ering darkness of the Mediterra-
mean, bound for breathless adven-
ture and carrying as strange a cargo
as ever jammed a vessel of the
United States Navy.
This was the headquarters ship OF
the 5th Army, the nerve center OF
the Salerno Bay armada now steam
ing out of many ports for a rem
devious somewhere at sea. Aboard
her were British and American SOL
diers, wearing their distinctive uni
forms, but carrying identical patches

Aboard were Gen. Clark, Army

GERS, including two brigadiers, trav-
eled with Gen. Clark. Eight British
naval officers were included in Ad-
miral's HeWitt'S party.
The ship moved through the night
alone. And in the gray light of early
morning convoy of several dozer
ships moved off our portside steam
ing eastward. The assault force
was gathering.
For 36 hours our ship was PieC
Piper of the Mediterranean. Con-
voys moved over the horizon and
took their places in the armada with
parade ground precision. Soon the
headquarters ship was center of a
dazzling panorama of troopships

Elsewhere in Sicily, Marshal Badog-

Banker Expects Healthy

tional debt would reach $3.50 ,00O,-

in the heart of Italy.
Junior Officers Whistle.
Junior officers, looking at the plan
for the first time, whistled softly.
This" one of them said, "is the
pay-of show in the Mediterranean.
Twenty-Five miles northwest of
Salerno city lies the great port of
Naples. Between them rises a
mountain range cut only by two
narrow passes.
The capture of Naples, therefore,
involved two distinct operations:
Cd The establishment of the
Salerno beachhead, and ca the drive
through the mountain passes onto
the plain of Naples and the port
city beyond.
The exhilaration felt by the 5th
Army staff on being ordered into
action was not unmixed with appre-
hension. This was the most daring
plan yet put into operation against
fortress Europe. For the first time
since Dieppe an Allied force would
be landing against almost immediate
German opposition; perhaps not on
the beaches Git was hoped, but
certainly shortly afterward. 1t was
known there were at least three Ger
man divisions in the Naples area.
Smaller Initial Force.
Because there was no adequate
port within the area of assault, the
initial force would have to be smaller
than that which stormed the SiciGan
beaches. For the first time since
our Mediterranean offensive started,
an Allied force would go into battle
without guarantee of air superiority,
not even air equality
Only the naval role seemed COM
fortably assured of success. We had
substantial control of the Mediter-
ranean; combined Anglo American
naval force could readily guarantee
to deposit the Army on the beaches.
Gen. Clark, feet 4, thin as a rail,
qulet-spoken, was highly conscious
of his responsibility. He had been
in tight spots before This man, in
appearance a veritable Tower of
Pisa among men of ordinary size,
had organized the forces of freedom
in French Africa long before Gen.
Eisenhower armies moved in last
November. When it comes to OPS

The boss also knew he was the
first American general to have un-
der his command a large British

national army.

RxL. S. b. SHAPIRO,


War CORRESPONDENT Of the Montreal Gazette.
August II was red-letter day on
the front pages of the Allied world.
At first light on that day, patrols OF
the United States 7th Army entered
Messina. Word flashed triumphant
" to the outside world. The Sicillan
campaign was over. On the after
noon of that day, President Roose-
welt arrived in Quebec to begin his
formal conferences with Prime Min
lister Churchill and Canada's Premier
Mackenzie King. Tens of thousands
of words, descriptive and speculative,
cracked over the wires from the
ancient capital on the st. Lawrence.
On that evening, in drab and
dusty encampment somewhere in
North Africa, signals runner
handed into the headquarters office
a two-word code message. 1t. Gen.
Mark Wayne Clark, commander of
the 5th Army. looked at it, sum-
moned his chief of staff, Maj, Gen.
Aired M. Gruenther.
The message instructed Gen. Clark
to put into immediate operation the
Salerno Bay plan.
Rumors Spread Quickly.
Within 30 minutes the encamp-
ment spun with activity. Staff Off
GERS moved on the double between
their own tents and Gen. Clark S
headquarters. In the mems quarters
the rumors spread quickly. They
were going to move. Where and
exactly when. they did not know;
but it was action-and soon.
They had been waiting many
months for this moment. Months
filled with vicious training under
Africa's hot sun. Months filled with
some mystery, as the United States
5th Army became officially the 5th
Army and British officers drifted in
to become part of the organization
Now the waiting was over. The order
was for speed. Time was desperately
short
Staff officers swore softly as they
waded into reams of operational in
structions taken out of a sealed box.
The 5th Army was ready for action
but ordering the Salerno Bay show
to be ready for assault landing any
time after September 3 was a bit

EAST HARTFORD, CoNN.-Since Sep
tember, 1889, Hamilton Standard Propellers
division of United Aircraft Corporation, even
then the largest producers of propelers in
the world, has upped its output of propellers
24fold, with a plant increase of less than
hve-fold and a personnel increase of less than
seven-fold, according to an announcement by
Sidney A. Stewart, general manager
AS the divisions licensees, Nash Kelvin
ator, Remington Rand and Frigidaire, have
swung into production, their added output has
lifted the increase to more than 6O-fold.
More than Is per cent of Americas air
craft propellers are produced by Hamilton
Standard and its licensees. Over 80 Army and
Navy warplanes use them.
These figures were announced by Mr.
Stewart, following a triple renewal of the
Army-Navy E production award to three
Hamilton Standard plants last month.
E renewals went to plants in East Hart
ford, Norwich, Conn and Westerly, R. l.
