Occupation of Southern Italy
Not Main Allied Goal, Eliot Says

light of more delaying positions, and
1t is doubtful If the Germans will
devote more than 10 to IL divisions
to the task of holding them. Even
if the Germans had to put in five or
six more divisions before all was said
and done, this would not be sub
stantial diversion under present
conditions, because the line of re-
treat OF these troops would be open
behind them, and they could with
draw from position to position under
increasing pressure. There would
never be any necessity for the Ger
mans to draw heavily upon their
central reserve to restore the situa-
ton in Northern Italy, which would
simply be sideshow to be aban-
doned as soon as it became too
costly; its purpose would be to gain
time, to keep our mobile forces busy
in an area where Germany has little
to lose, and to stave off the moment
when our air power might begin to
operate from bases in the wide plain
of Lombardy.
A front In Northern Italy seems
certain, but 1t likewise seems Ger
tain that it is not in Northern Italy
that we shall use the major part of
that striking power which we are
now accommodating in Britain and
Africa. AS far as the so-called
under belly" is concerned, the road
by way of Sardinia and Corsica to
Southern France seems much more
attractive-and If we take that road
the northern Italian front may ac-
quire significance from the Ger
man viewpoint which 1t would lack
on its own merits. Meanwhile, We
should not forget the very consid-
cradle political and moral advan-
tages which will be ours with the
occupation of the Italian peninsula,
any more than we should overesti-
mate the military advantages OF
that accomplishment.

Air Support Command.
Throughout the North African and
Sicilian campaigns these airmen al
ways were in the most advanced DO
sitions in which it was possible to
maintain any sort of airdrome. Fly-
ing British Spitfires, they made one
of the most impressive air records of
the war-so notable, in fact. that

Capt. McCumber inherits a flying
tradltion. he says. His father, Wal
ter M. McCumber, prominent WASH
ington architect and resident archi-
tect OF the Williamsburg CVa)
restoration, was one of the early
members Of the Lafayette Escadrille
which served in France before the
United States entered the last war.
Capt. McCumber's most thrilling
experience In the war to date. he
recalls, was not in the air, but when
he was sent with Air Forces ground
forces to take over French airport
shortly after the Oran landing last
November.
The intelligence report indicated
that they should pass through a
town still held by the enemy, so they
proceeded in a convoy accompanied
by two tanks. Outside the town they
heard all the bells pealing, which
they presumed to be a signal for
resistance. When they entered.
however, they found they were be-
ing welcomed. They passed through
the town only to run squarely into a
hot tank battle few miller farther
on.
Capt. McCumber joined the Army
Air Forces in May. 1910, and after
pre-f1ight training at Maxwell Field

Entire Diocese's Aid
Sought on Successor
To Bishop Freeman
BY JAMES WALDO FAwCETT.


The authorities of the Episcopal
Diocese of Washington yesterday
announced the adoption of what has
been described as "the most modern
democratic method" of choosing a
new bishop.
The Nominating Committee
headed by Associate Justice Owen
Roberts invited every member of
the Episcopal Church in the diocese
OF Washington to aid in the task
of finding a successor for the late
Right Rev. James E. Freeman.
Nominations, it was explained,
should be sent with supporting data
to the Nominating Committee, Do
cese of Washington, 1902 Rhode
Island avenue NV, to be received
not later than midnight Saturday,
September 4.
1T was indicated that the commit
tee will assemble again on Septem-
Der 10, but the actual election of a
new diocesan head must wait until
after the general convention at
Cleveland, October 2 to 9.
fMCdllWIiuC, SdiloIl 1IicOdUic ~.
Wedel, speaking for the Cathedral
Chapter, explained that nothing
can or will be done about the ap-
ppintment of new dean of WASH
ington Cathedral. The proposal
that a committee be named to seek
candidates, he insisted, would be
contrary to the existing Cathedral
constitution.
But it does not follow that new
dean cannot be nominated until
a. new Bishop of Washington has
been elected. If the new Cathedral
constitution offered by former Sem
ator George Wharton Pepper of
Pennsylvania Is accepted by the
chapter after the general conven-
ton has signified its wish that the
headquarters of the church be
moved to Washington, the presiding
bishop would be privileged to ap-
point dean with the advice and
consent of the chapter. BY this
procedure the Bishop of Washing
ton might be omitted altogether
from the business of obtaining q
successor for the late Very Rev.
1eBarney Thorne Phillips.
On the other hand, if the general
convention does not act with regard
to the national headquarters, the
whole problem will revert to WASH
ington under the prevailing consti-
tuition.
IL Ballots Taken in 1928.
The difference between the meth
Cd employed by the Nominating
Committee in quest of new Bishop
OF Washington on this occasion and
in years gone by is illustrated by the
fact that II ballots were necessary
to decide the election of Bishop
Freeman over six candidates on
June /, 1923.
, Among the clergy almost certain
to be placed in nomination for
bishop are: The Rev. DR.. Donald
Bradshaw Aldrich of New York, the
Rev. DR.. Norman Burdett Nash of
Concord, N. H; the Rev. DR.. Charles
T. Warner, the Rev. DIR. Charles w.
Sheerin, The Rev. Edward Gabler,
the Rev. F. Bland Tucker, the Rev.
Clyde Brown and Chaplain Charles
Leslie Glenn.

long rear-guard action all the way
up the Italian peninsula. But If
they really hope for any such pro-
cedure on our part, it can only be
because they still cling to Hitler's
judgment that the British and
Americans are military idiots"
Face Two Alternatives.
The fact is, whether the Germans
realize it or not, that they now have
the alternative in Italy of abandon
ing the southern part of the PENN
sula altogether, or of having such
forces as they may send there cut
off by Allied landing somewhere up
the coast. The western coast-line
of Italy forms long shallow front,
weak at every point, which cannot
be defended against penetration
from the sea; not, at any rate, by
any forces which the Germans can
sparesfUr the purpose. s~ses"
The Allies possess, at Palermo, a
first-class harbor as a base for such
an enterprise, harbor which is
only 167 nautical miles from Naples
and 249 miles from Civita Vecchia.
The outlying islands north of Sicily
have been occupied. A strategic air
force of overwhelming power is pre-
pairing the way for the next move
against Italy.
In Sicily itself, two powerful,
veteran, full-equipped Allied armies,
backed by a first-rate tactical air
force, is ready. The Allied fleets
control the Tyrrhenian Sea. Be-
hind these forces there are more
troops in North Africa and we'll
stocked supply depots, to which the
resources Of Great Britain, the
United States and Canada are flow
ing in vast ship-borne streams, al
most unchecked by the falling u
boats. There, too, a great French
army Is in the making.
Allies to Hold South.
Under these conditions the Ger
mans can hardly hope to make a
fight for the Italian peninsula. AS
we think of a possible invasion of
Western Europe, we must think of
condition in italy in which the
Germans are defending the northern
part of that country, while the
southern part (the peninsula ITSELF
Is In Allied hands. This seems to
be as near a certainty of the i'm
mediate future as the uncertain
conditions of war can enable us to
imagine.
There remains to be considered
the extent to which the German
defense of northern Italy will act
as a partial diversion of German
forces from other fronts and so
accomplish in part the main purpose
which must underlie an invasion in
the west. There are hints Mat the
Germans are preparing to make a
stand on front straddling the pen
insula between Spezia and Posaro,
which Is the lifeline of the Etruscan
Apennines mentioned in this con-
nection in my article of May "a.
Behing this the main defenses along

defense on the Piave River and in

likely to be even more stoutly held
