CAIRO, July l9.-Pilots who
bombed Rome today said after
returning to their North African
bases that they had no difficulty
in finding their military targets
in the clear morning sunshine
because of the unusually large
number of landmarks which dot
the Italian capital, according to
first reports reaching Cairo.
They picked up the ke-like
Tiber River outside Rome and fol-
lowed it into the city.
The pilot said they saw evidence
that the Italians already had taken
steps to protect some of Rome's his
toric monuments. Columns of the
Traian Arch of Titus and the beau
tiful cascades. ornamented by the
sculptures of Bernini had been en-
cased in thick concrete. they said.

Eternal City.
Warned by Eden.
The last official statement on the
question was given by Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden on June 80,
when he told Commons:
I'VE would not hesitate to bomb
Rome to the best Of our ability and
as heavily as possible if the course
of the war should render such action
necessary
The decision to bomb Rome was
taken in London 10 mean that Allied
authorities had decided military co.,
siderations of the attack would out
weigh inevitable reaction from Axis
and neutral sources.
II was pointed out that Axis
propaganda. which has been trying
desperately to build up international
sympathy for victims of the Ruhr
bombings, would be intensified by
what undoubtedly will be called
Dissertation of Rome.
Apparently, however, Allied au-
thorlties decided the bombing-in

The Berlin radio, striving to

Rome for propaganda purposes,
lost little time today in broad
casting alleged Vatican reaction.
In broadcast recorded by the
Associated Press at time when the

Vatican and all clerical circles

Rome Monday, which. contrary to
all assurances given by the United
States and Britain, has destroyed
many residential houses in Rome.
Immediately after the all-clear,
church authorities sent their Off
cials to all parts of the city to note
the damage in order to report on
it to the Pope
The Pope felt considerable dis
appointment in the attitude Of the
Allies when he observed fires in

There was nothing from any
authorized or trustworthy source to
show what the Vaticans reaction
was

Automobile Association issued a
statement attacking OPA meth

Issued in an effort to make present
tire stocks last until synthetic cas-

quantity, the new rules ban the sale
of new, used or recapped tires to
any motorist who already has four
sound tires and one that can be
used as an emergency spare.
The OPA, which made the an

remain in effect for the next few
months until some unspecified date
Only flremen, doctors and others
dealing with emergencies are exempt
from the new restrictions.

The OPA also announced today
that B, c, E and R gas coupons here

was made to encourage drivers to

He said no prediction can yet be

pected almost any day.

Shuns Ferfunctory Talk.
A meeting to shake hands with
Mr.. Roosevelt and have 4 per-
functory discussion Of the many
matters Of common interest to
both nations would not be WORTH
while and would be an inconven-
ience for the President who
would be required to take q long
journey.
Those who claim to be able to
read the mind Of the Russian
leader say, however, that he sees
no reason for 4 parley with his
associates In the West If 1t would
result only in encouraging words
and 4 personal description of the
Allied strategy in the West.
That strategy Is conceived by
the Russian general staff to mean
an attack against the NaIs in
Western Europe and not opera
tions in the Mediterrean which
the Russians are said to have
described rs mere nibbling at the
outskirts Of the Nazi fortress.
Had the Allies decided that
Western Europe would be invaded
At about the same time the Nazis
start their last offensive against
Russia, there may have been
some good reason for the three
civilian leaders to meet and put
the final military and political
touches to their plans.

western front should be, delayed

that we are unlimited liars, wholly
unfit to be trusted. We build them
up to expect liberation, We encour-
age them to commit acts Of sabo-
tage, to risk death, and to suffer 1t.
At the moment when this process
reaches its high climax. We flip our
skirts ut them and take of for some
where else. An agent provocateur,
working for Hitler, deliberately en-
courasing 4 premature rebellion,
could do no worse than this Nation
would be doing If 1t followed such
q course.
The fourth result would be to per-
suade Russia that she, too, must fol-
low an independent course. In fol-
lowing that independent course, she
would naturally make use of Eu-
ropes bitter disappointment In us.
Mr.. Chandler's curious argument
that We had better get out of
Europe because Russia intends to
have her own way, actually ends by
compelling Russia to have her own
way, even If she doesn't want to
have her own way. There would be
nothing else left.
Would Aiienate Sentiment.
Fifthly, we would ALLEVIATE that SEN
timent, which now RACES around the
world, for a swift finish to Hitler
and to fascism.
We are 50 accustomed to paying
difference to isolationists, because
they are often angry men, and have
red faces, and shout loudly, that
We forget we have to keep the other
kind Of sentiment on our side, too.
AS to what 1t would do to our cause
to convince the plain people Of our
country and the world that We have
no real interest In destroying fak-
cism, leave 1t to the earnest reader
to imagine.
The results, I think, would be far
worse than merely to take q chance
on vexing Senator Wheeler.
Sixthly, We would have embarked
on 4 military adventure requiring
US to fight where our equipment is
not, and without allies, in prefer
ence to fighting where our equip
ment Is, and with allies. This mon
strous strategic conception is the
very one the Axis sought to impose
on US, by putting Japan into the
war. Our problem is to defeat
Japan, as We must, but without let
ting this diversionary strategy be
inflicted upon us. Thus to accept
Mr.. Chambers prescription would
be to turn Japan's tactical defeats
Of the last nine months into 4 stra-
tegic victory.

In this short treatment; 4 twice.
