ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN

incredible first-hand reports of
broken morale among Italians in
Sicily poured in at Allied head
quarters today.
Italian troops were said to be
surrendering in organized units.

Alexander announcing the determi-
nation of the Allies to smash Fas-

The people shouted, This is the
day of our deliverance."
A British officer who returned
after six days in Sicily said the peo-
pie themselves were tearing down
the symbols of the Fascist party.
They expressed bitter feeling
against the Germans, whom they
blamed for the shortage of food and
clothing.
White bread, brought by the in
vading armies, was said by Sicilians
to be the first they had eaten in
eight years.
They appeared relieved when in
formed that forcing youths into
forced labor battalions by invading
armies was Nazi practice, not an
Allied practice.

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS. July 19-There is
every indication that Sicily's Ger
bini airport, west of Augusta, has
been abandoned for several days as
plane base.
There are no planes there al
though this airport is strategically
the most important on the island
1t has long been puzzle to OBJ
servers.
The main airfeld is excellently
built, but its permanent installations
were hammered SO heavily that they
were useless before the invasion.
Photos show, however. the con-
tlnuous appearance of satellite fields
in the neighborhood. These new
fields have shown up day after day.
These satellite fields are narrow
strips about $500 feet long through
wheat fields. They could be made
level enough fer a plane to take
off or land in few days. and nat
ural camout1age make them difficult
to spot. Planes are likely to mis-
take the ploughed stretch.
These satellite fields are attacked
as soon as they are spotted There
was a race between the bombers and
bulldozers until the Germans gave
up the job as hopeless.
The restored Gerbini airport is
likely to be valuable prize. The
ability Of the Allies to use the new
landing strips in day or so may
require mobile servicing crews,
moved rapidly where they are
needed.
Under the Allied system, crews
attached to squadron service one
or two planes which they learn to
know Intimately The Germans may
have crews ready to service any
plane. They enable the plane at
