BY JOHN 4. REICHMANN United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, Aug. 28. (UP)-Lord Louis Mountbatten's departure from Washington indicated today that President Roosevelt and Prime Min ister Churchill intend discussing European military strategy when Churchill arrives here next week from Canada.
 Mountbatten, Allied commander in southeastern Asia, left last night for an undisclosed destination after two days of discussions with U. s. military and naval leader on plans to oust the Japanese from Burma He is expected to turn up next in London-and later in Chungking- for further discussions in drafting final plans for the campaign out lined in general terms at the Que bee meeting between Churchill and MT. Roosevelt.
 Churchill's coming visit was an nounced late yesterday. The exact date of his arrival has not been re- vealed, but Quebec reports said the radio address he has scheduled for Tuesday will be made from here.
 An Allied Push
 Observers believed the renewed Churchill Roosevelt talks would touch on wide range of subjects, including an Allied push into Europe, and relations with the Soviet Union.
 The two leaders, in their joint news conference winding up the Quebec meeting, said approval had been given to concerted forward action" by the armies, navies and air forces of Britain and the United States in both the Atlar\c and Mediterranean. MT. Roosevelt of fered his own suggestion that an- other big Allied push had been blue printed, but said it could be revealed

WAY IS OPEN '
 FOR NEW DRIVE ON VILLA LAPS
BY BRYDON TAVES United Press Staff Correspondent)

(Unlted Press Stair COrreSp0ndent)
 Allied Headquarters, South west Pacific, August 28. = (UP) - All of New Georgia Island was in American hands today and the way was open for an offensive to wipe out the isolated Japan csc garrison at Villa, the last enemy stronghold in the central SolOmOns.
 A communique announced that organized resistance on New Georgia had ceased. Remnants of the Japanese force at Bairoko Harbor, 10 miles north of Munda air field, refused to die to the last man for their emperor and sneaked out by small boat at night across Kula Gulf to Villa, on Kolombangara 1s- land to the northwest.
 5000 Sandwiched
 With New Georgia and Vella Lavella to the north of Kolomban- gara in American control, Villa and its garrison, estimated at as many as 5000 men, were sandwiched be- tween two Tank forces. Allied planes were striking at Villa with iftensifying blows.
 Villas situation was similar to that @ the Japanese on Kiska in the Aeutians after Attu was captured. Their position will eventually be- come hopeless
 The enemy abandoned large stores of equipment and food at Bairoko, giving the Americans no opposition in the final liquidation of the ob- jective for which drive was started after Munda fell on August 3.
 The commmuique announced that American troops already were ex- tending their holdings south of Kol ombangara by occupying small is- lands west of Baanga, just off Munda.

BOMBS BLAST
 GAPS IN ITALY
 RAILROADS
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD United Press Staff COrresp0ndent)

Allied Headquarters, North Africa, August 28. - (UP)- Furiously attacking Allied air fleets widened bomb gouged gaps in the shaky Italian railroad system in the Naples area today.
 Turning from air fields to smash at communication lines, the Allied planes de- stroyed 20 enemy fighters out of forces totaling more than 100 that tried vainly to stop the assault.
 The day and night attacks ranged as far as Sulmona, only "A miles east of Rome, and an official communique said they resulted in "great damage" to vital enemy rail- read routes through the lower end of the narrow Ital- ian peninsula.
 American twin tailed Mitchell bombers shot dow n16 enemy fight CTS of nearly 50 that opposed them over the Benevento railroad yards 35 miles northeast of Naples where the explosives spread destruction among rolling stock and a locomo- tive words.

Thousands Qf Bombs

Hundreds of thousands of bombs, ranging from mighty four-ton super block busters to two-pound incen- diaries, were scattered over electri- cal supply and motor factories clus- tered just south of the medieval walled town and on important rail- way installations throughout the area.
 British mosquitoes, fast tWin-en- gined light bombers, joined in the crescending offensive with raids on the bomb-pocked industrial Ruhr as Berlin got a second night of respite after three successive night raids.
 Beaufighters of the fighter com- mand kept the assault on railway targets and air fields in France, Bell gium and Holland on round the clock basis with new attacks last night.
 The attack on Nurnberg was the eighth. On August 10, more than 1,500 tons of bombs were dropped on the city and reconnaissance pho- tographs showed that 108 acres of the industrial area were damaged in that and in the six earlier raids.
 Apart from its importance as an industrial center, Nurnberg is one of Germany's principal railroad junc- tions. Two main trunk lines. one running from the Ruhr to the south east and the other from Berlin to Munich and the Brenner Pass, cross inside the city.
 Nazis Off Guard
 The sudden shifting of the weight of the RATS night offensive from Berlin to southern Germany was believed to have caught the NaN defenses off guard. Nurnberg lies 240 miles south of Berlin and it would be most difficult for the Ger mans to shift large forces of night

ASKOV
Unclaimed Mail.

Here is another instance where the
Post Office department likely will
be blamed for the loss of mail. A
postal card was mailed at Askov a
few days ago on which the address
side of the card is totally blank
The correspondence side of the card
starts out: Dear Pearl" and is signed:
"Vi."
Another card at the local post Of
fee is addressed to Mrs. Gust Wilhey
which party is unknown. If this
card is not called for within a certain
period it will be relegated to the
waste basket as the full name and
address of the sender is not given
Take Askov as an average and
multiply that by 10000 similar post
offices and you will have picture
of the amount of so-called mike
mail that post offices spend extra
time and effort on. The moral is:
Be sure that you have the correct
and complete address on your mail
as well as your complete return ad-
dress And finally there is first class
mail for Lloyd E. Profit, who also is
unknown The addresses should call
as soon as possible for this mail.
