 Mines and demolitions were numerous and the weather bad" a communique said in describing the front.
 Mignano, six miles southwest of Venafro and on the main Capu2- Rome highway, represented the most important immediate objective of either army. Its capture would outfiank the enemy lines between the town and the coast north of the Garigliano.

Of the 1926 samples of foods and drugs examined at the Experi- ment Station in New Haven the past year, olive oil showed the greatest percentage of adulteration and mis- branding. Fifty-one of GA official samples submitted by the dairy and food commissioner were illegal, mainly because they were sold as olive oil but contained substitutes of common vegetable oils, such as corn, cottonseed and peanut oils. Results of the examination of olive oil and other food and drug prod ucts are described in the forty-sec- ond report on food products and the thirty-fifth report on drug prod uctS, which is available on request

WAR CRIMINAL

The United States intends to punish all
war criminals: Hitler, Tojo, and the de-
posed Mussolini and even the small-guy,
just as soon as they may be taken.
Already number of the lesser Amer
lean Quislings have been indicted in U. S.
courts for treasonous activities against
their homeland. Although none of them
is in this country, long list of Amer
leans who went to Germany and Italy
before the war to learn and disseminate
Axis doctrines was read in federal court
recently. They were accused OF treason.
These "Americans" would have made
Benedict Arnold turn green with envy.

u. S. soldiers in North Africa heard over

You can be sure that they took full ad
vantage of any internal strife which may
have been present in our nation and
pounded it into the ears of our soldiers
They are the ones our Justice Depart

AN ARGUMENT FOR
A SMALLER ARMY

A story argument for a smaller, more
compact, army was voiced this week in
a San Francisco hearing conducted by
senate military affairs subcommittee.
Harry Bridges. CIO waterfront labor
chieftain, testified that almost half of the
war cargo loaded out to Pacific coast
ports destined for our overseas forces
is damaged before it reaches its destlna-
ton.
Bridges blamed the damage on mex
perienced longshore help hired to supple
ment the dangerously low supply of wat
erfront manpower.
The shipping industry is only one on
which the far-reaching draft has had
an alarming effect. There are hundreds
of other industries which have been like
wise impoverished by the drafting of key
men.
1t is very doubtful whether the several
hundred experienced cargo handlers,
men who must be specially trained and
have considerable experience before they
are satisfactory, could be of more use to
the total war effort carrying a rifle than
''babying" precious cargo. For what good
is rifle of it has had the sights broken
off it in the shipping process?
The entire problem of creating crack
army out of American men III short per-
iod of time and yet keeping up the flow
of vital war materials is delicate one.
Now, when the nation is near the bot
tom Of its stockpile of available soldiers,
more caution must be taken to insure that
the cogs of war are kept running smooth
ly and efficiently.
1t would be wise to make no further
enlargements Of our forces and concen-
trate on obtaining requirements and MAX
ing sure that the best of fighting equip
ment in the best of condition gets to our
fighters.

Out

MOSCOW, July 28-(UP)
The Germans have begun
large-scale Withdrawals be-
low Orel, the army organ
Red Star said today at the
battle for that south central front
bastion neared a climax.
With the Red Army athwart
section of the vital Orel
Bryansk railroad and with the
Orel-Bryansk railroad and with the
highway running southwest from
Orel under Soviet fire, the Germans
were reported fighting a desperate
rear guard delaying action to cover
the retreat of large forces south of
the city to avoid enlightenment.
The enemy forces Systematically
burned whole villages to the ground,
blew up bridges and roads and alb
ducted civilians as they fell back,
Red Star said.
ABANDONS POSITIONS
Front reports of the German
withdrawal followed an announce
ment in the Russian communique
that the enemy was being forced to
abandon position after position
under increasing Soviet blows.
In two days of fighting, one unit
south of Orel was credited with kill
ing 1000 Germans and smashing &c
enemy tanks.
The Russians generally gained
two and a half to four miles and
captured more than SO villages
yesterday in tightening their iron
arc around the Orel bulge, where
some 250,000 enemy officers and
men are threatened with Sum-
mer Stalingrad."
Fighting also flared on the Lenin-
grad front with the Russians i'm
proving their positions in limited
offensive toward Mga, 80 miles
east of Leningrad and IA miles
south of Schlusselburg. The recap
ture of Mag, a junction of four
railroads on the edge of the Soviet
Corridor south of Lake Ladoga,
would improve Leningrads COM
munications and relieve the north
western front. .
Advances also we're reported near
Belgorod, 165 miles south OF Orel.
On all fronts yesterday, the RUS
slams disabled or destroyed 80 Ger
man tanks and shot down "A planes.
The heaviest resistance now was
being encounted in the thickly pop
ulated area north of Orel, where
the Germans were counterattacking
in great strength in an attempt to
detain large Russian forces while
their southern troops Withdrew.

Hitler Break on
Italy Defense Said
Cause Of Duce Fall

MADRID. July 28-CUp)-A break
with Adolf Hitler over defense OF
Italy at their Verona meeting July
10 while Rome was being bombed
led directly to the fall OF Benito
Mussolini, a neutral diplomat just
back form Rome said today.
He said the two dictators broke
when Hitler refused further aid in
defense of Italy and advised Mus
solini he would sacrifice southern
and central 1Laiy to Allied armies
when the time came.
"a Madrid report broadcast by
London radio said Hitler refused to
defend any of Italy beyond a line
on the Pc River plain in the far
northern section of the country)
When Mussolini reported to King
Victor Emmanuel on the results
of the meeting the monarch asked
for Mussolinis resignation on the
ground that his Fascist regime no
longer was able to defend the
country, the diplomat reported.
Your Majesty, if that is your
wish, am quite ready to do so, .
the diplomat reported Mussolini as
replying. Mussonini then repeatedly
advised the King that he was tired
and i'll, but asked to be allowed to
resign according to the Fascist
party procedure. The King acceded

Gil at pm. Saturday followed. The

FLAVOR OF TYRANNY
Santa Monica Outlook

In one of the most indefensible actions
of his entire administration, President
Roosevelt has ruled that members of the
armed forces shall not appear as wit
nesses before the special House committee
investigating the Federal Communica-
tions commission.
This commission enjoys the special
favor Of the administration for reasons
which are not difficult to understand.
1t exercises large means of control over
the nations radio and has been notorious
ly partial from the beginning. While
no one would charge that the FEC car
ries its partianship to the extremes prac-
ticed in totalitarian countries, it is un-
deniable that it has controlled the radio
in manner tending to favor the Roose-
Welt administration and it's friends. In
addition it has frequently resorted to re-
pressive methods amounting to denial
of the right of free speech and opinion.
The special house committee investi
eating the FEC has charged that the lat

SET BOMBING MARK
In New Guinea, new bombing
record was set for the second
straight day when Liberators and
Mitchells, in seven attacks, dropped
1913 tons of explosives in 40 minutes
on villages in the Salamaua area,
touching off big fires and scoring
direct hits on gun positions, a
bridge, enemy barracks and wire
less station.
Dense smoke obscured the tar
gets even before the planes cleared
out and big explosions occurred at
several points. Northeast of Mt
Tambu, where American and Aus
tralian ground troops were fighting
toward Komiatum, on the trail to-
ward Salamaua, sharp patrol
| clashes continued.
Other planes raided Lac, enemy
base farther up on the northeast
New Guinea coast, hitting at barge
concentrations and supply dump
areas.
