GERS, and British forces in the
vital battale for Catania have
smashed back desperate coun-

was announced today.
Allied troops were within artillery

and railroads east and west-and
pounding at the gates of Catania.

fenses.
Front dispatches said American
troops had advanced 10 miles west
of Agrigento on the southwest coast.
There are many indications of
mutinies by Italian troops COM

hundreds of Italians are surrender
ing to American troops striking
ahead westward, the Allied COM
munique said.
On the smoke covered Catania
Plain British 9th Army advance
guards shattered a series of Nazi
tank assaults launched in desperate
defense of the great seaport.
Heavy Axis Losses.
With several bridgeheads estab-
lished over the network of three
rivers in the Catania Plain the
British stolidly held a line running
from the sea westward in the direc-
ton OF Ramacca. They were within
at least miles of Catania.
The German Goering Grenadier
Regiment and Nazi parachute troops
used with infantry were thrown into
the continuing battle and suffered
heavily, it was reported.
Some headquarters observers did
not view the British pause outside
Catania as a temporary check, but
as buildup for knockout blow to
carry through that port to Messina,
so miles up the coast.
Possibly explaining the wholesale
Italian surrenders and reports of
mutinies, it was stated that at least
half the 35 900 Axis prisoners so
far captured were born in Sicily.
The United States 7th Army of
1t. Gen. George S. Patton, jr., was
within so miles of Palermo. the
leading north coast port of Sicily,
and was cutting a wide swath
through the heart of the enemy line,
encountering almost total lack of
resistance by Italians, an official
statement said.
Sign Of Ultimate Collapse.
Mutinies among the Italian units
led by German officers was one of
the gravest signs yet reported Of
ultimate Axis collapse in Sicily.
Some Italian units already re-
portedly have killed German COM
manders who tried to prevent their
surrender.
Gen. Giulio Cessara Gotti Porci-
mari, commander of the 54th Napoli
Division, has been captured, the
fourth divisional commander to be
taken. Gen. Porcinari had been
sent back to Sicily as a failure as

Expresses Surprise
And Regret Over
Bombing Of City

DETROIT, July 20.-The Most
Rev. Edward Mooney, Archbishop
OF Detroit, and chairman of the
Administrative Board of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Confer
ence, in a statement today ex-
pressed surprise and regret
at the bombing of Rome, but
added that the Fascist govern
ment OF Italy could have made
bombing unnecessary.
The Fascist government, the arch
bishop said. could have declared
Rome an open city and acted in
sincere conformity with that declar-
alton"
He took note OF the elaborate
precautions which our military au-
thorities took to avoid damaging
what all men of culture hold dear
and hundreds of millions of Chris
tians hold sacred" but added that
the sense of surprise and regret re-
mains"
Raps Rome Arsenal.
"One shudders to think of the
moral risks which have been taken. '
the statement continued. This war
will not be won merely on land or
sea or in the air; it must be won in
the hearts and minds of men. A
stray bomb released by mistake over
Rome may do moral harm to our
cause that far outweighs the mill
tary value OF the most accurate de-
struction of enemy supplies.
May We not hope at least that
having shown the ineffectiveness of
enemy strategy in hiding supplies
under the cover of sanctity and cul-
ture, we will not subject to further
risk the moral idealism that dis
tinguished and ennobles our cause"
Archbishop Mooney described the
City of Rome as the Episcopal See

man on earth worked and prayed
and pleaded to save mankind from
wars desolation and destruction

City Is his diocese: the shrines
of Christian Rome are his special
care, the historic monuments of
ancient Rome. the treasures of art
which make almost every street a

through the custody of his prede-
cessors.
"He has pleaded insistently for
the preservation of this unique
heritage from the dangers of war
Millions have prayed that his plea
would prevail His plea was fla
grantly disregarded by those who
made the environs of Rome an ap-
parently safe arsenal. 1t has. in
deed. been literally respected in the
detailed instructions which gov
erned the precision bombing of mill
tary objectives in the immediate
vicinity of the Eternal City"

vention cities. While it sometimes happens that one potential candid ate or another gains prestige through selection of a convention city in one of his own strongholds, the determining factor this year is almost bound to be transportation.
 For that reason observers here think it most likely that both par ties will pick Chicago. There are several other cities still in the run ming for both conventions. Phila- delphia has made a strong bid for the Democratic convention. Cleve- land, Detroit and St. Louis also have been discussed as possibilities. But Chicago still has the edge in that it is not only geographically right from transportation stand point, but it is believed that it can best supply accommodations with out dtsrupting it's local war effort.
 In any event, the national cam paigns will be in full sway before January is written off the calendar.

Politics To
 Tee Off
 In January
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON - January may usher in the most historic year of World War II. That remains to be seen. but one thing is certain, that month will mark the opening of the all-important 1914 political cam paigns.
 Both major parties have selected January for the A campaign kick offs. The Republican National com mittee will meet in Chicago January 10-11 to pick the site and name the date of their convention. On Jan. 22, the Democratic National Committee will meet here for the same purpose.
 In addition the Democrats have promised through National Chair man Frank c. Walker that they will at that time, hold one or more Jackson Day" banquets at which party spokesmen will give "the ans wers to a lot of questions"
 Those who anticipate that any of these answers to a lot of ques- tionsp will have anything to do with clarifying the status of the fourth term are slated for disap- pOintment
 Ambrose O'COnnell, vice chair man of the committee when asked point blank if the fourth term would be discussed, said, T doubt it very much" Political observers here are more positive than that.
 Althoguh some Roosevelt packers may choose that time to restate their allegiance, it is considered certain that the President himself or any one who can speak for him will wait until the last minute to make his announcement. That's not even very deep, dark strategy.
 The presidential race next year depends much on the tide of war. For the President to make a move in either direction too soon might mean only riding the crest of a wave that will be no more than a ripple when it reaches the beach next Nov ember
 IS JLdI bdAllS AoGtO4B bOllAC think, which may cause the Dem ocrats to name the date of their convention as close to the elections as possible-perhaps as late as Sep tember. In that also, they would have the advantage of gauging the tide of war at the latest date, with additional possibility that they could make political hay out of the declaration that they are merely trying to avoid any long drawn-out national campaign that would ham Der the war effort
 As a matter of fact, except for the opportunities for pulse-feeling among the political leaders of both parties, the January sessions are not expected to produce any clues as to who the candidates will be.
 There is almost certain to be no such clue in the selection of con
