An Raj observer, commenting or
the capture of three enemy airfields
in Sicily by Allied invasion forces
said one of two taken near Gela
can accommodate a large number
of bombers.
This field, he said, is large and
well-equipped. At present. how
ever, it lies too close to the front
line for any effective use by heavier
aircraft.
The other fields, at Salso in the
Gela district and a Pachino, are
small and suitable only for fighters

Ore Ships Speeded
By Macarthur Lock
BY the Associated Press.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, July
IA mighty new lock of the Sault
Ste. Marie Canal, named for Gen.
Douglas Macarthur and constructed
by Army engineers in a record l3
months, was at work today speeding
heavily laden ore carriers to the Ma
tion's war-busy steel mills.
The new lock. deepest, although
not longest, of the four now in op-
Grafton at this vital canal, was dedi-
Gated formally yesterday in cere-
monies conducted against stern
military setting. 1t will permit
passage of greater tonnage
through the 500, which previously
carried more freight than any other
canal in the world.
1t. Col. Donald E. Antes, speaking
at the dedication. declared that ut
is readily apparent the tremendous
role this deep draft lock will play in
promoting greater production-per-
mitting passage of greater number
of vessels and permitting the loading
of vessels to greater depth, directly
increasing the tonnage of ore that
can be moved by the present ore
fleet. This, in turn, means greater
production of iron and steel, SO
highly essential in the war effort.
Representative Bradley, Repub-
lican, of Michigan. another speaker
called the canal "the jugular vein In
the United Nations war effort"
Brig. Gen. David NJ McCoach
assistant chief of engineers. Wash
ington, told a luncheon audience:
America, indeed the whole demo-
cratic world, should be equally CRATE
full that between the iron ore de-
posits of Minnesota and the steel
mills of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vanit we have in place and operat-
ing water traffic route which from
the measure of tonnage is the
worlds greatest"

vandenberg Demands
War Cabinet 10 Help
Direct Home Front
~ the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
With the assertion that "the
palace guard has got to be de-
modified soon," Senator Van
denberg, Republican, Of Michi-
gan called today for establish
meKit Of q war cabinet to help
President Roosevelt direct activ-
tiles on the home front.
Forecasting further reorganiza-
tions In the administrative branch
of Government after Congress re-
turns to work this fall, Senator
Vandenberg said he believes there
is q RELENTLESS trend" under way in
the country toward formation OF
what he said I'VE loosely call a war
cabinet"
I'VE need something of that kind
instead of the existing kitchen cab
met in which there Is very little con-
fidence," he declared, adding: "The
palace guard has got to be demobil-
lied soon."
Harry Hopkins Mentioned.
BY palace guard" Senator Van
denberg said he meant the circle OF
advisers to the President. including
Harry Hopkins, who. the Republican
Senator said, appeared often to be
highly influential in shaping policy
decisions which were not always
concurred In by the heads Of depart
ments and bureaus affected.
Along with the establishment OF
a war cabinet, Senator Vandenberg
said he wished President Roosevelt
would separate himself from the
fourth term" declaring that such
action would go long way toward
smoothing out Mr.. Roosevelt's dif-
ficulties with Congress.
Conceding that politics is likely
to play an Increasingly greater part
in domestic decisions as the time
for the 1914 campaign nears, SEN
ator Vandenberg said he thought 1t
unfortunate" that partisan consid-
erations could not be minimized
during war.
Increasing Role for Politics.
"The unfortunate part OF 1t all Is
that politics will play an increas-
Ing part in what goes on" he said.
"On the one hand will be the poll
tics of the President and his fellow
fourth-termers and on the other
hand the bipartisan politics of
those who feel otherwise on that
question.
IF the President were to sepa-
rate himself from the fourth term
it would greatly simplify the entire
governmental perspective, including
the Presidents own
Predicting that price controls and
rationing would remain "a constant
source of national irritation until
they are simplified and justified"
Senator Vandenberg said Congress
can be expected to come back to
Washington in September demand
ing some changes in the present
system.
He forecast renewed scrutiny Of
Government bureaus, coupled with
"a greater drive than ever for econ
ony. both inside and outside war
expenditures"

In a fight just before sundown
1t. Col. D. c. Newton, jr., of NAL

MaurieIIo, Savold
 Have Met Before

New York, Nov. - Tami Mau- riello and Lee Savold box ten rounds or less at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night and so many people have asked: Did these two ever box before?' that it might be good idea to tell you about the previous meet ing.
 Because they most certainly did meet once before. They clashed at the Garden just year ago-October 30, 1942 and Mauriello won the decision in ten rounds.
 Even boxing fans have had slight ly more important things on their moinds during the past year which doubtless explains the tendency to forget the first Mauriello-S -Savold contest and what happened in it.
 If you are interested in what you wrote about that match just drop into the Twentieth Century A.C. pub licity offices and Mushky Jackson will be pleased to haul your particu- lar classic out of the files.
 Frank Graham, who used to write a column for the Sun but is now with Look Magazine, summed up the comments of the boxing scribes after last years bout He wrote:
 Quite A Brawl
 of the fight that Tami Mauriello and Lee Savold put on at Madison Square Garden last night is a sam pie of what today's heavyweights have to offer, the customers will take more of the same and be very glad to get it. It was thoroughly satisfactory engagement which, at times, took on some of the more pleasing aspects of a street-corner brawl and although Mauriello won there was considerable blood-letting on both sides. The fight had every thing in it ."
 He also wrote this: '"The high point of the fight came in the fifth round when Savold dropped Tami with a left hook on the chin. Up to that time Tami was well in front But when Lee tagged him his feet flew from under him and he hit the deck on the seat of his pants. Savold looked as though he was sat- isfled he had put the young fellow in his place and would have little trou- ble with him from there on, but Tami has a strong chin and an even stouter heart and he was up at nine and before the round was over he was smashing Savold along the ropes.
 There never had been much doubt from the beginning about who was going to win and there was none whatever once Tami had picked himself off the floor, yet Savold fought back gamely.'
 Yessir, it was good fight. And the one tomorrow night should be even better,

Boush On Fifth Mile of Passes
BY TOMMY DEVINE United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

Chicago, Nov. 3-(UP)-Sammy Baugh, the lean Texan with an elastic arm, was started on footballs fifth mile' today
 Baugh, whose accurate forward passing built a world championship for the Washington Redskins a year ago, was well along toward the greatest season of his seven year National football league career and has scattered records along the way.
 The Redskins markSman has gained more than four miles with his glidiron aerials, the greatest aggre- gate in professional history. "Slingin' Sammy's" total is 7436 yards four miles and 8 bonus start" of 396 yards toward the fifth.
 The latest league statistics show Baugh trailing Sid Luckman of the Chicago Bears among the passers, but part of the former Columbia stars advantage is due to the fact he's played in six games as against four for Baugh.
 For the season Baugh has com pleted 52 losses out of 94 attempts. His aerials have gained 8ll yards and IA of them have been good for touchdowrs.
 Super-Duper
 Baugh's yardage total is one of the four all-time league records he holds. The others are for the most completed passes, 598; the most passes attempted, 1884; and for the most touchdown passes, TO- Addi- tionally the one-time Texas Chris tian ace holds two game records and one seasonal mark.
 Luckman leads Baugh by virtue of 62 compilations in 110 attempts this season. His passes have netted l&89 yards.
 While Baugh and Luckman dom- mate the passing department, com- petition for the ground gaining lead is stiffer. Tony Canadeo of Green Bay vaulted back into the lead with 339 yards on 63 attempts, while Harry Clark of the Bears is second with 327 yards on 68 tries.
 Don Hutson of Green Bay leads in pass catching with g receptions and in scoring with 5 points. Baugh is the top punter with 8 45.4 yard average.
