As the troops are pouring ashore, the two leaders will be hammering Europe with short-wave radio advice to the people of Germany to get out of the war while the getting is good, while they can get cut with a minimum of civilian suffering. Before the real blow itself fis

Bracken meant that it would be foolish to expect the two leaders to give the enemy an accurate idea of what is coming next. Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill, however, were expected to do their part in the “war of nerves” by conclud_ing their talks here with a press conference that will bristle with " predictions of doom for the axis leaders and their followers responsible for plunging the world into war.

SQUABBLE OVER

City Works Board

Conference.

A near fist-fight flared today in the works board over the purchase of $8.75 worth of liquid soap. Council President Harmon Campbell and Democratic member Gideon Blain, balked vociferously at signing a voucher for the soap purchase, made from a firm in which City Hall Patronage Chairman Lee Emmelman has a finanicial interest. Mr. Emmelman has been sparkplugging a move to oust Mr. Campbell from the works’ board presidency, © Is Sick of Squabbles

“I'm sick of seeing -these petty political squabbles stymie more important board business,” declared Dr. Walter Hemphill, board vice president. “You've agreed to our policy on these small purchases.” At this, Mr. Blain leaped to his feet and with doubled fists stomped around to the side of the table where Dr. Hemphill was sitting. “I did no such thing,” he shouted. “I, for one, don’t think these purchases are being investigated enough.” Dr. Hemphill, rising half-way from his chair, retorted: '% “Our purchasing agent. in every case of purchases from this company has verified the validity of the price and the serviceability of the product.” Purchasing Agent Ed Hereth interjected: Denies Political Implications “I've been trying to obtain the good faith of this board in my buying ability, but apparently without success.” He explained that purchases under $100 do not require the taking of bids, but added that he has been requesting board approval of all bids, regardless of their value. After further hot-tempered ‘discussions in which Mr. Campbell and Mr. Blain denied that their protests had any political implications, Mr. Blain pointed accusingly at newspapermen, exclaiming: “You can say what you want to about me in the paper, but you have no right to publish board business such as this: Purchasing department officials said Mr. Campbell’s systematic objections to purchases from Mr. Emmelman’s chemical concern had previously held up the acquisition of $21 worth of priority listed buckets, which, they said, were not obtainable elsewhere, and $5.75 worth of supplies for.two comfort stations on Kentucky ave.

of southern Italy pointed to the possibility of imminent landings on the 1Ifalian mainland. Reports reaching Madrid from France said German troops evacuated from Sicily are being rushed northward to join perhaps 12 divisions in northern Italy. The extent of demolitions in Calabria and Apulia provinces indicated the Germans do not contemplate any serious resistance in southern Italy. London sources believed the main battle of Italy would be fought along a line stretching roughly between La Spezia, naval base 200 miles north of Rome, and Pesaro on the east coast, where the Germans would have. the advantage of a natural line across the Appenines backed by the northern seaports.

Hint Defense Along Po

The second defense line probably would be along the Po river running roughly between Turin and Ferrara, with the third and perhaps strongest line extending from the Italo- -German = frontier southeastward fo the mouth of the Piave river abave Venice. The London ily Mail reported from the Ital frontier that all evidence supported a belief that Premier Marshal Pietro Badoglio decided early Thursday to make peace with the allies. “Badoglio may and probably already has given the word to surrender,” the Daily Mail said, but added that the news may not be made known “for days.”
