u. 5. Invasion Forces
Too Weary 10 Care
About Duce's Fall
BY THOMAS n. HENRY,
Star Stan Correspondent.

SOMEWHERE IN SICILY fDe-
layed), June 26.-Mussolini's custer,
rumored for hours in advanced
American invasion force sectors be-
fore 1t was confirmed, stirred con-
siderable speculation yet failed to
arouse much excitement among the
troops, perhaps because OF their
WEAKNESS.
Informed military sources. how
ever, generally were agreed that
Germans could not afford the effect
of losing Italy as war partner.
They insist the Germans must offer
strong resistance in the south to
protect airfields from which, IN Al
he'd hands fighter escorts could be
provided for bombers to devastate
the southern pocket Of the Reich
over the Alps. Much industry has
been moved to this region within
the past year.
The fields would be within an L.
1OO-mile radius of this industrial re-
gion, now SO vital because of the
destruction wrought upon the Ruhr.
The importance Of close fighter
fields can hardly be overestimated.
this having been illustrated in the
African campaign.
These sources added, however,
perhaps Germany could abandon
Southern Italy and pour vast
quantities of men and supplies into
the north.
The new italian regime may be
the FIRST step in an attempted with
drawal from the war and a separate
peace bid, but American officers say
the Italians still are formidable
fighters.
Sicilians say little about the
change of regime. AMGOT procla-
nations appear on walls, and civil
officials are instructed to carry Co.
They have job ahead to clean up
their cities and are cooperative,
providing the necessary labor.
Palermo's teeming population
came from hiding and thronged the
streets today. The people seemed
little impressed by the change. For
the most part. they appear fairly
we'll dressed and fed.
Shops are beginning TO open amid
the ruins. but have little TO sell but
postcards and souvenirs. People sing
in the streets despite the terrible
beating the city has taken.

Many United States soldiers have
been caught in Palermo with only
French money and no place to draw
rations. The Italian hotels could
accept only lire or United States
money.
The consequence has been that

ardent desire of the Italian people
for peace has led to their acceptance
of the suggestion of the President

they get rid of their Fascist leaders.

through neutral countries, it is
clear that the Italian people are
greatly heartened by the change,
and feel that it portends restora-
ton of peace in their troubled
country"
Mr.. Patterson said Mr. Churchill
had estimated that Italy contributed
only 10 per cent of Axis strength
in Europe. and added that Germany,
whose high command obviously had
long ago discounted heavily the
battle potential of Italian troops,
still is strong in men and munitions.
The engagement in the vicinity of
Catanla shows that the German
fighting spirit has not diminished.
And. despite the indications that
Italy may collapse, Mr.. Patterson
noted. there are reports that Ger
man troops are now fortifying the
region above the Pc River in North
ern Italy, occupying strong positions
which would present great diff
cultieS to an attacker.
However, an Italian collapse
would be serious blow to Hitler,
MI. Patterson said. Germany has
used italian troops to garrison cap
tive countries, including the policing
of Yugoslavia and Greece, permit
ting Hitler to use his own divisions
on fighting fronts. Garrisoning of
those countries would be IAN I'M
comfortable problem" for Hitler, he

Conquest Of Sicily
Is Matter Of Days,
Patterson Declares
BY the Associated Press.


The conquest of Sicily probably
will be complete in few days, Act
ing Secretary of War Patterson pre-
dicted today, despite the strong re-
sistance of the German troops in
the northeastern part of the island
and the evidence that they have
been reinforced recently.
Mr.. Patterson said the custer of
Benito Mussolini was a political
development, and its military sig
nificance is not yet clear.
so far as We know" he added at
a press conference, mo formal or
informal overtTes looking to peace
have been made to the Allies by the
new Italian regime.
Until there is an offer of sur
render, you may be sure the Allies
will continue to press the war on
Italy with all the vigor of which
we are capable There is no doubt,
/ think, that that might accelerate
their speed in trying to get out of
the war
Resistance Undiminished.
There has been no evidence of
diminishing resistance by the Axis
in Northeastern Sicily, where the
enemy appears to have more than
three German mobile divisions and
at least as many italian divisions
But Mr. Patterson said the Ameri-
can, British, French and Canadian
troops now control four-fifths of
the island, and the American 7th
Army, moving eastward along the
north coast, threatens to outf1ank
the enemy in the vicinity of Messina
1T is clear" he said, that the
battle for Sicily has entered its final
phase, and the conquest of that
island ought not to be more than
matter of days.
The speed and vigor with which
our troops swept over the island
furnish a remarkable example o.
what may be done by trained and
disciplined soldiers under courageous
leadership. There are risks in such
an advance, and these risks were
recognized and accepted. The dar-
ing of our generals has been amply
justified by the results.
1T is safe to say that Italy's
adverse military situation was the
prime thing that forced the elemina-
ton of the founder of Fascism. The
