VictoryOn 2 Fronts Looms Fora Allies
BY UNITED PRESS

Two great battles 1.5OO miles apart --in Sicily and in Russia ragged to- ward their crucial phases today with all signs pointing to victories for the United Nations.
 American and Canadian troops flaming swiftly through central and western Sicily captured IS towns in drives to within p miles of the west ern tip of the island and IS from the north coast. In some sectors the Americans advanced at a mile an hour clip, apparently isolating sig able Axis units in western Sicily.
 Hard pressed German troops were fighting desperate defense battles on the approaches to Catania, key city of Sicily's east coast, and Orel, one of the richest prizes in the Rus sian battle area.
 Drive Against OreI
 Russian armies drove against Orel from three sides, their plunges through the hedgehog defenses of 1 the vital German base reaching dozen miles from the city proper.
 In Sicily, the British Eighth Army batterel slowly but steadily toward Cantania in bloody fighting, SCOT ing small gains, while to the west the American Seventh Army beat northward against light and inef- fective resistance.
 Dispatches from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters report ing the steady Allied gains in Sic- ily--sloW and costly only at Cat ania, the southeastern anchor of the Axis Etna defense line--said that the conquest of Sicily was nearing it's final stage. That stage, however might prove relatively pro tracted, if guaged by the stiffness of the east coast resistance. Forces Trapped
 The speed with which the Amer jeans were striking northward from captured Enna, 28 miles from the north coast of Sicily. indicated that any Axis forces still at Palermo, Marsala and Trapini would be trap ped. The Algiers radio said, how ever, that those bases might have been abandoned.
 London radio reported that Bri- tish cruisers bombarded Crotore, in southern Italy near the west en- trance to the Gulf of Taranto, set ting fires and suffering no damage or casualties.
 Though the smelling of Crotone was not confirmed immediately, African headquarters revealed it was bombed by Allied planes, Which also struck at Naples and targets in the Sicilian theater.
 The Italian high command said a tWin-motored British plane under took a machine gun attack on a Rome airdrome this morning. The purported raid" on Rome pointed up the discussion of the heavy bom- bardment of military objectives in the Italian capital Monday.
 Some quarters believed a plea by Pope Plus that Rome be spared | further attacks would lead to re- newed pressure on Italy to declare the capital an open city.

New Twist To Miners Wage Dispute
BY RAYMOND LAIR

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, July 22-(UP)-The United Mine Workers believed today that they have plugged the loop holes in their wage case with stra- tegic maneuver which may bring John L. Lewis before the War Labor Board for the first time.
 Lewis gave the prolonged coal mine dispute new twist when he reached an agreement with Illinois operators to give his miners an ad- ditional $2.75 daily--$1.25 for under ground travel pay and $50 for an extra hour of work at an overtime rate.
 The agreement obviously wa drafted to meet objections previous ly raised by the VILE to UMU de- mands. The UNIV policy committee will meet today to approve the agreement.
 In addition to VILE approval, the operators said a new contract was contingent on approval of a coal price adjustment by the Office of Price Administration. The wage in- creases would necessitate price boost of about 35 cents a ton.
 It was understood that the VILE first would determine whether the agreement was submitted jointly. Only the operators submitted the proposed contract to the board yes- terday, and union acknowledgement that it also was asking approval would be tantamount to recognizing the boards jurisdiction for the first time.
 Next the board would call a pub lie hearing at which Lewis or a union representative would be re- quired to appear. Should Lewis re- fuse as he has in the past, the Smith -Connally law now gives the board power to subpoena him if it wishes.
 In the Illinois agreement, Lewis was trying tactics he has used before effectively, driing a wedge into a united front of operators and crack ing their resistance But in this case he also must consider the WLB.
 Other operators withheld com- ment on the agreement, except to express surprise at the size of the wage concession. An informed source predicted, however, that many of them would be willing to accept the pact if it would speed recovery of their mines, which now are under government operation.

What it did do was disrupt trans portation for men and women on their way home from the war in dustries at that hour, he declared.
 Chief Air Raid Warden James J. Curtin, on the other hand, took the view, If the Army finds it necessary to have these tests prolonged for some reason that may be a military secret, defense officials from the chief down are ready to cooperate in every way
 However, a recommendation will the purpose of persuading them to shorten the red" period, he added.
 Mayor John s. Monagan received letter today from Harold F. Wood cock, administrator of the Connectl- cut War Council, to the effect that the Waterbury Tool Company divis- ion, Vickers, Inc, plants on East Aurora and West Main streets are hereby eXtempt from participating in any of the blackout tests called by the Army. The letter continues to state that exemption was granted to the Tool company by the 3rd Naval District November 9, 1922"
 The above letter arrived in the Mayors office 12 hours after last nights test. The mayor added, This letter concerns only the Wa terbury Tool Company all other local factories must participate un- less otherwise directed by Army or Navy authorities" he added.
 MT. O'Rourke was amazed at the speed with which the Waterbury Clock Company extinguished its | lights. All it took them was 45 seconds" he added. While on the other side of the street, the Ben rus Manufacturing Company took seven minutes much too long for efficient compliance
 Another bad feature about the Benrus Company is that there is no room properly blacked out for persons seeking shelter during actual blackout tests, he revealed. They use a very small flashlight in the center of the room while it's pitch black everywhere else, he said. Girls are screaming and the men jostlfng, which is enough to cause panic during a real raid, he added.
 This matter will be taken up dur l ing the meeting of the War Council he declared, among few other grievances happen to have at the present time.
 I'm also opposed to the fact that the Waterbury Tool Company L given priority over blackout tests when it is just as important fol other factories to continue their production for the Army" he added vehemently. 'Is the Navy any more

Committee Pleased
 With Construction
 Activities To Date
Child Care Center in Community Group of Building
 Also Well Underway; Hamilton Heights

Construction work on the 265 new housing units at Warner Gardens on Long Hill is progressing fairly rapidly at the lower end of the res ervation, according to City Con- troller Cornelius F. Maloney, who with members of the city's War Housing committee, visited the tract, as well as the Hamilton Heights units on an inspection tour this week.
 Nine units-two- story type, each capable of accommodating 12 fam ilies-are under construction with the foundation walls and first floor joists already in place. In addition the Child Care Center is at the same stage of construction. Re- maining dwelling Units, as well as the Community Building, which are to be erected at the northern end of Long Hill reservation, have not yet been started, but bulldozers and diggers are rapidly clearing and smoothing the sites where they will be placed.
 According to present plans there will be approximately 32 buildings at Long Hill, of which 13 are to take care of 12 families each; 3 de- signed for families each; Il for 5.families each; and for 6 families each.
 Of these various housing units there will be 27 in the type classified as no bedroom; 80 with 1 bedroom; l06 with 2 bedrooms; and 52 with 3 bedrooms.
 At Hamilton Heights the com pination Community and Child Care

Center has been started and indi- cations are that it will be ready early in the fall.
 The War Housing committee, which some weeks ago urged that the MIA give serious thought to increasing the number of public housing units here with the result that new program is expected to include provisions for 100 to 150 more units, looked over the Hamil- ton avenue reservation with the thought of recommending that idle land there be utilized for expansion.
 In the original plans and specifi- cations for the local housing pro- ject the contractor, the City Con- struction Go. of Bridgeport, was given 45 days from the date he re- ceived the "go-ahead" order in which to complete the Hamilton Ave. Community building. Contract limits on the other structures ranged from 75 to 100 days.
 Local housing authorities are of the opinion that the new units will not be available until early fall.

DepIores oPA's Conninq Stond

Hartford, Conn, July p - O.PJ Governor Raymond E. Baldwin criticized the state OPA's policy to- day on canning of vegetables in community centers. and predicted the vegetable shortage next year is going to be even more critical than it is now"
 The OPA ruled June 30 that con- sumers who buy vegetables from commercial growers and have them canned in a community canning center must surrender the required number of ration points.
 T am extremely disappointed that the OPA takes this position and I think it has very bad effect upon our food production and can~ ming programs" the governor said
