Bowles Accepting
Official Headaches
Washington Observers Believe OPA Director From
Conn. Assuming Thankess Job in Reorganization

effective price control pro-
gram, he will be up against past
frailities of the program, Intellectual
and meaningless price orders, con-
tinued "appeasement' of certain
interests, and charges that OPA is
replete with confusion and COM
plexity.
One of his major jobs will be to
convince the public that OPA has
workable price control program. At
fectiveness of OPA's methods of
holding down the cost of living has
vet to be proven to large segment
of the recently adjourned congress,
businessmen and consumers who
have not see nthe promise of lower
prices materialize in their pocket
books.
Bowles also will be faced with the
problem of economy within OPA,
necessitated by the congressional
cut in appropriations. He must
replace officials who will be out OF
the organiza ton as a result OF the
business experience rider to the
appropriation measure.
In undertaking the job of econ
omizing, Bowles will be directed to
inspect the record of OPAS most
successful branch-rent control. The
job of controlling rent costs, it will
be pointed out to him, was accom-
plished with a small force of ap-
proximately 5000 employees scattered
throughout the nation, demonstra-
ton that effective action can be
accomplished by small stats who
know what they are trying to do.

Signs OF Mutiny
Growing Among
Italian Troops
BY UNITED PRESS


Italy's defense of Sicily appeared
to be falling apart today and vir-
tually all of the homeland, its mo-
rale staggered by an "outstandingly
successful American raid on Rome,
| was proclaimed war zone.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's
headquarters officially noted signs
of italian decentralization in Sicily
with the declaration in a commun-
ique reporting continued Allied sue
ceSses:
There are many indications of
mutiny by italian troops command
ed by German officers"
The American seventh army was
sweeping through Central Sicily
against little more than token re-
sistance, its advanced elements less
than 80 miles from the north coast
and threatening to slice the island
in half at its waist.
On the other Allied invasion wing,
Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery
was mastering his eighth army
might for another of his famous
leapfrog bounds such as carried him
over Ell Alamein, the Mareth line
and Wadi Akarit.
This time his hurdle was Cata-
MIA, key city of east Sicily, where
the only tough resistance on the
island was being encountered. The
battle of Catania was shaping up
or joined, but the fighting below
the big port appeared to have TAX
en- no definite turn.
Reports said 81 more italian pro-
vinces had been declarde war zones,
putting nearly the whole country
under military regulations. The
new zones embrace most of north
ern and central Italy.
Official African reports describ-
ing the historic raid on Rome as
"outstandingly successful" revealed
that more than 500 American
bombers blazed the raiding trail
against the eternal city, and only
five planes were lost.
The Italians reported that 166
persons were killed and 1859 in
jured in the Rome raid They also
said Naples was bombed during the
night.
The northwest African air force
sent its medium bombers against
Catania Sunday night and yester-
day hit the communications center
of Randozzo Planes from the mid
die east command raided the Gre
clan seaplane base of Preveza, set
ting fire to three italian seaplanes
and damaging others.
On the Russian front, the Red
army offensive in the Orel sector
picked up momentum. The Rus
slams captured Ilinoskoye, only sew
en- miles from the Orel-Bryansk
railway, described as the last Ger
man supply line to the Orel garri-
son.
A three-way drive against Orel
was reported to have engulfed an
other 1870 towns and villages in adj
vances ranging from four to six
miles. Meanwhile, Nazi radio pro-
pagandists clamored of Soviet at
tacks from the Arctic circle to the
Caucasus.

most of the criticism TO those with
political motives.
He denom ced various news dis

been more interested In developing
and spreading fanciful stories of
personal grievances than in pouring

Washington Times-Herald.
He urged an end to "uncritical
criticism" of those who are working
day and night up to the very
limit of their physical strength and
energy to win the war"
Ickes said that "bureaucrat" was

have sometimes ventured to think
that this sudden and great influx OF
men, who, while highly competent
in their own fields, were inexperi-
enced and unframed in and I'M
sympathetic with government pro-
cedures, was not as well advised as
it appeared to be-"
Ickes said that all the great busi-
nesses and industries of the country
are bureaucracies, with the excep-
ton of the fact that their stock
holders assume everything is going
all right and don't insult the presi-
dent or some subordinate official for
some fancied wrong or imagined
slight"
He said he was not arguing for
"the perfectability of our national
administration" But he said that it
had an immense job in turning from
peace to war, and "of course the
federal machinery clanked and
halted ana emitted strange noises
Ickes said that he set up his pc
troleum administration as a govern
men-industry cooperative that has

best, job in Washington.

scheduled to be mailed tomorrow
all applicants will have their cou-
pons by Thursday.
Most Of the confusion created for
local users is accredited to the
difference in valuation for the diff
ferent classes of users. Consumers
who pointed out their friends re-
ceived different types of stamps
were told that the type of sheet de-
pended on the amount of oil used
and the size of the storage tank.
Glass 3 users, those who use 300
or less gallons per year, were issued
the old form of sheets, with cou-
pons designating either a value of
one gallon or five gallons, also de-
pending on the amount of oil re-
quested. Mr.. Webb urged all such
users to disregard the stamped
notation, "This coupon sheet is not
valid" He said the stamp was used
last year before plans were made
to retain the old sheets. All class
3 coupons may be used at any time
during the winter.
Glass 4, S, and 6 stamps contain
circled figures on the left side and
unit figure on the right except for
the last row which also has circled
figures. All encircled coupons have
the value of the figure encircled.
Value of the unit figures is as fol-
lows: class 4, unit, 10 gallons each
class 5, 5 units, so gallons, class 6,
Is units, $50 gallons each.
The coupons on teh left of the
Glass 4, and sheets are known
as definite value" stamps and may
be used at any time during the win
ter. The encircled figure coupons in
the last row on the right side like
wise may be used at any time dur
ing the winter.
The definite value coupons of
class 4 amount to 40 gallons, class
5, 200 gallons and class 6, 1000 gal
Ions. All of such coupons are in
tact, it was pointed out, with tail
oring done only on the right side
of the sheets.
Mr.. Webb urges consumers to use
period l coupons, which are valid
until January 3, first, and to use
some of the definite value cou-
pons on ten left only if necessary
for filling storage tanks. The de
finite value" stamps are also known
as change stamps and consum-
ers have been asked to hold them
until after period stamps are used.
The encircled coupons in the last
row on the right side also will be
valid throughout the winter so that
consumers may use them as 'hold-
overs" when period stamps are all
used, and they run short of oil, it
was pointed out.
Period l coupons are now in eff
feet, as are also the No. 5 coupons
of the old issuance. The latter will
expire September 80.
Much of teh confusion has been
created over the unit coupons, ra-
ton officials stated. Consumers have
called at the ration headquarters to
ask for decomposition with the
misunderstanding that the unit
value coupons are for the figure ap-
pearing on the face. Officials stress
ed that each unit is valued at 10
gallons. jIi,s

Name of Joke
Victim Placed
On DangerList

Joseph Rinchiuso, 81 year old
victim of a practical joke was re-
ported on the danger list by st.
Marys hospital authorities this
morning.
The pranksters, Frank DeJavis,
SIS, 10 Lafayette ST., and Jack
Cheripinski, 26*, of 40 Lafayette
St., remained in a police cell as
they were unable to raise $4,000
bonds set by City Court Judge
Charles Summa when they APP
peared before him on a charge
of assault. Their cases were
granted continuances to July "a
pending the outcome of Rinchui-
SOS injuries.
According to police, Rinchiuso,
who lives at AZ Lafayette ST., had
nearly completed his days work
of sorting ,piling, and loading
scrap metals at the Commercial
Iron and Metal Co., 4 South Fiftr
St., where he is employed, when
DeJavis and Cheripinski, who
are also employed there, APP
preached him silently and let 60
a blast from a high pressure air
hose. The stream fair entered
Rinchiuso's body, causing severe
abdominal injuries and internal
hemmorhages.
When the two prankster's real
lied that Rinchiuso had been Sc
riously injured, they summoned
an ambulance from st. Mary's
hospital, police said.
Detective Lieut.. William Foley,
and Detective Sergts. Charles
McWeeney and Joseph Riley are
investigating the incident for the
police department. Coroner Miles
F.. McNiff, Jr., has also launched
an Investigation.
