GENERAL HEADQUARTERS
SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Aug.
3l-(P)-Allied airmen stalking
Japanese ships from the Kuriles
northeast of Nippon to the Dutch
East Indies have knocked out %
more vessels, 10 of them sunk.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
communique today listed nine
enemy craft destroyed, small
freighters, coastal vessels and
barges-the types which he has
said were the sole supply car
riers for many japanese East
Indies garrisons.
These and the 10 or more ships
damaged, including a 7000-ton
freighter- transport, were found
by bombers which ranged from
Mindanao Island, in the southern
Philippines, southwark to Cele-
bes, Ceram and Kai Islands, all
now within easy range of Allied
aircraft operating from newly
won bases in northwestern New
Guinea.
Halmahera, south of Minda-
mao, was given 1l3-ton bomb
drubbing Tuesday by heavy and
medium bombers. The attackers
met no interception as they con-
centrated on coastal defenses,
supply and barracks areas on
Wasile and Kaoe Bays. Five days
ago Allied planes hit this step
ping-stone to the Philippines
with 156 tons of explosives.
Adm. Chester w. Nimitz in
Pearl Harbor press release said
one enemy patrol vessel was de-
stroyed and another one, along
with tanker and a cargo ship,
damaged when Army and Navy
planes Sunday attacked Para
mushiro and vicinity, in the
Kuriles. Another Japanese pa
troll ship also was attacked, but
the results were not an
nounced.
Macarthur said the planes
which struck Ceram sank or Sc
verely damaged nine enemy
coastal vessels and divebombed
oil installations, gun positions
and bivouacs at Boela, on the
east coast.
Nimitz said that Army Liber-
ator bombers also hit an airfield
on Two Jima in the volcano is
lands, $50 miles south of Tokyo;
Pagan Island in the Marianas,
airfields on Moen Island in Truk
Atoll, where Japanese fighters
damaged one Liberator, and
Ponape Island in the eastern
CarolineS.
Navy planes meanwhile at
tackled Nauru Island, the phos-
phate center southeast of the
CarolineS, and continued neu-
tralization raids against remain
ing Japanese-held islands in the
Marshalls.

NAZI RADIO REPORTS
LANDINGS IN ITALY
CONTINUED from Page One)

The Germans apparently were
caught flat-footed by the bold in
vasion thrust of Lt.-Gen. Mark w..
Clark's Fifth Army.
Only last Tuesday, it was dis
closed, the Germans sped three
crack divisions from the Rome area
to the battlefront 80 miles south
east of the capital, leaving the
Rome neighborhood almost wholly
undefended.
Battlefront dispatches said the
troops landed with scarcely shot
fired, and secured immediate OBJ
jectives with virtually no opposi-
lion. --.l.
In touring the beach heads yes
terday General Clark went some
distance inland to see and talk
with field commanders.
A powerful offensive on the main
Fifth Army front battered forward
meanwhile, and Allied planes, out
numbered the enemy 13 to l, slash
ed at communications to break up
expected Nazi counterbloWs and to
protect the landing forces.
So far there was no indication
of what, if any, support Italian
guerrillas might be giving the as
sault army. Italians have said such
forces were organized in the Rome
area ready to engage in an open
campaign at the opportune NOM
emit
So great was the surprise of the
landings that the Germans so far
have been unable to switch their
plans to meet it, and at latest re-
ports their main efforts still were
concentrated on savage resistance
and counterattacks on the main
front some so miles southeast and
east of Nettuno (Cassino is almost
directly east of Nettuno) where
American, British, and French

troons pressed forward in terrific
fighting.
The seaborne invasion forces
struck directly inland toward the
vital Appian and Casilian ways
main communication lines from
Rome to the Germans on the Fifth
Army front to the southeast. The
Appian highway and main rail
line are only IL miles from the
coast, and the Casilian way is III
miles farther inland.
The German situation on that
front already is awkward and would
become extremely untenable ii
those highways are cut. The next
48 hours probably will determine
whether the Nazis will make des-
perate effort to beat back the flank
attack, or withdraw their forces
numbering possibly 100000 men
from the enormous pocket below
the landing area. .,.
On the bitter Fifth Army front,
American troops have enlarged
their bridgehead over the Rapido
river near Casino despite the
fiercest enemy opposition.
The Germans have machinegun
posts every rs to 100 yards on this
sector, supported by heavy artil-
lery concentrations. But the Am
erican drive progressed despite
whitening fire, with reinforcements
and supplies pouring across the
Rapido on small boats and bridges
built by engineers under fire Fri
day night.
British forces north of the Garig-
iano river also met tough opposi-
ton and repeated German counter
attacks in the Castelforte and
Minturno areas, but made some
gains.
The French in mountains north
of the American sector likewise
ran into heavy resistance, and
threw all their strength into beat
ing back counterthrusts. They also
advanced.

leaving the election machinery in

create half the confusion it would
to send the Lucas bobtailed bal
lots with no names at all on them"
Rankin remarked.
The soldier vote We'd with the
food subsidy question for priority
in the Senate, and Majority Lead
er Barley was uncertain which
would be first. There was POSSIBLE
ity that neither will be taken up
tomorrow, since under the exist
ing parliamentary situation any
Senator can force consideration of
a series of routine bills on the cal
endar. Further, Senator Guffey
D-Pa) has served notice he in
tends to make an hour-long speech
on lend-lease spending in Latin
America.
The administration wants a ST.
500, 100000 food subsidy program
and the Senate banking committee
has recommended passage of bill
barring virtually all food subsidies
after next June 30. Taft announc-
ed he would offer a compromise
on the floor, providing for pro-
ducers' subsidies in the range of
s600000,O00 to $1,000, 1000, 1000 with
no price rollba cks.
Senator Mcclellan DARK said
he hoped to attach a provision for
cling a rise of one cent a quart in
OPA milk ceilings.
The House may reach a final
vote tomorrow on a 81, $50. 900. 900
authorization for this country's
share of the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration
The soldier vote bill is next.
Two other important measures,
the S2,275, 100000 tax bill and the
mustering-out pay bill for veterans
are before conference committees.
Chief disagreement between the
House and Senate on the tar bill
centered on proposed amendments
to the war contracts renegotiation
law, although house members are
expected to insist on restoration
OF a provision migrating the vic
tory tax with the individual in
come tax. The Senate took it out
on the ground it would make the
tax forms more complicate.

days ago indicated they expected
it in the Gaeta Bay sector directly
behind the Tyrrhenian end of the
Nazis' winter line across Italy.
Berlin dispatches pointed out that
from the Nettuno flatlands the Al
lies will be able to operate for the
FIRST time out of mountainous areas
where difficult terrain has ham,
pered mechanical operations and
where the Germans were aided by
natural defense barriers.
Now the Allies will be able to
operate not only on flat country,
but they will have the advantage of
good highways, notably the Via

as double track railway to Rome.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE

"Truth' was the subject of the
lesson sermon in all Christian Sci
ence churches and societies on
Sunday, January %.
The Golden Text was from Deu-
teronomy 80: 8, 4. "Ascribe ye
greatness unto our God. He is the
Rock, his work is perfect; for all
his ways are judgment: a God of
truth and without iniquity, just
and right is he
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible: "Shew
me thy ways, o Lord; teach me
thy paths. Lead me in thy truth,
and teach me: for thou art the God
of my salvation; on thee do I
wait all the day" psalm Is: 4,
So
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures by Mary Baker. Eddy:
Truth is affirmative and confers
harmony. All metaphysical logic
is inspired by this simple rule of
Truth, which governs all reality.
BY the truthful arguments you
employ, and especially by the
spirit of Truth ana Love which you
entertain, you will heal the sick.
