Flying Fortresses attacking sSulmona, an important railroad point ‘where -east-west and north-south lines join near Rome, ran into 24 enemy fighters, “four of which were shot down, while heavily plastering the railroad yards. One big explosion was set off in a repair shop and t least three fires kindled. The Fortresses needed only 12 minutes to make their attack, touching off a string of fire in station buildings fringing the railroad. One loaded train was believed to have been hit. Wellingtons using four-ton block= busters wound up the series of raids last night with an attack on Salerno, 30 miles north of Naples on the coastal railroad line, and crew members reported a heavy © concentration of bombs tore up ~ storage and switch yards. ‘Medium and light bombers ringed the toe of the Italian boot with ‘attacks, hitting at the communications center of Catanzaro, Sibari, on the east coast and Cetraro and Paolo, on the west coast. A-36 Invader pilots said they believed the rail and highway junc‘tion at Sibari probably was de‘stroyed. A ‘landing barge was destroyed near Diamte on the west coast.

Latest job is being done on tomatoes—and this racket threatens to deprive armed forces of necessary canned goods, army Supply officers say. It’s done like this: Contracted tomatoes are sneaked from the fields to a non-con-tracted factory at high bootleg prices. There they are turned into tomato juice, catsup, chili sauce and other by-products which can be sold to civilians at a better profit than the army provides for canned tomatoes. Look for a crackdown on this phase of it, at least,

Willkie on ‘Front Porch’ .

SPEAKING OF POLITICS: Wendell L. Willkie has been conducting a “front porch” campaign at Rushville to win hostile Hoosier Republicans to his side for 1944. This week he declined to attend a Republican state committee meeting in Indianapolis, but had some of the G. O. P. state Jeadiers come see him afterward with a pledge of no ‘publicity. ' Word leaks out that \ hat he had to say was intended to convince pre-war isolationists that he has no such views.on a post-war world . as those expressed by Vice President Wallace; that America comes first in all his thinking. Note: Old diehard Jim Watson, former Republican senator from Indiana, predicts Willkie will get only three delegates from the state. SENATOR TAFT'S reaffirmation of presidential support for his fellow Ohioan, Governor Bricker, was prompted by suspicion in the Bricker camp that the senator's friends have inspired a movement for his own nomination. Situation is a ticklish one for Taft, who, along with Bricker, will attend G. O. P. post-war conference at Mackinac island. If Taft takes active hand in shaping policies, as he is expected to do, Bricker backers will be even more suspicious. : ® & ® ® 8 =» RUBBER BOSS JEFFERS, concerned over the outlook for tires has summoned management and labor officials for a conference here next week to find out how production can be pepped up.’ # 8 = 2 8 =

STATE DEPARTMENT “confusion” is blamed in some congressional quarters for delaying showdown on repeal of the Chinese exclusion laws. Congressmen say some state department officials favor repeal, with apparent enthusiasm, but refuse to go to bat publicly. They're said to fear consequences of a big fight. Advocates of repeal say elimination of this slap at the Chinese will be extremely helpful in combating: Jap propaganda, will tie us closer to the united nation that’s been fighting the Fascists longest.

available supply for the rest of the year is made up of synthetics. We must also keep in mind that the 4,000,000 tires collected from motorists last year and which already have been given out are probably for the most part pretty poor stuff. Motorists who had to give up extra tires did not hand in their best ones. “And to be entirely on the safe side I think we might as well do a little looking ahead to 1944. We are going pretty much synthetic next year. Mr. Jeffers said the other day that 30,000,000 synthetic tires will be manufactured and distributed next year. Our supply of all kinds of tires except synthetics is becoming rapidly exhausted. And this synthetic world we are moving into is one of mystery. We do not know as yet whether the synthetic tires will hold up even at 3C miles per hour or how long they will last. My very sincere hope is that they will prove most durable. But as yet they are unproved. And it seems to me that in any case of uncertainty great caution should be exercised. “Usual telephone service is necessarily out for the duration.

Mrs. Brown, who came after her son yesterday, had notified Marion police. Police and the Grant county rescue squad were the Mississinewa river at Mation, believing that perhaps the boy had drowned. The river dragging had been in process about 10 hours when the overjoyous mother heard her son was here.
