Following Riot

WardenS were on gualu.
KEPT INDOORS
A 1O:3O p. IN. curfew imposed by
Mayor F.. II. LaGuardia kept Vlr-
tually all of the districts 3OO0OO
Negro residents indoors all night.
And for the first time in months,
lights in Harlem shone brightly as
the army permitted suspension OF
dim-out regulations to help police
keep order.
Cnly one incident was reported
during the night. Five Negro
Youths were arrested for throwing
stone through store window.
Police reported that seven Negroes
were injured last night and early
tcdav in scattered fist fights and
stabblngS.
Stores leopened to ease the food
shortage created by the disturb
ances, police, who guarded milk de-
liveries to the district, also pro-
tected food trucks and trolley cars.
Liquor stores-an estimated 80 out
of the 40 in the district were
smashed in the rioting-were still
closed as were bars.

FIRE DESTROYER
In wide-ranging attacks, Allied
planes set a japanese destroyer
afire, sunk IA barges and damaged
many more, destroyed a poWerboat
and hit a tanker and freighter
besides destroying at least II
planes, IL of them in a single fight
over the New Guinea Huon penin-
sula.
The destroyer was hit yesterday
by a reconnaissance plane 60 miles
southeast of Gasmata, New Britain.
Other ships were hit by Flying
Fortresses and Mitchells along the
Hron peninsula coast above Sal
amaua.
Escorting the bombers, force of
IA Lightnings met an equal number
of enemy fighters and shot down
II in flames and probably got an
other, leaving only two survivors.
All the Lightnings returned.
Six Liberators attacked the Lac

coast, exploding fuel dump, de-
stroying two barges and setting fires
that were visible 35 miles away.

1.-The report I have received says
that operations have opened well.
The 18th division has captured
Centuripe after some very bitter
fighting in the streets. The 5lSt
division are making very good pro-
gress on their right. To the left
the Canadians have captured Regal
buto where the opposition was par
ticr,arly fierce. Further north the
American 7th army are reported to
have entered Troina yesterday
evening
"On the coast road the advance
continues in the face of extensive
demolitions. I should like to ex-
plain to the House that during the
last week when things seemed to
be rather quiet large reinforcements
have been l.oved up to the fighting
front and it has been proberly
garnished with artillery and sup
plies of every kind.
"A certain delay was necessary
while the American 7th army on the
northern flank marched eastward,
driving the enemy before 1T and
taking up its position on the flank
of our 9Th army. Between the two
Canadian forces are stationed. The
whole of this great army constitutes
what is called the 18th group ol
armies and this 18th group of armies
is and has been throughout COM
manded by General Alexander

the key strong points OF Trolna,
Regalbuto and Centuripe on the ap-
proaches to Mt. Etna, Prime Min
ister Churchill said today, and MILL
tary observers said all resistance

next few days.
once the initial hard core OF re-
;isrance has been broken, observers
said the mopping-up of the SHRINK

eated that resistance already may
be cracking.
Churchill told Commons that the
II. S. Seventh army entered the

miles east of Nicosia and only IL
miles frcm the key highway loop
around the western slopes of MT.

The Canadians captured Regal
nuto. 10 miles to the south, he re-
yeaIed. and the British Eighth army
seized Centuripe, six miles farther
southeast and 20 miles west OF Cat

ward dumps in the Mt. Etna region,
an indication that they do not hold
out much hope of prolonged re-
sistance. An unusually large num-
Der of Axis ships also was reported
gathering in MesSina Strait, but
there was no immediate sign of
whether these were to be used for
an escape attempt or to reinforce
the Faltering armies in their last
stand.
RELAYS of KittyhaWks bombers

The Germans threw all available
reserves into counterblows, but fin
ally yielded to the Red army pres
sure and fell back southWeStWard.
1t was in that region that the Rus
slams took Znamenskoye,, where Red
Star said the attack was so uneX-
pected and powerful that the Ger
mans abandoned quantities OF We
hicles and munitions in their flight.
The most effective German re-
sistance was anchored on a knot
of fortified villages about nine miles
northeast of Orel, constituting the
last outer defense line before the
city. The Russians stormed the en-
tire line. smashed the first belt,
then reduced each village individ-
ually.
There has been no German
elaboration of last nights Berlin

The Russians advanced 3% to

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-IUP)-
King Haakon VII of Norway OBJ
served his fourth birthday in exile
in Londo ntoday, according to the
Royal Norwegian information serV-
ice here.
The King, II years old, escaped to
Britain with the Norwegian govern

invasion in the spring of 1910, and
there established the Norwegian
government in exile.
King Haakon has headed the

local boards have exhausted their
supply of other men. Wheeler
would defer the drafting of pre-
Pearl Harbor fathers until Jan. l,
1914. Kilday's bill has passed the
House and is pending in the Senate
military affairs committee. Wheel
er's was approved by the Senate
military affairs committee about
week before the recess started. He
did not press for final action be-
cause he shared general confidence
then that fathers would not be call
ed before the end of the Year.
The only congressional comment
on lifting of the ban against draft
ing fathers was adverse.
McNutt's action was somewhat of
a surprise. Recent VINO and Sc
lective service statements have hint
ed that the drafting of fathers
might be delayed at least until next
January, and then it might not be
necessary to draft more than few,
depending upon the casualty rate
in forthcoming battles.
TAKE 3OO,O 900
On the basis of McNutts press
conference statement yesterday,
however. it was unofficially esti-
mated that it might be necessary to
take 100000 men now classified in
lila before the end of the year.
McNutt's order provides that no
bona fide pre-Pearl Harbor father
shall be called prior to October l.,
even if local board has to fail to
fill its quota, and after that date
they shall be taken only after all
other possibilities have been re-
viewed.
He said that the new order does
not abolish class III-A. but that
men would be reclassified out of
that group as needed. The order
said that pre-Pearl Harbor fathers
18 through 81 would be subject to
induction after october l without
distinction regarding the number or
ages of their dependent children" "
The order to local boards set
forth only two conditions as pos
sible basis for deferment: fathers
who are KEY men in agriculture or
essential industry, and fathers
whose induction would cause ex-
treme hardhsip and privation to
their families. 8.

California residents will have nearly

Most of the new laws will have
little effect on the average citizen,
but nearly everyone will be af-

Forty eight men were listed as miss
