Tenants Claim
Illegal Custer
from Residence

Squeezed out of the home
where they had been living for
three months, Bernice Wilson
and Ellen Hartshorne, 22-year-
old war workers, will seek a
warrant today charging John
Warren, new owner of the
house, with illegal eviction.
Warren, with his wife, his
brother-in-law and his wife,
and their two children, moved
into the four-room home at
85l5 Chapp avenue, Warren
township, yesterday, after War
rem served personal eviction
notice on the two women, whose
rent was paid up until April l.
The girls sought aid from the
OPA's rent division and were
informed that they had 80 days
to find a new home before they
could be compelled to move, but
Warren nevertheless fore d
them to vacate the premises,
maintaining that his own evic.
ton notice was enough, inves-
tigating sheriffs deputies said.
The new owner threatened to
bundle the women's belongings
off to storage, but we're restrain
ed by deputies from doing so.

Fifty-five motorists who were
tardy in obtaining their new "A

Clemens police, and will pay a
81 fine each, it was revealed to-
day.
Chief Arthur I. Rosso declar-
ed that police will keep a sharp
watch for autos whose license
plates were not renewed in time
for the March 1st deadline.
1--WE, mean business" RosSo
said. After today if we find a
car with old plates we'll tow it
away and impound it until new
tags are bought. Autoists have
been notified and warned far in
advance to meet the IA dead
line, SO there's no excuse for
still driving with old license
plates"
While other Macomb county
law enforcement departments
have not followed such a strict
policy, and their issuance of
tickets was low, car owners were
instructed that further delay in
securing tags would mean fines
and impoundment of their cars.

Casualty lists "this long" he
said,-stretching his arms full
length,-already are pouring in
to every state, adding that a di-
rect assault on Hitler's European
fortress is yet to come.
The kind Of fight the Germans
are putting up in Italy is indica-
tive of the ferocious battling that
may be expected when amphib-
ious operations - the hardest
and most dangerous kind of
fighting in the world"-are car
ried out against the mainland,
Knox declared.

American lives must be safe

"As in the question of the de-

Casino" Stimson told a press
conference, "the policy of the
War Department is definite and
clear: Every possible precaution
is to be taken against the de-
struction of cultural, historical

KEY TARGET
So far as is now know, the
Secretary said, there are no
large concentrations of German
troops in the city itself, but
Rome's rail lines and yards

cations center through which
most of the enemy forces pass

Rough and Tumble CovoIrymen
Spedrhedded Admiralty Attack
Describes
Invasion
BY OLIN CLEMENTS

THE ADMIRALTY ISLANDS,
Feb. 20 -(Delayed)-(R)- Big,
brawling cavalrymen, trained on
the rough and tumble Texas
border, stormed ashore on-hos
Negros Island in the Admiralty
group at BIS a. m. today and
one hour and a half later had
captured Momote Airfield.
Their brilliant move was &C
complished with negligible loss.
Known Japanese casualties in
the first few hours were 70 dead.
The dismounted cavalrymen,
components of the First Caval-
ry Division, went ashore in small
boats that weathered intense
fire from Japanese shore guns.
The first wave made it without
scratch, but the second and
third waves were caught in
heavy fire. One of them had to
turn back momentarily but fl
nally reached the island after a
Navy gunner had been killed.
NIPS MAPPING
The smooth landing caught
the Japanese completely by sur
prise. Our convoy, all Warships,
showed up off the island at
dawn. The sky was overcast.
The warships spread out along
the beach and began pouring
heavy shells into the Japanese
positions.
The japanese shore guns re-
piled. Shells churned up the
water around several of the de-
stroyers. One salvo came dan
gerously close to our destroyer,
flagship of the task force.
Forty minutes after the naval
Smelling began it ended with the
suddenness with which it be-
gan. Smoke poured from half
a dozen places on Los Negros
Island.
Then the fast little assault
boats put out from the destroy
ers which carried troops. The

The enemy threw two battali-
