RED ARMY
 TAXES TWO
 OREL ROADS
German Communications Are Now Threatened
 in Fighting Area
(By Associated Press)


 The Red Star, official newspaper of the Soviet Army, reports the Russian troops have captured two main roads leading from Bolkhov south to Orel and southwest to Karachev, threatening the German communications with Bryansk and leaving the Nazi forces only one ummenaced highway from the great base southwest to Dmitrovsk.
 German broadcasts last night seemingly admitted the Russian penetration southwest of Orel proper and today's German communique said fresh and strong Russian ln- fantry and tank forces attempted to break through southwest of Orel'' but were warded off by theoretically fighting" German troops and ground temporarily lost was regained.
 The Germans have concentrated large forces northwest, of Orel and have established a strong system of fortified points in an effort to hold two roads, the Red Star says, but intensified Russian attacks have broken the enemy line and it now appears that Orel itself might be in danger of complete isolation as the Germans continued to withdraw westward of their shattered posi- tions.

 Mass American Affatk

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Aug. ? - Delayed--Rumanian and German fire fighting services are battling a great fire which rages throughout the entire petroleum area of Plo- esti, hit Sunday by American Lib orator bombers. This is according to first reports of eye witnesses reaching neutral Turkey.
 At the same time it is learned that seven of the American bomb CTS were forced down in Turkey and an eighth crashed near the Turkish beach and crew members made their way to shore in rub Der boats. The raid involved q round trip of 2,400 miles.
 All crews of the United States planes were interned by Turkish authorities. Three bombers came down in the Izmir district on the west Turkish coast. There are no details concerning the others.
 Witnesses Hysterical
 The first reports of the Ploesti fire came from telephone conver- sations with eye witnesses who were near hysteria and obviously awed by the terrific destruction of the raid--the greatest low-leyel mass bombing attack in history.
 One witness said the fire was the biggest he had seen anywhere. He said the bombers hit just about everything that was worth hitting in the entire mile-long oil pump ing and refinery district.
 A terrific air battle ragged dur ing the attack. Swarms of Ger

Americans Rouf Germans at Capizzi Cerani in
 Offensive GAMMA PLAIN IS
 ENTERED BY ALLIES
Substantial Bridgehedd Is Established North of
 DiitdinO River

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Aug. 3.-Canad- ian forces have captured Regalbuto, breach in the Mount Etna line, and the American doughboys have routed the Germans at CapiZzi Cerani in decisive Sicilian Of fensive.
 N The Germans, backed into Sicily's Cape Bon" reeled under fiery con- certed attacks of the American. Canadian and British troops heavily supported by air forces.
 Enemy Battered
 The American Seventh Army ex- orably battered the weakening northern flank of the enemy as Montgonlery's men established substantial bridgehead north of the Dittaino River and entered the west end of the Catania Plain.
 These successes are but highlights of the series of vicious jabs that have cost the Germans hundreds of dead.
 Rage on to Troina
 Pattons American troops are re- ported raging on from Capizzi Ger ami to within five miles of the strategic inland road junction at Troina between the sea and Mount Etna. 20 miles southeast of the American held San Stefano. Late this afternoon it was reported the Americans have entered Troina.
 The Canadians and British are manning the bridgehead north of the Dittaino River, where they are fighting the new Fifteenth German Armored Division, successor to the Fifteenth lost in Tunisia.
 Fierce Struggle
 On the north bank of the Dit taino River, five miles south of Regalbuto and p miles west Of Catana, the struggle is reported to be a fierce one.
 The capture of Regalbuto gave the mixed Canadian and British left wing of the Eighth Army com mand a crucial angle in the Mount Etna line which guards the west Catania Plain
 No official sources give informal ton as to the progress of the Brit ish attacks across the plain.

German Information Bu- reau Admits Breach,
 Says Temporary

LONDON, Aug. 3-The Interna- tional Information Bureau, German propaganda agency, said in broad cast from Berlin tonight that the Red Army has made temporary breach" south of Orel in an effort to break through German lines to Bryansk
 This probably means that the Russians have practially overwhelm- ed Nazi defenses in this sector and that the German people are being let down softly for the bad news to come.
 The broadcast said in violent counterattack the German troops dislodged the Russians from the two dominating heights, thus ef- fectively nullifying the breach"

TO INVADE
 MAINLAND
 OF ITALY
Last Warning fo Surrender Given in AIgiers Broad
 cast Last Evening

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Italians were again warned in radio broadcasts from Algiers last night that Allied land forces will soon invade the mainland as a follow up of the re- sumption of the aerial offensive caused by the temporizing Military Government of Italy on the de- mands to surrender.
 We warn you again our Air Force will strike at you and soon our land forces will be fighting on the Italian mainland"
 Radio interferences generally y were reported as the Axis operators of broadcasting stations attempted to black out transmission of the message to Italians.
 Hundreds of thousands of Italian civilians are reported fleeing from the metropolitan and military areas even before the U. S. Flying Fort resses headed for Naples on Sunday to pick up where they left off when surrender demands delayed bomb- ings for several days.

 SPENDING TO
 BE SETTLED
Congress Likely 10 Oppose New Taxes Unless
 CurfdiIed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. The Presidents request for stiff" in- creases in taxes, made in a review of the revised $105 billion budget for this fiscal year, appeared like ly to be countered in Congress as bipartisan demands for closer scru- tiny of public spending popped up
 Senator Kenneth s. Wherry ot Nebraska told an interviewer he believes the huge financial prob- lem ought to involve reduced gov- ernment outlays as well as enact ment of new taxes.
 Senator Robert Taft of Ohio pre- dicted Congress will have trouble finding additional revenue sources for a truly stiff program of ad- ditional taxes, savings, or both.'
 The President said both should be enacted in his budget summa- ton, the first in five years. Roo seyelt said that while the overall war spending outlook remained un- changed, the Army is now expected to use $6 billion less than the $62 billion estimated for it last Janu- ary, and the Navy's share has been upped $4 billion to $28 billion.
 Congressional circles viewed this perhaps as indicating a greater of fensive power is being sought for the Pacific theater which is do- minated by the Navy.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST, Aug. 3,-Am- erican ground forces drove forward 500 to l,200 yards along the Munda, New Georgia front, as Allied ar tillery for the first time was brought to bear on the Jap base at Sala- maua, New Guinea.
 Reports from Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., gave no details of the manner or direction of the gains against Munda except to say con- siderable quantities of material were captured.
 700 Yards Away
 The last previous position given said the Americans were 1900 yards from Munda so it is possible they are now only TOO yards from the Jap base at one point.
 The artillery on Salamaua was directed at an airdrome Planes were destroyed on the ground and a 60- foot section of the Francisco bridge was knocked away. Direct hits were scored on Jap anti-aircraft bat terieS.
 In the air Army and Navy planes delivered punishing blows at the enemy base on Bougainville Island. A freighter was set afire, tanker hit and eight barges were sunk.
 Five hundred bombs were dropped on Kahili airdrome, damaging

 Unless he cached some clothes Krug is only in his swimming trunks.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON.-Unsung U. s. heroes who contributed heavily to Mussolinis downfall were Italian American boys smuggled into Sicily several weeks before U. s. troops landed
 How they got ashore must re- main a military secret. But the fact that they got there is now recognized as a part of military operations, just as the advance landing of It. Gen. Mark Clark in North Africa, carrying bags of U. s. gold.
 These Italian-Americans were especially trained in the danger GUS, delicate job of winning over military garrisons in advance of a landing force. In Sicily they had the advantage of speaking the lan- guage and being able to visit the homes of their relatives, few of whom loved Mussolini. From there they were able to WOrK around tO various military leaders.
 It has long been known that Italian military leaders were of two types. One is the professional soldier like Field Marshal Bado- elio who was in the army before H1ussolini's time and has no love for the Fascists. Also he has no love for the Nazis, and so was not too difficult to win over to the Allied side.
 Other type Of Italian military leaders is the Fascist Blackshirt, who rose through favors from Il Euce, but who usually IS susceptible to coin of the realm. Presumably U s. advance scouts were supplied with what Gen Clark took with him in advance into North Africa
 At any rate, expert advance work by patriotic italian Americans, plus toe popularity of the United States in Sicily, contributed to one of the most bloodless landing expeditions in history.
 Also the psychological shock of the headlong U. s. rush through Si6jly was what toppled Mussolini eff his thornv throne.

By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. = When it became apparent that Fl Gro province in Ecuador might become an economic desert or a disease ridden agricultural jungle as re- suit of the border war between Ecuador and Peru, United States Good Neighbor agencies" with ap- proval and cooperation of the local government, moved in.
 Nelson Rockefeller's Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Af- fairs set aside half a million dol lars for the task, and the Export Import Bank lent the newly or ganized Ecuadoran Development Corp, formed to develop the econ- omy of Ecuador as whole, $5,000,- 900.
 Rockefeller's office appointed a commission of men with practical experience in equatorial medicine, rehabilitation, agriculture, and eco- monies. This commission was as- signed to the Ecuadoran Develop ment Corporation, an insurance against overlapping activity an d authority.
 The commissions first act was to fly in great quantities of vac- cines, sulfa drugs and quinine. Next came food-potatoes rice, beans, onions, canned milk. After that came soap, cooking utensils and tools for building and clearing the jungles. Sanitary squads were set up. The 4O,000 refugees from the
