three days marching time from q
junction with the Fifth Army.
Tide OF Battle
The tide of battle along 80
mile stretch Of the Salerno Gulf
below Naples was turned by a
mighty air and sea bombardment,
the ceaseless flow of achievements
of troops, tanks and guns into the
beachhead and a do-or-die stand by
the Americans and British against
the heaviest German assault in the,
western or Mediterranean theaters
since 1910.
The Allies for the second straight
day flew more than 1000 sorties
over the Salerno battle zone, with
every type of airplane from fighter
to Flying Fortress participating.
They dropped "a vastly greater load
of bombs than ever dropped previ-
ously In the Mediterranean theater
more than the 1900 tons dropped
on Rome"
The British battleships Warspite
and Valiant - both Of $4,000 tons
rushed back into the Salerno zone
to participate in the bombardment
Of NaA tank columns, gun emplace-
ments and positions in the hills as
the Allied navies moved in under
the noses Of enemy batteries to sup
port the ground troops. The bonn
bardment last night was in bright
moonlight.
Drastic Moves
Such drastic moves as the throw
ing Of all available airplanes and
warships into support Of the troops
ashore resulted in Stemming the
grave German threat to the Allies
bridgehead and apparently has now
given them more than an even bal
ance Of strength. Military sources
said that the Nazi panzer and mo-
torized divisions must now be feel
ing terrific strain after $50 hours
of vain battering against the dog
ged Allied invasion forces, plus the
curtain Of explosives laid down by
our air and naval forces.
Nevertheless 1t was acknowledged
that there was only q slight relaxa-
ton OF the great tension among the
Allied high command. 1t Is no secret
that General Dwight D. Eisenhower
and his generals lived through many
hours Of great anxiety in the last
few days. But expressions around
headquarters were slightly more
cheerful today and the cloud ap-
peared to be lifting.
| Bitter Fighting
| (The German communiQue ad-
mitted that bitter fighting was in
progress in the Salerna- Ebon Sec
tor yesterday, although the German
propaganda agencies previously had
claimed that the Allies were wiped
out, pushed into the sea or hopeless
~ pinned down on the beaches. The
Nazi conlmunique said that the AL
lied bridgehead was further mar
rowed and that several Allied battle
groups were annihilated.)
German fighters and fighter
bombers made no important at
tempts to hold of the Allied aerial
commandment but concentrated
their meagre resources on attacking
ships in Salerno harbor and other
vessels along the brideghead. They
failed to interrupt landing of sup
plies and reinforcements.

A persistent NaN clamor Of brew

the possibility of an invasion across

Reports
The Nazi-inspired accounts con-
te::ded that the British ninth or
10th army, or both, and perhaps
even the American Seventh Army as
well, were churning the Mediter-
ranean on the way to Greece, AL
bania and Jugoslavia.
American and British bombers
Swarmed back to the attack on Axis
Europe after o layoff of five days.
The Royal Air Force sent its
bombers out during the night to hit
Berlin, a rubber factory at Mont
lucon near Vichy, and targets in
northwest Germany. Eight bombers
were lost In the wide-Swinging OPP
erations.
First reports failed to make clear
the weight of the attack on Berlin,
the first since Sept. 8 and the 10th
Of the war.

this shift might create vacancy

Beach Landlords Come
Under Control Of Rent

Some cottages and rooms offer

Carolina Beaches have not been
registered with the Area Rent
Control office, although these liv-
ing accommodations were return
ed to the jurisdiction of the Rent
Office on Oct. l, Area Rent Direc-
tor George w. Jeffrey said Fri
day.
Beach landlords, who were ex-
empt from the Federal Rent reg
ulation up to Sept. 80, have been
subject to the regulations since
October l.
Jeffrey directed landlords at
tention to the fact that if the Rent
office orders reduction in rent
due to the fact that it is higher
than it should be, then the reduc-
ton is retroactive to Oct. l, and
a refund must be made to the
tenant.
Failure to register carries the
same penalties under the Federal
Rent regulation as any other vic.

He said, That must be nice
for both of you," and repeated for
the third time that. he'd call for
her promptly at seven.
That day Beth took three tele-
phone messages and garbled them,
had to do over two letters, and
still refused to admit that she was
excited about the coming evening.
A portion of her mind over which
she seemed to have no conscious
control went about preparing for
that evening.
At half-past four, when the Of
flee closed. she found herself TAX
ing a taxi to a little shop she
knew in F street. where she bought
herself a black wool dress. a two
piece affair. with little sequin but
terflys marching down the front

called for a special hat. So with
