Flying Fortress crews reported the

that it meant carrying a terrific

Fall of Palermo Is Beginning
Of End in Sicily, Eliot Says

In fact, considering the losses he
has already suffered, and the very
poor support the Italians are giving
to the Germans, 1t hardly seems pos
sible that two German divisions,
with some additional German deS
tails amounting perhaps to the
equivalent of another division, can
continue to defend both the coastal
defiles by which Messina may be
approached.
Rugged Mountains In Center.
This northeastern peninsula of
Sicily has Messina at its extreme
tip. 1t has rugged mass of noun
tains in the center. stretching from
Mount Etna on the Ionian Sea over
to the Monti Nebrodi which faces
the northern coast The defile be-
tween there two main masses in the
valley OF the Alcantara River, COM
manded by the road center of Ran
dazzo, whose importance has been
previously emphasized in these
articles.
The British 9th Army is attacking
the left OF this position at Catania.
Canadian and American troops are
approaching the center in the gen.
eral area OF Nicosi- i-Leonforte. If
these two points fall into our hands
the Germans will have only one
further lateral highway on which
they can depend-that from Naso
through Randazzo to Catania. The
American 7th Army is now pressing
along the north coast to attack the
right of the German positions. and
1t is not as yet certain how much
resistance they are encountering, or
at what point the Germans will elect
to make firm stand.
What is clear, is that every yard
the American 7th Army gains puts
the German defenders of Catania
In greater peril. Gen. Eisenhower
and his field commander, Gen. Alex
ander, are pursuing with success the
tactics which brought them victory
In Tunisia swift nlaneuver, surprise,
followed by rapid exploitation.
There seems little reason to sup
pose that German resistance in
Sicily can much longer continue, or
that the Germans can evacuate any
considerable number of their re-
naming troops on that island. They
have been held too fast by Gen.
Montgomery's constant hammering
to get away, and now as Gen. Pat
ton closes upon their flank and rear,
the end is close at hand.

BY MAJ. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT.

The fall Of Palermo marks the
beginning of the end of the Sicilian
campaign.
Palermo is, of course, of value to
us as a naval base. It gives us our
first base on the Tyherrenian Sea,
that inclosed, triangular sea of
which Sicily forms the south shore,
Corsica and Sardinia the west, and
the peninsula of Italy the north
east.
From Palermo, our ships and air
craft can now operate most effec-
lively to prevent any last-minute
attempt to get supplies or REIN
forcements from italy into Sicily, or
to evacuate Sicily by sea. From
Palermo also we can interrupt,
much more readily than hitherto,
communication between Italy and
Sardinia.
Palermo is also of value as a
port of entry for our own supplies
and reinforcements into Sicily. Its
dock facilities are the most extern
sive OF any port on the island, and
appear to have been captured
largely intact except for damage
inflicted by our own bombs.
Gives Entry Into Coastal Defiles.
But the chief military advantage
which we shall derive from the cap
ture of Palermo is the fact that it
gives us entry into the coastal de-
file between the northern noun
tains of Sicily and the Tyherrenian
Sea. 1t guards this northern ap-
proach to Messina as Catania
guards the eastern. The distance
from Palermo to Messina is, of
course, much greater than from
Catania-160 miles as against so.
However, our forces are reported
having moved eastward a consider
able part of this distance, perhaps
as much as half way.
The situation has therefore re-
solved itself into the defense by the
enemy of the northeastern corner,
almost one might say the north
eastern peninsula of Sicily. In some
ways his position is much the same
as that which he finally came to
occupy in Tunisia. Both his flanks
rest on the sea-a sea controlled
by Allied ships and aircraft. The
Allies have absolute air superiority.
The enemy has practically no local
air bases. His front is much shorter
perhaps only little over half as
long AS his Tunisian front: but he
has far fewer troops to defend it,

Kann and Decker were convicted

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND. Calf, July 24.-The
liberty ships Melville E. Stone,
named for the former general man
ager Of the Associated Press, and
Marcus DAILY, honoring the Montana
copper magnate, were floated in San
Francisco Bay tonight in twin
launchings at Permanente Metals
Corp. shipyards.
Mr.. Stone was general manager of
the Associated Press from 1893 to
1921, and under his direction the
news-gathering organization ex-
paned greatly both in this Nation
and overseas. He died February Is,
1929.
The late Marcus DAILY was the
founder Of the Anaconda Copper

the 29th launched at the Per-
manente yards, where eight YES

Italians Are Gloomy
Over Wars Outlook,
Spanish Press Says
BY the Associated Press,


MADRID, July 24.-Rome dis
patches to Spanish newspapers to-
day stressed the devastation Gre
ated in the Mediterranean theater
of war by powerful Allied bomber
fleets and disclosed that Italians
reaching Rome from Sicily were
spreading gloomy stories about the
unequal struggle of that terrible
war"
All of the dispatches placed par
ticular emphasis on the overwhelm-
ing superiority of the Allies, leaving
no doubt that every Sicilian evacua-
ton point is getting terrific pound
ing from the Allied airmen, who
control the Mediterranean skies.
dispatches from Allied head
quarters in North Africa yester-
day quoted reports in Madrid as
saying that crowds in several of
Italy's principal cities were riot
ing and clamoring for peace"
Immediately after the fall of
Palermo, capital of SicilyD
Area Devastated.
Allied air superiority over the
Strait of Messina, admitted repeat
edly in Axis dispatches explaining
the difficulties of the Sicilian cam
paign, has turned the strait area
into a shambles of twisted rails,
sunken ships and burning docks and
warehouses.
Shattering, blockbuster bombs
have pitted the northeast sector of
Sicily from the coast to the roads
behind the Nebrodi mountain range
and blasted mainland ports and air
fields from the tip of the peninsula
to Naples, 225 airline miles to the
north.
Italian officers reaching Rome, ac-
cording to dispatches from that
capital, gave graphic details of the
punishment being dealt by air and
naval forces of the United Nations.
The Hermann Goering division
and other German units were said
to be bearing the brunt of the drive
at Catania, below Mt. Etna, which
in 48 hours was turned from a de-
fensive point on a fixed line to a
shrinking salient of rearguard ac-
ton, reported today to be moving
northWard
The Rome dispatches noted that
the Allied forces in Sicily were
throwing an enormous mass of ma
terial" into the battle, a fact con-
sidered in Rome. as clear indica-
ton that their reserves are still
greater"
German Agencies Silent.
Despite the fall of Palermo, head
lines on New York dispatches in the
Spanish press sounded a warning
against the overconf1dence of the
United Nations.
THE Allies still have not reached
Mt. Etna," said a headline in the
morning newspaper. va, which
added that Nevertheless the United
States believes the fall of Palermo
will have repercussions at the Ger
man line"
German news agencies had vir-
tually nothing to say about the
Sicilian campaign today beyond the
regular Berlin communique and de-
voted their attention to the efforts
to halt the Russian drive in the
Orel region.
The Balkans continued to draw
the attention of the Spanish press
and such headlines as Sofia denies
foreign reports of disorders" were
bracketed with rigorous measures
adopted against Bulgarian ter
rorists."
