order to report to their base until
the operation was completed.
A later report by the German
news agency DNB said that the at
tack was made by British Com
mandos with a strength of five COM
panies and that 1t lasted only a few
hours ending in complete failure. /"
IF this raid was designed to test
Italian resistance when defending
their home soil then once more the
test has ended in brilliant fashion
for the Italians" a Naz military
commentator was quoted as saying.
A United Press dispatch from
Stockholm, quoting the Berlin cor
respondent of the Swedish newspa-
per Allehanda said that the British
Commands landed on Lampedusa
on Monday but were reported by the
Axis to have been wiped out after
several hours fight.
Lampedusa lies 80 miles off the
east coast of Tunisia and Is ITO miles
west of Malta.
AN attempt at Decentralization by
British units on the island of Lam
pedusa was Immediately repulsed by
our defenses, which sank some naval
barges," the communique said.
1t was recalled that the Italian
high command last month reported
that the Allies were concentrating
invasion bargeS at Sousse, the near
est Tunisian port to Lampedusa.
The German high command COM
munique, broadcast by Radio Ber-
lin, said that the enemy yesterday
attempted to take Lampedusa by
southern attacks"
The italian garrison repealed the
attacks, sinking several barges and
Wiping out the enemy troops who
landed, the communique said.
Once Penal Colony
LampeduSa, one of the Isole Pei
agile islands belonging to Italy, is a
low, partly barren possession upon
which the Italians before the war
maintained penal colony.
1t is about seven miles long and
two miles wide, and its best and
almost only disable harbor is a shall
low inlet on the south coast. 1t once
was an regular steamer run from
Porto Empodocle in Sicily.
Lampedusa is about 80 miles
northeast of the Kerkennah islands
which British forces seized early in
April. 1t is about the same distance
south-southeast of Pantelleria, the
constant target of Allied airmen for
the past month.
Pre-war population of Lampedusa
and its sister island, Linosa, 80 miles
north-northeast, was less than 5000

Review of THE Human Com
edy"-
With an over-abundance of naiv-
cite, William Saroyan, pOet-dram-
atiSt-Short story wviter-essayist
and last but not least, novelist
tells the incredible story of the in
credibly well-behaved, high spirited
and never defaulting Macauleys-a
poor but well-meaning fatherless
family in his most recent work THE
HUMAN COMEDY.
Mrs. Macauley is the dauntless
widow whose too saccharine char
acter causes her to observe all the
bitter ironies of life with JObian pa
thence. Needless to say, that this
| particular character is one of the
most original to be wrought in
black on white. Although we'll in
formed of the cruelties and terrors
of the world and well scathed by
them herself, she manages to smile
and laugh throughout with a
charming bravadO that causes us to
wonder where such persons exist
if at all.
The adOlescent Homer Macauley,
breadwinning telegram messenger,
upon whose shoulders rest the fl
nancial burden of the Macauley
family, trudges through his daily
PAGES with the steps of martyr
rung unuspectingly.
Despite these incredulities, one
little item in the whole story echoes
forth with a vibrant charm and
beauty never before attained in fic-
ton the character of the three
year-Old Ulysses-and through this
lad we observe the early stages of
humanity's complexities. SarOyan
understands his child psychology
he has the patience and the delight
full tolerance for them-but for
them alone in this new book.
However, the other people he de-
picts in his human comedy deserve
to play a role in immortality be-
cause they are too good to live in
this terribly inhuman world. If
these "goOdy" people ever did exist,
enmasse as he pOrtrays them: the
ever singing telegrapher, ever sweet
and ever patient young ladies,
three soldiers who wish for nothing
more than to sit in the movie house
beside a girl, ETC., etc, yes! if they
ever did exist, they deserve to be
enshrined for the immortal niche,
or better fate if that is possible.
His effervescent novel never
reaches the heights of his success
full play THE TIME OF YOUR
LIFE. The play depicts the crimes,
Illustrations, ills, heartaches. and
contracts, them brilliantly against
the inner beautiful hopes that his
characters are employed to suffer.
He displayed his people with their
insides out, so to speak. However,
you never see the 'inSides" Of the
characters he injects into the novel.
You know that he has something
to say, but all you get is breathy
texture.
The novel and the play preach
the philosophy: in the time Of your
life ive-sO that in that good time
there shall he no uglinesS or death
for yourself or for any life your life
touches" Yet when this is applied
to the theme of the HUMAN
COMEDY, 1t falls too short because
it isn't supported with the con-
trasting and conflicting background
that makes the play so terribly
vital and pertinent.
The novel Is nothing more than
. collection Of Indifferent short
tales injected with a deep breath
Of fantasy which never quite be-

ETHIOPIANS TRAINED
AS INVASION AIDES

Washington, June 8.-CUP)--
Ethiopian soldiers are being trained
to take part in the Allied invasion
of Italy, it was revealed today by
a member of Emperor Halle Selas-
sizes cabinet.
Wilma Deressa, acting minister of
finance and Ethiopia's leading dele
gate at the United Nations Food
Conference, spoke of his country's
aims and aspirations after a con-
ference with Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull.
The 35-year-old DeresSa said
Ethiopian soldiers now are train
ing with modern weapons instead of
the spears and antiquated rifles with
which they tried to defend their
country against the Italians in 1886.
1--WE have offered to take part in
the invasion of Italy and hope to
have place in the vanguard of
the assault" he said.

COMMON PLEAS

common pleas, the general assembly
has trenched far upon the jurisdic-
ton of the superior court as it ex-
listed when the constitution of 1918
became effective, and the question
whether the act can be sustained is
a very close one"
The opinion stated that "the fact
that the act of 1941 gave to the
court of common pleas exclusive
| jurisdiction of certain cases, appeal
able only to this court, does not
make the law invalid. . The fact
that for rs years the grant of this
exclusive jurisdiction Gin civil mat
trs) to these courts has not been
questioned goes far to subStantiate
the fact that the Legislature may,
under the constitution, best eXclus-
i've jurisdiction over certain cases
in courts inferior to the superior
court"
With a State Supreme Court de-
cision issued today unfolding the
validity of the common pleas court,
memorandums on two local appeals
from that court are expected to be
issued shortly. Decisions on the
city'S parking meter case and the
suit of Charles Latin against Mich
olas Apalucci, both of which went
from the local common pleas court
to the higher court, were awaited
when Judge A. Cornell of the super
Tor court handed down decision
which declared the common pleas
court set-up to be illegal, and were
believed to be held up by the new
development.
Judge Cornell'S decision aroused
considerable interest here, with
much speculation resulting ON the
disposition of the famous meter
case in view of alleged illegality of
tn? court where 1t was tried. AL
though lawyers continued to file
complaints in the court, many ques-
tons were presented on the advis-
ability of entering cases on the
docket pending ruling on the
courts legality.

JAPS TO SALVAGE
SUNKEN VESSELS

London, June 8.-UP)-Axis radio
broadcasts asserted today that the
Japanese were beginning salvage
operations on numerous Allied war
ships which have sunk in the
Pacific. They include the $4,000 ton
British battle cruiser Repulse which
was sunk by Japanese aircraft in
the China Sea in December, l941.
The Tokyo radio said that Japa-
nese engineers had started their
attempts to raise the Repulse. An
Italian broadcast quoted Tokyo re-
ports that numerous" British,
American and Dutch warships, in
GLIDING 10,000-ton cruisers and large
merchant vessels, had been refloat-
ed in the last Is months and were
now in use by the japanese.

Working With Russia

From the New York Evening Post
The truth is that we have not vet
fully accepted the fact that We shall
have to live in the same world with
Russia after the war. Only one leading
Western statesman, so far as we can see.
has made up his mind. He is Anthony
Eden, Foreign Minister of Great Britain,
who last year negotiated Britains 20
year treaty Of mutual assistance with
Russia. That treaty also calls for mu-
tual planning of the peace. 1t seems as
if Eden is basing English policy and his
own future on the hope of working with
Russia. We Americans have no such
treaty. merely an indefinite executive
agreement. Shouldn't we, now, during
