Lieut.. Gen. Kurt Dietmar, German
war commentator, asserted today
that the Allies could have landed
In italy and gained control OF the
greater part Of the country If they
had acted soon after Benito MuSso-
lini was deposed as Italian premier
on July Is.
Dietlnar was quoted by the Berlin
radio that German forces in Italy
were far too weak at the time OF
Mussolini's fall to cope with any
Allied landing in force.
1.-THE Allies had every means tc
carry out such landings" he said
Nothing and nobody could have
prevented them from doing 1t. But
they relied on political circum-
stances following Mussolini's custer
rather than ON their unquestion-
ably superior military strength"

Tough Tigers Barrier
For Irked Yanks Who
Would C|inch FIaq

By the Associated Press.
The major leagues settled down to
business again TODAY for two weeks
of solid sending before the season
closes, and the New York Yankees
took up the now serious task of
clinching the American League pen
nant.
In winning the championship in
six out of seven years before the
present campaign the Yankees usu-
ally have managed to nail the flag
up before this.
Consequently, the present delay is
aggravating to the Yanks and their
followers, even though there is little
doubt that they will reach the king
row eventually.
New York needs a combination of
five victories or Washington defeats
to eliminate the Senators. On the
form the Yanks have shown earlier
these should not be beyond their
powers. but the Detroit Tigers, with
whom they were to open four-game
series today, have been one of their
toughest foes over period of many
years.
The Yanks are not trailing any
club in a seasons series, but with
the Tigers they are no better than
even-nine victories apiece WASH
ington tied the Yanks on the season
at IL games each.
Hank Borowy was expected to go
to the mound for New York today in
quest of his sixth successive triumph
and likely was to get Rookie Rufus
Gentry for an opponent.
The Senators, seeking their 10th
consecutive victory, were booked for
the first of three night games with
the st. Louis Browns, while the
Cleveland Indians, still mathemati-
cally in the race, opened their last
Eastern invasion at Boston.
