HARVEST:
Production DOiUn

Despite unfavorable sprin g
weather, the nations farmers have
all but completed their harvesting
of spring wheat, being but only
one week behind normal schedule,
according to federal crop stats
ticians. But as Of July l, total
production for 1943 was estimated
at 700 million bushels against 98l
million last year.
Only in Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio did harvesting fall back to
any extent. Through Oklahoma,
Texas and Kansas the wheat was
cleaned up according to schedule,
and work in Nebraska and Miss
ouri progressed favorably.
Estimations Of the winter wheat
harvesting showed Kansas with a
crop of $50 million bushels
against 200 million last year;
Nebraska with SO million against
68 million; Oklahoma with 81 mil
lion against 81 million, and Texas
with 33 million against AZ million
Illinois with II million against II
million was credited with the big
gest advance over last year.

SICILY:
Take Up Last Line

At the beginning Of the final
stage of resistance in Sicily, the
Axis line roughly ran from the
east coast port Of Catania west
ward to the mountains, and then
curved northward to the shores
Of the Tyrrhenian sea.
Near Catania, strong Axis
forces held firm after early tank
battles had failed to pierce their
lines. To the west, Canadian
troops picked their way through
rugged terrain to advance ON the
Axis outpost Of Regalbuto, which
huddles behind mountainous
ranges.
After seizing the big Sicilian
port of Palermo, Gen. George S,
Patton's American Seventh army
drove westward along the Tyr
rhenian coast toward the last Axis
defenses defending Messina, which
lies at the extreme tip Of the
island, two miles from the Italian
mainland.
German attempts TO reinforce
Axis troops in Sicily by means Of
giant Junkers and Merseberg
three-and six engined transport
planes met stiff opposition from
the Allies.

BOMBERS:
Strike Ndzi Industry

Heavy round -the-clock raids on
Hitler's European fortress got
under way again with a U. S. raid
on the Nazi's Norwegian sub
marine port of Trondheim and a
neighboring aluminium plant.
No sooner had the bombers
alighted than fresh squadrons took
off, this time for northern Ger
many. The RAF pointed bomber
noses toward the great North sea
port of Hamburg and dropped
2,3O0 tons of explosives. Another
British force struck hard at the
gigantic Krupp arms works at
Essen.
Following in the wake of the
British, U. S. airmen worked over
Hamburg in daylight. Continuing
the concentrated assault on Ger
man industry, other formations
plastered rubber factories at Han
over and the Focke-W Wulfe aircraft
assembly plant at Warnemuende.
Shipyards were hit at the Ger
man naval station Of Kiel.
Almost 60 Allied planes were
lost in the raids, the bombers en-
countering heavy anti-aircraft fire
to height of from 10000 to 35,-
900 feet, and fleets Of fighters.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC /:
Jungle Fighting

Working their way through
jungle brush, American doughboys
braved hidden japanese machine
gun outposts to advance within
range of the enemy's main peri
meter of defenses around the
strategic airfield of Munda in the
Solomon islands.
AS the troops crept closer to
their objective, the u. s. air force
continued furnishing heavy sup
port, dive-bombers roaring in to
pound the Jap's nest of wooden
and earthen pill boxes.
In New Guinea, Liberator and
Mitchell bombers gave Salamaua
going over, dropping 250 tons of
explosives in two days. As the air
force softened up this important
enemy base, Allied ground troops
fought off Jap patrols to advance
eastward to the town.

United Office & Professional
Workers (CIO), Green pleaded
for unity of call labor and pro-
gressive forces in these United
States behind a program which
will assure the continuation of
the New Deal" and the election in
1914 of congress which will sup
port Pres. Roosevelt.
"If we don't get behind this
program and carry it to success"
he said, "we may find that when
the last Nazi has been vanquished,
when the last of the Axis dicta-
torships has been brought to sur
render, that we have fought in
vain.
Must Win Peace
Labor and progressive forces
must not allow this to happen.
We must make sure that the post
war world will be one Of our own
making. Fighting and dying are
not enough. We must win the
peace as we'll as the war"
To accomplish these things, he
continued, "we must have united
action by the CIO, the AFL and
the railroad brotherhoods, to join
committees on a local and state
wide basis for legislative and
political work"
A resolution presented to the
rally pledged the UOPWA in New
York City to every effort to %
obtain the full 1870 increase per-
mitted by the Little Steel formula
for all the city's white collar
workers, (2) secure widespread
reclassifications, upgradings and
revision of promotion policies in

salary standards, committees in
each industry (4) roll back prices

pose any form of sales tax and
demand that new taxation be
levied according to ability to pay

porate profits and high incomes.

Restore Union
Control, HilIman
Tells ALP

NEW YORK (FP)-Restoration
of union control of the American
Labor party, freed of all isms on
the right or the left, was proposed
July 27 by Sidney Hillman, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers (CIO) AID chairman of
the CIO Political Action Commit
tee.
Speaking to an ALP union dele
cation which called on him to dis
cuss the Aug. 10 New York pri-
maries, Hillman urged the widen
ing of the party's union base to
include more locals of the AFL,
CI0 and railroad brotherhoods. He
indicated he would recommend to
ACW organizations in New York
state to resume participation in
the ALP, provided his suggestions
are met. The ACW was one of the
founders of the ALP, but in the
past year has almost wholly with
drawn from ALP activities.
If the ALP is to function as a
genuine party of labor, Hillman
told the delegation, the original
composition of the party must be
restored, with unquestioned union
control. If that were done, he said,
present charges Of communism
and 'anti-communism" must fall to
the ground, because ''fringed
groups" would then have no con-
troll and no standing. Labor in New
York state then would be able to
present unified political force
against the tories and reaction
aries who seek to destroy labor's
gains," he said.

MUSSOLINI:
No Caesar

Biggest news story of the war
that was Benito Mussolini's res
ignation as Italy's prime minister
and strong man for 21 years.
Taking his place was Fascism's
shadow, Marshal Pietro BadogIio,
avowedly Mussolini's bitter en-
envy, yet the builder Of his armies
and his conqueror Of Ethiopia.
Mussolini left the scene with
Italy's empire lost; with Axis
armies pocketed in the northeast
srn corner of Sicily by Allied
forces, and with the Italian main
land afire from bombs As he left,
King Victor Emmanuel called on
all Italians TO stand firm in the
most fateful hour Of the country's
destiny. Italy again will find the
road of the future, he said.
Twenty-one years ago, Mussolini
took over the Italian government
following a march Of 5000 of his
Blackshirts on Rome. Italy writh
ed in disorder, her industries
crippled from strikes, and her un-
employed war veterans in riot. In
the crisis, King Victor turned to
Mussolini, and thus did the strong
man come to power.
He restored order. He created
public works and set up the cor
porate state, in which al, economic
groups are represented in govern
ment. He settled papal claims 20
the amount Of 90 million dollars
and recognized the Vatican's SOW
ereignty. But it was over empire
that Mussolni stumbled.
