Italy Prepares
For invasion

LONDON. April 6 CUP - The
Italian cabinet was expected to
meet today to further plans for the
defense of italy against the ap-
preaching threat of an Allied in
vaSion.
A British broadcast said that the
cabinet would make decisions of
the utmost Importance" and cited
neutral sources as reporting that
Premier Benito Mussolini possibly
will announce the appointment of
a commander-in- chief for forces in
the Mediterranean.
R0NTMEL IN ITALY
A Moscow broadcast already has
previously reported that German
Marshal Erwin Rommel arrived in
southern Italy from Tunisia to take
over command of Axis ground forces
in the southern defense zone, "
comprising Italy and the south
coast Of France.
In addition. the broadcast said,
German Marshal Albert Kesselring
has been named chief of the Axis
air forces for the new zone and a
German Admiral Canaris, naval
commander.
1t was considered likely that the
italian cabinet will discuss the fate
Of the Axis forces still resisting in
Tunisia. Allied officials incline to
the belief that the Axis will leave
at least the majority in North
Africa for a last-man defense to
delay defeat.
Reports persisted from Spain,
however, that the Axis is contem-
plating a Dunkirk evacuation of
the Tunisian armies. A United
Press dispatch from Madrid quoted

yoHxsou afsx!ea i'm Hollywood

The Ides Of March and the high
est taxes in American history have
left a high percentage of your
favorite movie stars flatter than an
Academy dinner.
Some of them had to borrow TO
meet even the first installment,
and what with the prospect of
doubling up the full 1912 taxes
with a 20, or maybe 80, per cent
Withholding tax on the 1943 levy,
it begins to look as if they'll have
to start selling their capital assets,
just to meet the loans, let alone
the taxes.
Nor is there any comfort in the
probability that SO far as they're
concerned this will be the last year
of back breaking taxes. Although
the salary ceiling will also limit
their taxes, they're afraid they'll
never be able to catch up on back
installments.
But taxes aren't the half of it
The other plans looming ON the
financial horizon have got the poor
little rich boys and girls Of the
movies tearing their hair-pieces.
One is the plan to defer the stars
from military service and from de-
fense work on condition they ac-
cept Army pay
Here, of course we seem to have
some pretty loose thinking on the
part of somebody, for there is

four-star rating, too.

Rus ssians RepeI
Attack at Izyun

MOSCOW, April 6 (UP) - The
Germans hurled 1000 infantrymen
and 10 tanks against the Soviet
brideghead south of Izyum today,
but fell back after losing 100 men
and two tanks in a furious battle.
The attack, launched under heavy
aerial cover, was the latest in a
series of strong German thrusts de-
signed to eliminate the Russian toe
hold on the south bank of the
Donets river. Along most of the
rest of the river stretching north
west of Kharkov, the Red army
has been pushed back to the north

ALLIES DOUBTFUL
On the other hand, Allied OBJ
servers here doubted that Germany
and Italy would risk their sea and
air fleets in a Dunkirk when they
might be needed so soon afterWard
to fend off an Allied invasion.
The record American raid Sunday
or Naples was a heavy blow at any
Axis plans for an evacuation. Hits

Forts Knock Out
kazi Plane Repair
Base i'm Antwerp

LONDON, April CUP)- Flying
FortreSses that raided Antwerp,
Belgium, knocked out an important
Nazi airplane repair base, recon-
naissonce pictures showed today as
American fliers marked up probably
their two best consecutive days of
bombing since they started opera
tions in the European theater.
Air pictures showed direct hits
on buildings at the Erla Aero-En-
gine works in Antwerp, used as a
repair base for Focke-Wul and
Messerschmitt fighters. The bomb
erS also scored on the Vergaert
Photographic plant.
BUILDINGS HIT
The Antwerp raid, combined with
the attack ON the great Renault
Dlart at Paris, equalled and most
likely bettered the record of the
tWo-day Fortress raid on VegeSack.
Germany. Pictures showed that
scarcely a building at the Renault
plant was left unhit.

the continent had been carried into
its fourth night with attacks last
night On shipping in the English
channel At the same time, a Sec
ond bomb front" was being opened
in the south of Europe b. raids
from North Africa.
The Fortresses' aim from $4,000
feet was such on the Paris raid
that they smacked squarely parts
OF the Renault works on an island
in the middle of the Seine river.
However, bad weather over the
continent interrupted the attacks
on mainland targets by Britain's
big ur-engined bombers, an esti-
mated 700 to 500 of which raided
the German naval base and ship

night.
