CAMERON FAV0RS
CITY EXTENSION
Mayor Tells Rotarians He
Is Behind Enlargement
OF Wilmington

Mayor Bruce B. Cameron told
members of the Rotary club Tues
day that he was solidly behind
the move to extend Wilmington S
city limits.
when the issue was being con-
sidered early this year, I was not
strongly in favor of extension. Now
that 1 have been given the oppor-
tunity to watch the operations of
our government, l have concluded
that the extension is necessary to
the proper growth and develop
ment Of our city," Mayor Cameron
declared.
1.-THE city government gets more
criticism from the people who live
outside than from those within. The
situation ought to be corrected.
Many of those persons ought to
be allowed to become citizens of
Wilmington so they can help fur
nish the leadership, the interest,
and the money that is needed to

TIERS IN NORTH AFRICA,
Sept. 14.-F - American
and British troops fought
hand to hand tonight with el-
ements of three crack Ger
man divisions on the Salerno
bridgehed as Field Marshal
Albert Kesserling made a su-
preme effort to drive the
Fifth Army into the sea.
During the day and into
the night Allied warships
poured out everything from
machine-gun bullets to shell
fire to help protect the mar
row beachhead extending "a
miles south of Salerno and
the entire Fifth Army was
engaged in a grim battle.
The Mediterranean was
alive with ships and planes
as the Allies poured reserves
into the Italian fighting un-
der the direct supervision of
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
1t. Gen. Mark W. Clark,
+he 'ankv commander of the
Fifth Army, and his staff
were in the thick of the fray.
Composition Of Army
"a German radio broadcast re-
corded in London by the British
Ministry of Information said
Clark's army was made up of the
36th and 45th U. S. Infantry di-
visions and the First U. S. Tank
division; the 46th and seth British
Infantry divisions and a British
Tank division. Canadian elements
presumably of one Of the Brit
ish divisions-were reported ION
the northern flank of the Allied
bridgehead")
One hundred miles to the south
the methodical Gen. Sir Bernard
L. Montgomery pushed his Eighth
Army with greater speed, passing
Cosenza in a drive to effect
junction with Clark and take some
of the tremendous pressure off the
Fifth Army. Bari as well as Co.
senza had fallen.
The Allied communique said:
Heavy fighting continues on the
Fifth Army front. The Germans
are counter-attacking desperately
and at certain points have regain.
ed some of the ground previously
taken by u.s.
The extreme depth of the beach,
heads was six or seven miles at
some places. The Mediterranean
was alive with ships landing men
and materiel and pumping deadly
salvoes into the enemy. The city
of Salerno (pop. 77,000) remained
in Allied hands.
The air was streaked with IN
cessant dogfights as the Germans
hurled more and m fighter
bombers into the battle. Allied
planes, $50 miles from their near
est disable landing field, bombed
roads and railways leading to Sa-
lerno, striving nightly to delay
or prevent German reinforce
ments.

were engaged in breaking enemy

Foe Admits
Of Bryansk

LONDON, Sept. 14.-(P)-
The Germans announced to-
day that their troops had
abandoned the key rail city
of Byansk in the face of the
mighty Russian offensive but
the midnight Soviet commu-
nique did not claim its cap
ture and a Reuters dispatch
from Moscow declared fight
ing still was raging in the
streets Of the city.
The Reuters dispatch said
Red Army forces were storm
ing the bastion while the Ma
zis fought to gain time while
their torch squads attempted
to fire or blow up everything
that could not be moved.
Russians Using Nazi News
Frequently since their forces be-
gan smashing the Germans back
across the Ukraine, roofing Hit
ler's armies out OF one strongpoint
after another, the Russians have
permitted their retreating enemies
first to announce strategic" with
drawals before themselves pro-
claiming Soviet victory, frequent
ly in a special order of the day
by Premier Marshal Joseph Stain.
In its only mention of the Bry-
ansk sector, tonight's Russian war
bulletin said merely that Red
army troops in that area fought
offensive engagements and cap
tured several populated places"
The Soviet communique, howev-
er, told of consistent gains along
the entire fighting front of up to
Is miles and claimed the capture
of more than so more tons, viii
lagos and rail centers as the on
rushing Russian armies "contin-
ued successfully to develop their
offensive.
A gain of from IL to is miles
was claimed west of Stalino, where
more than $50 inhabited places,
including eight large towns, fell
to the Soviet advance. SIMILAR
progress was claimed along the
shores of the Sea of Azov, with
the capture of the district center
Of Mangush, II miles west of Ma
riupol, and in the Kharkov and
Nezhin sectors where Russian col
unns were lancing deep into the
rich Ukraine. In Mondays fighting
the Russians claimed destruction
of 80 German tanks and 10 enemy
planes.
Although the Soviets did no
claim the capture of Bryansk, to-
days German broadcast told with
great detail of the Nazis' with
drawal from the ancient fortress
city. The Germans declared they
had evacuated the city in good or
der after stripping it of military
stores and installations.
The capture of Bryansk would
be the greatest Russian victory
since Kharkov fell August 2. There
seemed little doubt that the Rus
slams soon would be back in the
city, perhaps by dawn. The Soviet
command might have withheld an
of the city's fall to
avoid the risk of a premature
claim of victory until the Ger
mans were hurled back from posi-
tons where they might be poised
for a counterattack.
Bryansk is the hinge Of t h
whole German front, and its fall
would give the Red army a strong
base from which to close the trap
door on Smolensk from the south
or to broaden their attack upon
the weak middle Dnieper defenses
upriver from Kiev.
1.-THE city of Bryansk, W h i h
first became known in this war
by the great twin battle of wanna
and Bryansk in the autumn of
1941, in the course of which Ger
man troops surrounded and cap
tured several Soviet armies with
their entire materiel, was evacu-
ated by the Germans during Mon
day night" the broadcast said.
