SOMEWHERE IN SICILY (By Wireless).—Our

JE few days aboard ship after the Sicilian landings

were broken by many things besides air raids. A few wounded soldiers were brought frcm shore for our doctors to treat before the hospital ships arrived. Important generals came to confer on our ships. We had fresh tomatoes and watermelon at the same meal. We took little trips up and down the coast. Repair parties back from the beaches brought souvenir Fascist banners, and stories of how poor the Sicilians were and how glad they were that the war was over for them. The weather remained divine. Our waters and beaches were forever changing. I think it was at daylight on the third morning when we awoke to find the Mediterranean absolutely devoid of ships, except for scattered naval vessels. The vast convoy that brought us over had unloaded to the last one and slipped out during night. For a few hours the water was empty, the shore seemed lifeless, and all the airplanes had disappeared. You couldn't believe that we were really at war. . Luloading Was a Saga AND THEN after lunch you looked out again and here the sea was veritably crawling with new ships— hundreds of them, big and little. Every one of them

The schedule had all heen worked out ahead of time: On D Day Plus 3 S¥-h-and-Such Division would arrive. A few hours later another convoy bringing tanks was due. Ships unicaded and started right back for new loads. The whole thing went so fast that in at least one

instance T know of the army couldn't pour its men and equipment into the African embarkation ports as fast as the returning ships arrived. Unloading these ceaseless convoys in Sicily was a saga. The navy sent salvage parties of seabees ashore

right behind the assault troops and began reclaiming |

harbors and fixing up beaches ior unloading. The army worked so smoothly that material never piled up on the beaches but got immediately on its way to the front. We have stevedoring regiments here made up of New York professional stevedores. We have naval captains who in civil life ran world-wide ship-salvag-ing concerns and made enormous salaries.

Power of Production

WE RUN some ships up to the beaches, we unloaded others at ports, we empty big freighters by lightening their cargoes to shore in hundreds of assault barges and amphibious trucks. Great ships loaded with tanks have been known to beach and unload in the fantastic time of half an hour. You walk gingerly on big steel pontoon piers, and you can’t tell a naval lieutenant commander in overalls from an army sergeant in a sun helmet. Sometimes it seems as if half the men of America must be here, all working madly together. And do you realize what it is? It is America’s long-awaited power of production finally rolling into the far places where it must be to end the war. It sounds trite when it is put into words, but if you could be here and see you would understand how the might of material can overwhelm everything before it. We saw it in the last last days of Tunisia. We are seeing it here. We can picture it in inklings of the enemy collapse that inevitably lies ahead. The peint is that we on the scene know for sure that vou can substitute machines for lives and that if we can plague and smother the enemy with an unbearable weight of machinery in these next few months, hundreds of thousands of our young men whose expectancy was small can some day walk again through their own front doors.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

+ EVERETT BERGEN, 2631 E. Northgate, is being

galled “Termite Bergen” by his friends. Several weeks ago he bought a load of wood which he placed in his basement. A few days later he discovered what looked like sawdust on the wood, and then saw some little insects he thought must be termites. It wouldn't do to have termites around, so, on a very hot day, he started burning the wood in the furnace. The house temperature got up to 107 and Everett had to carry the rest upstairs and outdoors. Now he’s planning to burn it in a neighborhood outdoor oven, thus killing the termites—if that's what they are— and at the same time providing fuel for a forthcoming neighborhcod picnic. . . . T. Sgt. Bill Steintilber arrived home Sunday from Camp Chaffee, Ark, and left yesterdey with Mrs. Steinhilber for Lake Maxinkuckee. He's awaiting a call for OCS (officer candidate school) training.

Dance for Uncle Sam

THE CATCHY TUNES played by the band on the monument steps Friday while the Jap sub was on display made it hard for the younger listeners to keep from breaking into a dance step. Betty Simms and Mary Alice Ahlering, Power & Light Co. secretries, noticed this, and it gave them a hig idea. Why nbt, they suggest, get an orchestra and have a dimeior -stamp-a-dance party. The circle could be roped oF and everyone have a fine time, including Uncle 8am. As to how the stamps would be sold—well, we don’t want to work out all the details or there'd be nothing left for the committees to do. . . . Billy Thompson, the bespectacled hockey player, has landed in Miami with the air forces, is living in a swanky hotel and sends greetings to all his friénds here. . . .

In Sicily

PALERMO, Sicily, (By Wireless, Delayed)—In a eouple of hours of wandering around the ghostlike fuins of Palermo’s harbor one gathers further con-

vincing evidence of the irresistible force of airpower when thrown in with determination and volume, For throughout the entire semicircle of the harbor there is complete destruction. Twisted hulls and sunken ships are scattered everywhere. Several ships were blown out of the water and left lying on the docks. In two places, at least, fairly large ships are lying thus in pairs, flat on their sides up on the piers as if some giant hand had scooped them up out of the water and dropped them there to.dry, like dead fish. The waterfront is lined with five and six-story houses, not one of which is habitable. Many are completely demolished. Others, for & space of three or four blocks back, will need to be completely rebuilt, because although the walls are still standing they have been wrenched and cracked beyond repair. One important point about this is that all the damage was done in the face of the most effective anti-aircraft defense in Sicily. The Germans had excellent flak defense. We lost planes, but they put the place out of business.

Docks Were Deserted

NOT A SOUL was on the empty docks except a eouple of American guards at the gates, and two old men sitting in the shade of a shattered building looking out blankly at the devastation. We heard oc= easional rifle fire, as if snipers were busy, although never had any other evidence of Such activity or ¥ a hostile attitude. Otherwise there was only eathly silence. The Italians had left the place apparently less than 24 hours before we got there. We found the gieeping rolls of Ttalian guards at one point on the

pEW YORK CITY, Monday, Aug. 2.—I haven't talked to you this year about the riot of purple colar ‘Which always rejoices my soul every summer as it VYiooms around our pond and is reflected in the water. We call this weed loose-strife, and it is jovelier in the mass like this than anything one could plant, My friend, Miss Cook, who has great taste with flowers, has planted masses of red and white phiox, which reflect in the water around her pond, a bit of water which is far clearer than the water we see from our porch. Every time I walk by the spot it seems to me a breathtaking hit of beauty, but not as beautiful as : the riot and abundance of our : purple weed. It is not quite as brilliant this year.

Around the Town

FOLKS LIVING around W. 28th and Riverside report hundreds of chattering birds congregating on utility wires in the area the last several days. The birds—an informant thought they must be purple martens—make the wires sag for a block. The neighbors have been trying to figure out why the birds are congregating now.

the spot for one of the nation’s fifteen pre - flight schools. Accordingly, on Jan. 6, - 1943, this school was inaugurated. Results have proved that the navy placed its bets safely, because every DePauw facility the navy has utilized has been

of the highest caliber.

In contrast to the navy’s V-12 program, which also has a unit at DePauw, the naval flight preparatory school (V-1) is under strict naval regulations. The 800 graduates of the school here have gone to their next training stage thoroughly militant. To see these future pilots of the navy march across the campus, to see them bearing down at night on their studies leaves you with one conviction—their grimness to get on with this business of war-winning. The flight preparatory course is 12 weeks. Navigation, aircraft recognition, radio communications, mathematics, physics, aerology, aircraft engineering and physical education — these are fields of

New J4-Leaf Champ

MRS. CLYDE S. WATERS, 1234 S. Chester st, thinks that if there is a four-leaf clover champion in town, surely she is it. Last year she collected 68 four-leafers and 12 five-leafers. Since June 15 this year she has garnered 76 four-leafers, eight five-leaf-ers. She read the item about Mrs. Dick James a couple of weeks ago and while taking the paper over to show it to a neighbor, dropped it. As she picked it up, she found a plant with three four and five-leaf clovers, all from the same root. Incidentally, Mrs. Waters says: “Never look for four-leaf clovers. To have luck, just happen upon them, and wish.” Last summer she accidentally found one that measured exactly three and three-quarter inches across.

docks, as if they had been left in a hurry during the night. Several army blouses were piled carelessly beside the filthy mattresses, as though the soldiers had fled without taking time to dress. There was no accumulation of dust on them, as obviously they had been left there only a few heurs before. Several canteens and bottles were lying around, a dozen or so hand grenades, and a few clips of bullets. We walked through empty shipyards with partly built ships on two of the ways. I say empty yards, but the yards were empty only of workmen. There were tools, stacks of plates and piles of steel shapes in place as if for the next day’s work. One crane and a flatcar of plates were standing on tracks in the yards. The whole place appeared as if the workmen had suddenly dropped their tools and left. But there was heavy rust over everything, so it could not have been recent.

Men Refused to Work

WE WALKED carefully in the silence of this ghostly place, always fearing booby traps or snipers. Finally we spotted two men peering out of the doorway of a building. We stopped, and they came out, obviously friendly. One proved to be the chief of the harbor workers’ union, and the other a night watchman. They were living in the place. We gave them cigarets. They said the shipyards stopped working last March because the men refused wo sway under the bombing. The harbor has been little used since the middle of March, they said. No wonder. At least 150,000 people have fled from Palermo, which has a normal population of 400,000. No wonder the Italians welcomed the Americans with cheers, tossing lemons and even watermelons—one of which hit a correspondent and exploded like a pomb. The people of Palermo have everything to gain by the American occupation, which has ended the terrifying bombing. An ironic footnote is that at all street openings coming into the harbor area were new stone barriers with firing slits so that Palermo could be better defended against attack from the sea.

SOVIET NEARS CRITICAL TIMES

‘A Key to Future Foreign

Relations Is Seen in

Italian Peace.

By DAVID M. NICHOL

MOSCOW, Aug. 3.— The Soviet union's relationships with other united nations approach one of the most delicate periods in their entire history, as the possibility comes up of surrender or peace with one of the major belligerents.

The manner in which the Italian situation is handled will be a most important key to the future. Soviet newspapers yesterday printed extensive quotations from President Roosevelt’s speech on Wednes= day. Because of time differences they could not have been printed earlier. With Satisfaction

The speech must have been received with satisfaction, since it guarantees that no change is contemplated in the united nations policy, that unconditional surrender Yemains as a basic term and that Berlin and Tokyo are ultimate goals toward which we are progressing. A minimum of Russian comment, however, accompanied reports of events in Italy. Outside of brief items from Geneva, New York and London the only reference was an article in the communist organ, Pravda, on the “End of. Caesar's Carnival,” which points out again the Soviet position that Mussolini's elimination does not mean the end of Fascism, and states that the chief task still is a joint blow against the axis mainspring, in Berlin. “History will forget Mussolini,” the article concludes. “His memorial will be a poplar tree with the hangman’s noose.”

During the one hour and twenty minutes of physical conditioning each day certain achievements are necessary before advancement to the next training stage. But the life of the cadets is not all work. Though the men have not been allowed to participate in inter - collegiate athletics, they have formed their own teams. Under Lt.

Army Takes Soldiers Who Have Earned a

Rest to See

By LT. COL. KARL A. DETZER Written for The Times

JERUSALEM, Aug. 3.—An ancient bus, overloaded with American soldiers on furlough, rolled up the long hill on the road to Jericho where ‘a Certain Man” once was walking when he fell among thieves. These were quiet soldiers. Their eyes had looked on holy places; their feet had trod on sacred ground. A farm boy from Nebraska, fresh out of the hospital after having caught a machine gun slug at Kassarine, was sitting beside an Irish lad from Brooklyn. Together they had seen the little town of Bethlehem, and the Brooklyn boy had pointed out the shepherds tending’ their flocks in the fields. Together they had crossed the River Jordan, and had stood on the shores of the great Dead sea. “I wish my mother could see this,” the Nebraska soldier said.

Visit Gesthemene

“I wish to hell that Father Kelly from All Saints was with us,” the Brooklyn man replied. “He'd get a boot out of it, Father Kelly would.” The bus grumbled to a halt and 40 young Americans climbed out. A stout little brown man, on loan from the Hebrew university as a guide, took his place at the head of a ragged column and led the way up a little hill and through an iron gate. One by one the Americans took off their caps as they stepped into a small, ancient garden. “We are standing in the Garden of Gesthemene,” the guide began, speaking slowly. The boy from Brooklyn started to make the sign of the Cross. “Here under these same olive trees—they are 2000 years old, these trees, and will never die—here Jesus Christ spoke to Peter. . . .” Soldiers Awed

From the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, from 29 colleges and universities in the nation, 413 men reported at DePauw on July 12, 19043, and formed the naval V-12 detachment. This school is one of five in the state, other units having been established at Wabash, Indiana State, Purdue and Notre Dame. Out moved DePauw co-eds from their spacious Lucy and Rector Halls.

Plan Produces Workers

Following a general course will be about 333 students, with the 1est of the 413 studying medicine. They may receive six semesters training and complete requirements for college degrees. Or they may be called to active duty at any time. Men who keep theme selves in good standing, though,

normally are allowed to complete

at least three semesters.

Military procedures in the V-12 plan is kept at a minimum. Only military drills in physical education and marching to and from mess are disciplined, though reveille and lights are “general orders” strictly enforced. The V-12 unit is headed by Lt. Cmdr. William Bryce Dortch. His ekecutive officer is Lt. J. Marshall Hanna. A plan believed to be one of the first of its kind in the nation was conceived shortly after war was declared and is now in full operation. To meet threatened labor shortages in the community, Willard Umbreit, secretary of admissions, organized DePauw's civilian manpower to help anyone in the area who was short of hands. Farm laborers, clerks, secretarial assistants and many other types of helpers were delivered by this organization. The male students pledged certain hours—no more than five a week — when they would work if called. The successful functioning of this plan has been a boon to the community. ” n ”

miliar phrases. There was awe in the men’s eyes. Twenty minutes later they all were in the bus again, and soon they stood outside an ancient tomb and heard a British caretaker repeat the story about the stone that had been rolled away, and they ducked their heads in the low doorway to the tomb. “And the Lady, Mary, came and stood here . just where you stand, corporal, and she saw the funeral garments here, rolled up together . . . you can read it in St. John, . .'.” Again they went on. They climbed to the top of the Tower of David and heard the story of the Romans’ onslaught; they paused on the Mount of Olives for a look at the old city, behind its ancient, towering wall; they felt their way down the worn steps of an old synagogue; they listened to the lamentations of the Jews before the Wailing Wall. Then in the evening, after sunset, they found their way to a little restaurant outside the city, where a phonograph played dance records of Glen Miller and Harry James. Pretty girls, carefully chosen by the committee of the Jewish Servjce club, danced with them. Each day from one to six busloads of soldiers make the tour of the Holy City as part of the recreational program of special services of the army service forces. Working with the American Red Oross, the army sends convalescents from the hospitals, or men who deserve special furloughs for duty well done, to an army service forces rest camp near Tel-Aviv, on the Palestine coast. There they receive free beds and free meals, and for a few dollars, to cover the expense, the trip to

There are dances on an open-air floor, moonlight parties on the beach, wiener roasts. Special service division of army service forces plans to set up other rest camps and to conduct other tours in conjunction with the Amerfcan Red Cross to other historical spots in the Middle East, The army knows that between battles a soldier should not be idle; his morale must be kept up by entertainment.

A former Indianapolis man, Harold Caminez, who helped design the original Allison engine, was among the victims in the transport plane crash near Trammell, Ky. last Wednesday night, it has been learned.

Mr. Caminez has been with Lycoming Motors, at Willlampsport, Pa., the last year or so. Ronald M. Hazen, present chief engineer, recalls that Mr. Caminez went with Allison back in its pioneer days, back when the company had just one small building and a test

Serving as project engineer, he and N. I. Gilman, then general manager, worked out the basic design of the present Allison engine. Mr. Caminez left Allison in March, 1036, shortly after the army had accepted a couple of Allison models, After leaving here, he developed a new type thread very useful for work in aluminum and magnesium, and he formed the Aero Thread Co. Mr. Caminez is survived by his wife. Services will be held at 10 a. m. tomorrow at Fairchild Sons, Inc, Mortuary, 86 Lefferts ave, Brooklyn. .

URGES SALVAGE OF BLOOD CELLS

Red Corpuscles Discarded In Making Plasma Can Be Useful.

By Science Service CHICAGO, Aug. 3.— During the present conflict, when so much blood is being donated for the prep= aration of plasma, greater use should be made of the red cells that are now discarded, Dr. Howard L. Alt of the Northwestern University Medical school explained here today in Science Service's adventures in science program over the Columbia broadcasting system. “The patient with anemia really only needs the red cells, while the patient with shock needs plasma,” Dr. Alt pointed out. Whole blood consists of a strawcoléred nortion, the plasma, and blood cells. Red blood cells, Dr. Alt said, make up slightly less than half of the volume of the whole blood. In the preparation of plasma, which has proven so successful in the treatment of shock both.on the battlefront and at home, red cells have been separated in a centrifuge and thrown away. : Plasma can be kept for long peri ods, whereas the remaining cells, suspended in a small amount of residual plasma, must be used within three to five days after being drawn from the donor. In the case of anemia, whole blood transfusions are usually given, but it is the red blood cells that are really needed, as the patient does not have enough of his own. In the last two years in England, and more recently in our own country, transfusions of concentrated red cell sus pensions has been found as effece tive as whole blood in raising the red cell level in patients with ane mia. Reactions to the transfusions, such as fever and chills, are less common, Dr. Alt has found, than when the whole blood ‘is used.
