Presently when quick decisive &C., tions are particularly necessary, a conference of the three powers should decide the principal and most urgent question-a question of short- ening the war, question of not allowing another prolongation of the war"
 The publication maintained that the military situation was such that the coalition could accomplish a vic- tory over Germany and it's vassals this year, but postponement of the second front in Europe until next year would prolong the war and "once more put off the collapse of Hitlerite Germany"
 Perhaps some statesmen in Bri- tain and the United States, on whose territories there never sfave been Hitlerite occupants, do not consider this an immediate task" it said. "It is different in the Soviet Union in the Soviet Union there is only one opinion as to this questionable time has come to pass from words to action. The time has come to make a decisive combined blow from the east and West-a blow which will really short- en the war and free the peoples of Europe from countless new sacri- fees"
 The review added that tri-power conference called with the purpose of shortening the war would be "a glorious landmark in the war against Hitler and preparation for solid peace on the basis of friendly CO., operation among the Allies"

to the conferences so that they may receive information. Naturally, their advice and counsel would have a marked bearing on any final politi- cal decisions.
 Questions involving the Pacific loomed up with new importance after the Bracken press conference because of one off trail remark of his. Talking about how Britain will fight to the finish of Japan, he said quietly.
 Fight To Finish
 We have very good sailors and bomberS and none of our Allies will be the slightest bit disappointed with our effort. This is one war and we will not put down our arms until the Japanese have paid the price for their treachery."
 Bracken's casual remarks about Britain's good sailors" fitted in with reports that the naval situa- ton in the Atlantic and the Medi- teranean is easing to the point where Great Britain can transfer a large naval force from the Atlantic to the Pacific where, as the Allied time table unfolds, the pressure on Japan will be increased.
 The disposition of British naval strength may have been one of the DE questions worked out here.

More Charges Looming
(Continued from Page D

$2,000 bonds set for his release and was taken to New Haven county Jail last night on mittimus issued at the superior court clerks office. The other employe, Edmund w. Holmes a cottage master who was released from his duties after charges of maltreatment of an inmate were made, supplied $1,000 bond and was freed pending arraignment at the criminal session Sept. 21. He is charged with cruelty punishing Kenneth Smith, 16-year-old in- mate.
 Search for William Vindle, former cook at the institution, is still be- ing conducted, MT. Fitzgerald said today, and the investigation will be extended when he is found. AL though an affidavit issued by Vindle to the Smith boys father, to the effect that he witnessed the mal- treatment at the hands of Holmes, was considered in the investigation 1t did not constitute the basis for the charges against Holmes, it was indicated.
 The sta.%'s attorney expressed the belief Holmes may have taken a job at distant point and is not aware of the search for him or of the developments at the institution.
 Sheriff Albert Francis served the bench warrants yesterday. Assist ant States Attorney Walter w. Smyth and Sergeant Thomas F. Laden, acting county detective, as- sisted in the investigation.

could have been testing the German

could have been testing the German defenses.
 Terrific explosions from the direc- ton of Boulogne and the rest of the French invasion coast reminis- cent of those which broke up Nazi preparations for an invasion of Bri- tain in 1940 shook the British south east coast yesterday.
 At first the explosions were cred ited to new Allied aerial bombings, perhaps designed this time to soften up German defenses, but later re- ports indicated the Germans may have been dynamiting for new gun emplacements or removing buildings to make way for new Notifications.
 Landings Seem Imminent
 Allied air and sea bombardments of southern Italy pointed to the pos sibility of imminent landings on the Italian mainland. Reports reaching Madrid from France said German troops evacuated from Sicily are be- ing rushed northward to join per- haps F divisions in northern Italy.
 The extent of demolitions in Calabria and Apulia provinces indi- cated the Germans do not contem- plate any serious resistance Ill southern Italy.
 London sources believed the main battle of Italy would be fought along a line stretching roughly be- tween La Spezia, naval base 200 miles north of Rome, and Pesaro on the east coast, where the Germans would have the advantage of a. natural line across the Appenines backed by the northern seaports.
 Second Defense Line
 The second defense line probably would be along the Pc river running between Turin and Ferrara, with the third and perhaps strongest line extending from the Italo-Swiss- German frontier southeastWard to the mouth of the Piave river above Venice.
 The London Daily Mail reported from the Italian frontier that all

road yards at Orleans, and raked 12 trains in other areas.
 From the entire nights opera tiOns, only one bomber was missing.
 Tons of Explosives
 The FortreSseS dropped tons of high explosives and fire bombs on the air fields at Flushing and Gilze- Rijen and shot down 16 intercepting fighters, while escorting American Thunderbolts and Allied Spitfires destroyed another 18. Four bomberS and two fighters were lost, but one fighter pilot was saved.
 The raid followed another Ameri- can medium bomber attack earlier yesterday on Axis air fields at Amiens- Glissy and Polk in northern France. The offensive obviously was designed to cripple the Luft- waffle in advance of any invasion and to cut down interception of Allied bombers carrying the war deep into Germany.
 Deductions from Raids
 While Germany already has been weakened sufficiently to permit an invasion of western Europe, military authorities said the mounting air offensive indicated that the longer a landing is delayed, the fewer ground casualties will result and the greater ease will be found in oVerrunning the Reich.
 Estimates of German war capacity already destroyed by air range as high as 40 per cent, but the Ger mans are known to possess large reserves of munitions and arms of all sorts stored up during the initial phase of the war.
 Destruction Formula
 Air strategists believe the destruc- tion of Germany by bombing has become virtual mathematical form ula. Charts in existence show steady dropping of Germany indus trial potential.
 Strategists can estimate almost exactly the point at which Germany no longer will be able to sustain her armies in the field. This point certainly will be reached during 1944, but the question remains of how far the process should go on before Allied invasion armies land in western Europe.
 The Flying Fortress attacks were believed to have inflicted heavy damage on the Flushing transport plane base, from which Nazi planes take off to attack North Sea ship ping, and the Gilze- Rijen base for fighter-bombers used in attacks on England
 The Fortresses ran into medium anti-aircraft fire and some fighter opposition, inciuding 40 Messer- schmitts that bounced on one group which became separted from the main formation.

weeks have bombarded Castellam- mare on the south shore of the Gulf of Naples.
 Naval activity continues on both coasts of the Calabrian peninsula and on the eastern shore of the Straits of Messina," Gen. Dwight D. EisenhoWer's communique said.
 Allied bombers and fighters ripped the Italian peninsula as far north as the Naples area with bombs and bullets, concentrating on railroads over which Italy must reinforce or evcuate Axis forces from the south- ern provinces.
 SalernO Yards Hit
 Medium bombers attacked the railroad yards at Salsrno, south- east of Naples, and lghter-bombers pounded similar objectives at Cat anzaro on the sole of the Italian boot and other targets of oppor- tunity," the communique said.
 At Foggia, Flying Fortresses scored bomb hits on the electric sub station and industrial buildings, while Eastern communique said, Lib2ratorS hit an overhead railway bridge, carriage repair shops, warehouses and military bar racks near the railway.
 "A heavy weight of bombs cov- cred the entire yards" the Middle Eastern communique said.
 "A large number of carriages were seen burning in the yards while ex- plosions and fires were started in locomotive repair shops and near the main railway station itself. The Liberators shot down four enemy fighters in the course of these at tackS."
 CrOtOne Hit
 The Middle Eastern communiuue also disclosed that British four r-en- glned HalifaXeS and LiberatorS bombed the railway yards at Cro- tone on the sole of the Italian boot Wednesday night, scoring hits and starting fires.
 Beaches in southern Italy were attacked by planes from the north west African Air forces yesterday and last night.
 Beaufighters and Wellington bombers from the Middle Eastern command extended their operations to the west coast of Greece We'd nesday and Wednesday night and scored a direct hit on a small enemy vessel at PreVeza. Heraklion har- bor, Crete, also was bombed.
 Four planes were lost in all oper- atlons of the Middle Eastern com- mand.

Move To Kill Fother-Draft

Andrew J. May, D., Ky, of the House military affairs committee.
 Fulmer, charging that draft boards still are taking critically needed farm laborers, said he would ask May to incorporate a provision for the furlough of farm workers al- ready in the army in his proposal to exempt pre-Pearl Harbor fathers and limit the size of the armed forces.
 He contended that a serious food shortage would result for the United States, her Allies and occupied ter ritories this winter unless some change is made in the method of al- locating farm labor.
 William Haber, executive assistant director of the War Manpower Con- mission, told a press conference that the October draft call would be "only shade under" the September call which is for 312000 men.
 It was definite that the drafting of fathers would not become general immediately after Oct. 1, but depend upon what classes of men each of the $500 draft boards have available. It was definite, too, that no board would take father If a single man, meeting physical requirements and not deferred because of occupation, is available.

 He also said that petroleum sup plies are being increased, land will continue to increase" during the present year.
