wide tangle resulting from liqui-
dation of the Fascist party. The
German generals are reported to
believe. Throughout Italy tens of
thousands of little officials held
all sorts of key jobs by virtue of
their Fascist party connections.
Many vanished and still have not
been heard from, while those who
returned to work at the direction
of the Badoglio government now
lack the authority and prestige
to excuse their orders.
The German military desired to
avoid any such chaos in the
Reich and decided to leave the
Nazi facade because of the effect
on internal morale, it was said.
Goering, long aware of the gene
rails view and reportedly in their
conference, was chosen to arrange
the support of the army program
by Hitler and other party leaders.

Ball proposed that the Republl-
can party 60 even further and
adopt "jobs for soldiers" pro-
gram, in addition to the benefits.
Hatch said he found Balls COM
ment refreshing" in contrast to
the critical statement issued by
Chairman Harrison Spangler Of
the Republican National Commit
tee after the presidents broad
cast.
Senator Ball, instead of con-
demning and findin fault as
might have been expected from a
Republican senator, Immediately
recognized the genuine merits of
the presidents proposal and with
out hesitation approved and en-
dorsed the same" Hatch said.
''He went even further than the
president and demanded a jobs
for soldiers program. This sugges-
ton is, of course, one with which
everyone is deeply concerned and
one which all should try most dill
gently to work out. There cannot
possibly be any partisan attitude
on the question of finding jobs for
soldiers.

A significant indication of the
swift Russian advance and possibly
of tagging German morale was
given in the communique which
said 48 German tanks 'in perfect
working order" were captured in
the Kharkov area and that Is of
them were the Cotton Tiger tanks.
Seventy-seven other Nazi tanks
were smashed in the sweeping bat

German aircraft were shot out of
the skies
Only patrol activity and artillery
and mortar fire were reported by
the Russians on all the other sec
tors of the expansive front, in con-
trast to the situation described in
the German communique, which
gave the impression that the whole
front was aflame, from the Kuban
in the Caucasus to Murmansk in
the Arctic.
The Germans said the Russians
attacked with fresh forces on the
Orel front, threw numerous battle
planes into renewal of the fight
ing along the Kuban and made
breakthrough attempts below Len
ingrad and on the Murmansk front.
All these, said the Germans, were

attacks such as last nights pre-
sumably would reduce still fur
ther Badoglio's means of carry
ing on the war.
The Fiat airplane and engine
works and the Italian Royal Arsen-
al are located at Turin. In the
last big raid on that city, July II
the Raj lost 13 planes.
While this peace propellent was
being dumped into northern Italy,
medium bombers of the Northwest
African Air Force smashed at
targets at the southern end of the
mainland, again raking the Gro
tone air field and blasting roads
and railway bridges at Marina
di Catanzaro.
RAF Mosquito bombers stung
the Rhineland, losing three planes,
and nightfighters jabbed air fields
and rail targets in France during
the night.
Today Allied fighters surged
back and forth across the channel
in force, maintaining the pressure.
In the cross-channel foray to-
day two waves of RAF Bostons
bombed the naval stores depot at
Rennes, France. One of the fliers
said the targets was "well and
truly plastered' with bombs fall
ing among sheds, barracks and
large buildings.
The first attacking wave drop

rooftop height. The second wave
let 60 with instantaneous bombs

dred feet the Air Ministry said.
The bombers met no fighters,
but weathered a stiff barrage OF
flax. One bomber was reported
missing.
Crewmen who participated in
the raids on Milan, Turin and
Genoa said the three cities were
as weakly defended as ever"
The Air Ministry said the at
tacks revealed the 'significant
fact that the Germans have not

Axis efforts to evacuate secondary
elements of their beaten army and
bring through fuel, food and ammu-

both columns were within about so
miles of that last remaining escape
outlet to the mainland.
The American forces advancing
eastward along the north coast
were reported to be meeting stiff
opposition in their drive on San
Fratello, their next objective, and
British troops hammering north

have captured intact a large Axis
armored train with all its big guns
and ammunition.
Toarmina, through which some
Axis forces must pass in the north
ward retreat along the coast from
Catania toward Messina, was heav-
lily shelled yesterday, along with
the exposed coastal route, by Allied
Wa1ships.
Both the German and Italian
communiques admitted today that
their forces had been forced back

German announcement, which was
broadcast from Berlin and recorded
by the Associated Press. said there
were mo major fighting opera

that ''in some sectors our troops,
without enemy interference, disen-

Axis troops were still resisting in

mitted that Allied pressure had

IRISH POTATO MISNAMED

Doubly misnamed like the guin-
ca pig, which is neither pig nor
from Guinea, the Irish potato is
neither potato nor from Ireland.
Thriving in cool climates at the
northern limit of agriculture, it
was first discovered growing al
most on the equator in Peru. Its
Spanish discoverers called it ''pa-
pas" 'Batatas" was their name
for what is now known as the
sweet potato, which is thus the
original bearer of the potato name
