dalena is as dead today as the day

little possibility that it will revive

Citizens with homes and busi-
neSSes here naturally are somewhat
bitter over the situation without
realizing that it is due in large part
to the islands geographical position
with a narrow channel making al
most as much difference as if it
were the Atlantic ocean. They are
very hungry but it is practically
impossible for them to get into the
country, where there is plenty.

of Sardinia. is starving city. 1t is
the city itself which is starving
rather than individuals in it.
The name of this clean solidly
built town with normal population
of about 10000 and whose chief
claim to fame is that Garibaldi
died there. was in the news last
spring when American bombers
were raiding it from Africa. ex-
pected to find f1attened town. In
stead, there was almost no evidence
of bomb damage. There was only
one crater in the streets, only one
building wrecked. Even the harbor
installations seemed unchanged.
This probably was the cleaneSt job
of bombing ever done. The medium
bombers concentrated on ships in
the harbor only and hit nothing
else.
But today, more than three
months since the last raid, the pop
ulation is down to 1000 and there
is hardly any evidence of life in
shops are open. food is practically
unobtainable. 1t is a place of DESC
late silence. There are no children.
There are no women. The city is
starving in the midst of relative
plenty. The seas around it are full
of fish. Lobsters abound on the
rocky coast. But there is no food.
The city is on small rocky is
land cut off from Sardinia by 5
miles of water Early this spring
the greater part of the population
was evacuated TO Sardinia. They
have been unable to return because
there is no transportation to get
food from the country to the city.
Fishing boats are not allowed out
because the Germans mined the
surrounding waters before leaving
a few weeks ago. There is food
enough 20 miles away. 1t might as
we'll be thousand miles away. The
Italian navy cannot allow the pop
ulation to return because it needs
all the food which can be brought in.
Maddalena's worst bombing say
the citizens, came on April 10 when
the cruiser Trieste was sunk in the
harbor with the loss of about 200
lives. The cruiser Goriza which lay
beside it, was badly damaged but
managed to get away. The city has
been occupied for the last two years
by about 1000 Germans operating
antiaircraft defenses and radar
equipment. Three weeks ago the
Italians drove them out and into

Peru Library Fire
Attributed 10 Arson
After Investigation
By ALLEN HADEN.

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and

LIMA, Peru, Oct. l6 CVia Clipper
Arson by persons unknown de-
stroyed Peru's collection of priceless
colonial manuscripts and newspa-
pers, according to the cautious re-
port of the subcommittee investigat-
ing the mysterious fire which on
May 10 destroyed the National
Library at Lima.
There is no way of ascertaining
exactly how much has been lost,
since there was no complete cata-
logue. 1t is estimated, however, that
the National Library contained at
least 100000 volumes, besides many
thousands of manuscripts pertaining
to the history of Peru and the Span
iSh colonization of America.
Who the criminals may be and
their motives were not specified by
Jose Galvez, Luis Alayza Paz Soldan
and Honorio F. Delgado, the three
eminent Peruvians who signed the
report dated June 10, but only pub
liShed September 20. But after
careful investigation-Without help
of police or courts-they set aside
the possibility of accident.
However, unique manuscripts with
the seal of the library have since ap-
peared in Chile, in Buenos Aires and
In Washington. Obviously somebody
connived in selling them. Some of
these manuscripts have been sold
back to Peruvian government de-
partmentS.

national heritage DR.. Jorge BaSadre,
