 Liquor Law Out

An amendment to the city ordinance, prohibiting sale of liquor after 6 pm on Sundays, was repealed by the city council Monday night.
 The amendment was originally added in June, 1941, at the re quest of naval officials because of the number of man hours lost on Mondays by base workers.
 It was pointed out at the council meeting that liquor stores and bars now closed voluntarily on Sundays anyway, and that the only ones affected were restaurants with liquor licenses. The latter have been selling beer and wines after 6 on Sundays as the amendment has not been enforced.

I think the same thing is in this

would not draw an arbitrary line.
I saw two or three youngsters the
other day trying to play baseball.
Our soldiers were so frightened Of
hurting them that they would pick
them up and were as CAREFUL AZ
they would have been of their own.
The soldiers carried them of to the

Submarine Mines
Closed East Coast
Ports, Navy Reveals
Ry Nc Associated Press.

Mines planted by German sub
marines outside principal East
Coast ports took such a heavy toll
in shipping in 1912 and l943 the
ports were forced to close for days
at time.
The Navy related yesterday that
the ports. including New York's,
had to be closed to ocean traffic
while mines were cleared from har-
Dor channels.
Other ports similarly bottled up
for brief periods included Norfolk
and Newport News, Va; Baltimore,
Jacksonville, Fla; Charleston, S. c.,
and Wilmington. Del.
In addition, the Navy disclosed
10 enemy mines were swept from
waters at the entrance to the Pan
anna Canal in the vicinity of Colon,
and four swept off Port Castries,
Santa Lucia, British West Indies,
b Chesapeake Bay Entrance Closed.
p The entrance to Chesapeake Bay
twice was closed. once from June l6
to II, 1912. and again from Sep
tember IL to IA, 1912. Just before
the first closing four vessels had
been damaged or sunk by mines
believed to have been placed by
U-boats.
The New York port was closed
from November l3 to IS. 1912, with
'-lortrafflc moving in or out. During
those days and for a week later
minesweeper patrols cleared away
five mines from the harbor entrance.
The destroyer Bainbridge, while
making depth charge attack
against A submarine outside the
Virginia Capes June Il, 1912, was
damaged by a heavy explosion
astern. 1t was believed one of her
depth charges detonated a mine.

The next day three merchant
vessels were mined in the same area.
Two of them. the tanker Robert c..
Tuttle and the Kingston-Ceylonite,
were sunk. The third, the tanker
ESQ Augusta. was damaged.
The day Chesapeake Bay traffic
was reopened, June IT. 1912, the
medium sized United States mer-
chant ship Santore was mined In
the same area and sank.
Four enemy mines were swept out

And they were all mental-worry-

The supreme commander revaled
yesterday they came on the eve Of
his first operations, the invasion Of
North Africa November 7, 1912.
In contrast to some 900 reporters
who covered supreme headquarters
two years later, there we're only four

Gen. Eisenhower set up his first field

Britain's strength, I was one. Of
the four correspondents.
This was Gen. Eisenhower's first
military venture.
Uncertain on French Stand.
The Allies were first trying their
military might together, a shoestring
operation compared with the vast
tide of men and materials that
struck the final blow at Europe.
1t was complicated by the fact
that the Allies were uncertain
whether the French would put ON
full-f1edged resistance in Africa, or
join the Allied side.
At the time no one knew whether
Spain would join the Germans and
make shambles of the rock and
the hundreds of aircraft on GibraI-
ter that were the key to the opera
ton. The planes were packed wing
to wing on tiny airstrip a hundred
yards from the Spanish border. One
machine gun could have wiped out
the Allied air cover for the whols
operation.
The Mediterranean was full Of
German and Italian submarines and
big conveys were pouring through
the Strait of Gibraltar into the
Mediterranean, which might well
have proved a death trap.
The weather was none too good.
Communications Terrible.
And worst of all, as Gen. Eisen-
hover said yesterday, communica-
tions were terrible and the Allied
command in Gibraltar could not find
out what was going on as the clock
sped toward H-hour, and even after
ward.
Deep in the rock, Gen. Eisen-
hover worked sleepless through the
night in a tiny Office about 9 feet
square. Some t empera en- tai
Frenchmen added nothing to Gen.
