Report on Ragus American and Anglo Canadian forces who joined hands In the outskirts of Ragusa, a small oil center 33 miles west-southwest of Syracuse, were reported unofficially to have captured the city, but this also was unconfirmed. Enemy lines were stiffening all along the front. The fall of Ragusa was expected to be followed by the capture of Corn Lso and Biscarl, two airfield towns to the west.

Lt. Gen. George S. Patton was reported advancing toward Agrigento, 25 miles to the northwest, and Caltanissetta, 28 miles to the north, two points at which the Italo-German high command was reported concentrating troops for large-scale counter-attacks. General Patton 'a forces already have beaten off a number of Axis attacks, one of them with the aid of destroyers, which shelled German tanks on land for the first time in history, but no large Axis formations have been encountered yet Message by Montgomery General Montgomery's message to his troops on the eve of the invasion was revealed belatedly to have proclaimed that the time now had come to "carry the war Into Italy and Into the Continent of Europe." "The Italian overseas empire has been General Montgomery said.

"We will now deal with the home country We will set about the Italians in their own country in no uncertain way. They came into this war to suit themselves and they must take the con-squences. They asked for It and now they'll get it "I have complete confidence In the successful outcome of this operation. Therefore, with faith in God and enthusiasm for our cause and for the day of battle, let us enter into this contest with stout hearts -and a determination to conquer." Demarest, N. July 14 Until the Office of Defense Transportation and the Office of Price Administration can get together and offer an emergency gasoline supply to the three-piece volunteer fire department here, the village's quota of fires is strictly limited to one.

According to Harry F. Tate, chairman of the Public Safety Committee, recent ODT cuts in gas allotments meant the department had to stretch its gas supply an extra, 25 days, but an unusual number of brush fires used up all but enough fuel to get the engines to one more blaze. Tate has been trying since July 1 to get more gas, but with no luck yet. Yesterday he termed the ODT's questionnaires and forms "red tape carried to a ridiculous extreme." PROBE DEATH PLUNGE OF Falls in Front of Train Queens police today were investigating the death of Vincent McGuire, 40-year-old letter-carrier of 30-83 32d Astorin, who fell or jumped from the roof of a five-story apartment building at 30-86 32d across the street from his home, yesterday.

"Then came the appointment of a Moreland Commissioner who naturally found much of what the board and I had been reporting to Albany for some months, but the published facts of the commissioner make no mention of these facts. On the other hand the Board of Visitors Is The investigation was conducted by Moreland Commissioner Archie O.

Dawson. Dr. Mills, declaring he was "proud" of the way Creedmoor State Hospital had developed under his administration, said the conclusions in the Dawson report were reached after a few visits to one institution and two open hearings. One of these conclusions was that an administrative breakdown had occurred at Creedmoor and the Mental Hygiene Department. "It seems very strange to me that an honored State department with jurisdiction over 26 institutions can have its acts of the past 20 years condemned and my own good name besmirched on such evidence," Dr.

Mills said. He defended the Board of Visitors and declared its members were conscientious In attending meetings and had made many special visits to the hospital. "In my opinion," he said, "they deserve much commendation, not censure." Dr. Mills Incorporated In his letter excerpts from a report which, he said he was Informed, Dr. James E.

Perkins, director of the division of communicable diseases of the State Health Department, had writ- ten in March. According to Dr. Mills, this report questioned the ultimate value of the Creedmoor I investigation and declared the out- break of amoebic dysentery at Creedmoor was of a "relatively unimportant nature." Dr. Perkins was further quoted saying that conditions at Creedmoor were surprisingly good, under the circumstances which existed, and were vastly superior to those he had observed in many State hospitals in other sections of the country in normal times. "It is my firm conviction," Dr.

Mills added, "that the facts presented above, which are part of records in Department of Mental Hygiene and your own office, serve to contradict Commissioner Daw-ion's published findings and that you will be Ruided accordingly."

Frank Tremalne, United Press staff correspondent at South Pacific headquarters, said the second battle fought in Kula Gulf north of New Georgia Monday night and early Tuesday ended with four out of 10 enemy ships definitely sunk, two probably sunk and others damaged while Allied forces suffered only slight damage, "The Allied navy has derailed another section of the Tokio express." a headquarters spokesman told Tremalne. Light Cruiser in Group Those sunk represented an entire group in one section of the enemy flotilla. They Included one light cruiser. The rest were destroyers.

Four other warships, probably destroyers, were believed to have been damaged. They fled northward after the fight. A week earlier from nine to 11 enemy warships were sunk in Kula Gulf. General MacArthur's communique said 150 Japanese troops were killed and "many" wounded in a battle several ago at Enoeai Gulf, about 12 miles north of Munda on New Georgia, and that captured equipment included heavy artillery.

Johnson, Increased costs of operation are placing an added burden on the shoulders of the apartment houes owners, and some of these are trying to hand on a portion of such increase to the tenant. Tile natty action taken by a few of the owners has led to a belief that rents are being generally increased, which does not appear to be true.

PETER REEVES MARKETS. 144 Clinton Street, Brooklyn. N. Y. FINANCIAL NEWS Group Five Acts To Prevent Rent Ceilings Locally The savings banks of Brooklyn and Queens have again taken steps to try to prevent the imposition of rent control in New York City, according to George C.

Johnson, chairman of the Group Five Mortgage Information Bureau and treasurer of the Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn. The savings banks fear that the recent action of a small group of apartment house owners in demanding increase in rents and ordering vacate of tenants, may lead to the imposition of the rent ceiling in the territory. They are accordingly writing to the owners of apartment houses on which they hold mortgages, pointing out the necessity for cooperation with the government in holding down rents and controlling inflation. "It will be remembered," said Mr. Johnson, "that the same group of savings banks, In June, 1942, sent a telegram to Leon Henderson, then Admiittrator of the Office of Price Administration, pledging themselves to maintain their March 1.
