Northern Italy to help Marshal Kessel-

One force of Croat patriots have taken
over control of the island Of Lussino,
formerly Italian owned, which lies about
so miles of the Dalmatian coast, and in

most important action is taking place.
Enemy airfields in Greece and on the

European Front

Battered and weary German cities
were given no rest last week as Allied
/ planes, striking from their British bases,
hammered away at important centers of
production for plane, submarines and
other war essentials. reaching deep into
Poland and Prussia yesterday to wind up
a successful week.
The effectiveness of the air war on
Germany was attested to by facts which
are just leaking out concerning the satu-
ration raids which wiped out Hamburg.
One report which is fantastic in its
horror. declared that the fires which
followed the concentrated placement of
bombs and incendiaries reached such
immense proportions that the flames and
smoke rushing more than three miles
into the air had created a condition ap-
proximating the movement of air in a
tornado and that the streets, air raid
shelters and buildings which were left
standing were literally sucked clear of
their oxygen and people were suf1ocated
by the thousands. In the air raid shell
ters alone, it was said that 10000 persons
had lost their lives through suffocation
and cremation.
Last weeks raids began with heavy
attack by Flying Fortresses accompanied
by long-range Thunderbolt fighters on
Frankfurt which occurred Monday after
night raid by the British on Kassel, 80
miles northeast of Frankfurt Sunday.
The damage at Kassel was extensive
though the raid cost the British "a
bombers.
Frankfurt, which is the center of oil
refining and chemical industries, had
been raided 36 times previously. No rest
was given the city after the Forts visit
for the RAF came right back at night
within II hours and dropped 500 tons
Of bombs. Ludwigshaven was given
lighter going over at the same time
Wednesday carrier-based American
! planes struck heavily at German Ship
ping off Norway aided by units of the
British fleet. A number of large ships
were hit by bombs and one 8,0OO-ton
tanker was badly damaged.
At about the same time, light bombers
struck in the direction of Paris ap-
! preaching near enough the city to see
the Eiffel Tower. Enemy airfields were
the targets
Thursday night the Raj bombed
! Stuttgart Friedrichshafen and Munich
to be followed by heavy American raid
on Bremen Friday.
1t was during the raid on Bremen
and Vegesack that the 152 enemy fighter
planes were shot down. The Flying
Fortresses and Liberators accounted for
130 and Tnunderbolts for the others.
Thirty bombers and three fighters were
lost in the battles.

mander, Lord Louis Mountbatten The
heavy rains which make summer attack
impossible will end this month, and the
Allies will probably strike quickly and
overwhelmingly to seize back Burma

again.
Mountains that reach up 10000 feet

valley Of the IrraWaddy and Central
Burma from the west coast. A few So
called roads run over notches in this wall
and lead from the inland valley to the
Jap bases at Akyab and Ramree.
That the Japs are using these trails
to supply their coastal bases in prepara-

FINE CAST SEEN IN NEW FILMAT
 10TH CENTURY

Law of the Tropics" dramatic love story set in the slumbrous at mosphere of tropical rubber plan tation, will open Sunday at the 20th Century Theatre. The film has a very fine cast, featuring Constance Bennett and Jeffrey Lynn in the starring roles with Regis Toomey Mona Maris and Hobart Bosworth in support.
 Lynn, in the role of a young rub Der planter, is informed while on his way to meet his financee from the United States, that she is al- ready married. He stops off in a waterfront dive to forget his troubles and he meets singer, play ed by Constance Bennett. Things happen so swiftly and so surprising ly, that it would be unfair to reveal any more of the story.

CAPITOL BILLS MODERN COMEDY
 NEXT FEATURE

For newness, novelty and defi- nie breakaway from conventional filmfare, Universals Between Us Girls" coming Sunday to the Capi- tol Theatre, is declared to be the seasons champion screen attrac- tion. The picture, directed and pro- duced by Henry Roster, boasts more legitimate "firsts" than any feature movie of recent months, perhaps years. Diana Barrymore, Robert Cummings and Kay Fran cis have the leading roles.
 The movie, described as a mod ern comedy, concerns a young stage star who masquerades as l2- year-old tom-boy to help her beau- tiful, too-youthful mother win the handsome man she loves. Compii- cations arise, however when the 12-year-old also falls in love and finds herself in deeper and deeper difficulties while attempting to plONc ollC 10 d lull-BlOWll WOliiuli instead of a child.
 Diana Barrymore's second screen appearance, the picture awards her her first starring film role, teamed with Robert Cummings.
 John Boles, who appears oppo- site Miss Francis, rates a first" as the picture serves as his initial start since his retirement from the screen few years ago. Since then, he has continuously toured the two Americas in concert but, smitten by touch of nostalgia, he chose to return to the screen in Be tween Us Girls"
 Andy Devine joins the galaxy of "firsts' by playing his first tailor made dressed-up role, as Miss Bar rymore's manager, in his first top budget picture.

 It is doubtful that her bomb rid dled factories could have done much more than keep step with losses anyway. It is plainly impossible to make any kind of accurate estimate as to how much Nazi aircraft pro- duction has n hamstrung, but it is equally that Germany is not going ~Jme anywhere near the 10000 l.. 24,000 ships it was es- tinated she turned out last year.
 American British production this year is planned at about 100000. Part of this will go against the Japs, but Russian production CMos- COW won't say what it is) make up some of the difference.
 Another thing that must be giv- ing Goering fits is the fuel situa- tion. The Ploesti oil refineries in Rumania are big source of Axis aviation gasoline. We have already given Ploesti serious setback, and bases in Italy would permit our squadrons to set up a milk route" to Rumania like the one they flew from England to Germanys Ruhr valley.
 The Germans have already ad- mitted Allied air superiority in cer- tain localities, and there seems to be no doubt that they are losing the air war. Perhaps right now there is debate in high places in Berlin over whether it would be wise to sue for peace and use the remain ing German planes-and tanks sub marines and factories-as political weapons at the peace table rather than as military weapons in los- ing fight. The counter argument, by top Nazis. would be that they are in the soup anyway and might as well take chance on fighting it out.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Japs Build Air Bases

While they are slowly being
squeezed out Of the Solomons and
central New Guinea, the Japanese
are feverishly constructing string
of bomber and fighter bases on the
Celebes islands and the Dutch East
Indies to the west.
Reconnaissance by Allied planes
reveals that the Japs have laid many
new concrete runways in these ter
ritories, and are laying up stores Of
supplies in warehouses spread
around these air centers.
Apparent purpose Of these air
bases is to thwart any move Cen
eral Macarthur might make against
the rich oil, quinine and tin lands Of
the Indies from Australia to the
east, or Lord Mountbatten might
make from India to the north.
In New Guinea, Jap forces are

further movement to the north.

48-HOUR WEEK.:
For More Production

To meet the demand for record
production, the War Manpower COM
mission ordered II different areas to
go on 48 hour week, and advised
112 others to prepare to shift to the
longer work period.
To make up for the shortage of
manpower, the VINO determined on
the 48 hour week to get more pro-
duction per person. Previously, the
48 hour week had been in effect in
40 out Of II areas where the VINO
had declared a labor scarcity exist
ed. Now, the remaining 81 areas
must go on the longer week.
In the other 112 areas, the VINO
saw the possibility of a labor short
age. If such shortage impends,
preparations will be made to meet
it before it occurs to interfere with
production.
The 48-hour week already has been
instituted in such industries as log
ging, non-ferrous mining and smelt-
ing, and iron and steel.

FREE SPEECH:
For Employers

Employers have the right to adj
dress their employees on the eve of
union election in a plant, the SUI
preme court ruled in effect by refus-
ing to review the decision of lower
court granting the employer this
right. In 1941, the high tribunal had
decreed that the national labor re-
lations act did not prohibit an en-
ployer from expressing his views
on labor policies or problems to his
employees.
In disputing the lower courts opin-
ion in the present case, the National
Labor Relations board commended
that the employers right to address
his employees could not be consid-
cred free speech where the employ
ees were virtually compelled to lis
ten to him, and might be influenced
by any insinuation he might make
about their standing in case they
joined a union.
