ALLIED HEADQU T235 NORTH AFRICA. Junta’! —(AP)I-Ij Tearing apart the Axis air cppnglg. ion at the rate of l9 enemy Dilmes cestroyod to one allied craft lost, thunderins squadrons of lied bombers and fighter-bombers held the Italian islands an¢ Ihly he... self under almost unbroken snug over the week-end.

Communioues issued iocoy here "id iii Cairo. the latter headquart- ers for the Middle East Command. briefly told a story of shattering assaults ail aion the Italian Med- iwflflneon Isian defences.

Every Sort of rune

Aiiiec lanes sweeping out from North rice and the Middle East threw their greatest raids against iiw ions-punished island of Pan- "iioria- but Biviiv and the main- land suoniv ports of Meesina. Ban Gimmini and Reggie Caiabria were hard hit as well.

The allies threw in virtually eWrv sort of plane in the gNat glacembuiit up aions the shores of

‘German fighter strength. particul-

arly over Panteileria. but they smashed through every enemy fol-- motion. downing an aggregate of 18 lighters. two bombers and one trill-Wort at the cost of a single allied plane lost over Pantellcrla.

Biggest Blow

Tile biggest single blow dealt the enemys fighter strength was sruck by 50 bombers of the Middle Eist Ccmmand which went over to pound Messina. Reggio Calaiaria and San Giovanni. They blew out of the sky at least eight Aitis planes. and in ail probability three more. of an enemy force of about 30. Not one of the 50 American raiders was lost.

Panteiieria, a strip of Axis ground that week on end has shaken in flames under Allied bombs, was hit first by heavy bombe and then by medium and fighter- mbers. eight enemy fighters being shot down. At Messina. the railroad varos were sprayed with bombs. and ex- plosives fell also in the vicinity of the power station. naval barracks and oil tanks. Bomb bursts light- ed up Reggie Caiabriers harbor area; the ferry terminal at San Giovanni was squarely hit. ’

(The Italians asserted that five aiiie-i planes were brought down in the Muslim strait raids: that seven wet? destroyed over Pantellcria and tha three additional allied planes were knocked down in other o er- ations. The sinking of an ai led submarine by Italian naval action also was claimed.)

Potato Charges

MONTREAL, June 7 — (C?) — Thirty Montreal area residents- some of them farmers others whole- salers-were today summoned to appear in court "within a. wees" to answer charges of violating Prices Board regulations in connection with the sale of Jrotatoes.

A prices boar official said the charges-selling potatoes at rices higher than the Prices Boar ceil-

—were laid after Royal Can-

No indication was given today as to when the cases would be heard.

Legion Head Briiioai 0f War Policy

, EDMONTON Julie '7 iCPi-Alex Walker of Calgary, Dominion Pres- iuem. of the uaiiuulun Legion. said in an address today that "apart from certain compulsory manpower pleasures recently introduced on the home front, we seem to be as for away as ever from a realistic policy of total war and I'm afraid that both our government and people are in for a rude awakening when our army casualties start to come in in earnest."

Speaking to the 13th annual coil- vention of the Alberta Command of the Canadian Legion, he said: “It is tragic. but apparently inevit- able that we must wait until that time before the ‘ghoney war’ spirit is replaced in t is country by a spirit of realism and a policy of courageous determination to meet all our manpower requirements at home and overseas."

He said every soldier. every of- ficer and every Canadian wanted to see the Canadian army get into action. When it did there was no doubt it would give as ood an ac- count of itself as the o d Canadian expeditionary force.

"But it would be folly to think that their victory will be less costly in blood and tears than was ours 25 years ago.

“The crucial question therefore is. have we sufficient trained re- serves abroad. not here in Canada where they are wasted. to im- mediately fiii the gaps in our Can- adian units after encii battle so that our army may continue to figili as an army and not be reduced to

a corps by the necessity of breaking up whole divisions for use as rein- forcements."
