ALTAVILLA, Italy, Sept. 2l.-The
population of this battle battered
town, which fell into the hands OF
the Allies after some of the hardest
fighting on the mainland of Italy
emerged from its wine cellars yes
terday bewildered, she'll shocked and
with the pale greenish pallor of
mushrooms, due to hiding so long in
darkness.
Although the Allies entered Alta
villa Sunday, the people did not dare
to come out until yesterday, they
had been so shaken by criss-cross
fire for nine consecutive days with
Allied and German patrols battling
and bayonet fighting over their
heads.
I spoke in Italian to more than SO
Inhabitants of Altavilla, and they all
agreed that at least 100 residents of
the town had died of wounds, and
that some had died from hunger as
they did not dare venture out for
food.
Interested Only in Food.
The inhabitants told me they were
afraid to go into the streets during
the nine days of fighting and, there
fore, they lived on what little they
had on hand, such as cactus pears
and friend corn. A few who had
chicken or a pig about the house
Jared fairly we'll. The water short
age was most acute.
In many ways these pallid, shaken
people remind me of the survivors of
Alcazar during the Spanish war.
They were so hungry yesterday that,
unlike most Italian refugee men in
newly taken cities, they were not in
terested in cigarettes but only in
food, especially chocolate candy.
Many of them suffering from she'll
shock could be seen trembling and
gibbering in the streets as American
Red Gross workers started looking
after them. The funeral service
corps, headed by chaplain, also
was looking into the ruins of houses
for dead.
Actlng as an interpreter for this
corps, I was informed by the in
habitants that they buried their
dead as best they could at the time
in cellars.
Special Church Services Held.
The streets also had to be cleared
Of a number of mules, dogs and cats
which were killed during the fight
ing.
Despite the terrific shelling and
rifle fire fighting around here, Alta
villa suffered much less than Bat
tipaglia.- But the population of Bat
tipaglia left long time ago, whereas
the inhabitants of Altavilla sud-
denly were caught between two lines
In the land fighting.
Actually, however, only few
places here and there received stray
shells which flattened. out whole
groups of houses.
Special services were held in an
unchanged church yesterday morn
ing to commemorate the deliver
ance OF the populace.

men, in killed and hcspitalized dur

larger-scale fighting at Salamaua

Japanese soldiers who fed north
from Lac now are being added to
the mounting list of enemy dead.
American and Australian soldiers
who placed armed blockades across
the jungle trails above Lac, in ex-
pectation of just such retreat, now
have contacted these fugitives. And
Allied soldiers moving behind them
from Lac also have caught up with
them.

 For that matter, he said, he would like to meet Conn again right now, because Conn is the only logical heavyweight contender.

Frisco's Olympic
 Club And New York A. (. New Rivalry

The Olympic club of San Fran cisco, many-time national champion and arch rival of the New York A. C., has nominated a team of four teen athletes, headed by Harold Davis, current fastest human, for the 55th National AAU champion ships which will be decided at Fri boro Stadium, Randall's Island. June 1920, for the benefit of Army Air Forces Aid society.
 The 14-man Winged O squad is small but mighty and it will turn up as a serious bidder for the senior team crown it relinquished to the New York A. c. here last year after winning three years in row.
 In addition to Hurryin' Hal Davis, one other defending champion, Boyd Brown, four-year winner of the javelin, and one former champion, Grover Klemmer, 1941 400-meter winner in the world-record time of 46 seconds fiat, are on the Olympic club team. Klemmer was out of ac- tlon recuperating from a leg injury last year, but he has come back this season with an unbeaten string of victories in the half-mile. Davis, of course, is still the man to beat, for he has run the 100 in 9.5 seconds, the 220 in 209 seconds. He lost his first race in two years last month when Ensign Payton Jordan nipped him in a 97 century, but Davis re- verSed that defeat in two subsequent meetings in near-record time.
 StandOuts
 The other Olympic club entries, all stand-out performers in Pacific coast competition, are Ralph Dewey, 4:18,7 miller and 9:22 two-miler, who will shoot for the steeplechase crown; Lee Angelich, 149 high hurd- Ter and 241 low hurdler; William Smith, 6:7 3-4 high jumper; Jim Jurkoyich, the football star, a 9.9 sprinter, PAP 1-2 broad jumper and 144:9 discus thrower; John Full ton, 48l quarter miller fastest of the season.; Irving Moore, 14foot pole Vaulter; James Delaney, 53- foot shotputter; Stan Hiler, 1929 discus throWer: Keith GrosWird, 13:8 yaulter; Joe Shropshire, 1:54 half miller; and Lou Futrell, high and low hurdler.

 Following the frightful mismatch between Phil Terranova and the an- cient and honorable Chalky Wright, Mike Jacobs has again jacked up the top tariff to $1150, and scarce ly can miss another $100,000.
 That gives you rough idea of how good the beak busting business is today. Both Armstrong and An- gott once admitted they had enough. Badly beaten and knocked out by Fritzie Zivic, Armstrong called it a career more than two years ago.
 Angott announced his retirement in November of last year, which paved the way to the lightweight ti- tie for Beau Jack and Bob Montgo- mery.
