ALLIED B0MBERS POUND SICILY AND SARDINIA
 IN CONTINUOUS RAIDS

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN AFRICA - The Allied commanders sent heavy aerial squadrons across the length and breadth of Sicily and Sardinia throwing in 19 assaults on the Sicilian airdrome yesterday. Gerbini was hardest hit and the AL lies reported no fighter opposition over that scared and blasted area.
 Bomb attacks were reaching the scope of an intending storm above Gerrbini itself. There had hardly been a moment in the past 24 hours when the sky was clear of Allied raiders and as this storm came closer to the Italian mainland there were increasing indications that Mussolini was having difficult ty in maintaining Italian unity.
 Monitors of the Tunis radio dis closed that a clandestine Italian station, calling itself "Italio Balbo" had been for three successive nights appealing to the people to over throw the Duee.

AXIS OUTPosTs ON ALERT
 OVER NEW FEAR OF INVASION

LONDON-Fear of Allied inva- sion sent a new alert to Axis out posts last night along the gun-stud- ded rim of Europe as the Germans reported menacing activity by AL lied warships in the Mediterranean and inferentialiy expressed anxiety that Britain and the United States would coordinate their impending blows with those of the Red Army.
 The Nazis in a broadcast by their international information bureau d propaganda agency, declared that American cruisers and aircraft car riers had arrived to bolster the AL lied Mediterranean fleet and that several hundred thousand tons of Allied shipping had been concentra- ted there. This report doyetailed with dispatches telling of heighten- ed unrest and defense preparations in the eastern Mediterranean, es- pecially in Greece and Crete.

ALLIES CLOSE IN ON
 JAP BASE IN NEW GEORGIA
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS II

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA-The landing of jun gle-trained fighting Americans at two points on the northwestern nose Of New Georgia Island put the
 Japanese defenders of the key Nun da air base between the squeeze of a pincers maneuver today. Patrols flaming out from the new beach positions gained during the night of July 5-6, have already contacted Japanese outposts along the Bark river but there was no report that the actual assault of Munda had yet started.
 The landings were at Banana, six miles to the east of Munda, and att Rice Anchorage, four miles north east Of Bairoko harOor, the Munda supply base. Closing of the pincersi would cut Munda off from Bairoko and the Japanese supply depot att Villa plantation across Kula Gulf on Kolom Island This would force the Munda garrison to fight with supplies on hand only or risk the costly task of supplying the base by sea. The Americans won a complete victory in what was prob
 ably the first phase of a campaign to capture Munda in the crippling of the Japanese surface force in narrow Kula Gulf between New Georgia and Kolombangara Islands.
 General Macarthur announced that nine. and possibly eleven Jap anese ships were destroyed and the sent reeling back to their bases. The enemy ships destroyed were light cruisers and destroyers There were no reports that capital ships or aircraft carriers were al mong the Japanese force. -.-.
 The only American ship lost in the action was the cruiser Helena.

Testimony
 Is Taken In
 Indian Case

Testimony was taken here this week before U. s. Commissioner R. J. Suratt. sitting as a notary, in the case of the Tee-Hit-Ton fHouse Bark People, Tribe of the Tlingit Indians Of Alaska versus Clarence Olson as Fishery Management Sup eryisor of the U. s. Fish and Wild life Service ct al, a test of rights pclaimed by the Indians on certain fishing grounds. namely Salmon Bay and Lake Bay.
 Case started last summer when Louis F. Paul and others of the tribe fished at Salmon Bay in ad- mitted violation of restrictions set up by the Fish and Wildlife Service They were brought in on charges of violating the restrictions and found guilty. appeal was taken to the Dis trict Court.
 Purpose of taking the testimony of witnesses, members of the Indian tribe, at this time was that the re- cord might be preserved in the even of death of some Of the older tribal members. Case Is far reaching and is planned ultimately to involve the major question of Indian ances- tral rights to certain lands and fishing grounds throughout the Territory. It is patterned after the Hualpai Indian case in Arizona in which the Indians there brought ae tion against the Santa Fe railroad for trespassing on their holdings. Matter of government police author ity also is involved and attorneys label it one of the most complicated cases yet to come into an Alaskan court Arguments in the case are set for July IT Tn the District Court at Juneau.
 Here for the taking of testimony were George W. Folta. solicitor for the Interior Department, repre- senting the government: Attorney William L. Paul, Jr. representing the Indians. and H L. Faulkner, Juneau attorney. representing pri- yate holdings involved, particularly Pacific American Fisheries, which has investments on the fishing grounds claimed by the Indians un- der ancestral right.

GREAT TANK BATTLE -------- BEING FOUGHT ON
 EASTERN FRONT

LONDON Thirty German diyi- sions strained through the fourth day of an immense tank battle on the Kursk plain of central Russia today without even claiming a maj or gain to compensate for the ap- palling attrition said to have been exacted by masses of resolute Red Army troops. German and Russian accounts termed the violent strug- gle, for 7500 square miles of black farm lands forming the Kursk bulge, as the greatest tank battle the world has ever known
 The fight aloft in mo mans sky'' ragged with similar fury.
 The Russians. while admitting in- consequential Geerman gains along good roads in the Belgorod sector at the southern extremity of the active front, said their punch in the jaw by last night had accounted for 30.000 dead Germans. 1530 tanks and 649 planes. These stag gering losses on the flower of Hit ler's dwindling army approached the ten per cent mark at which g battered enemy's morale often be- gins to crack.
 The smoke and dust and din oi battle hung heavily over the 125 miles between Orel and Belgorod where the Russian lines cut 6C miles into German positions.
