Japs Say Fierce
Fighting Raging
BY UNITED PRESS

Capt. Suzu Kurihara, japanese
naval spokesman, said today fierce
fighting was in progress on Vella
Lavella island between American
Amphibious invasion forces and the
japanese defenders.
In face-saving propaganda
statement, Capt. Kurihara denied
the Allied headquarters announce
ment that $50 japanese were cap
tured at Vella Layella when U. S.
troops landed there Sunday, Tokyo
radio said in a broadcast recorded
by United Press San Francisco.
Official u. S. statements said
there was no organized land resist
ance to the invasion, but Capt.
Kurihara asserted:
Pierce fighting is still in pro-
gress as the enemy attempts to hold
on to their insecure positions. The
enemy claims that they have COM
pletely occupied the island is en-
tirely false" ......
Capt. Kurihara said approximate
ly 1000 American troops were killed
outright or drowned during landing
operations at Vella Lavella.

The forgotten man in Hollywood's
wild west Buffalo Bill, is ridin' to

clarifying the badmen of the plains,
movie makers have finally gotten
around to the greatest hero of
them all.
And all in million dollar tech
nicolor picture with Joel McCrea
playing the great Indian fighter,
buffalo hunter and scout complete
with long hair, mustache and
goatee.
OF course, Bills film biographers
discreetly are ignoring his elbow
bending activities and his domestic
battles. Joel plays the role Boy
Scout fashion. There's no mention
of that buffalo killing contest down
Sheridan county way in which Bill
alternated at killing buffalo and
magnums of champagne. Or of his
marital difficulties with Louisa
Frederici the st. Louis girl he mar
ried.
Mrs. Buffalo Bill, as played by
Maureen O'Hara, and pappy get
along very nicely in the picture ex-
cept for mild threat of romantic
triangle. You just gotta have an
other girl Hollywood says. So the
high-priced scenarists have given
Buffalo Bill a beautiful Indian doll
named Dawn Starlight, who beneath
the makeup and feathers will be
recognized as Linda Darnell.
FACT AND FICTION
The movie also ignores the his
torical fact that Bill was juvenile
Dead End kid, knocking off his
first Indian at the age of Il. The
film does stick to fact, thought,
when Bill kills Chief YelloWhand

Allies Move Into
New War Phase

of Stettin.
These bombers hardly had re-
turned from their nights devasta-
ton before other Allied planes
roared off from British bases to
take up the attacks on the day
shift.
American Flying FortreSseS used
the shuttle method of bombing the
reich yesterday when they flew
from Britain to Africa, blasting
war plants at SchWeinfurt, 65 miles
east of Frankfurt, and Regensburg,
| SIS miles southeast of Nurnberg, on
the trip.
The American raid was costly
36 bombers were lost, the largest
number in any American mission to
date-but the results justified the
Shuttle-type raid would be used
often by the USAAF and the Raj.
FIRST RAIDS
Other Bin Fortresses from north
west Africa carried out the first
raids on the invasion coast of
southern France yesterday, bomb
ing German airdromes in the Mar
seille area.
Southern Italy has been under
constant air hammering by planes
of the African air forces, with rail-
roads, highways and bridges the
most frequent targets in a wide
spread campaign to paralyze Axis
transportation.
Brig. Gen Frederick, L. Anderson,
chief of the 8th u S. Air Force
bomber command, felt sufficiently
optimistic about the progress of the
air offensive to predict that ulti-
mate collapse of German resistance
was "obvious and inevitable"
The Allied Mediterranean COM
mand announced that all resistance
in Sicily had ceased. American
and British troops that brought
the Sicilian campaign to a trium-
phant conclusion by sWarming into
Messina yesterday found that once
teeming port in ruins.
From the Sicilian side of the
Messina Straits, Allied guns We're

The Axis radio spread reports
that Allied fleets were massing in
he western Mediterranean for a
new assault, probably aimed at
Italy. Military experts in London
believed the Allies might try to get
n quick knockout punch against
lettering Italy.
The battle Of Italy was opened
by American and British planes
sweeping up and down the south
ern end of the peninsula.
In eastern Europe. the Russian
army was making gains toward
BryanSk and in the Spas Demensk

opposition from German infantry

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 up
President Roosevelt has authorized
induction of war industry strikers
and imposition of strong sanctions
against unions or employers failing
to comply with War Labor Board
orders, it was revealed today.
The White House announced is
suance of an executive order en-
poWering Economic Sterilization
Director Fred M. Vinson to direct
cancellation OF draft deferments of
workers failing to obey WLB
orders, Withholding of checked-off
dues from recalcitrant unions or
cancellation of government con-
tracts and priorities of non-com-
plying employers.
The order meaSurably strength
ened WLB's hand in the still-un-
settled coal mine dispute. There
was immediate speculation on the
possibility that WLB would act to
withhold miners dues from the
United Mine Workers if the UNIV
persists in its refusal to sign new
contract with the mine operators.
BOARD DEFIED
There also was speculation that
it might be used in the u. S.
Gypsum Corporation case. That
company, headed by Sewell Avery
who defied the board for long
time in the Montgomery Ward
case, has refused to comply with
WLB order directing inclusion of
maintenance of membership
clause in a union contract.
The provision for withholding of
union dues recalled Mr. Roosevelt's
press conference remark during one
of the coal crises last spring. He
said then that he couldn't take
over the union. This order does not
allow him to do that either, but
government control of dues would
be a strong weapon for forcing
union compliance.

Peace q
Sc en-
Aim IS
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

IONDON, Aug. lo.-tUP)-O11l-
cial sources here are strongly echo
ing warnings in Washington and
Quebec against oyer-optimism re-
garding an early peace. but there is
an equally strong feeling that the
decisions being made at Quebec are
designed to achieve that objective.
The deliberations at Quebec must
be considered in the light of state
ments made by President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill after
the CaSablanca conference in which
priority was given to a three-step
plan for defeat of the Axis.
ONE, TWO, THREE
Number one was the battle of the
Atlantic, number two was Africa,
number three was the so-called
European citadel.
Another significant statement was
the one by Chrrchill in which he
said the Casablanca plans were for
the succeeding nine months. 1t has
not been 7 months since that meet
ing and Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt
may outline plans for the remaining
portion of this year as well as 1914.
Effects of the Casablanca strategy
on the Allied situation now is
abundantly evident. For two months
after the meeting the tide of the
| Atlantic battle continued to run
against the Allies. Then the re-
| of hp niu
Atlantic number one priority began
to be reflected-not only in steady
and often spectacular decline in
ship sinkings but in the increas-
ing strength of the Allies at the
active war fronts which increased in
direct ratio to available shipping
tonnage and declining losses of
supplies to U-boats.
SUPPLIES PILE TT
When Churchill ara Mr. Roose-
velt met at Casablanca, Allied sup
plies actually were piling up all
along the line in the United States
due to the lack of sufficient ship
ping. Now supplies are moving out
in huge conveys which are crossing
the Atlantic virtually unscathed.
The second priority point of the
Casablanca conference also has been
quidated-Africa and now Sicily
has been Wrested from the Axis.
1t can easily be seen that Allied
successes in the battle of the At
lantic plus the huge saving in
Mediterranean shipping now is rap
idly piling up excess tonnage which
is the real key to the Allied OPEN
ing of a Major Western European
| front.
The real question before Mr..
Roosevelt and Churchill is whether
sufficient shipping now is available
To put the question another way
how long is it going to take, with
what shipping is available, to as
semble forces necessary for storm
! ing Europe?
Imperial Valley press., 1943-08-18
PLAN COUNTER MOVE

When the Russians reached Khar-
kov and hemmed it in from North
and South, the fall of the city
seemed at hand Now the Germans
have exerted their strength in what
appears to be an attempt at a
counter offensive, and the issue is
momentarily in doubt.
If the Germans fail here, gen.
eral withdrawal to the line of the
Dnieper from its upper reaches
above Smolensk to the region of
Odessa on the Black sea might be
imperative. That would be espec-
tally so if. the Germans are unable
to withstand the heavy Russian
pressure around Bryansk and the
Spas Demensk sector below Smol-
enSk
Such an outcome would be a
major military defeat for the Ger
mans but not a decisive one. They
would lose the bulk of their most
valuable territorial gains in Russia
and would have the advantage of
a shorter line and the use of the
many divisions now South of the
Ukraine and in the Crimea to help
defend it.
Unless developments in Western
and Southern Europe prove dis
astrous meanwhile, the Germans
could try to hold the new line
against a Russian winter offensive.
After the losses of the summer
campaign, however, they would need
everything they now have and per-
haps more to hold it, which means
there could be no Withdrawals to
meet the great threat in the West.

The Allies moved quickly today
from the conquest of Sicily into a
new phase of the War-a phase in
which it was apparent that air
power would play its greatest role
yet in forcing Germany and Italy
into submission.
Axis reports indicated that an
early invasion of italy was eX-
pected. There has been specula-
ton that invasion of western
Europe and possibly of the Balkans
have p,icri.-es on the Allied time
table.
Regardless Ct where the next
Allied blow falls, it appeared certain
to be accompanied by crushing
air offensive that few would have
believed possible few months ago.
Utilizing great air fleets based in
Britain the middle east and north
west Africa, the Allies have been
able to strike at will at almost any
point in Germany, Italy and the
occupied countries.

Co-Belligerent Prisoners

The situation of Italian prisoners in the
United States has remained unchanged since
Italys surrender and subsequent elevation tc
the status of co-belligerent. This situation
though anomalous and perhaps embarrassing
is understandable in the light OF more urgent
problems confronting the Army Yet it seems
that, knowing the temper and sympathy OF
most of these prisoners. they might be given
a greater opportunity than they now have to
do their part as co-bellgerents by helping to
relieve our manpower shortage.
representative OF the Bowling Proprietors'
Association recently went to Washington to ask
that war prisoners De allowed to work in bowl.
ing alleys as pin settlers. 1t seems perfectly
reasonable request. Obviously this BODY al
prisoners represents variety ct skills The
barrier of language should not keep these men
from doing satisfactory Job in MANY kinds
of manual work.
