mediter-
ranean coast. These reports set
forth that Rommel had been named
commander of the so-called Mittel-
meer wall.
The Ely miner., 1943-06-24
CHINA:
More Gains Reported

China carried the Allied attack for
further impressive gains in the mid
die YangtZe front, supported by
strong American air action.
The tempo of the newly born Of
fensive was indicated by a destruc-
tive air raid on the enemy's rear
positions in which the Jap base of
Hongay, largest enemy coal-mining
and shipping center on the southern
Asiatic coast, IN Indo-China, was
bombed and docks, warehouses,
railroad yards and power facilities
heavily damaged.
On the ground the Chinese army
was reported by communicates to
have inflicted additional heavy casu-
alties on japanese remnants fleeing
from Itu, south of the main enemy
base of Ichang. Field dispatches
likewise disclosed that the Chinese
had broken the Jap defense line
southwest of Hwaiung, their next
major objective in the Lake Tunting
area.
Trying desperately to hold their
few remaining strong points, the
Japs attempted counterattacks near
Owchihkou, but ran into strong Chi
neSe resistance.
The Ely miner., 1943-06-24
ANTI-STRIKE:
Penalties Promised

AS the house had undertaken con-
sideration of the compromise anti
strike bill, its sponsors declared that
it would keep war plants and mines
running uninterrupted by walkouts
''if anything can"
Composing differences in bills pre-
viously passed by both house and
senate, the revised measure was
aimed particularly at the coal wage
dispute. It authorized the govern
ment to seize strike-bound mines or
plants, outlawed strikes in these
facilities and imposed a 30-day
cooling off" period before walkouts
could be called in privately operated
war industries.
Penalties ranging from civil dam
age suits to a years Imprisonment
and $4,000 fine could be imposed on
those who fail to carry out the meas
ure's regulations in labor disputes
or who instigate or conspire with
others to aid a strike in a govern
ment-operated plant.

IMPLEMENTS:
OUTPUT Doubled

Relief for farmers harassed by
shortage of machinery will be forth
coming as a result of WPB Chair
man Donald M. Nelson's announce
ment that the production of farm
implements for the year beginning
July l will be doubled and the en-
tire concentration" program i'm
posed on the industry last year will
be scrapped. :
Mr.. Nelson's announcement said
that allotments of steel and other
materials will be sufficient to boost
farm equipment production to 30 per
cent of the 1910 level, compared
with a current rate of 40 per cent
and quota of only 20 per cent that
was in effect early this year.
Meanwhile farm equipment man.
ufacturers were authorized by the
War Production board to place or
ders for materials for the new pro-
gram.
