It Is a vital communications center of about 28.000 population. Nearby is Port Empedocle. which has been blasted at le«st once by American warships. The conquest of Klclly is far from complete, hut acting secretary of war Patterson said today in Washnigton that Its success Is assured. Patterson cautions that the opposition probably will Im even stronger when tbe Allies reach Sicily's northern defenses. He estimates that Axis troops on the island number upward of 30U.000 men — including about 60.000 battle-hardened German*. A German new* agency dispatch snys Allied reinforcements still are streaming ashore In the Catania sone. And the Naxls admit the landing of paratroops In the area. The Naxls tacitly confirm the alr-l*orne troops still are holding out by reporting they “are being annihilated" But remember. that's an enemy claim The Allies now control about one-eighth of Sicily. It In believed they have driven the enemy out of all of the southeastern plateau, and now have fTFm control of that region. The number of prisoners taken by ihe Allied armies has risen to 12.FM1. And two thirds of th»m already have been transferred to catnps outside Sicily. Eight thousand of the prioonem were taken by Americans. And some of them were Germans of the famous Hermann Goering division, who gave up after the American* had smashed a number of their big tiger tanks near Gela. Yesterday's Allied air assault on Messina has just about kniuk ed out that big ferry terminal, only two miles away from the Italian mainalnd. Two hundred bombers of all sorts from the northwest African air force task after Messina in waves. And 70 liberator* from the near east command joined in the bashing of the city A group of night raider* took over after dark, just to top thing* off. The liberator* also shot over the Messina strait* to |w>und San Giovanni on the mainland end of the ferry from Italy to Sicily. Other planes hit at enemy positions all over Hlclly Allied flier* also renewed their vigil of the water* north of Sicily,
