Explosives Rain
On Italian Isle

North African headquarters an
nounced that allied cruisers and
destroyers stood off the coast yes
terday and fired tons of steel and
explosives into the island while
bombers operating in endless lelays
attacked day and night.
DESCRIBES BOMBING
c. R. Cunningham, United Press
correspondent, aboard a British
warship, said that following the
heavy naval bombardment waves
of heavy bombers rained bombs on
the island that seemed TO lift the
island from the water and made our
ship shake like a leaf.
If anything lived through that
bombing, it was by virtue of a mir
acle,' he said.
Other bombers attacked axis bases
in southern Sardinia. while long
range heavy bombers from the Mid
die East command struck at Messi-
ma in northeastern Sicily Simul-
taneously, light bombers and long
range fighters hit axis shipping in
Grecian waters and land targets
in Greece.
Home-based Royal air force
bombers were idle for the 10th
straight night, extending the lull
which followed the heaviest aerial
of the war against Europe
by British and American planes.
Guarded information from London
said that as far as could be deter
mined the weather was the chief
factor in the protracted lull. It was
to say whether air
strength had been transferred from
Britain to Africa, but London sourc-
IS pointed out that previously any |
such transfers never had inter
upted the offensive from Britain.
