 Still another blow at Italian com munications was struck by British warships which sailed boldly against the west coast to shell the communi- cations center of Scalea, 26 miles southeast of Cape Palinuro, where the coastal railway runs hears the sea.

BY MERRIMAN SMITH Limited Press Staff Correspondent


 Limited Press Staff Correspondent Quebec City, August 20. = (UP) = President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill - while aware of Russian demands for a sec- ond front - were believed today to have decided to give air power it's chance to crush Germany first and, in any event, to blast such a path of destruction that land armies may invade Europe with the fewest possible casualties.
 Accompanying this first, crushing phase will be re- minders to the German peo- pie that they have the alter native of getting out of the war or seeing the Allies "bomb, burn and destroy" eVeryCnlng III CnelT PatH.
 Lessons Learned
 It was emphasized that this does not mean that the date of an Allied landing has not been fixed nor that it may not come sooner than ordi- narily expected. It does mean, how ever, that the lessons of Pantelleria and Sicily have taught United Ma tions' leaders the value of intensive air preparations in aprreciably shortening any campaign.
 Ths President and Prime Minister were drawing near the end of their historic sixth war time meeting and late today were to be joined by Secretary of State Cordell Hull who, with British Foreign Minister An thony Eden, will be given a review of decisions as they affect Anglo American foreign policy.
