2 THE PALM BEACH POST, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 1943 (Continued from Page 1) ALLIES CONTINUE TO PUSH FORWARD ered, has nevertheless resulted in the occupation of two of the most important airfields in Southern Italy, Pomigliano d'Arco and Capodichino, it was announced Tuesday. The former is eight northeast of Naples and adjacent to it is the Alfa Romey aircraft and engine works, which self-contained town where 12,000 persons lived and worked until last May. Capodichino is three miles outside Naples. Both fields have been used, by the Germans, transport especially planes.

for In extensive operations Monday the North African air forces not only backed up the ground forces by hammering at the enemy in the front area and dealing blows at the rear area of communications as far away as Pisa and Bolzano near the Brenner Pass, but they also aided in the battle of the Dodecanese by striking at fields in Greece which the Germans have using for operations against Coo. Other bombers from the Middle East also attacked air fields in Greece, and RAF Beaufighters of command went at enemy formations and vehicles on the island of Coo cannon fire. Gen. Henri Giraud formally announced the liberation of Corsica, issuing an order of the day to troops participating in the success and declaring it was a prelude to victory in France. Corsica gives the Allies a new potential air base closer to vital targets in Eastern Germany than any yet taken in Italy, and within fighter range of Southern France and the Genoa and Leghorn regions.

(The German command acknowledged Tuesday that Corsica had been completely evacuated by German troops after destruction of all militarily important establishments.) From the airmen's point of view that all land operations consist of a "battle for airfields," the Allied gains since the start of the Italian campaign have been extremely effective, as they have brought Allied air striking power ever nearer vital Axis targets which up to now have been almost inaccessible. Among the wrecked planes found on the Pomigliano airfield was one which had been ready to take off with a German colonel and his staff in command of the areas as the Allies approached. According to Italian Caribinieri, the party was just about to board the plane when Allied fighters swooped down machine-gunning and set it afire. Many other wrecked German craft and their crews were found on both airfields. On the Adriatic coast, Montgomery's vanguard was reported only 40 miles from the important coastal city of Pescara, which is at the eastern end of a main lateral road running southwestward across Italy to Rome.

There were indications the Germans were throwing reinforcements into Montgomery's path. The line marking territory now in Allied hands runs from a point a little north of Naples to Montesarchio, thence to a point 10 miles east of Benevento, and from there almost due north to the Adriatic coast. Yugoslav naval units--joining in the campaign of the people's liberation army to wrest the Dalmatian coast from the Nazis have captured the island of Lussino, strategically located 50 miles southeast of the Italian naval base of Pola, a communique broadcast by the Free Yugoslav radio announced. The broadcast, recorded at London by Reuters, said the partisan naval units participated in a twoday fight to capture the Italian island and took 258 German officers and men prisoners.

FOR MAKES APPEAL FOR NATIONAL FUND WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. (AP)President appealed to his fellow countrymen Tuesday night to build up a $125,000,000 National War Fund for welfare work and aid to service men, telling them that a share in the fund "is a share in winning the war." He opened the campaign for contributions in a radio address, broadcast from the White House over all networks. Drives for all welfare and relief organizations, except the American Red Cross, are being consolidated this year in the fund. It will provide the money for community chests, United Service Organizations, War Prisoners Aid, United Seamen's Service, and foreign relief agencies.

While ultimate victory is certain, Mr. Roosevelt asserted, it still is a long way off, and the American people know that "for it we are paying and shall have to pay a great price." "I ask you to remember," he said, "that the USO is your share of what we are doing for our own fighting men, and the forces behind the lines. I ask you to consider that War Prisoners Aid does what no government can do. I ask you to think of United Seamen's Service in terms of the people's debt to the men who took our ships across in the darkest hours of the war. "And I ask you not to forget that the people of Russia, and China, and of all the other United Nations--and especially the unfortunate, hungry men, women and children of all the overrun and enslaved countries--see in your personal and friendly concern the brightest ray of hope and the great brightest ray of hope and the greatest power for good in the world today--the sovereign voice of the people of the United States.

"I ask you, therefore, to give thoughtfully, and generously, and proportionately remembering as you give, that a share in the National War Fund is a share in winning the war, and in winning the right of free men to live in a better world." Swedish Newsman Says Nazis Move Into Vichy STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5. (P) The Germans are making "mass arrests" in the Vichy government preparatory to taking over the Vichy Administration, the Zurich correspondent the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter said Tuesday, quoting a foreign diplomat arriving in Switzerland from France. The arrests are being made mainly in the Vichy ministries of Information, Foreign Affairs and Interior and the Germans are exercising the sharpest control over all communications with Vichy, the correspondent said the diplomat told him.

(AP) Rep. Ploeser (R-Mo) protested Tuesday against showing of a news reel scene in which he said Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt classes "Japs and Republicans as common enemies." He said he would demand a Congressional investigation of propaganda use of the movies. Mrs.

Roosevelt declined to comment but a spokesman for Pathe News, one of the companies distributing the film, said she was "just telling a joke--and it's the President's favorite joke-so why should anyone get excited?" Nevertheless Pathe said the scene had been deleted from its film. Ploeser said the scene, made by the Marine Corps while the President's wife was in the Southwest Pacific, shows her telling the story of a Marine who reported he could not shoot into a group of Japanese who shouted "to hell with Roosevelt." Paramount News said laughter drowned out the rest of Mrs. Roosevelt's words, so it was writing them in: the Marine asks, "what could I do? I couldn't shoot a fellow Republican." Universal newsreel said it was cutting the scene after the words "to hell with Roosevelt," because "the laughs drowned the rest out." News of the day used the whole scene.
