fled. He did not say where the
fleeing ships had gone.
This third blow at Germany'S
precarious position in Italy was eX-
nected to confuse the Nazi strategy
further, making it difficult for the
enemy to dispose his forces in face
of the apparent ease with which the
Allies can land wherever they
choose.
Allied mastery was aided immeaS-
urably by the fact that Italian units
made up the entire AXIS naval
strength in the Mediterranean
and there were reports that some
of these had already surrendered
to the Allies.
The Taranto landing places an
Allied ground force with $50 miles

army in the italian toe. threaten

An official announcement SAID
the Germans already had started
withdrawing from the toe. however,
since they also were threatened
eravely by an Allied advance across
the boot from Salerno, cutting off
the entire southern half of the PEN

Ventotene island, volcanic de-
fense outpost 40 miles west OF
Naples, fell to an Allied diversion
airy force early yesterday while the
main Anglo American landing
forces we're pouring ashore on the
Gulf of Salerno from an invasion
fleet that a reconnaissance pilot
said covered 1000 square miles.
THE first groups of the CU. S.
Fifth army successfully established
their beachheads in the Naples area
in spite of strong German opposi-
tion," Gen. Dwight D. EiSenhower's
communique said. Mines off the
beaches had to be cleared by mine
sweepers.'
There were no details of the Ger
man counterattacks, but authorities
said they failed. The identity OF
one of the German units was re-
vealed as the 18th Panzer division.
IN GULF OF SALERNO
A spokesman disclosed that the
landings, heretofore specified only
as occurring in the Naples area,
actually took place in the Gulf OF
Salerno, which stretches 20 to 30
miles along the Italian west coast
south of Naples.
"a Berlin broadcast said German
bombers sank an Italian battleshlp
and a cruiser and severely damaged
another battleship and cruiser
yesterday in a continuing attack on
naval formation that escaped from
Spezia and was raiding Nazi ships
between Corsica and Sardinia IN
compliance with Allied orderS.)
Allied and medium light bombers
supported the ground forces in the
Naples area with heavy bombing
and strafing attacks on roads lead
ing to the beachheadS and on other
targets in the battle area, enabling
the landings to proceed according
to plan.
American Flying Fortresses also
ioined in the assault, destroying a
large number of motor vehicles and
continuing their sweeps over south
ern Sardinia. Fighters maintained
shuttle patrols over both battle
areas.

cash or through lend-leaSe. and,
secondly, because it permitted Hull
to remind her that the doctrine of
military equilibrium is inconsistent
with er-American treaty obliga-
tions to settle disputes through
peaceful processes.
The immediate results of this
blunder, which already has caused
Storms resignation and may force
President Pedro Ramirez to resign,
depend upon developments in
Buenos Aires during the next few
days.
But diplomats here wondered
whether the incident might not
have considerable effect on future
inter- American conferences. In the
past Argentina always has tended
to play a lone hand at such con-
ferences and resented the influence
of the United States with other
Latin American nations.

RECORD FOR CAUTION

Argentina has record for cau-
tion in how far it has been willing
to agree with other republics at
inter-American conferences. This
incident probably will lead Argen-
tine delegates at future conferences
to play even a more isolated hand,
and to examine proposals even more
carefully.
Although the emphasis now is on
the United States rejection of Ar
gentinas appeal for arms, the core
of the controversy is Argentina's
refusal to break diplomatic rela-
tionS with the AXis-a move all
other western hemisphere nations
have taken in conformance with
resolutions adopted at the meetings
of foreign ministers in Havana in

BY ROGER BABSON

WASHINGTON. - Anyone who
has visited large modern airport
or terminal such as the one here
in Washington cannot help but
Re impressed with the great prog
ress being made in aviation.
Planes, airports and terminal IA
cilities are all relatively new and
clean. They appeal greatly to the
aesthetic senses. The efficiency
and the courtesy of all ranks of
employees, even when laboring
with the difficulties OF wartime
operations, is impressive. AS a
result of the war, hundreds of
thousands of men and women have
been introduced to air transport
Their enthusiasm for this entire
industry - still in childhood -
forecasts an expansion which will
make the past age of railroading
look sick.
1 had much rather own the stocks
of the air transport companies
than those of the companies which
manufacture airplanes. The basic
reason for this is that the air
transport companies are primari-
ly distributors and merchandisers
of a highly efficient and conven-
lent form of transportation. They
are much like the chain store, on
which I am also bulllsh, in that
they have no problems concern
fixed charges, production con-
tracts or labor The air transport
companies will be carrying pas
sengers and freight regardless Of
the ups and downs of the airplane
companies.
Of course. work will not stop
abruptly at the end of the war in
the case of the manufacturing
companies. Larger and tougher
bombing planes and faster pur-
suit and flight planes will continue
to be built. There will also be some
recovering work in changing
over present bombers to freight
and passenger planes. There has
not vet been any cancellation OF
plane contracts such as we have
seen in the machine tool indust-
nv. But these are bound to come
although an attempt
will be made to employ as many
reople in the manufa rturing COM
panies as possible. Taxes are also
a much greater handicap to these
concerns than to the air transport
companies. On the other hano'

free medium of the air is basic
economic advantage not often con-
sidered. My bet is that air trans
port will expand far more rapidly
than did the railroads and the
fractions and that this will be ac-
complished at far less proportional
expense. While the transport
stocks have had a steep market
rise, there is little question as to
their basic soundness and future
popularity. Events are vary favor
able for the entire air transport
industry. I advise hanging on to
the stocks of the four largest COM
panies provided one properly di-
versifies and distributes his in
vestment amoug these four. These
few companies handle 81 per cent
of the air transport business. To
get similar large interest and
proper diversific alton in railroad
transportation an investor would
be obliged to purchase stock IN
nearly one hundred separate roads.

Babson Sees Big Future
For Post War Air Travel

the low market price of these
manufacturing company stocks
may have discounted much OF
this grief.
Passengers desiring to use com.
mercial air lines greatly now ex-
coed present capacity. If it were
not for lack of equipment, passen-
ger air mileage would now be at
least double that of a year ago.
On many lines, express and air
mail poundage have doubled; but
while the war lasts not much
growth can be expected in pas
senger service. However, with the
war lid off, I expect to see planes
still booked to capacity even
though more equipment will then
be available. Equipment of all
kinds, however, as well as pilots
and operating personnel, will be
plentiful. The availability of these
should help operating costs even
though taxes remain heavy.
The air lines have, perhaps, the
most progressive arrangements of
any Industry. They are learning
much from wartime transporta-
ton problems. incidentally. they
are contributing much to the sue
cessful conduct of the war. Of the
future position in world transport
of our air lines. there can be no
doubt. This is witnessed by the in
auguration of daily transcontinen-
tai all-cargo flights. and by the
applications on file for transatlan-
tic routes. In exchange for lend
lease" and other Allied aid we
may ultimately secure permanent
air bases in the West Indies, the
Pacific and elsewhere Ostensibly
these will be for our defense, but
actually they will be used for COM
mercial purpose on a rental basis
by our air lines.
The history of transportation
shows that from its earliest stages
some ''roadbed' had to be pro-
vided for besides equipment. For
example, barges require that
canals be dug: railroads require
roadbeds and bridges; while au-
tomobiles require fine highways.
For air travel no such expensive
OUTLAWS are necessary. The con-
struction of airports and terminals,
aside from equipment, is the only
use" expense to which air lines
are put. Usually they bear only
portion Of this cost. Certainly,
after the war. they will secure
the use of many fields and ter
minal facilities without much ex-
pense involved.
The airplane has already given
us greater speed than any mode
of transportation that preceded it.
It is our most efficient unit of
travel; yet it's perfection is still
in it's infancy. Certainly, in the
near future, the convenience, safe
ty. comfort and flexibility of air
transport will improve greatly.
The fact that planes move in the

WELFARE HEADS
ENFORCE LAWS
Mcmillan Says County
Welfare Officer Deals
With Truants

RALEIGH, Oct. 14.-RHIn an
informal opinion, Attorney General
Harry Mcmillan ruled today that
county superintendent of welfare
must enforce the compulsory
school attendance law, except in
counties having special enforce
ment (truant officers).
The opinion was given in answer
to a request from Nathan Yelton,
Yelton, comptroller for the state
board of education, asked if it was
an obligation of the board of edu-
cation to enforce the compulsory
school attendance law.
Mcmillan said that there is no
statute which makes it the board
of education's duty to enforce the
law.
1.-THE only responsibility of the
state board of education is a gen.
eral supervisory responsibility" he
said.
There is no reference in the
constitution as to the matter of
enforcement of the law, but gen.
eral responsibility for supervision
of administration of the free public
school system would, I believe,
rest in the state board of educa-
ton the authority to provide for
the general supervision of this ac-
tivity.'
MCMILLAN said that, although a
recent statute outlining the duties
OF the county welfare superinten-
dent did not list enforcement of
the compulsory attendance law,
but ne said that a separate statute
