Page Two TIMES-NEWS, TWIN FALLS, IDAHO Sunday, September 5, 1943 BRITISH ADVANCE IN ITALIAN DRIVE (From Page One) the enemy had not, yet employed tanks in defense the fortress Europe and that only 'a few axis planes were even sighted by the huge fleets of allied fighters and bombers ranging ahead of the ground troops. Ahead of Schedule Sholto Watt, a correspondent for the Canadian press, that Canadian forces were far ahead of schedule in their push inland, and that the British were "streaking ahead like a scalded cat." He said the Italian natives were smiling, greetings and throwing gifts waving. to the invading Canadians. There was, yet no report landing by the American seventh army--a fact that had the enemy obviously, worried. demolitions similar to those the Germans employed to delay allied forces in Sicily few weeks ago confronted the invading troops as they fanned out from the stretch of beach along which the first landings were made.

A German news agency report broadcast by axis sources reported that "yesterday afternoon three British freighters entered the harbor of Reggio Calabria and landed heavy war material, which obviously was for tank units engaged north of Reggio Calabria in heavy fighting with the German panzer gren- adiers." First Report of Tanks This was the only indication from any source that tanks had gone into action for either side or that heavy fighting had begun. The report was received here with skepticism. Reggio Calabria airfield, which can be used as a fighter plane base, was captured by the allied assault wave as it pushed rapidly inland from the beaches. General Montgomery was wasting no time in consolidating his continental footbold. Reinforcements and supplies were pouring the straits from Sicily in a great fleet of small craft.

A naval officer back from an operation said the straits were "literally crowded" with ships. Official reports indicate that German reinforcements and supplies have been pouring into northern Italy over the Brenner pass rail line, which was severed two days ago by heavy flying Fortress raids on Trento, Bolzano and Bologna. Almost Impossible Task A movement of any great number of troops or large quantities of war materials farther south, however, particularly beyond Naples, would appear to be an almost 1m- possible task for the nazis in the present state of their air force. An official allied report, meantime, said that "sortie after sortie" of planes ranged over lower Italy from dawn to dusk and returned to report no targets for their guns or bombs. Of the few enemy planes sighted, five were destroyed and one allied ship was missing.

American Liberators from the Middle East bombed the railroad yards at Sulmona, 75 miles east of Rome, by daylight yesterday. They ran into stiff opposition and shot down 27 enemy ships while themselves losing six planes. Total Raised to 82 This brought the total bag of enemy planes to 32 against a loss of seven allied craft. RAF Wellingtons raids on enemy airfields at Capua followed up last night with 5 flare and Capodichino in the Naples area, setting fire to several hangars. He revealed an Ingenious method by which the Canadian landing barges were directed to their appointed spots on the Italian coast in the darkness yesterday morning.

Tracer, shells fired on fixed lines from the Sicilian coast guided them to the exact points they to hit. Munro said beaches were not mined. One big axis shore gun opened up during the crossing, but WAS silenced by British warships. The first wave of the invasion cleared well ahead of schedule, and by early afternoon a second wave of 'seacraft was under way. Job Office Here Open on Holiday The U.

Apply evenings Orpheum theater. BIGGER BOMBERS FOR EUROPE SOON LONDON, Sept. 4 (U.R) -The European theater has the No.

1 priority on American heavy bomber production, and new and bigger bombers will be ready for the deepest penetration of Germany when allied strategy calls for them, Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of the United States army air force, said today. Arnold 1 arrived in Britain this week to confer with American and British air officers in this theater. Adolf Hitler can have no hope of moving vital war industry beyond the range of the American bombers, Arnold said at a press conference, He gave no hint when "superforts" would begin arriving in the British isles, but said confidently that they would be "ready when they are needed." To Arrive in Near Future The maximum heavy bomber strength will be here in the "near future," he added.

For the first time Arnold revealed that work was being done on technical devices to eliminate the weather as a determining factor in daily precision bombing. "You can be assured that we Americans are far sighted enough and are going to have the necessary gadgets so we won't have to keep all these heavy bombers on the ground waiting for the sun to shine," he said. "The present Flying Fortress is going to be the medium bomber of the future, and the medium bomber as it is known today is going to disappear, fighter-bombers are going to take their place in air tactics." Winning Aerial Battle Arnold said the royal air force and USAAF are winning the aerial battle of Germany, obliging the nazis to throw into it everything they have in futile attempts to halt the allied planes. "Our airmen should not be surprised at anything that appears in front of them over Germany, because the nazis have to halt our aircraft," he said. "In turn we are going to use cannon rockets or whatever is necessary to get to the targets." RATIO CALENDAR 0 MEATS, BUTTER, CHEESE, OILS, FATS- Red stamps and good through Oct.

Men Past 37 Not Wanted by Army WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 (P) The armed services aren't interested in calling up men past the age of 37, a war manpower commission spokesman said today in commenting on a proposal by Representative Snyder, to draft older men to forestall the induction of fathers.

While there is no legal bar to the induction of men past 37, he said, neither the army nor the navy ask selective service for men of that age. This 15 chiefly because a majority of older men are not physically qualified for military service, he said. Furthermore, he added, the older men generally possess greater skills needed at home in war production factories. Won't Peter Werp, 36, father of seven, opens his mail on the non-deferrable bank job in Kansas City he says he will stay with rather than go into a war plant. He says: "Do I have to give up my training and experience, feeling maybe like coward, as I hunt for a place in a war plant just to escape fighting for Uncle Sam?" BOMBERS LEVEL LAE BUILDINGS (From Pare One) gun emplacements around the airdrome.

"All buildings in the administrative and headquarters area were destroyed," the communique said. The raiding Liberators, which were escorted by Lightnings, were greeted by heavy anti-aircraft fire, but no Japanese planes intercepted. FULL SCALE PACIFIC WAR WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 (P) American and British war production is growing so large that the allies about ready to undertake scale war against Japan as well as Germany. This was determined on the highest authority today.

Presumably it was the central truth of much of the conference planning at at the Quebec Anglo-American a dominant theme in the military phases of the talks between President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill here. To date the war against Japan has been in the preliminary stages of great offensive operations. From information now available it is clear that the conclusion of these stages is rapidly nearing. In allied circles here there is a feeling of grim confidence that a real two-front fight by the United States and Great Britain is at hand. This implies no change in the beat-Hitler-first strategy.

It reflects rather official application of the immense outpourings of airplanes, ships, guns and other munitions, especially from the vast arsenals of the United States. U.S. Spud Support Plan Goes Ahead (From Page One) to become jittery. with the result that they sold their crops at a price lower than they would have received by waiting, Kitchen pointed out that the support price is based not upon current parity, but upon parity as of July 1, 1943. "When.

our first announcement was made the price level was stated to be 92 per cent of parity 88 estimated for July 1," he said, "but in no event Jess than the 90 per cent required by statute. The U. S. parity price for July was estimated last Feb. 3 at $1.15 per bushel, 92 per cent of which is about $1.06.

Parity on July 1 was reported as $1.18, 90 per cent of which also is $1.06." Ar CLYDE KOONTZ PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT Announces opening of offices at Room 3, Burkholder Bldg, Phone 265 WANTED!

FDR CALLS FOR GREATER OUTPUT WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 (P)-President Roosevelt, in a Labor day message directed to workers, farmers and employers, called today for increased production to speed the day of victory and "thus save lives and The President's statement was one of many similar proclamations by government and labor leaders urging still greater speed in the output of war goods but at the same time praising the vast amount of work already under way on the home front. "Fifty-six years ago," Mr.

Roosestatement said, "Labor day was observed for the first time in the United States. "Since then we have fought one World war to victory and now are engaged in another and even greater conflict upon the result of which depends the future of freedom loving people the world over. "With that priceless heritage at stake we are determined that this World war, too, shall result in victory so that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness shall be the lot of man when he wills it and that he be not the downtrodden serf of brutal axis masters. determination is shared by all Americans; by workers, by management and by farmers. It is altogether fitting that these groups of free Americans are working today, many laboring on round the clock shifts, that our fighting men on land, on sea and in the air may have the weapons with which to bring about victory as speedily 86 possible, "To make time and thus save lives and suffering, our American workers, employers and farmers will need not only to maintain their production pace but to increase it.

Their record to date has been magnificient and in keeping with the true American spirit of all out effort for those fighting so valiantly and so successfully in all parts of the world. "That increased production effort will be forthcoming. It will be given gladly for love.of country and for liberty, as it has been given since Pearl Harbor, to. set up en record that never has been equalled. "We well may be proud of that achievement for it has done much to make possible the successes of the armed forces of United Nations.

Its continuation will spell the defeat of our our enemies -the preservation of our way of life." Guardian Named so Hailey Youth, 17, Can Go Into Navy HAILEY, Sept. 4-In order that R. M.
