Navy 'Leapfrogging'
Sped Army Advance
In Messina Drive
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Stad Correspondent.

SICILY.-The finest Army Navy
liaison vet developed functioned in
the eastward advance along Sicily's
north coast toward Messina with the
so-called "leapfrog" tactics of the
combined arms.
This "leapfrogging" is an essen
tial part of amphibian operations,
and this particular terrain along
the coast was adapted especially
for it. Up to now the Navy has
received little credit for the big
part it played in the success of the
campaign. Without naval aid this
campaign might have been prolong-
ed for weeks.
The leapfrog system was simply
a series of troop landings in the
enemy's rear. The advancing in
fantry would find itself halted short
by blown bridge or bad road block,
with German artillery In strong
positions in the hills just ahead.
Then the Navy would load body
of troops and land them back of
these gun positions, so that they
could attack in the rear. Three
times this was done between San
Stefano and Messina. Two such
landings were made in "a hours.
Such operations required the clos
est sort of liaison between the two
services.
Also Navy light cruisers gave in
valuable aid to the advancing in
fantry by shelling the enemy gun
positions in the high hills towering
over the coast road. In many cases
they were able to silence these guns.
At Celia. early in the invasion. they
broke up German counterattack
with heavy railroad guns, scoring
several direct hits.
Landing forces are accompanied
by naval beach battalions," whose
job is to clear away mines and
generally to keep the beach clear
for the continuing landing opera
ton being carried out by other
ships.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. lO.-Gov.

So we'll have the United Nations
solved tremendous industrial prob
lens that today their combined pro-
duction is three times that of the
Axis, Col John J. Lewellyn, head of
the British Supply Council told the
National Press Club at luncheon
yesterday,
Back from a month in England,
Col. Lewellyn described manpower
as the only serious bottleneck re-
naming in the way of British war
production. Originally, he pointed
out, Britain had two other bottle
neckS-machine tools and materials
but these no longer caused con-
Germ. Lease-lend has helped great

British Fathers Drafted.
Col. Lewellyn reminded his audi
ence that in trying to smash the
manpower bottleneck, Britain had
been forced to draft fathers and
also to direct into necessary chan
nels' the work of all men up to the
age OF 65 and women up to As. The
age of women subject to industrial
conscription is being raised to so.
he explained. Women, he said, have
played a tremendous part" in the
success of British production.
He said IS per cent of the British
population was engaged directly in

armed men would not have been
able to accomplish the tasks they
have. And we must go on launch

When Col. Lewellyn invited ques-
tlons, he was asked to what he at
trlbuted the admittedly high morale
OF British industrial workers.
Bombings Lifted Morale.
Il think the Germans did that"
ne replied. Certainly the bomb
ings had great deal to do with it.
The people who couldn't fight
determined to produce things that
would stop the Germans"
He also cited canteens in the fac
tories, with good food at reasonable
prices, as an important factor.
Asked about plans to dismantle
the war machine when peace comes.
he said means of demobilization and
labor adjustment had been mapped
but no detailed methods of recon :
Vertlng industries had been worked
out.
Col. Lewellyn predicted a great
postwar construction program,
pointing out that in British cities
ABOUT one in every five houses had
