Dr. Ira N Gabrielson director Of
the Fish and Wildlife Service. in a
letter to fishing writer's saws: AL
though We cannot announce vet the
amount OF ammunition that may be
released for hunters this fall. We are
certain that ii will not be enough
TO take normal harvest of wildlite."
Which means there still is some like
lihood Of the release of small
amount.
He points out that unless the am
munition is used judiciouslv it will
not go fay. and because a reasonable
harvest of Wildlife is of paramount
Importance he urges that nimrods
make each and every shot count
He also asks those who can do so to
hunt near home TO take the load off
public transportation facilities. par
ticularlv If they happen to live adj
lacent to excellent hunting areas or
where 1t is most GeSirab BILE to thin
out game and birds because of the
liability Of damage to farm crops.
The use Of such places will ease
the load on the better-known hunt
ing grounds.
Mr. GabrielSon suggests that local
SportSmen'S organizations pool their
stocks of ammunition. so that each
one who wants to go hunting this

over Rome for two and one-half
hours today in the first raid on the
Italian capitals military targets.
The warning sirens sounded
about II a. M, broadcast dispatch
of the Transocean Agency said, and
soon afterward the first bomber
formation appeared.
They were said to have been fly
ing at IA height of about 10000
feet in several waves.
TranSocean said bombs were
dropped east of the city in various
districts. One, the agency reported,
exploded about 300 yards from the
Lateran basilica of the Vatican.
1T is feared possessions of the
Vatican will suffer heavy damage
in further attacks of this kind,
since some of them are situated near
a railroad, for example, the Lateran
basilica and the basilica of Santa
Maria Maggiore," Transocean said.
The bombed district of Rome was
described by the Nazi propagandistS
as presenting the horrible aspect
which enaracterises bombed cities
torn up streets, destroyed and burn
ing houses. people killed and
wounded, dying horses in the streets,
cars under debris, women and chill

Little Cheer
In Promise
OF More Gas
BY JANET S. MADISON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, July 10 - CUP -
Welding of the last joint in the
big Inch" oil pipeline at Phoenix
vile, Pa, today symbolizes Petro-
leum Administrator Harold L. Ickes'
promise to recommend within 80 to
so days larger share of the avail
able gasoline for the east.
1ckeS, in weekend statement,
said completion of big Inch" would
make it possible to release tank cars
and provide transportation f1exi-
bility." He plans to recommend an
equalized rationing program, under
which fasteners would get a little
more gasoline and midwest and
southwest states less. The change,
however, will not have much effect
on driving restrictions in the east.
The mild degree of optimism
aroused by Ickes' statement was
echoed by the petroleum industry
war council. 1t endorsed 1ckes' pro-
posal Fundamentally, declaring that
within 30 to go days the transporta-
ton shortages responsible for I'M
equal gas rationing in the east will
have disappeared.
Not So Enthusiastic
Not so enthusiastic was the group
of eastern congressman headed by
Rep. Fred A. Hartley, Jr., r., N. j.,
who have been agitating for action
to relieve eastern shortages.
I'VE begin to see signs that our
program for the relief of the short
age is being considered Hartley
said, but then fastened to accuse
Ickes of "stalling," in saying there
might be no action for 80 to 60 days.
I'VE want action and we want it
now Hartley said. IF Mr.. Ickes
will allocate $4,000 garrels of addi-
tional petroleum for the east, trans
portation facilities are available to
bring it to the east, and now.
THE people of the east coast are
fed up with excuses and alibis.
They want more gasoline and less

The man target of the Allied
bombers was the marshalling yard

trains are made up. 1t is about
1900 yards from government build
ings but between two and three
miles from Vatican City.
Important Railway Yard
The yard, according to the COM
munique, sis of greatest Importance
to the Axis war effort and in par
ticular for the movement of German
troops" 1t was believed here that
the raid probably occurred when
troops trains were being made ready
for departure to Sicily where Allied
armies are driving toward the Ital-
ian mainland.
'.sPilots and bombardiers employed
on thi smission were particularly in
structed to avoid damaging religious
and cultural monuments" the COM
munique said.
Prior to the raid, which was car
ried out by the Mediterranean air
command, Allied planes dropped
warning leaflets. Leaflets addressed
to 1.-The citizens of Rome. They adj
vised the Italians that the only OBJ
jectives of the Allied airmen were
military objectives, war industries,
military installations and airdromes.
But the leaflets warned the people
that their Fascist government will
say that we are trying to. destroy
cultural monuments which are the
joy, not only of Rome, but of the
civilized world" They also warned
that "to lend plausibility to their ly-
ing statement" the italian govern
ment or its German accomplices
might arrange to bomb Rome, cor
even Vatican City"
The Allies admitted that 1t was
impossible to avoid destruction OF
civil buildings entirely, but that such
destruction would be limited to
minimum, that the raid was occur

people could see for themselves

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Moscow, July 10. - (UP)
- The Red Army's advance
on Orel, German stronghold
at the hinge of the southern
and central fronts, gathered
momentum today as the
Soviets emerged from sniper-
infested forests and plunged
on across rolling hills. Rus
sian vanguards at some
points raced far ahead of
their main forces and, over
running Axis noble artillery, at
tackled the enemy from the rear in
their haste to blast path to the
big German bastion which has re-
sisted Soviet counter attacks for
more than two years.
German broadcasts reported
that Russian attacks had spread
from the Orel area along a front
reaching 600 miles to the south. "Is-
olated penetrations" of the German
lines were admitted in the Kuban
area of the northwest Caucasus,
along the Mus river near Tangan-
rog and along the Donets river.
Another broadcast said that the
greatest tank battle of all time"
was being fought near Belgorod, 165
miles south of OrelO
Other Attacks Reported
diminish and German sources re-
ported other attacks, but on a
smalled scale, on the Karelian,
Leningrad and Lake Omen fronts,
possibly as preludes to full-scale Of
fensives in those sectors.)
Dense forests on the outer ap-
preached to Orel had slowed the
pace of the Soviet advances from
trem south, east and north, but
even with this handicap the Red
army gained from two and a half
to four miles yesterday, captured a
number of villages and towns and
killed more than 5000 enemy Of
ficerS and men.
Seventy-eight German tanks, 20
armored cars and 1877 enemy planes
were destroyed, the high command
reported.
(Radio London said that the
Russians at one point were within
10 miles of the main highway and
railroad from Bryansk, over which
move most of the supplies and re-
Inducements for Orel. Supply trains
already were under fire from Rus
sian forces, the broadcast said)
One Thousand Dead
A detachment of guards stormed
one strongly-fortified village and
killed upwards of 1000 men before
finally dislodging the enemy. A
strong German counter-attack was
frustrated in a neighboring sector,
the communique said, and Hun
dreds of enemy dead, along with II
wrecked tanks, were left on the
battlefield.
Heavy rains still were falling,

vance appeared to be picking up
speed rather than slackening
