 Italy until complete victory is won.
 Then he held out to the Italian people the hope of government free of any German domination or Fascism.
 When the German domination of Italy has ended, he said, the United Nations could well assure the Italian people of their opportunity to pick a non-Fascist government of their own choosing.
 He expressed hope in behalf of the United Nations that Italy would be restored to real nationhood and take her place as respected mem- ber-and he repeated the word "re- spected" with emphasis-of the Eu- ropean family of nations. When the Germans are driven out and Fascism is abolished, he said, only then will the good judg- ment of the Italian people become evident.
 The president described the fall of Pantelleria as very good piece of news.
 He had no details on the islands surrender except that the reason apparently was that the Axis de- lenders did not have enough water | to sustain them.
 This small island midway between the coast of Africa and Sicily has been loudly boasted by the Italians as their Gibraltar, the president said.
 In taking what he described as an opportune moment to say a word to the Italian people, the president spoke from a memorandum which he said he had prepared and thought first of issuing as a formal statement. Instead of making a formal statement, however, he talked directly to his press con- ference. referring frequently to the three-page document in front o1 him.
 Mir. Roosevelt also had in front of him Eisenhower's message about Pantelleria. This message was hand ed to him about 8:30 8. nn., as soor as he awoke.
 His statement was regarded as another strong bid to the Italian people to get out of the war. It fol- lowed much the same pattern of 6 similar invitation issued recently to the people of Italy when PrinG Minister Winston Churchill joined in a presidential press conference ! during his last White House visit.

 The air ministry here issued a resume early today of results re- vealed by photographic reconnais- sance of areas raided by Allied planes in the Mediterranean area during the period from May 15 to 3l. Pantelleria was attacked 13 times in two weeks and Its quays, docks, barracks, shipping and parked aircraft were damaged sev- erely.
 In Italy itself, the air ministry said, a large merchant vessel ap- peared to have been blown up at Naples and six other vessels there, including the 20,OOO-ton Lombardia, were damaged severely.
 At Palermo, Sicily, two areas to- taling about II acres were 75 per cent destroyed and Fascist head quarters there was damaged sev- erely.
 Rear Admiral Luetzow's report on concentrations of invasion vessels in English reports was contained in a Berlin dispatch printed in Stock holm. Luetzow said the concen- trations did not necessarily mean that action was imminent, since similar boats had been observed from time to time, but he added:
 ""rhe Germans nevertheless are keping well-infor1ned of all sus- picious preparations along the Brit ish coast"
 Also from Stockholm came 8 re- port that the Germans held big anti-invasion maneuvers in and around Oslo May 13. All troops participated and all bridges, main road, and many public buildings were occupied for A hours.
 The German port commander at Kristiansand in southern Norway was reported to have banned bath ing, fishing and boating in the har- bor area as an anti-invasion pre- caution.

AERIAL DRIVE

(Contlnued rom Page l) in northwest Africa, who had long advocated such triumphs through air power alone.
 Air Marshal Sir Arthur w. Ted der Allied air commander for the Mediterranean, is another who long has shared this viewpoint.
 The terrific aerial bombardment reached crescendo yesterday with hundreds of Allied aircraft of all types crowding the sky over Pan- telleria. The traffic was so heavy that scores of bombers were forced to circle the island while waiting their turn to make their bomb runs: Axis reports said the Allies sent r. 900 planes against the fortreSsD
 American, British, South African and other dominion air forces took part in this laundering offensive. The four -engined Flying Fortresses droned over the target in greater numbers than ever before in the to-dusk assault was the worst North African theater. The dawn pounding the island had received.
 In fact, more bombs were dropped than ever before on any target the size of Pantelleria.
 There were numerous spectacular dogfghts as Axis fighters tried to intercept the Allied bombers.
 Brig. Gen. Lauris Norstad of Min neapolis, Minn., chief of operations of the northwest African air forces, said:
 By dusk yesterday (Thursday) our job was done. We knocked out all gun positions which included many coastal pieces with barrels of four to nine-inch bore"
 He said the operation would go down as model offensive for tac- tical classroomS.
 Tt was prepared with meticulous care by large and competent staff Norstad said. Tt was a scientific job prepared by slide rule"
 In the 24-hour period before the final phase of the attack, greater bomb load was dropped than during the entire month of March by the combined strategic and tactical air | forces.
 The surrender came at 11:40 A. M. African time (6:40 EWT).
 During attacks on Pantelleria Thursday morning virtually no enemy fighters were encountered but later in the day the Allied bombers ran into stiff opposition in which Marauders shot down II enemy planes. Some of the Axis fighters came from Sicily.
 South African and other dominion air forces took part in the final off, fensive and more Flying Fortresses were over the target area than at any other time in the Mediterranean theater. About 100000 pounds of bombs hit the island on Thursday, which was a record for any single assault on a target in this area.
 There were many huge explosions on the ground and constant bursts on the air field. Ammunition stores exploded under the pounding of the FortresSes, Marauders, Mitchells BoStons, Baltimores. Lightnings Warhawks and Spitfires.

 By High Explosives

 (The German high command com munique today said that thousands of Allied planes hammered Pan telleria on Thursday and last night and that Axis fighters shot down total of 9 while losing seven.
 (Radio Tokyo reported that Brit ish and American forces on June 1st attempted to invade Pantelleria but were repulsed. An attempt to invade Lampedusa on June 7th also failed, the Japanese radio said. It added that Lampedusa had rejected an Allied demand for surrender)
 Earlier Axis reports from various sections of Europe said Pantelleria was about to fall and Madrid dis patch said the Axis already had written of Pantelleria, as well as Lampedusa, and was readying the Axis fleet and Italo-German air forces for an anticipated major as- sault against Sicily or Sardinia.
 MddiN lCPOA Uo odAO Clldt HAAG newspapers yesterday admitted that some of Pantelleria's giant l5-inch coastal batteries had been destroyed by the Allied bombardment and blockade, which cut the island of from supplies for almost two weks. The food supply was running low but it appeared that the island had sufficient ammunition as well as small force of fighter planes.

party)
 The regular Italian communique today, as broadcast by the Rome radio still boasted of the heroic resistance of the Italian garrison, claiming that it had ignored sec ond Allied demand for surrender despite a bombardment by 1000 Allied planes yesterday and last night.
 The surrender of the first of the real Italian stepping stones to Flu rope came on the 20th consecutive day of furious Allied air and naval bombardment by every type of plane available in the Mediterranean the ater and by destroyers and cruis- CTS.
 The island was blown into the air" and torn apart" by the thou- sands of tons of high explosives that hit 1t from end to end, American pilots reported.
 Ratio ! to1
 The American squadrons. some times with RAF support, knocked down 37 Axis airplanes that at tempted to defend the island on Thursday, making two day total of 49 shot down. Six Allied planes were lost in all yesterday and one on Wednesday-a ratio of better than ' to 2.
 The island of Pantelleria, about eight miles long, had population of ,0080, including what was supposed to be a strong Axis garrison since the fortress had been built up se- cretly by the Fascists as an Italian naval and air base-especially for submarines. It originally was in- tended to checkmate the great French naval base at Bizerte, which now is in Allied hands.
 The fall of Pantelleria took a vital chunk out of the Italian island out posts, helping to clear the way for an invasion of Sicily, which already has been subjected to heavy aerial bombardment and now will be laid open to the full power of Allied air fleets. The rocky little island of Lampedusa, some 90 miles south of Pantelleria, already was subject to blockade and was becoming hope leSsly cut of.
 The regular Allied communique, issued shortly before the surrender of Pantelleria, said:
 "The bombing of Pantelleria con- tinued on the night of June 9 and 10 and yesterday when heavy at- tacks were made throughout the day. Thirty-seven enemy aircraft were shot down in combat during these attacks and two more were de-

 Three men received 90-day jail sentences on charges of intoxication and vagrancy as reuslt of dis turbance on the central Green at 3:30 a. m. yesterday. Each of the men had long police records on similar charges.
 Robert w. Gardner, 38, Is State street, charged on November Is with drunken driving, received suspen- sion of $100 fine at the request of Probation Officer Homick who had been Investigating. Gardner had been having trouble with his wife.
 An i'll and destitute veteran of the first World War received a Suspen- sion of 60-day sentence for petty larceny in city court this morning. The ex-soldier was charged with theft of three billfolds and six pack ages of razor blades from the Wool worth store on East Main street yesterday afternoon. Rhinehart Lots, the store manager, testified that the merchandise had value of $360. On cross examination, he admitted that the wholesale value was about $200.
 The ex-soldier admitted the theft, but his attorney explained that he only did it because he was going to a state home and wanted to bring some gifts for the soldiers. He had been trying to re-enter the army, but that he had been turned down be- cause h ewas suffering from seri- ous illness.
 Other cases: Warren s. Conklin, O4, 199 River street, violation of the motor vehicle law and rules of the road, sentence suspended; Salvatore Mollica, 55, of 87 Sylvan avenue, violating a city ordinance by dump ing rubbish, continued to June 5; Ralph OConnor, AT, 1881 East Main street, non-support, breach of the peace, intoxication, nolled; Mary Druteika, 54, 147 Norton street, breach of the peace, nolled.

work week of 35 hours.
 WLB Chairman William H. Davis said he could see no relation be- tween O'Neill's $1.30 figure and the wage-hour law because the law re- quires overtime pay only for time in excess of 40 hours week.
 Morse suggested O'Neill'S plan represented an indirect wage in- crease rather than settlement of a legal claim and said he was not sat- isfied with O'Neill's explanation.
 Davies indirectly criticized the operators for failing to offer facts on travel time but said the UNIV should bear the principal responsi- bility for supporting the demand. Inasmuch as the union has res- bonded to none of the boards re- questS thus far, 1t presumably will offer no portal to portal data.

CORVALLIS, Ore.-Don Durdan,
Oregon State Colleges triple-sport
champion, is another example that
even in this day of mammoth ply
siques in sports, size is not every
thing.
Ever since he started his ath-
letic career as an 85-pound eighth
grader at Eureka, Calf, he has
been giving away weight an q
height.
At oregon State, Don has won
three varsity letters in football,
three in basketball, two in base
ball with another certain, unless
he's called up. He's VT naval
.reservist. His current dimensions
are 5 feet, 9 inches, carrying ITO
pounds of well distributed muscle
Pacific Coast athletic directors
voted Durdan the outstanding all
round athlete in the conference,
in a poll conducted by nap Fea-
lures.
Durdan led oregon State to one
Pacific Coast football champion
ship, including the transplanted
Rose Bowl. victory over Duke, and
a northern division Pacific Coast
conference basketball champion
ship last year.
Most Travelled Athlete
He probably is the most trav-
elled athlete in csc history. BY
the end of this basketball season
his mileage, in straight line,
would extend twice around the
world. His westernmost destination
was Honolulu for a football game,
his eastermost points Madison
Square Garden for basketbalD and
Durham, N G. for football. In
Durham, he was the major single
factor in OSC's upset victory over
Duke. His mileage of $4,000 breaks
down into $4,000 in football, 1880
in basketball, and ALSO in baseball.
AS right halfback, Durdan
could run, pass or punt with equal
skill. His speciality was an OPP
tional left-handed pass or end
run. In basketball, he plays guard,
but frequently turns in a high
scoring job. In baseball, he patrols
the outfield or plays first base.
His varsity batting average last
spring was SAC.
Durdan followers credit his top
rung success to a great sense of
balance, lightning reactions, an ex
ceptional athletic sense" and his
unquenchable competitive flame.
His three coaches, Lon Stiner in
football. Stats Gill in basketball
and Ralph Coleman in baseball
agree that he is OSC's greatest
