Commissioners Order
Fire Prevention Week

The staggering cost of preventable
fires in the United States was cited
yesterday by the Commissioners as
they designated the week beginning
October as fire prevention week, in
keeping with a proclamation by
President Roosevelt.
Calling on all District residents to
cooperate in fire prevention meas
ures, the city heads said:
TN his proclamation, the Presi-
dent points out that since Pearl
Harbor the destruction caused by
fire in the United States has been
comparable to the damage caused by
all enemy bombing over England
during the first two years of the war,
and states that these preventable
fires are being measured in thou
sands Of workers killed and disabled
and vast destruction of critical raw
materials, food and other vital sup
plies for our armed forces and civil
ian population, as we'll as the ruin of
war plants, factories, homes and ma
chinery."
The Commissioners also issued
proclamation calling on the public
to observe October 81 as Navy day by
the display of the national colors
during daylight hours. that day, on
all places of business and homes.

When we started for Casab,enoa
finally, although it was only Is
miles away, we went out to sea 10
get there, and it took all night.
Later we heard that We had
steamed clear through a pack of
submarines that had been sent to
intercept us.
Getting into the harbor wasn't
easy. There were so many sunken
vessels there, 1t looked like naval
graveyard

Back again in the United States
Fireman Charlton was sent to an
infantry school at Fort Pierce, Fla,
where he engaged in reconnaissance
work. 1t was while he was going
from Fort Pierce to Fort Lauder
dale that he was injured.
Fell From Jeep.
I'VE were in jeep," he said,
turning corner in Fort Lauder
dale. The man sitting on the back
of the jeep with me lost his grip
and started to fall. I let go my hold
on a spare tire and reached out to
grab him. When I put my hand
back on the tire, it wasn't there. I
had reached too far and I fell off
the ieep myself.
when I hit the road, the jeep
stopped, and couple of the fellows
ran back to me. After a hasty ex-
animation, they decided that I had
merely sprained my leg. They
wanted to pull on it and set the
joint they said 1 told them that
anybody who pulled on that leg was
going to need a doctor far worse
than I needed one then, so they
called doctor
He later told me that refusing
to let them try to set the joint was
the best thing I ever did in my life
if ever wa~ted to walk again.
Since then, I've been in hos
pitals in Jacksonville and Miami.
All I know right now is that I want
to get out of here and back in the
fight. They say my leg is going to
be stiff for the rest Of my life. I've
decided the next time I reach out
to grab somebody I'm going to hold
onto something solid while I'm
doing it Who knows?< Next time
I may fall on my head" he said. :

Is Now Patient in
Bethesda Hospital
Back From the Wars

A second-class fireman, who was
bombed and machine-gunned in At
rica, whose ship evaded torpedoes
while cruising along the Casablanca
coast and who saw ships ahead and
behind his vessel torpedoed by sub
marines, has returned to America
only to break his leg when he fell
out Of jeep in Fort Lauderdale,
Fla.
He is Fireman Second-class
Robert T. Charlton, 80, of Baltimore,
now patient at the Naval Medical
Center at Bethesda, Md.
Mr.. Charlton enlisted in May,
1912. Before then he had been a
Bendix Aviation employe in Balti-
more, manufacturing radio equip
ment for bombing planes. The Navy
sent him to Diesel school. and later
transferred him to Little Greek, Va,
where he joined up with the Am
phibious Scouts.
Had No Warning.
There he went on maneuvers with
Army personnel perfecting landing
operations. particularly those con-
cerned with the system of signaling
that the Army uses in taking beach,
heads.
ut seems to me we practiced on
most of the beaches in the Chesa-
peake Bay area" he said.
When we left the States we didn't
get any warning We thought we
were going out on what would be
just another maneuver, but when we
reached land again, we were in Af-
rica. off Casablanca.
I'VE arrived there at midnight. An
invasion hour was set and, of course.
we went ashore to place the signal
lights. While our ship was still at
anchor, the French defenders of the
territory picked us up with their
lights, but an American cruiser
made short work of that searchlight.
Captured Nazi Train.
In all, 38 boats landed, and one of
these-mine-failed to make shore
when 1t stuck on reef and broke
its shaft At about the time we
decided the situation was hopeless
and that we wouldn't get the boat
off, the French started to throw up
incendiary flares and star shells,
lighting up the beach until it looked
like noon on clear day
"We finally got ashore after
abandoning the boat, and one of the
first things we did was to capture
50 Germans and Frenchmen who
had been on leave. We stopped the
train they were on, and they were
our prisoners. never did know
what happened to them" he said.
1.-THE next day French planes
came over, bombing and straf-
ing the beach areas, and was
knocked down when a piece of shrap-
mel hit my rifle. At the time 1 lit
a cigarette because I didn't know
what else to do. 1 was afraid to look
at my hip. What caused me to look
at it finally was that I didn't feel
any blood. Sure enough, I wasn't
hurt.
Machine guns connected with my
unit accounted for two German
planes. We also got several snipers
who were hiding in buildings in the
outskirts of Fedela.

FATE OF Whole
Eastern Front
In the Balance
Four Powerful
Red Armies Storm
Ahead for K. O. Punch
BY RICHARD McNURRAY


Four Russian armies pursued
bleeding German divisions in
"disordered retreat" today from
the Dnieper Bend toward the
Bug River in campaign which
a Berlin military commentator
said was deciding the fate" of
the war on the eastern front.
Allied armies in Italy resum-
ed their offensive toward Rome
n d made general advances
which overran at least eight
towns.
The American Fifth Army
captured Raviscania, IS miles
south of the transport center Of
Isernia and l9 miles north of
Capua. They also took Franco
lise, 2ia miles west of Spara-
Mise, and Rocchetta.
BRITISH ADVANCE
The British Eighth Army
spread from central Italy TO the
Adnatic, seized 3ojano on the
main Campobasso-Isernia high
way, Spineto, Petrella, Calata
and Baranello. All the gains
were made in difficult: terrain
and against strong German op-
position.
The destruction of 1913 to 1853
Japanese planes az Rabaul rails
ed the 12-day total for Gen.
MacArthur's air force to nearly
300 in the Southwest Pacific
alone rate faster than the
Nipponese can replace. The lat
est blows, at the major enemy
base were struck Saturday and
Sunday, apparently softening
Rabaul for invasion. The last
Solomon Island of Bougainville
lost effective use of its Kahili
airfield in recent 172-ton bonn
bardments.
Small wonder that Emperor
Hirohito in an Imperial rescript
TO the Japanese Diet said The
present situation is truly grave"

The Emperor doubtless had
in mind the crumbling of Ger

as well as japanese reverses,
