The Wor As Waged On All BottIefieIds
By UNITED PRESS

American and Canadian troops drove ahead in intensified fighting on the Sicilian front today as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called on Italy to throw out the Germans and remove the fast obstacle to an inn mediate and honorable peace.
 Lieut.. Gen. George S. Patton's seventh army occupied three towns and the Canadians on its right seized one, bending back the north ern end of the Axis defense line to the triangle in which the showdown battle for Sicily must be fought.
 While the interlocked military and political situations ill Italy and Sicily moved toward crisis, the unprecedented Anglo-American air offensive from Britain eased off after five days of record breaking performances.
 In the east, the Red Army pounded German troops withdraw ing from the area south of Orel The position of the 25O,OO0 Germans who garrisoned the key base ap- peared to be deteriorating steadily.
 Eisenhower's armies stepped up their attack in Sicily, driving through the northern and central toawns of Pollina, Castelbuono, Gangi and Leonforte as Italy struggled with an internal crisis which some sources indicated might precipitate open hostilities between the European members of the Axis.
 The Swiss radio said the Germans were destroying military installa- tions in Catania, anchor post of the Etna line on the east coast. If so they evidently were preparing to give up the base.
 The situation in Italy still was obscure. Clearly Eisenhower sought to contribute to specialization of policy by his radio message to the Italian people. He offered them peace, and implied that negotia- tions might be going on. The sale remaining barrier to peace for Italy, he said, is the German force "still on Italian soil"
 Madrid said that Italian troops might soon be fighting the Germans in North Italy or elsewhere, if and when the Nazis seek to block the return of Italian soldiers from the Balkans and France.
 Unrest spread eastward from Italy through the Balkans, 1t ap- peared. Marshal Erwin Rommel was reported to have arrived in Greece, where disorders coincided with purported peace movement among the Balkan satellites of the Nazis.
 The London radio said Germans and Italian occupation forces in Greece had fired on each.

Strike HoIts
 Shipment Of .Wor Supplies

Nearly half a million pounds of essential war material remained tied up at the loading platforms of the Lombard Bros. trucking company this morning as a walkout of the company's 40 Waterbury drivers en- tered its second day.
 A second meeting is scheduled for this morning with Cmsr. H. F. Tucker of the U. s. Department of Labor and Deputy Cmsr. J. T. Hayes of the State Department of Labor who are attempting to conciliate the dispute.
 Joseph Lombard, company spokes- man, last night termed the stoppage wildcat strike" called without authority by Frank Finnerty, the steward of local 677 of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers, AFL. Mr. Lombard said the walkout occurred yesterday morning after George J. Mcdonald, a driver, was given a weeks suspension for refus- ing to make trip to New Britain.
 Union officials could not be reached for comment this morning. One of the striking drivers said last night that Mcdonald, an en- ploye of the concern for 20 years, re- fused to drive trailer truck to New Britain because he was not an experienced trailer driver, but of- fered to take any other job avail able. When the news of his sus- pension got around, the other driv- CTS walked out in protest.
 Other drivers reported that there had been i'll feeling amongst the men for some time because of "too much work and too many trucks to be moved by too few drivers" The drivers complain that they are called upon to make trips at any hour of the day or night. A short work stoppage occurred about two weeks ago at the company.
 A contract between the company and employees expired April II, and negotiations have been under way for a new contract. MT. Lombard said that at present the drivers re- ceive 83 cents an hour for the first 51 hours of work and SPA 1-2 an hour after 51 hours.
 | In addition to the Waterbury | truckers involved, MT. Lombard said the company has more than 10C drivers in Bridgeport, Hartford, Bos- ton, Springfield, Elizabeth and Phil adelphia.

Allies Fire yop Ships
BY BRYDON TAVES United Press Staff Correspondent

Allied Headquarters, Southwest, Pacific, July 29 - (UP) Allied planes set afire Japanese destroyer and cargo vessel and destroyed seven barges and two launches in the New Britain area in new blows at enemy supply lines, a communi- que announced today.
 Light naval vessels--possibly PIT boats--operating on both ends of the long southern Pacific front added six more barges to the toll while raiding planes shot up barge hide outs in the Huon Gulf area of New Guinea and scored damaging near misses on 2500-ton cargo vessel off Dutch New Guinea.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head quarters reported nothing new on ground action either at Munda, on New Georgia Island in the Central Solomons, or along the New Guinea northeast coast. However, strong force of DaLntless and Avenger bombers aided the American forces inching toward Munda by dropping 47 tons of explosives on the Japan csc positions Wednesday
 Spotted by reconnaissance planes off Cape Gloucester, on the north west tip of New Britain above New Guinea, the destroyer and cargo ship suffered Cirect hits from heavy bombers and were left burning | fiercely. A Japanese transport plane was destroyed on the Cape Glou- cester airdrome.

BRITAIN ALSO HAS TRAVEL PROBLEM, BUT APPEALS THERE ARE ENFORCED
Gub|e Tanks Still Buy Borroeg Balloons Take Home Riddles
By TOM WOLF NEA Staff Correspondent

IT ONDON, July % WEATHER IL REPORT: If for any possible reason you want to make an Am ican in England feel homesick, white him about how you've been suffering from the heat.
 June and July here have seemed colder, wetter, nastier than March. The British call this weather most unreasonable" Sun-loving G. Is call it something else.
 SIREN CALL: When it become known that the government was planning changes in the air raid warning system recently, some newspapers hinted that the sirens might become a relic of the past. Since most of the enemy planes over London during the past few months have been lone raiders, there's a sizable section of the populace which would rather take it's chances on being hit without notice than being wakened in the middle of the night.
 There has been so little enemy activity over the capital recently that in July large sections of the British press filled scores of ra- toned columns playing a game called, Where's the Luftwaffe?'
 SMALL FRY: Growing up in Britain is whole generation which can't remember anything about peace and peacetime living. A re- cent survey of Britain's youngest generation revealed that the 6-and- unders were almost completely ignorant about such diversified peacetime normalities as bananas and street lights Most of the kids assumed that the barrage balloons had always been there. Stars and Stripes" re ported the case of one very young lady who is said to end her prayers: And, dear God. please make the war end soon so Daddy can play with me while Mummy goes to work
 HOLIDAY NOTE: There's a travel problem over here, too. But Britons are discovering that the railroads weren't kidding when they plastered the stations with signs urging civilians to "stay put" this summer. At least one line has start ed rationing vacaIoners, issuing only 100 tickets per day to civilians bound for seaside points.

Officials Reported Studying New Plans
 To Meet Conditions
Various Social Agencies Strongly in Favor of Neigh borfood Program; Main Center Opens Monday
 Morning on Prospect Street

will be opened next Monday morn- ing at 630 a. m. and will operate on a 6-day-a-week basis from that time on. Seven children are to be admitted on Monday with a gradual increase every otner day until the full quota of 60 children has been obtained.
 Later centers will be opened at the federal housing tracts on Long Hill and on Hamilton avenue. Con- struction of buildings for this pur- pose is now going on and, accord ing to present .)lans, they should be ready for use in late September or early October. These centers will be not only for children of residents of the federal hous- ing projects, but for any others whose homes are in such vicinities.
 While the operation of these three centers will solve a serious problem, it will also be necessary to expand such services so that all mothers who are employed in war indus tries or who wish to be released for such purposes can place their children in a properly-supervised in- stitution during the day. It is believed that the Brooklyn section will be the first neighborhood to which the Child Care Committee will move in an effort to solve the problem the oay care for children.
 A year Or so ago the late Mayor Vincent A. Scully discussed the pos sibility of retaining the old Por- ter street school for such purposes as the above, but the idea was never carried beyond the discussion stage. It is now known that officials are discussing ways and means of ex- banding. child care services and are surveying different sections of the city as to possible structures which might be used for such purposes.
