ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Aug. l4.- The big Japanese airbase at Sala- maua has been laid in ruins and the key portion built on the isth- mus virtually ceased to exist as the result of a 177-ton lombard ment by American medium and heavy members.
 The communique from General Douglas MacArthur's headquarters says the shattering blow was the latest in series in which more than 1000 tons of bombs were dropped on the New Guinea base.
 The announcement of the demo- lition of the airbase at Salamaua is coupled with the official report that Americans have advanced an- other mile against the last Jap foot hold in New Georgia island at Bair- oko harbor.

Reuters Report Quotes Statement from Hal
 ian Government

LONDON, Aug. IA. A Reuters dispatch says the Italian govern ment is taking the necessary steps according to international law to declare Rome an open city without further delay
 Rome was bombed twice by Fly ing Fortress formations of Ameri- can bombers, once on July l9 and the second raid yesterday
 It's railroad network was the prin- cipal target each time. The elim- nation of the use of these tracks for movement of troops and ml1- tary supplies would be one of the obligations entailed if the capital is declared an open city. Other obligations would be the withdrawal of troops from the city and the cessation of the manufac- ture of war supplies and the ad- mission of an Allied war commits sion to see that obligations are car ried out.
 Reuters quoted an Italian news agency as sayng the Italian gov ernment announced July 3l through it's Intermediary of it's intention to declare Rome an open city and has been waiting to know the circum- stances under which this declara- ton would be accepted.
 Tn view of the repetition of air raids on Rome, center of the Cath ollie world. the Italian government has decided to formally and public fly to declare Rome an open city : without further delay ''The Italian government is talk
 ing the necessary steps according to international law"

ALLIED FORCES SWEEP
 ON, CLOSE TO MESSINA
Strait Filled with Graft Af- tempting 10 Take
 Troops 10 Italy

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Aug l4-Pelted by everything from block busters to machine gun bullets from the air, artillery fire and from the sea, the German Army has begun a full scale evacuation effort to save as much material and manpower as possible from the wreckage of Sicily for the battle of Italy
 With the center cayed in by the Allied capture of Randazzo, north of Mount Etna, the Germans put the evacuation machinery in full swing, 1t is officially announced to- day Saturday. and they are re- treating behind strong rear guards. The Germans have fallen back rapidly on all fronts.
 The victorious British and Am erican infantry attacks are sweep ing them within 34 miles of Mes sina in virtually all sectors.
 The Allies have captured Piraino on the north coast, Floresta in the central sector and Riposto Clara Milo on the east coast.
 The Allied commentator con- firmed all field reports of the German withdrawal and said 1t is no longer any question that the Germans sole aim is to escape to the Italian mainland with as many troops and equipment as possible.
 Aerial reconnaissance showed ships are crossing the narrow bomb-tossed Messina Strait, many arriving empty on the Sicilian beaches and leaving loaded.
 The escaping craft. are under constant fire from British light warships and coastal Allied bomb CTS are shuttling back and forth dropping everything from 2.000- pound block busters to cannon and machine gun ammunition.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert 8. Allen on active duty)


 WASHINGTON.-When members of the AFL executive council took up the application of John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers chief, for re-entry into the AFL this week in Chicago, they didn't bother to tell reporters that Lewis might have been back in the AFL some time before, except for strong in- tervention from the White House
 It can now be revealed that the President was extremely perturbed about the burly mine labor chiefs efforts to climb back on the AFL bandwagon In fact he expressed himself to friends in very blunt language about how foolhardy it would be for the AFL to welcome back a man who was in disrepute for openly defying the govern ment during the mine dispute.
 It also can be revealed that Will liam Hutcheson, AFL carpenters boss. and other Lewis friends on the executive council had the stage all set for a special meeting ot the council last May to consider Lewis application. This was the inside reason why John L. enclosed a fat $60,000 check for advance dues with his application.
 Just who blocked the move-and how closely the President himself was involved-is a secret. But Ad- ministration insiders report that Marvin Mcintyre, the Presidents secretary, great friend of the railroad brotherhoods, had hand in it.
 Furthermore, immediately after Lewis requested readmission, the President had separate conferences with Dan Tobin. teamsters boss and top-rung member of the AFL executive council, plus George Har- rison, railway clerks head, who is the most powerful figure in the brotherhoods.
 Immediately afterward, the move for a special executive council meeting was abandoned. In the course of one of these conferences, the question of Lewis application for readmission was discussed at some length-and the President ex- pressed himself point-blank againss it.

Firm Hold Now Obtained Around Ukraine
 Steel Center
(By Associated Press)

The Red Army is battering it's way to the streets of Kharkov in several directions and have obtained a firm viselike hold about the Ukraine steel center, frontline dis patches said
 To the north, where Russian forces piled on another offensive in the gradually developing summer campaign, two other German de- fense hubs at Bryansk and Smo- lensk have been menaced by smash ing strong Qualifications in the Spas -Demensk sector.
 The Red Star, official Army newspaper, described the fortifica- tions around the Spas-Demensk area midway between Bryansk and Smolensk, as several continuous lines of trenches all interconnected by strong pillboxes and dugouts of advanced firing positions. It said the defense included machine gun positions every 50 yards with mine- fields and wire entanglements be- tween them.
 Trenches and Qualifications around the Spas-Demensk sector were erected during the retreat at Moscow in l94l and were improved last summer.
 The front lines were broken through first in the north by the Russian infantry. After long march through the swamps they received the order to attack the enemy in an unexpected quarter.
 A German communique broadcast said the heaviest fighting was in the Belgorod area, a jumping off place in the Russian offensive on Kharkov The Germans said the Russians suffered very heavy cas- ualties in the swaying battle on Kharkov"
 The Soviet tank losses in the six weeks summer offensive places them in excess of 5000, according to the German radio.
