ALLIES IN ADVANCE ON
 ITALY FRONT
Yards Are Gained in Of. fensive Drive Against
 Enemy Defenses

ROME, April IT - Fifth Army troops fought through bitterly de- tended and heavily-mined areas south of Bologna, measuring their advance by yards in the second day of the general Allied offensive drive against the Germans in Italy.
 Toward the west coast, It. Gen. Lucia Truscott's men gained 1000 to 2.500 yards, but on his army's right flank advances were limited by interlacing enemy defenses and closely-coordinated enemy small arms and mortar fire.
 However, Truscott, declaring that this army is fit and ready to fight" said such resistance was expected, because the Germans are still estimated to have 25 divisions. 9
 The Eighth Army. which was already driving up the Pc Valley in it's phase of the offensive before the Fifth Army jumped to the attack yesterday, has now taken a total of 5000 prisoners since the beginning of its advance. April g.
 The Gurkha Brigade of the Eighth Army consolidated it's bridgehead over the Silaro River, southwest of Massa, and drove for ward rapidly 1000 yards, entering Cartlira. about 12k miles east of Bologna. e

 The veteran U s. Thirty Fourth Division marked it's 500th day of combat by capturing church in Gorgognana, after fierce hand-to- hand fighting developed when the Americans advanced over ground well sown with mines.

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col Robert s. Allen nov on active service with the Army.N


 WASHINGTON-It happened be- hind closed doors, but lot of house. wives would have relished being present when Congressman Clinton Anderson's special food committee quizzed an array of Washington big-wigs.
 A lot of star witnesses were present, but the Army. represented by Maj Gen. Carl Hardigg of the Quartermaster Corps, chiefly took it on the chin.
 War Food Chief Marvin Jones started the ball rolling when he produced figures showing that last year, when meat was plentiful, the Army gummed up the works by failing to take anywhere near the quantity allocated to it. In the fourth quarter of 1924, the Army had asked for one and a quarter billion pounds of meat. Actually, the Army took half billion pounds less.
 That. accordinng to the closed door testimony, was the chief reason why ration points on meat were dropped last year and the housewives got windfall. The public then got back to the habit of eating meat. But today, with meat far less plentiful. the Army has ordered even more than allo- cated to it last year.
 Gen. Hardigg was unable to sat- isfy the Congressmen as to why the Army failed to take up its meat last year, or at least failed to put 1t in cold storage for later use. Had this been done. Army demands would now be much smaller. -dep yvfkardigg also~ was asked to report back to Congress on meat consumption per soldier in the British Army, also in the Rus sian Army. Congressman also asked Hardigg to report on how much meat was consumed by U. s. troops overseas, as compared with that consumed by troops in the United States.
 RELAXED MEAT INSPECTION
 One proposal to ease the meat shortage is to abolish federal in- spection in small local slaughter houses. These slaughterers have to pass state inspection anyway, and most of them are thoroughly repu- table. But to sell interstate they must pass federal inspection, so many now sell only within state limits. This < is one reason why cattle-raising states are experienc- ing no meat shortage today
 Gen. Hardigg, however, sat on the idea of relaxing federal in- spection. He argued that federal inspection must continue. War Food Chief Jones and War Mobi- lizer Vinson were not impressed with Hardigg's argument.
 T never tasted federally in- spected meat until I was in my twenties." scoffed Texas-bred Jones.
 Out in Kentucky we did all right without federally inspected meat" Vinson agreed. T never saw it until I was out of my teens
 Representative Anderson of AL buquerque. New Mexico. chairman of the committee. then took Gen. Hardigg to task for the Army's system of poultry buying.
 Out my way, where we've got plenty of meat" Anderson said. "the Army isn't interested in buying poultry. Here in the East, where meat is scarce, you're taking all the poultry. Why not spread your poul- try buying so that in areas where the public has hard time getting meat it can al least get a little poultry"
 He pointed out that the Army is taking 100 per cent of the poultry

CARDINALS NEAR
NATIONAL. LEADER

NEW YORK, June 5.-(P)-The
St. Louis Cardinals moved to with
in two and a half games of the
National League lead by defeating
the New York Giants rs today, as
Brooklyn bowed to Cincinnati.
A 'five-run uprising at the ex-
rense of young Jack Brewer and
reliver Ace Adams, in the seventh
inning gave the Cards the series
three games to one.
With one tally already in and
two Redbirds on the basepaths,
Adams took over for Brewer and
was greeted by run-scoring single
by Ray Sanders and a two-run
double by Ken O'Dea, former
Giant.
Four of the five Giant runs were
driven in by 19-year-old Carroll
(Whitey) Lockman, who made an
suspicious major league debut with
a two-run homer in his first time
at bat and followed with a double
in the fourth which tailed two
more. Lockman joined the Giants
earlier today, following his pur-
chase from Jersey City of the In
ternational league. .

Canadians Rioting
Because Of Delays

ALDERsHOT, Eng, July 5-R'-
Canadian soldiers rioted in the cen
ter of town again tonight for more
than two hours, repeating the tur'
bulent scenes of last night in which
officials estimated 500 participant
ed, despite the appeal OF one OF
their officers to return to their
barracks.
The soldiers, apparently resent.
ing delays in sending them home
ward, surged through streets break
ing windows and demonstrating
noisily.
The group entered one store
which sells beer and helped them"
selves.
An unidentified Canadian officer
addressed the crowd outside the
police station and urged the SOL
diers 10 return to their camp with
out further demonstrations. He as
sured the men they would be leav-
ing for home soon and announced
some future sailing dates.
The demonstration followed
similar outbreak last night when a
crowd of soldiers stampeded
through the downtown section.

COP MEMBER SEES
DELAY ON MEASURE

WASHINGTON, July 5. Ia A
Republican leader saw the posslbl-
lily today that Congress may post
pone final action on the Breton
Woods Monetary Agreements to
next fall, due to a Senate jam On
postwar international plans.
Senator Wherry (R-Neb)), Senate
Republican whip, said the admin
istration's plans for Senate con-
sideration CT the United Nations
Charter and the Breton Woods plan
are so closely calculated that amy
thing can harpen."
The Senate has cleared its decks
for Foreign relations committee
hearings on the Charter, beginning
Monday. Majority Leader Bark
lev (Ky) figures that will preoccupy
most Senators at least until the
following Monday, July 16, when ne
plans to bring up the Breton Woods
measure in hopes it can be finish
ed in week.
Under that tentative program
opening debate on the Charter
would come next.
81 think there is a definite pos
sibility debate on the Breton
Woods legislation won't be con-
Guided in the allotted week,
Wherry told e. reporter. There pro-
badly will be more debate than
there was in the House.
Wherry said he feels the admin
istration will bring the Charter to
the Senate floor on July %, alter
two weeks of committee hearings,
even if debate is still going full
blast on Breton Woods and that
LEGISLATION has to be pushed aside
temporarily.
In this event, Wherry said 1t
NAV be difficult-once the Charter
is ratified-to delay Congress va
cation plans any further.

Brooklyn ga today to cut the bod
gers first place margin to two

The Reds had nicked Davis for
single runs in the first and third,
thanks largely to pair OF singles
by Al Libke, and routed the vet
eran in the fifth in favor Of Leroy
Pfund. Steve Mesnar and Woody
Williams, each drove in a pair
of runs, the latter with a two
base hit.
The Dodgers didn't score until
the seventh when a pass to Ed
Stanky, Goody Rosen's h i r d
single and fly produced mark

in the ninth on another pass to
Stanky, doubles by Augie Galan
and Dixie Walker and 4 single
