WASHINGTON, July 13 -(/P) -

by the house military committee

Britain-Based
Bombers Raid
Northern Italy
LONDON. July 13 CP).—Home-
based bombers of the RAF struck
a heavy blow at Turin in northen
Italy last night in operations co-
ordinated with the Allied inva-
sion of Sicily, the British announc-
ed today.
Thr- raiders unloaded the “usual
heavy concentration of bombs”
on thei** objectives.
Taking a different route going
and coming the big bombers flew
a round trip of approximately
2,000 miles.
Because of bad weather the <
aircraft were dispersed on the re-
turn flight, it was said, and figur-
es on losses were not immediately f
available, but they were reported j
“about normal” for such an oper- j
ation. * !
The raid was described author-
itatively as “part of t lie combined :
operations now going on in the ,
Medi terr anean
Turin has been raided 28 times
since the start of the war, the j
last time the night of Feb. 4. The
city is the site of important Ita-
lian war industries.
The long flight negotiated by
the raiders last night was re-
garded here as particularly re-
markable because there were only
about six hours of darkness to
cover the movement. It was indi-
senate, to boost the government
payments to dependents of draft-
ed men will depend in a large

| months from now,” May said.
May said he shared a general
belief among committee members
, that the induction of fathers
I would be put off for some time,
) perhaps indefinitely. In that event,
j he explained, tne need for boost-
ing federal payments already pro-
vided would be lessened.
Also on the committee’s docket
for early consideration is the
Apstin-Wadsworth national serv-
ice bill under which all men and
women would be required to reg-
ister for assignment to services
where there was a need for them
—in the armed forces, industry or
I agriculture.
Fresh interest was aroused in
the proposal after Rep. Wads-
worth <R-NY>, co-author of the
selective service act, visited the
White House recently
While not able to commit the
president to the service bill,
Wadsworth said, he left the White
House with the feeling that it was
being given serious consideration
by Mr. Roosevelt.
New Blueprints

WASHINGTON, July ]3——
Congress, having liquidated the
National Resour c e s Planning
Board, will consider other means
of drawing postwar economic
blueprints when it reconvenes in
September, probably with princi-
pal emphasis on private enterprise
and state and local controls.

U-Boat Warfare
To Be Resumed
WASHINGTON July 13 op).—
Secretary Knox said today that
while we have materially reduc-
ed our 1 ssos by sinkings in the
north Atlantic," German U-boat
warfare undoubtedly will break
out forcefully somewhere else.
Knox told his press conference:
“To kid ourselves that this
thing (submarine warfare' is won
now would be a mistake. We’re
fighting a resourceful foe. To as-
sume that they're licked in the
lirst round would be the worst
kind of folly.
“I haven’t any doubt that sub-
marine lighting will break out
somewhere else.”
The secretary said no American
navy losses had been reported in
the Sicily action yet.

attack on the Japanese base of

GERMANS CLAIM
TRANSPORT SUNK
By The Associated Press
A German communique, broad-
cast by the Berlin radio and re-
corded by the Associated Press,
asserted today that German long
distance bombers yesterday sank
an Allied transport in the Atlantic
over his American league squad,
has come up with a lineup that
bears a striking resemblance to
double talk in braile.

All rigns now point to a sell-
out of some 33,000 cash custom-
ers and a gate of about $70,000
for the bat and ball fund.
When McCarthy announced his
lineup, he not only didn’t know

the general guess was that it
would be Ernie 'Tiny' Bonham
of the Yanks—but he was also at
a loss about his catcher: he wasn't

TTF. stood quite still.
-*■*- Had it been his imagina-
tion . . .?
No, no!
For he saw the door opening
warily for the width of half an
inch, and, without seeing the
speaker, he heard the ancient rit-
ual words of the Lodge:
“Who is the one that cometh
knocking?”
Instinctively, he gave the right
reply:
• * A i 1 r*** t «*>'» J **

“Where do you travel, O pil-
grim?”
“Toward Allah the One. the
All-Merciful, the Lord of Day-
break!”
“With whom do you travel, O
pilgrim?”
“With Mohammed, the Prophet,
the Adored—on whom the Peace!”
“Where is your strength, O pil-
grim?"
“In thc iron about my wrist!”
“Where is the iron, O pilgrim?”
“Here!” — as Lincoln put his
wrist through the siit of thc door.
There was then silence. Silence,
queerly waiting; and the purple
rush of the night.
Then words came:
“Enter with God, O pilgrim!”
The door opened wide. It closed
behind him a few seconds later
with a dry, dramatic little click
if finality. *
IT was a woman who had asked
A him the password and let him
in. She stood there, sharply out-
lined in the lemon rays of the
candle which she was holding.
She was very small, very wizen
and bent, her dead-white face a
mass of finely etched wrinkles, yet
with highly rouged checks and
her lips painted a bright crimson.
“Horrible old hag!” he thought.
Who might she be?
One of the Bi Hassanyich,
surely. But who?
He had no idea.
Yet she knew him. For she
called him by name—his Moslem
name.
“Terek!” she said, in a trem-
ulous voice. “Terek el-Medja-
hiri!”
Her eyes—the* only thing about
her of any beauty, immense, deep-
b r o w n, gold-flecked—gazed at
him with a sort of pleading ex-
pectancy. He did not speak, still
wondered who she was; and she
continued:
“Don’t you remember me? Oh
- don’t you, don't you, don't you?”
He did not. lie toid her so.
“You see,” he suggested apolo-
getically, “there were so many of
us in the days gone by.”
“But, to quote your own words,”
she rejoined slowly, “there was
only one like me! Aye—only one
like me in all thc world!"
“Who—” he demanded—“who
are you? Won't you tell me?”
She came n step nearer.
“I," she said, “am Sitt Fosiha."
He regarded her incredulously.
“You—” he stammered — “you
are . . . ?”
Her laughter rose shrilly, trag-
ically.
“Yes!” she cried. “Sitt Fosiha!
Do you remember now? Do you
remember how you swore upon still young . . .**
the Koran that you would never ; (To Be Continued)
forget me—never, never, never*
Ho swallowed hard. He wa.
conscious of remorse and, too, of
pity.
“We,” he whispered, “were
young then. So was our love
young.”
“During youth,” she countered,
“love is a flower. And when we
grow old, it withers into hay—
and then the oxen eat it.”
Again he swallowed hard.

— this wizen, painted old hag . . .

her at a time when ho had re-
ceived six weeks' furlough for
“distinguished service,” and had
spent it all with his native friends
—and most of it with her.
His first love it had been—and
how profound it had seemed, leap-
ing all barriers of ethical and re-
ligious inheritance. A deep, true
passion that—he had been sure—
could never end.
Well—it had ended.
His furlough had been over. He

of repulsion, ns he recalled how
once she had been dearer to him
than the dwelling of kings, how
she had lain in his arms, how on
her lips he had tasted life's most
amazing beauty and glory and
sweetness; and, a second later,
obeying an impulse, perhaps to
make up for the ugly reaction, he
bowed and kissed her hand.
She jerked it away.
“Is it my hand this day?" she
exclaimed. “Ah—by ttie Prophet
Mohammed the Adore d!—and
years ago it was my mouth.”
She was silent.
“I hate you, Terek!” she wont
on, with a hysterical catch in her
voice.
