OTHERS TO FOLLOW

In the wake OF the move made
by Times Classic teams such
leagues as the Michigan Major,
Metropolitan All-Star ClasSi
West Side Classic and those
sterling "unforgotten men of the
Travelling, who have been almost
gaS-rationed out OF existence as
FIR az pubic notice goes, are eX-
pected TO follow suit.
II shouldn't be necessary TO eX-
plain conditions again after IL
years. There are, however, five
classes in the event with a dif-
ference of 30 pins per class,
ranging from Class A and 925
average and above TO- Class + for
those teams with TIA, or less,
Every establishment in the state
has been supplied with entry
blanks which contain all informa-
ton.
But enter now as time is fleet
ing and Dec. 81 will be here in no
time. Early entries will receive
first consideration. File your

Terry's chance 10 take over as his
father had urged SO often. Terry
did. And as the youngest shoe
operator in Detroit ne was maxi

property became tenantleSs.
Terry liked both bowling and
tennis, but lacked the time to par

the same time for a neighborhood
establishment catering 10 family
appeal and 10 six-club leagues.

The Allies now control a zig-zag

The line starts at the Sorrento

finally runs northward to Gioia and

BATTLE OVER
The battle of the Salerno bridge
head is over, an official announce
ment said. and the battle for
Naples is approaching. The battle
field southeast of Salerno, where
the Germans sought unsuccessfully
10 drive the Anglo-American troops
back into the. sea, was said to be
Uttered with destroyed enemy tanks,
guns and equipment.
The Allies inflicted heavy losses
on the Germans, both in killed and
captured material, a spokesman re-
ported. Non-GermanS are among
the enemy combat prisoners now
being captured, he said, but he did
not specify their nationality.
In the air, American four-engin-
ed Liberators swept l60 miles north
of Rome and bombed the harbor at
German-held Leghorn. Italy's third
largest commercial port and the
site of an important gasoline re-
finery.

Macarthur said the Supreme COM
mander of the southwest Pacific
believes Australia is the only Pac-
ific base capable of mounting large
scale offensive operations against
Japan because of lack of industrial
and farm resources in China,
Burma. the south Pacific, Attu or
Hawaii.
MASSIVE STROKES
My strategic conception for the
Pacific theater, which l outlined
after the Rapuan campaign and
have since consistently advocated, -
Macarthur said, "contemplates
massive strokes against only main
strategic objectives, utilizing sur
prise ana air and ground striking
power, supported and assisted by
the fleet
This he described as the very
opposite" or island hopping-a
phrase sometimes used about his
own campaign in the southwest
Pacific-which he said was the
gradual pushing back of the en-
emy by direct frontal pressure with
the consequent heavy casualties
which will certainly be involved"
Need for storming the islands
held by the enemy could be obviat-
ed by bolder course, he said.
Island hopping, with extravagant
losses and slow progress-some press
reports indicating victory has been
postponed as late as l949-is not
my idea of how to end the war as
soon and as cheaply as possible,

demands to make of Russia which
must be satisfied either by negoti-
alton or by war. He claimed, how
ever, that Hitler had not contem-
plated war against Russia.
4-Britain must evacuate Iraq,
rich oil field area.
5.-The peace agreement contem-
plated by Hess would have to con-
tain a provision for reciprocal in
Identification of British and Ger
man nationals, whose property had
been appropriated as result OF
the war.
6-The proposal could be consi-
dered only on the understanding
that it was to be negotiated by Ger
many with a British government
other than the present Churchill
government.
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Hess said that Churchill had
planned the war since 1886 and
that his colleagues were not per-
sons with whom Hitler was willing
to negotiate. At that time the war
outlook for Germany was at high
tide.
Hess emphasized that Hitler real
ly wanted" a permanent under
standing with Britain on a basis
which would preserve the British
empire intact.
The No. 2 Nazi said that his
flight was designed to give the
British a chance to open conversa-
tions without loss of prestige but
he warned that if the chance was
rejected it would be Hitler's duty"
to destroy Britain entirely and keep
the country in state of permanent
subjection after the war.
The British reply was to seize
Hess and imprison him as an ordi-
nary war prisoner. Later he was re-
ported to have developed neurotic
spells in which he would berate or
attack his jailers and to have de-
veloped a persecution complex.
Hess restated these terms In a
signed document, dated June 10th,
and making only one new point
that simultaneous peace must be
concluded with Italy Throughout
it was made clear to Hess that there
was no question of any talks or
negotiations of any kind taking
place with Hitler or his govern
ment.
