T0DAY'S WAR
 MOVES
 (Reg. U. s. Pat. Office) By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst

The campaign in Sicily has thrown considerable light on the nature of the task confronting the Allies in Europe and the effort the Allies will have to make in the much bigger fights which President Roosevelt said last night lie ahead.
 The president disclosed that the initial assault force which landed in Sicily involved the use of 5000 ships which carried 160,000 men, 14,000 vehicles, 600 tanks and 1900 guns. This huge expedition was fol- lowed day and night by thousands of reinfortements.
 The brilliant success of the Sic- ilian campaign, now in its final stages, does not obscure the fact that it was made easier by several factors which, had they not eX- isted, would have made the Sicilian picture quite different today.
 Most important of these was the negligible resistance of the Italians, who formed the bulks of the is- lands defenders. It also is clear by now that the Germans planned only a delaying action on the island, be- ing unable to spare the many divi- sions which would have been neceS- sary to hold it.
 The Allies had complete mastery of the sea and air. Through the wise planning of General Eisen- mower, they had the advantage of surprise. The landing was made on the southeast coast, the most weakly defended section of the S- and, whereas the enemy had ex- pected the attack in the west and mad concentrated the bulk of his defenses and forces there. Allied air power prevented a shift of forces to offset the original bridgehead.
 It does not follow, therefore, that Sicily can be taken as a yard stick or that similar propitious cir cum stances will be found on the European continent.
 That is particularly true of Vest ern Europa, which is well fortified not only on the coast but deep in- land. German air power, which was not manifest in Sicily, certainly would make a different showing in Europe.
 In the case of southeastern Eu- rope, however, it is possible that the Sicilian success might be repeated. The upheaval in Italy and Italys probable early withdrawal from the war, has altered conditions radical ly.
 The way things are shaping up in Italy. and the reversal of the mili- tary balance on the Russian front, make it seem likely that the Allied time table for Europe will be ad- vanced by many months.

Crews Amoze Jops AtAttu

During the recent American cam paign on Attu, American Army En- gineers, working under fire, built many more miles of roads iii seventeen days than the Japanese completed in eleven months when they were unopposed on the island.
 These roads are not like the Wor- cester Turnpike or the Merritt Parkway but they are roads. never theless, over which supplies food, ammunition and clothing were mpved-by tractor, truck and jeep.
 American bulldozers and scrapers began work on the beach and moved inland over hills, mountains and ridges up to within rifle shot distance of the front lines. They made possible the American ad- vance all the way across the is- land.
 The principal road at Massacre Bay was once smal lstream. Doz- ems of tractors charged along the river bed using the gravel on the bottom for the roadway. This road follows the course of the stream, and Bad Turn Ahead" signs stand | in a foot of water and mud.
 Moving into the hills, bulldozers claWed through the tundra, cutting away topsoil to three and four foot depths. Sometimes this sub- dirt was dry and solid. Usually there was mud anywhere from six inches to three feet deep.
 In seventeen days Army Engineers paved the way to victory through the mud where the enemys small efforts had failed.

Housing Program Here
 ToBeAmended By MIA
Officials Reported Taking Cognizance of Needs of
 City; Original Figures Being Revised in Capital

An expansion of the war housing program in Waterbury in the near future is anticipated by City Con- troller Cornelius F. Maloney, chair man of the war housing committee, following a conference this week with John M. DobbS of Boston, regional representative of the Ma tional Housing Administration in New England.
 MT. Dobbs in a telephone conver- Satjon with the local controller in formed him that a recent housing program for the Waterbury area, which had been submitted to Wash ington officials, had been recalled last week and was now being re- vised upwards, because the MIA had become convinced that housing con- ditions in Waterbury were serious, required increased quotas, and de- manded prompter attention.
 Some weeks ago the local war housing committee was informed by William H. Davies of Hartford, who is MT. Dobbs' representative in Con- necticut, that Waterbury was to get additional war housing, including 100-person barracks, and increased quotas in public housing, private conversions, and private construc- tion. It was this program which was recalled from Washington with the intention of revising it upwards on the basis of later figures for this area which show increased demands for certain types of labor from now through May of 1944.
 In his conversation with MT. Dobbs MT. Maloney requested that efforts be made by the MIA to bring housing units, now under construc- tion or being converted, on the mar ket as soon as possible. The lat ter pointed out that on the basis of figures obtainable in the local War Housing Center and the office of the FPHA at Hamilton Heights there were more applicants now than could be accommodated by units ex- pected to be ready in September.
 MT. Maloney also stressed the im- portance of insuring the local crit ical manpoWer area of sufficient new or converted housing units by the | first of October.
 Attention was also called to the need of barracks in this city to take care of the heavy labor needs of local factories, with the local 1lous- ing committee head pointing out that the city had been promised one such project as this and could util- iZe it right at the present time, with expectations of need for more 1 shortly.
 Before he new housing program is launched locally, it is expected that MT. Dobbs will come to this city to confer with city and housing off, cials.
