Americans Take
Key Axis Center

BY the Associated Press,

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, July 1.-THE
British 9th Army fought a stub
born German foe on the edge of
flaming, shell pitted Catania
today, and the battle for the port
halfway up the Eastern Sicilian
coast had entered the final stage.

mile gain from the last known
American position, and is Is miles
northwest of the original beachhead
at Licata. The town is three miles
from Porto Empedocle.
Still another Italian general erst-
while commander of a coastal divi-
sion was captured. His name was
not accounced Immediately.
Seizure of Agrigento put the
Americans on railways running

gave them access to three roads
leading into Northwestern Sicily.
Enemy Tiees Toward Catania.
Capturing Lentini. Is miles below
Catania, and Scordia, nine miles
inland, Gen. Sir Bernard l.. Mont
gomerys troops broke the back of
one German armored division and
parts of another in one of the most
decisive engagements yet fought in
Sicily. Enemy remnants then re-
treated toward Catania in a last
effort to prevent capture of that city,
whose fall would give the Allies con-
troll of a great part of Sicily.

Southwest of the tank-strewn
Catania Plain Canadian troops cap

While the 9th Army rolled up the
Axis coastal flank the Canadians
pushed on through Caltagirone to
hit the enemy on the other side.
Caltagirones fall denied to the Axis
a vital eastward road needed for
the mobilization of German Italian
strength around Catania.

GIorifying

BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

A well-packed lunch box can do
much to step up efficiency and
production. whether it be that of a
war worker or school child. Merely
stuffing it to capacity with food
doesn't mean it is well packed,
however. 1t must also be nutritious,
well-balanced and taste-t tempting.
II it is your job to put up the
lunch box each day, here are three
tips which active workers. such as

THE CRISIS NEARS

Anglo-American invasion of Europe
probably is matter of days, now, rather
than of weeks or months. The worm has
turned, and totalitarianism is about to
go on defensive.
German propagandstS have selected
June 20 as the date. They may not be
far off. Only select few know exactly
when, exactly where, exactly how the al
lies are going to strike. Strongest clues
point to the Mediterranean, but readers
of detective stories understand that the
best way of solving the mystery is to
look where the clues do not point
1t is quite possible, and in keeping with
the most successful methods of modern
warfare, that we may strike simultane-
ously at half dozen or more points, pre-
pared to push hardest whichever blow
finds the weakest spot in Nazi defenses.
1t could be, even, that the decisive
attack will be withheld until feints and
diversions in great force have pulled Hit
ler's forces off balance.
In specializing thus, we are not giving
aid or comfort to the enemy because we,
like all other laymen, are completely i'll
the dark. Axis strategicians undoubted
ly have canvassed all possibilities and
have done their best to prepare against
any eventuality.
lhe one thing about which we and
Hitler's generals can both be quite certain
is that when our INVASION forces finally
disclose the location of their majo drive,
the die in this war will have been cast.
The crisis will be in sight, though the eli
max may still be weary months away.
If we obtain, anywhere on the CONT
nent, bridgehead from which to start
the march on Berlin, the beginning of
the end will have been achieved for Naz-
ism and Fascism and Japanism. If we
fail, in our major attempt our loss is
going to be so terrific that the best we
can hope for will be stalemate
The first relatively small forces that
land through whitening fire will find
hard going, and will remain in imminent
peril until they can be strongly rein
forced.
We must not be alarmed by slow prog
ress and grave dangers at the outset; we
must not be discouraged if tentative. dis
tracing raids-that may look like the
real thing-are defeated.
The invasion of Europe will be the big
gest military operation in history-per-
haps the most complicated Neither ella
tion nor deflation must be permitted to
rule us during the preliminaries.

PROHIBITION
(Stars and StripeS)

(StarS and StrlpeS)
They're at it again in America. and
even as in the days of World War | we
may yet hear that America is Dry.
Most of us in the L. S armed forces
could not be classed as violently opposed
to liquor control for most of us believe
III moderation. On the other hand, there
are few of us who could be included in
the group of Americans who felt the
noble experiment was huge success.
1t is with alarm therefore that we
learn of the growing political strength
of the anti-liQuor crowd in the United
States.
Taking advantage of wartime condi-
tions and restrictions the new prohibi-
tion group is working night and day for
legislation which will give America pro-
hibition in fact if not in name. Using
the tactics of the Farm Block. the anti
liquor crowd is tacking on amendments
to practically every military appropria-
tionS measure IN desperate effort to
secure prohibition or the nearest thing
to it they can force through Congress.
Rationing is playing into their hands
and gives them a good excuse. and no
opportunity is missed to use this excuse
in their effort to limit the production
and distribution of liquor of all types.
We can remember the days of prohibi-
ton, when moonshine whiskey made quick
fortunes for bootleggers, crooked politi-
clans and dishonest police officials AS
a result we claim we know what we want
in the way of liquor legislation and feel
those at home should wait until we re-
return before initiating further legisla-
ton on liquor control.

This is possible because the COM

For the approaching Fourth of
July celebration. especially If any of
the boys and girls In the Armed
Forces are home, you'll need a
cake. Here's one easy on ration
points. Margarine is used in place
of butter, jam for the Filings, and
small amount of powdered sugar
for the topping.
Pack margarine i'm glass refrig-
orator dish that has been lined with
wax paper. Paper makes it easy to
lift margarine out. Then replace
in refrigerator to harden into block
shape.
Here's low-point meat dish for
any American luncheon or dinner:
Liverwurst Roll
One pound piece liverwurst. l
cup enriched flour, 4 teaspoon salt,
6 tablespoons vitaminized mar
garine, about tablespoons water.
Remove the casing from the piece
of liverwurst and wrap in pastry
Make the pastry by adding the
salt to the flour and sitting three
times. Cut in the margarine until
mixture looks like coarse meal. Add
just enough water to make the
pastry cling together. Wrap this
around the liverwurst; bake in a
hot oven (400 deg. F. for about 20
minutes or until the pastry is
brown. Make a simple mushroom
sauce to serve over the top.

WITH OR WITHOUT CUFFS
(Long Beach Press-Telegram)

Uong Beach Press-Telegram)
Not that it makes any particular diff
ference, but merely as a matter of infor-
nation, it is noted that the War Produc-
ton board has ruled that cuffs may once
more appear on new trousers, where there
is sufficient material left over after fit
ting to Justify them.
According to a Washington dispatch,
WPB has lifted all restrictions on the fin
ishing of mems and boys wool trousers,
in effect permitting the sale of trousers
either without cuffs, or with cuffs, or
with simulated cuffs.
Apparently the no-cuff order has gone
the way of the no-bread slicing edict.
What made the cuff edict seem ridcul-
GUS to many persons was the fact that
many of the cuffless trousers offered for
sale had enough material hemmed at the
end of the pant legs to provide plenty of
cuff, So the saving in such instances was
exactly nil
