THE FATE az Sicily Is likely
20 be decided by an srworcd
battle which may break out
within IS hours
The early Allied reports on
the invasion said the ANS had
not committed IT'S mobile re-
serve striking force. which was
believed 10 comprise possibly
one German panzer division and
several Italian arnored nri-
gades
If and when the Allies crush
the Axis mobile forces, il is
believed the battle az Sicily VIII
be over 10 all -ln1cntS- and

Allied CommunlqueS and re-
ports from correspondents did
not specify the whereabouts of
the Axis mobile forces
From the topography Of The
Island, II was believed likely
they were being held IN the

80 miles north Of Lica'a.

One Of the most likely
armored backgrounds would
be the plain of Licata, lying
north of Licata and Celia, where
the Americans established a
beachhead. The only other rela-
lively fiat terrain where armOr

plain of Catania. just west Of
that big east coast port.
THE TOPOGRAPHY Of Sicily
indicates that the decisive
battle for control Of the island

The Allied landing pattern

13-Canadian troops on Sicily
were advancing with such speed
today that it was most difficult

Demands Action Now
On Teachers Bonus
Dr.. Broome Will Place
Request Before County

Possible payment of wartime
bonus to Montgomery County teach
ers beginning in April was seen
today after representatives of 10
parent-teacher associations in the
suburban area of the county ap-
peared before the county commits
sioners and DR.. Edwin w. Broome,
superintendent of schools, to urge
that immediate action be taken to
increase teachers salaries.
DR.. Broome said he would place
the matter before a meeting of
county teachers at 2:30 pm. Friday
In the Richard Montgomery High
School, Rockville. He added he
would call a special meeting of the
Board of Education to act on the
delegations request in time to pre-
sent a recommendation to the COM
missioners Tuesday.
DR.. Broome said he believed pay
n1ent OF a bonus now to teachers
would be a tremendous uplift" to
the county school system, yet he
emphasized that he could not speak
for the Board of Education. He in
dlcated, however, the board prob.
ably wuold approve such plan.

Richard E. Saunders of the Lelant

however. that any recommenda

salaries would have to come from
the Board of Education.
A bill, which has been passed by
both houses of the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly and is now awaiting
agreement on House amendments,
provides for a wartime bonus of $40
month for 10 months for each
teacher in the State.
After that period, each teacher
would receive bonus of $140 to be
paid in seven monthly installments,
provided the county supplies $113
of this amount. The State would
provide the additional $27.
In view of statement by DR..
Broome that the State payments
probably would not begin until Sep
tember /. the delegation pointed out
that teachers would not receive any
salary adjustments for the five
months between now and September
unless favorable action was taken
by the Board of Education and by
the commissioners.
Urge Action Now.
A resolution adopted by the dele
cation urged the Board of Educa-
ton to recommend to the county
commissioners the payment OF a
bonus to county school teachers for
the next five months, or until State
aid becomes effective. The group
also called on the commissioners te
participate in the State payments
as provided in the measure.
Declaring that county teachers
have been given greatly added re-
sponsibilities due to the war, the
group pledged itself to help carry
out the provisions of the resolu.
ton.

that the morale of the teachers ha!
