 Make DeLiUeries Under Ne1U Ruling

There seems to be general misunderstanding on behalf of retail stores relative tO the rul- ing issued by the Office of De- fense Transportation today on restriction of deliveries on soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, ice cream, magazines and radios. These commodities, according to the news release, were en- tirely prohibited from delivery by retailers; however, whole salers may still carry on their deliveries in conformity with the new rulings set up by the Office of Defense Transports ton.
 The Office of Defense Trans portatiOn ordered the following changes in local delivery serv- ices, with a few eXceptions:

Italian Ports
 Are Hit Hard
(Continued from Page D

to southern Europe.
 The Italian mainland ports of San Giovanni and Reggie Calabria were bombed by U. s. heavy bomb CTS from the Middle East command, which set fire to tanker and two other ships and blasted a railroad yard in daylight raids. Sardinia and Pantelleria were hit by planes from Mai Gen. James H. Doolittle's strategic air force. Four small ships were sunk and eight others hit.
 Ten enemy planes were shot down boosting the total destroyed since last Wednesday to 329, including three JU-83's shot down by RAF planes off the North African coast line last weekend.
 (Allied airplanes roared out from England over northwest Europe again today, following a night in which RAF heavy bombers were in- active. Twenty-Five German planes raided the British south coast last nightO
 On Huge Scale
 The Allied attacks on Pantelleria have now reached a scale compar- able to the weight of the Axis at tacks on the British island of Malta at the time the enemy was trying to neutralize Malta in preparation for NaI Marshal Erwin Rommel'S scheduled offensive into the Nile valley. Rommel failed and the Axis found thier bomber raids on Malta were too expensive, because Spitfires were destroying as many as 32 Ger man craft in a single day.
 Since last Wednesday, however, the Allies have lost a total of only g aircraft-a ratio of about one lost for every 15 Axis planes de- stroyed.
 Nine important targets in Sar- dinia were bombed by the American planes, which included flying for tresses, Marauders, Mitchells, Light ningS and Warhawks. One supply ship exploded and others were left in flames. Ground targets were bombed and heavily strafed by the Allies, who lost no planes over Sar- dinia.
 Airfield Attacked
 A large formation of Mitchells attacked the Albia- -Venafiorita air. field in North Sardinia, destroying aircraft on the ground and starting fires among buildings. Eight en- emy fighters dived head-on at the Mitchells and their Lightning es- corts. The Lightnings shot down three and the Mitchells got a fourth.
 Lightnings and Warhaws escort cd other bombers attacking Car loforte harbor, in southwest Sar- dinia, as well as Alghero airfield. Lightnings also attacked the FL mas and Monserrato airfields near Cagliara and fortresses attacked Ter ranova and Uausania, south of Mad | delena.
