Stationary Carrier
BY IVES GALLAGHER

NEW YORK, June al - fFo
Hitler lost his first battle
to keep America and Britain
out of Europe as General Dwight
d. Eisenhower'S forces seized
Italy's Malta - The tiny island
of Pantelleria midway between
Sicily and Tunisia.
A tiny dab Of land on the
maps Of the Mediterranean, Pan
telleria's Importance as the first
stepping stone to invade the con-
tinent far outweighs its size.
1t is the air gateway to Sicily
and Sardinia. which in turn
are the air gateways to Italy
and France.
The Importance Of Pantelleria
lies in its airfield and under.
ground hangers.
BOON TO FIGHTERS
Shore range fighters such as
Spitfires. Warhawks and Aircob-
ras cannot successfully fly the
90 miles from Tunisia TO Sicily,
provide air cover for a landing
force by fighting off German
fighters and then return TO Tu-
nisia. The single motor allied
fighters could fly over Sicily
but if engaged in a battle would
not have enough gasoline to re-
turn to Tunisia. This meant
that if an invasion Of Sicily were
attempted only the American
P38 with its long range could
provide fighter cover for the
initial landings with the aid OF
what fighters could be flown
from Malta.
The Pantelleri; airfield will
bridge the water gap between
Sicily and Africa. While the
fields capacity is limited it can
be used by allied fighters re-
tuning from engagements over
Sicily as a refueling point.

Message Due
FDR Moy Clarity
Matter to Congress

WASHINGTON, June LIP
Attempting to dispcl what he
I c r m d confusion, President
Roosevelt said today he might
send Congress message deal
ing with the whole field of in
flation, including the closing of
an inflationary gap between ma
tional income and things it is
possible TO buy.
AS for specific tax legislation,
he remarked to press confer
ence that the details are up to
Congress.
AT his Tuesday press confer
ence, the chief executive said,
some confusion developed over
his discussin of taxes. He said
he had been speaking of the
theory of taxation, although
reporters generally got the idea
he was preparing 10 ask Con-
grcSs for more revenue as a
means of plugging the initiation
airy gap.
Both taxes and savings could
be sued together TO combat in
tlation, the president said, but
he did not state tina. they would
be employed. He added that he
had not even determined finally
on whether to send Congress a
message.
Mr.. Roosevelt voiced a hope
that compulsory savings would
not be necessary and indicated
that he did not interd TO ask for
them at any time in the near fu-
ture, although he said it is de-
sired that the inflationary gap
be closed as far as possible.
But as for outlining just how
the gap could be filled in, MIR.
Roosevelt preferred not TO pro-
vide a blue print, declaring that
is up to Congress. Nor would
ne comment on the possibility
that the new 20 per cent with
holding tax on incomes (above
exemptions, TO become effect
i've July l might be boosted as
high as 40 per cent.

PANTELLER|A HOSTS white FLAG

Issue
Erupfs

The question of whether or not
Mt. Clemens needs an extend
ed school program flared into
the open today, following Supt.
l.. Wade Fasts statement
Thursday that at present there
appears to be no urgent demand
Mrs. c. II. Malbin, who heads
the Child Care committee of the
Volunteer Office of Civilian De-
Tense, insists that there is def
mite demand, which will grow
with the close of school. Her
opinion is supported by Mrs.
Russell Stark, CDVO director,
who says she has referred lat
least so inquiries from her Of
flee to Mrs. Malbin.
Money for such program
could come to Mount Clemens
through the Lanham Fund, only
upon application by the school
board. The proposed program
would care for the children of
working mothers all day six
days week for a sum not to ex-
coed dollar a day, permitting
the mothers TO engage in war
industries, or to fill positions va
Gated by men entering service.
SURVEY INSUFFICIENT
Fast maintained today that the
Civilian Defense survey con-
duced to determine the need did
not contain sufficiently definite
information upon which the
school board could base an ap-
plication for funds, so he con-
Quoted his own survey, by send
ing questionnaires home from
school with the children.
Mrs. Malbin stated today that
she is of the opinion that many
missionaries sent out by chill
dren never reached the homes.
She further objected to the final
statement on the questionnaire
sent out by Fast. i. e. "Of course,
if you can find a neighbor to
take care of your children, this
would be a much better solu-
ton"
Mrs. Malbin says that this
might have discouraged replies
from those mothers who did re-
ceive questionnaires.
Mrs. Malbin ridiculed the idea
of dumping the problem on
