uary IL. Each was placed on $500

Bowling alley proprietors and

officials for resembling of this rul-
ing while the war emergency exists.
The appellants pointed out that such
age restrictions were lifted for most
industries and businesses to alleviate
the manpower situation and that
bowling which at present IS enjoying

considered a necessary attribute to
the recreation of war workers.

the Allied position in the early stag
es of the Italian campaign in a

That campaign began with the
Fifth Army strength amounting to
only three infantry divisions and
the Eighth Army to little more
than a corps, he said.
The original landings at Salerno
were made by one American and
two British divisions in desperate
military gamble because there was
insufficient time, after the end of
the struggle in Sicily, to prepare
other forces for an amphibiOus OPP

Captain Ruwet has been in the
Army since August, 1910. He had
been trained in the ROTC at Uni
versity Of Connecticut through

listing he went to England and in
November, 1912, was with the first
troops to land at Oran as the North
African campaign opened.
He remained in front line action
throughout the campaign but, after
its close, was made a member of the
Allied Headquarters staff and as
signed to the strategy department.
Six months before he went over
seas, Captain Ruwet was married to
