Naples area and blasted repeatedly
at Aversa, Benevento and Villa
Literno.
The Germans threw strong forces
OF fighters into battle to stop the
destruction, 40 to SO rising at Aversa
to turn aside the attack.
But the Allied air fleets knocked
down IA of the enemy, while losing
10 Of their own ships, and from the
clouds of smoke which rose from
cross-crossing lines of bombs, Allied
airmen noted these results:
Military Stores Burn.
At Ayersa, 20 miles north of
Naples: T,Imbled tracks, cars burst
ing into flames, violent explosions
shaking large buildings to pieces, in
cendiary bombs turning military
warehouses into torches and hits on
the gas works and utilities. The air
men said there was no doubt the
main railway running north from
least temporarily.
At Benevento, 40 miles northeast
of Naples: A railway overpass blown
up, cutting a subsidiary line run
ming across the peninsula from
Naples; repair shops, main junction
and large number of tank cars
torn up and trails of explosions and
fires.
At Villa Literno. just north of
Naples: Wellingtons which made
this attack at night saw hits on
the railroad station and tracks.
Airdrome Bombed.
WarhaWks also swept over Sar-
DINA and bombed the vicinity of
Monserrato airdrome in the south
eastern part of the island. They
met no opposition.
Other fighter bombers and fight
ers, keeping the italian toe in q
constant state of filters, roamed
almost unchallenged and found
their targets steadily diminishing.
They found few boats to shoot at,
but bombed two trains near Locri
on the bottom of the toe.
Nevertheless. they pecked away at
vulnerable functions, bridges and
mountainsides where bomb might
start a landslide onto tracks and
roads.
Today's naval communique said
the American expedition which &C.
cupied the Lipari penal island of
the north coast of Sicily four days
ago found the place had been used
by the Germans for unspecified
military purposes, but said the Ger
man forces had left a few days
before the surrender.

HIGHWAY PLANS
BEING STUDIED
Many Changes Expected
Here During Postwar
Period; City Aiding

During yesterdays meeting Of the
city plan commission, proposals for
highways by-passing the center of
the city were discussed. Theodore
Scott-Smith, engineer Of the COM
mission, displayed maps showing
north-south and east-West highways
through the city which had been
recommended by the state highway
department.
The details of the plans are being
kept a secret until the proper time
arrives for them to be divulged,
however, it was revealed that the
present plans will concern many eX-
isting streets and will condemn
many pieces of property to straight
en- out 'unruly" streets and corners
These plans are part Of the state
highway departments proposals for
postwar highways. The expenses are
expected to be provided by both
state and federal governments. Per-
hitting the rights of way will be
the city's only obligation.
The city plan commission didn't
act upon the plans, instead referred
them to Engineer Scott-Smith and
City Engineer Charles A. Root for
further study. None of these plans
will be crystalized until after the
war, it was revealed, and the expense
of which will not be held responsible
to the city.

SUPREME COURT
TO HEAR APPEAL
Waterbury Trust Co. Joins
City in Fight for Porter
Estate Request

An appeal from the superior court
decision which denies the City of
Waterbury use of the David G..
Porter trust fund for erection of a
trade school will be taken to the
State Supreme Court of Errors, ac-
cording to an announcement made
following conference Of counsel in
the case yesterday afternoon APP
pellants will be the City of Water
bury, represented by Corporation
Counsel Maurice T. Healey, and the
Waterbury Trust Company, trustee
of the fund, whose counsel is Attor-
ney Walter Torrance.
Decision to appeal was reached af-
ter a study of the memorandum
handed down Saturday in which
Judge Frank P. McEvoy ruled Mr.
Porter's specifications for establish
ment of a school do not approx
mate the characteristics of a trade
school, Although the city plans to
go ahead with its trade school plans
regardless of the outcome of the
appeal, it has been pointed out pos
seSsino of the addition funds
would insure an early start.
Submission of briefs stating the
reasons of appeal will be the first
proceedings in the appeal, and it
will be followed by finding from
Judge McEvoy. The legal considera-
lions, which include the printing of
evidence in the case, are expected to
use considerable time and it may be
many months before the case reach
eS the higher ocurt.
Although heirs of Mr.. Porter are
expected to ask for disposition Of
the funds in a petition to probate
court, the fund will remain in trust
until final decision is made on the
Interpretation proceedings. Judge
McEvoy ruled that the fund, which
is valued at $201 ,07581, should re-
vert to the heirs of Mr.. Porter.

PESSIMISM STUDS
NEW FOOD SURVEY
Report, Due in Few Days,
Expected to Be Most
Despairing Yet Issued
BY FRED BAILEY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, June 15--(UP)-The
War Food Administration today
prepared a new survey of the ma
tional food situation which Is ex-
pected to be the most pessimistic yet
issued.
The report, due In a few days, was
understood to reflect the consider
able damage" caused by floods in
the middle west and northeast as
well as by dry weather over much
of the Great Plains.
Meat slaughter and dairy produc-
ton have not been up to previous
forecasts and crop prospects are
the poorest in three years Oficials
said there had been no general i'm
provement in crop prospects since
the unfavorable June l report by
the Agriculture department.
1.-THE way it begins to look now"
one food official said, by next win
ter the question consumers are 60
ing to ask most often is not What
is the price, but Can I get it?'"
Meanwhile, Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Brown returns from a
vacation to face SO wholesalers and
retailers who have come here to
air their opinions on the operation
of community wide ceiling prices
and mark-ups, the proposed subsidy
rollback program for retail food
prices, and other OPA policies.
The visiting merchants were in
vited for a two-day conference by
OPA and are expected to come we'll
equipped with complaints and sug-
gestions.
The increasing indication that the
food production situation is cause
for concern, as well as discomfort
over federal food administration, has
prompted some congressman to in
sist on changes in administration
policies. Rep. Hampden Fulmer, D.,
culture committee, said he was
seeking an appointment for sub
committee he heads to discuss the
general food program with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Fulmer expects to urge that food
price powers be transferred from the
Office of Price administration to
the War Food administration. He
would like to have Mr. Roosevelt
make the change by administrative
order or obtain his approval Of a
house bill to effect the shift.
The increasing congressional de-
mands for a change in the food
administration setup were discussed
at a conference of congressional
leaders with James F. Byrnes. direc-
tor of the Office of War Manage
ment, yesterday. The delegation
expressed support of the proposal
to give VIA Director Chester C.
Davis food price control authority.
Davis has not publicly asked for that
power. but associates said he fells
strongly that he should have it.
Davis now is limited to determine
ton of what shall be rationed and
when but has no authority over the
amount allocated to individuals or
the price paid growers or charged
consumers. The OPA policy of keep
ing retail food prices from rising
was said by VIA officials to handi-
cap Davis efforts to increase pro-
duction.
Davis was said to have told SEN
ate group recently that he does not
favor food subsidies. The admins
tration. however, has shown no in
dication of dropping the subsidy
program despite congressional and
farm organization disapproval.
