Italian General Says
Sici|ians Aided u, :,
In Taking Agrigento
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LICATA. Sicily, July II (Delayed
An army in ruins rolled through
the silent, crowded streets of Licata
today in vehicles of the army that
whipped them.
1t was the remnants of the italian
artillery and infantry units which
capltulated last night after a three
day fight to save Agrigento, the an
clent city on the heights overlooking
Porto Empedocle, the best harbor in
Southern Sicily.
A large portion of this citys 30
600 population lined the sidewalks
and watched from windows as truck
load after truckload sped past
packed with prisoners. Army Off
GERS said thousands of prisoners
were taken in the Agrigento area
including a few Germans.
General Resplendent.
The prize prisoner was Brig. Gen
August de Lauzentis, 53-year-old
commander of the 207th Italian
Coastal Division, who rode alone ir
the back seat of a ieep. The gen.
eral was resplendent in a colorful
uniform glittering with stars and
medals. His beaten troops-dirty
unshaven in their torn and faded
field dress-watched with tired. ex-
pressionless eyes as their captured
leader passed by.
For a week Sicllians In this town
have been cheering the American
troops filling through because they
are weary of the Italian yoke. Yet
they are stunned by the sight of the
mass Of Italians who speak their
own language being shuttled back
as prisoners. Many of their own
sons are still in Italian uniform
serving on the mainland.
These mixed loyalties showed In
the faces Of the crowd, which wants
the war to end, but still feels the
tug of sympathy at the sight of
these Axis troops wheeling by in
defeat.
E. Beaten troops looked down from
prison -' trucks at beaten people
watching them in silence as the long
convoy moved on.
Gen. de Lauzentis was bitter, off,
cial sources disclosed, because he
believed Italian citizens had guided
American troops around Agrigento':
complicated and strong defenses
Declaring he was anxious to know
how the Americans had learned sc
much about Sicily in such a short
time, he declared angrily:
You know more about the Ital-
ians in Sicily than I do"
Large quantities of Italian weap-
ons, including 100 light field guns
and l49 heavy guns. were taken al
Agrigento. Medical supplies anS
some food stores also were captured
The American troops had more
souvenirs-bayonets, carbines, field
glasses and revolvers-than they
knew what to do with.
Some of the captured material
such as clothing, probably will be
used to alleviate civilian distress
1t was indicated.
With the storming Of Agrigente
1t was announced officially that ir
the first six days of fighting ir
Sicily the American 7th Army hac
destroyed we'll over 80 enemy tanks
and captured, shot down or other
wise destroyed a score of enemy
planes.

AGRIGENTO. Sicily, July II de-
layedD The first American troops
to enter this Sicilian city were
greeted with loud cheers by the
civilian population, Pvt. Edward
Borycz of Detroit reported today
Pvt. Borycz, who is known to his
mates as Cold Steel because of his
disdain for enemy tanks and guns,
made light of the fighting, which
preceded capture Of the city.
I'VE took the town just at dark
Friday and lost only two men who
ran into machine-gun fire." declared
Pvt. Borycz, but we tossed a couple
OF grenades that finished off the
italians who shot our men. We came
in after crossing a field and had
little opposition"
With his buddy, Pvt. AL Grieb-
stein of Boston, Pvt. Borycz was one
OF the first American soldiers to set
foot in the streets of Agrigento.
People Were Friendly.
The people were very friendly"
he said. They cheered us and
shouted Victory for America. When
they learned we had had nothing to
eat for almost "a hours they brought
us water and some hardtack and
jam-all they had. They would do
anything for U.s.
The people were so hungry they
ra1ded spaghetti store and they
were grabbing anything they could
get to eat-even bread off the
street"
Near Pvt. BorNcz we're eight cap
tured Italian tanks. He gestured to-
ward them and said:
when we got here the tank COM
mander was ready to CO. but when
he saw us he didn't even fire a shot.
They just climbed out of their tanks
and came over and dropped their
weapons at our feet and surren-
dered.". ,.~.--
=, Asked for Cigarettes.
We were riding through Agrigento
in jeep when fat little Sicilian
who later identified himself as Ger
lando Picadello ran out from the
crowd shouting in broken English:
Give me cigarette"
The jeep stopped and We gave him
a couple of cigarettes and Picadello
spluttered out his tale of woe:
Six days no bread here. I have
to shut down my pharmacy-no Gus
toners, no money, nothing. I live
II years in United States-St. Louis,
Boston, New York I sell fruit in
my wagon and my two boys and
girl born in United States. I come
back here in 1921 and later no can
get back

Citizens of Agrigento Hail
Americans With Loud Cheers

Picadello began to weep bitterly
and pulled from his pocket photo
graph of a young man.
This my oldest boy" he said.
He killed two months ago with
troops in Albania. I want to go
back to America, please, right away.
Honest. 1 do. 1 want job there.
1 could be cook or watchman in
war factory. Lots of people 60 there
to make money. No money here"
Many Have Relatives Here.
The crowd of Sicilians about him
was jabbering and pulling at his
clothes as Picadello talked.
"All these people have relatives
in the United States" he explained.
They want you to take letters to
them telling they in trouble"
Typical of many Sicilians, who
have little conception of war, was
the old man who was found wind
ing up white ribbons which Ameri-
can engineers had laid down to
mark safe path through deadly
mine fields around a blasted bridge.
I'm going to take them home
and make suspenders out of them, -
he told the engineers.
They almost had to use force to
get the ribbons back.
The Temple of Concorda," a
yelloW-plllared ruin representing one
of the finest examples of classic
architecture. stands in the middle
OF a few scattered stone buildings
on a hill east of Agrigento where
the ancient city once fourished.
Ancient "Fox Holes"
The Italians had converted this
ruin into veritable Temple of Dis
cord" by placing a cleverly con-
cealed pillbox and gun emplace-
ment a few feet off the road lead
ing to it.
A group of American soldiers ap-
preaching the ruins after the fall of
Agrigento was more impressed, how
ever, by long marble burial crypt
sunk in the ground.
Say" said one, "they even had
fox holes in those days"
Broken stones, plaster and debris
Uttered many of the streets of Agri-
gento as the American troops en-
tered the city. There were few
windowpanes intact anywhere, and
one whole side of a bank building
had been blown away. Despite these
evidences of damage, however. police
said relatively few lives had been
lost.
Italian soldiers still were walking
through the town carrying their
rifles and looking for a place to give
themselves up-and get square
meal.

Douglas Air|iner Stars
In Two New War Roles
Hits Sicily with Porairoops;
Spons AtIontic with Glider

ADVANCED AIR BASE IN TUNISIA
Two epics of the air were written within
a week by that airline veteran, the Douglas
DC-3. In Sicily it led the invasion with
loads of paratroopers hours before sea-
borne fighters smashed the coast. For the
British it made aviation history towing
loaded glider for the first time across the
Atlantic.
Spearheading the Sicilian invasion. the
Douglas transports dropped load after load
OF paratroopers and supplies behind enemy
nerve centers-power plants, rail concentra-
tions, and air fields.
The Geronimo one of the unarmed and
unarmored Douglas transports, took beating
worse than average. An Axis shell smashed
a four by six foot hole in the side, tore
off the door and killed one trooper. Another
hit carried away part Of the left stabilizer.
he shock nearly spun the controls out of
my hands, the pilot said His co-pilot re-
ported that they had only half plane left.
Somehow that half kept flying; the Ger
onlmo dropped its troops and got home safely.
A flying colonel said after the action ::
GIVE them half a chance and they will
always bring you back"
Meanwhile another Douglas towed the first
glider across the Atlantic. Twenty-eight hours
after leaving Montreal, the glider floated to
earth with ton and half of vaccines,
radio and engine parts.
The Douglas transports were driven bv
Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp engines and
Hamilton Standard Hydromatic propellers.

Fortress Ups Performance
With Paddle Propeller
HomiIton Standard Plays Port
In High Altitude Bombing

SEATTLE, WAsH-A change in the
shape of the propeller blades helped make
possible high level precision bombing by
Boeing's Flying Fortress.
Concentrated Axis anti-aircraft fire had
climbed up to meet early B-l7's. The Boeing
Aircraft, Company set out to develop Fort
ress that would fly still higher.
First they slicked up the airplane itself
Then, cooperating with engine and Army
tcchnicians, they improved high altitude en-
gine performance through refinements in
superchargng. This called for greater blade
area on the propellers to absorb the added
horsepower in the rarifed atmosphere. If not
remedied, this condition was critical enough
to make the added engine power useless
Since Fortress design will not give ade-
quate clearance for a larger diameter pro-
peller, Hamilton Standard engineers had to
find another way to get the extra blade area.
A wider paddle propeller was the answer.
The new blade has given the vaunted
Fortress outStandinglv successful perform
ance at extreme attitudes, and has made the
plane more dreaded than ever to America s
enemies The paddle blade is being used to
advantage on other planes, notably the Con-
soldated Liberator.

Former Silk Weaving Mill
Now Fushioning Prope||ers

DARLINGTON. R. Idle for eighteen
years, the worlds largest silk weaving shed
has opened its doors again.
This time it will make propelers, not deli
cate silken fabrics The former home of the
Royal Weaving Company has become an
other production unit of the Hamilton Stand
ard Propellers division Of United Aircraft
Corporation
Conversion of the idle mill into a pro-
peer factory carries out Hamilton Stand
ards policy of utilizing existing facilities
rather than have the taxpayer provide gleam
ing new factories to handle the wartime need
for its products. Two other former textile
mills, located at Westerly, r. l., and Nor
wich Conn, already are at work building
propcllers.
In addition, Remington Rand, Frgidaire
and Observation-Disclosures have been licensed to
build Hamilton Standard propellers. The
Hamilton Standard home plant is now con-
centratlng more and more upon new and ad
vanced propeller models to insure that pro-
peller development in this country keeps far
ahead of the Axis.
Machinery, much of it production equip
ment from East Hartford, is now being
steadily moved into Darlington
Hamilton Standard Propellers' latest satel-
lite plant began operation the middle of last
month when handful of the many hundreds
of workers who will soon be located there
began grinding propeller blades.

STRATFORD, CoNN.-Unstinting trib-
ute to the 'men who keep em flying from
the air fields of the Southwest Pacific was
paid by c. J. Mccarthy, vce-president of
the United Aircraft Corporation.
Mr.. Mccarthy had just returned from a
24,00O-mile air inspection trip through the
fighting areas to observe the combat per-
formance of the Nays new Corsair fighter
Some of the Marine mechanics, who
worked under the near-primitive conditions
at Guadalcanal, received their training at the
Chance Vought plant here, Mr. Mccarthy
reported. Zone machine shop was a tent
equipped with an all-purpose saw, three 1athes
and grinder. With that the boys kept most
of the planes in the air three to six hours a
day" he said
He said those conditions no longer pre-
vail on Guadalcanal but added that with every
advance, repair units must move up too. and
mechanics must be ready to work with al
most nothing until supplies catch tip.
