Last night's blackout got off on the wrong foot in the first place,
officials said, because firemen and some factories “jumped the gun” in certain neighborhoods by sounding Whistles and sirens “30 minutes before the first audible signal was to be released.” They were at a
loss to explain this mix-up in what |

Because of this premature warning in some districts, Harry Yockey, city OCD director, declared timing was thrown off, with the result that some residents naturally misinterpreted subsequent signals, some of them “finishing” the test ahead of others. = = = There were three casualties: Eva Downing, 18; Ruby McBride, 25, and Helen Cox, 28, all of 1229 Oliver ave, were injured when struck with rocks as they stood in front of a restaurant at 1227 Oliver ave.

Palazzolo Now Heaps of Rubble
PALAZZOLO, Sicily, July 13 (Delayed) (U. P.) —This town is a wrecked symbol of what happens when the Italians try to stop the allied drive into Sicily. Piles of rubble fill its narrow streets. Stunned people wander about the ruins, mumbling. When the town fell, the defenders ran out of the crumbling buildings waving every white fag they | could find from handkerchiefs to | bed sheets. Most of the Sicilian country- | side doesn't show the scars of | war. Behind the lines grinning Sicilians shyly make the V-sign | to British troops, but here it is | different. This was a resistance point. Until yesterday it was the front. A flood-tide of aerial bombing power hit it. Today the front is 10 miles northwest of here,
