 The British crewmen reported a chain of fires was blazing just be- hind the battle area, some of which were started Wednesday night.
 Their targets and transport fa- cilities were alight, and we could see guns blazing and flashes through the haze and cloud" the air minis try said. Westward of the Cher bourg peninsula we could see bright flashes from the sea, where ships appeared to be bombarding the coast"
 The RAF bomberS flew through two cloud layers, one very thick at 5000 feet and a lighter one below. Crewmen said the bombing at the Fougheres rail yards was so con- centrated that the pathfinder mark CTS were blown up as fast as they could be laid.
 At the same time the speedy Mosquitoes ranged the transport lines behind the battlefront, shoot ing up trains and bombing rail sta- tions. roads, bridges. and encamp- mentS.
 Today's bad weather gave some respite to airmen who have been on the job almost constantly since H hour, Some of them had been in the air 20 of 24 hours. Altogether they flew an estimated 5000 sorties yesterday.

 On the Adriatic coastal sector, the communique said that Allied troops occupied the German stronghold of Tollo after a three-mile advance toward the Prescara river.

 The new premier told the United Press in an exclusive interview that he hoped to have his government formed by tomorrow noon.

 Bonomi promised thorough-go- ing purge of all~ pro- Fascist ele- ments from public offlce and re- vealed that Count Carlo SforZa, Benedetto Croce, and the Commun- ist leader Palmiro Tagliatti have &C., cepted his invitation to enter the cabinet.
 Bonomi was president of the Rome Committee of National Liber- ation, which directed underground resistance during the German oc- cupation of the Italian capital. He previously had been premier of Italy from July, 1921. to February, 1922, and also had served in the preced- ing Giolitti cabinet as war minister.
 When Mussolini came into power g years ago, Bonomi retired from politics and carried on his profess sion as a lawyer.
 He emerged as dark horse at last nights meeting to decide on the se- lection of a new premier. since Benedetto Croce and Count Carlo Sforza, the latter foreign minister in the Giolitti cabinet, had .been considered the most likely choices. However, Bonomi was better known in Rome than either Croce or Sforza.
 Badoglio previously had hinted he might retire as premier once Rome was liberated. He had beer unpopular in some underground cir cles because of his close associa. ton with Fascist-tainted King Vic tor Emmanuel and his cooperation albeit reluctant with the Mussolini regime in military campaigns in Africa and Albania.
 Emmanuel appointed Badoglio premier following the coup d'etat which busted Benito Mussolini last July. Badoglio, Emmanuel and Humbert fled Rome even as Ger man occupation troops were enter ing the city Sept. 9. the day after the surrender took effect, and have remained in Allied-occupied terri. tory since.
 Following his appointment, Bo- nomi immediately began discus. sions for forming a new govern Inent and hoped to complete the cabinet today. It was understood that the new premier was anxious to retain 6forza. Croee, 0uilio Ro- dino and Palmiro Tagliath lErcolD, all of whom served without port. folios in the Badoglio government
 Among the new political leaders mentioned as likely to be included in the cabinet were Mencclo Ruini, a radical deputy in the pFe-Musso- linl era, and Emilio Lussu, . com. paratlve unknown.

That would not greatly disturb Far ley. He was licked in i940, too. when he was against a third term and permitted his name to be placed in nomination in an effort to show the extent of anti Roosevelt strength.
 Farley remained as chairman of the Democratic national committee and as postmaster general through the i040 convention. Soon afterward he surrendered both offices, letting the chairmanship go first so that the president could have someone of his choice to conduct the campaign. Since then Farley's political connec- ton has been the chairmanship of the New York State Democratic or- ganizatton.

But greedy gangs who stuff their pockets find it simple to shake down legislators for an ocean of gravy.
 When this reporter offered evi- dence proving that the Argentine government was in Hitler's corner, many editorialists pooh-poohed the charges and brought back the stale chestnut that "Winchell IS unduly alarmed" {. Now our Government has forced the Argentinazis to break relations with their chums in Ger many and Japan by threatening to make public evidence of their in- fanny. The Argentine government became anti-Nazi only to save their skins. They don't hate Hitler; they just love power Now all the editorialistS who rebuked this re- porter on that story-have joined in praising our diplomats for putt ting the heat on Argentina and putting their Nazi leaders in their place.
 A group named Peace Now has been urging that we coddle Japs. They wink at the Japs and throw punches at America-and howl how much they adore peace But no editorialist mentioned these ugly contrasts: Peace Now is supported by isolationist legislators and news papers The same day the Jap atrocity story was made public. Arr thur Clifford Read was found guilty of not registering as Jap agent. He once gave lectures over here claiming the stories of Jap atroci- ties were lies. His punishment was slap on the wrist. He goes to the hoosegow for 2la years. Tn a short time he will be free again .I But Americans who fought Japs will stay dead forever.

ODD CONCLUSION
An odd circumstance In the

adults between the ages of 10
and 81 and those from % to 80
years of age. In the younger
group, the men admit to an av-
erage of only two definite food
dislikes, while the women dis
approve of 3.l5 items. At their
age, they are presumed to be
unmarried and accustomed to
the diet of their parental homes.
But in the nine eligible" years
that follow. there is decided
turnabout in the avowal Of ia
boos by the sexes. 1t may be
that as neophytes in the kitchen.
the young ladies are confident
in what they cook, for their own
food dislikes drop to mere
202. Meanwhile. however, their
mates food dislikes skyrocket
to 4.47!
Both sexes settle down after
the age Of 81 to the point where
their dissatisfaction with certain
foods becomes negligible. New
ertheless, the taboo averages for
male adults of all ages combined
is 2.89 against 1.3l for the fe-
males, the latter out-tabooing
