ALLIES CLEANING
UP IN SARDINIA

pushing forward toward Bonifacio,
on the extreme southern tip Of
the island, and Port Vecchio, about
16 miles to the north.
Most of the 10000 Italians gar
risoning Corsica have teamed up
with the French troops ard guer-
rillas, although lone Italian Fas-
cist regiment was said in a naval
announcement to have joined the
German defense. The Germans
were reported strung from Bastia
in the north to Bonifacio in the
south. The French Commands
participating in the attack landed
from swift French warships.
In the Salerno area, IL to 20 air
line miles south of Naples, the
German retreat northWard to form
single line against United States
and British troops of the Fifth and
Eighth Armies appeared to be
gaining impetus.
The capture of Eboli gave the
Allies an important highway cen
ter and the key to German escape
exits east of the Salerno battle
field.
While a portion OF h Fifth
Army was driving on east through
Eboli, other units of 1t. Gen. Mark
w. Clark's command wor d
through Montecorvino Rovella, a
little north of Eboi and nine miles
inland
Yet another prong of his army
worked its way slowly through the
rugged mountain area north of Sa-
lerno near smoking Mt. Vesuvius.
German opposition was light.
Naples, announced objective OF
Gen. Clark, was within l2-mile
artillery range of his troops which
captured the Sorrento peninsula,
thanking the Bay of Naples on the
south.
American fighter-bombers bat
tered large columns of German
motor transportfleeing west from
Potenza, 40 miles east of Ebol.
Presumably, these columns, or
such as survived the terrific rain
of bombs and aerial machine gun
bullets, were hoping to escape on
an inland road which heads north
ward at point west of Potenza.
Once again the German air force
was wholly absent from southern
Italian skies.
A military spokesman said the
Germans were pulling out OF the
lower end of the Salerno front to
avoid entrapment by the advanc-
ing British Eighth Army. The bulk
of the enemy already is north of
the Sele river. In retreat closely |
pursued by the Eighth Army, the
enemy was using infantry n
small groups of tanks in a delay
ing action and suffering h avy
losses from constant air attacks
and ground blows from the Eighth.
Nowhere did the Germans make
a determined stand.
Reports from the Italian front
indicated the enemy mad been I'M
able to disengage himself suffi-
GENTLY to destroy roads and bridg-
es and plant minefields, or to sal
wage any considerable portion of

Early Stock Gains
Cut or Converted
Into Losses
Selling Never Urgent
And Volume Declines
In Late Trading
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK. May 2o.-stock
market in-and-outers today found
enough news worries to inspire profit
taking on the two-session upswing
and early gains running to a point
or more were reduced or converted
into losses near the close.
The most hopeful element, from a
bullish standpoint, was that selling
never was urgent. Dealings were
fastest at the start when prices we're
adding to Wednesdays advance.
Volume then began to dwindle as
trends faltered and turnover for
the full proceedings was around
1900, 900 shares.
Among excuses for tightening COM
mitments here and there was the
spread OF walkouts in soft coal min
ing districts in the face of official
extension Of the union labor truce.
Chilling also were sporadic strikes
in other fields. Offsets were seen In
a revival of investment demand for
high-grade stocks Cheering war
news continued to bolster issues in
the peace category
Bonds were steady.

'43 Spring Pig Crop
Set al y Per Cent
More Than Last Year
Agriculture Department
Says FoII Production
Will Be 2l% Higher
BY the Associated Press.


The Agriculture Department esti-
mated today the 1S43 spring pig
crop totaled 74,O50.0Oo head, or Is
per cent more than the record crop
of 1881 and % per cent more than
last year.
The department also said reports
from farmers on farrowing plans
indicated a 1s43 fall pig crop of
about 100000 head, or an in
crease of about 5000 900 or 81 per
cent over the 1912 fall crop.
If borne out, the combined spring
and fall crops would give total l943
production of about 127 900 900 head
compared with los, 900 900 last year
and 10-year average of 73,14S 600.
Exceeds Davis Proposal.
The prospective fall crop is con-
Siderably larger than War Food Ad-
minisrator Chester C. Davis had
recommended. Because of dwin-
ding livestock feed supplies, par
ticularly corn, Mr.. Davis had asked
that the fall crop be increased not
more than 10 per cent.
Today's estimates were based on
returns obtained from 1873 900 farm
ers in cooperation with the Post
Once Department through rural
mail carriers.
The department said the spring
pig crop was larger this year than
last in all regions and In all States,
with the largest relative increases in
regions outside the corn belt. For
the corn belt, the increase was 20
per cent. Increases in other geo.
graphic divisions were: North At
lantic, 35 per cent South Atlantic,
% per cent: South Central, %, and
Western, "a.
Farrowings Increase.
The number of sows farrowed in
the 1943 spring season was estima ted
at l2,140,000 head, an increase of 26
per cent over 1912. The average
number OF pigs saved per litter this
spring was 81 compared with 631
in 1912 and l0-year average of
sos.
The number of sows to farrow in
the 1943 fall season was indicated
by farmers reports at 8.516,000 head
an increase of 1881 600 over the
number farrowed last fall. As with
spring farrowings, the largest rel
atiye increases were indicated in re-
gions outside the corn belt.
The estimated number Of hogs
over six months old on June l this
year was estimated at 36,257 900
head or 7,4l6,O00 more than on the
corresponding date last year.
