Washington, July 22--The army, seeking which it has been unable to buy at price ceilings, and the Office of Price Administration, striving to bre up black market operations in. tho Delmarva area, tho east's largest producer, watched the highways today, ready to requisition any supplies that showed up. The area include parts of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. The first requisition was made yesterday near Dover, where state police, accompanied by OPA Inspectors, stopped trucks.

The army, which made the actual requisition, received its authority from War Food A i i a tion, acting under the second War Powers Act. Requisitioning followed a six months i i a i by OPA inspectors in the area. This resulted in '10 i i a i black operations.

Japanese opposition Xvas said to be deteriorating steadily, but the spokesman was unwilling to estimate when a final break-through and capture would be possible.

There have been minor raids by enemy ground patrols, but these have resulted in heavy losses to the Japanese. The Americans, the spokesmaon said, have suffered far less severely. The fighting is going on in heavy jungle which extends to the elge of the field from all sides. American planes are operating in close support of the ground campaign, and "we are pouring it on," the sokesman Sftid. (By United Press) American bombers were reported today to have smashed the Jap- anc-se defenses at Bairoko Harbor on New Georgia island in the heaviest attack ever made in the south Pacific, as a Tokyo broadcast acknowledged that a decisive battle for control of the area is about to be fought.

Allies now hold more thaff hall' ot Sicily, most of the good airdromes and some 40,000 prisoners, as well as vast quantities of war material seized in good condition. Only mediocre defenses have been encountered in Western Sicily and there are surprisingly few booby traps and mines to be removed. The Italian 26th division was surrendering piecemeal with many reports of Italians shooting German officers who attempt to prevent them from surrendering. One group of Italians who shot their Nazi officers came over to the Allied lines carrying white flags, smiling and singing.

The Allied advance now has pushed forward on an average inland depth oC 35 miles from the coast and the Americans have extended their western flank from 50 to 60 The fall of Enna communications center in mid-Sicily hastened the German withdrawal northeastward toward Messina.

According to Eaton the producers have requested a federal hearing to ask an increase of 70 cents per pounds of milk. One hundred pounds of milk is equivalent, to about 45 quarts.

Eaton said a i 2.3 cents of the increase is based! upon the street enforcement of the St. Louis ordinance. It was announced in St. Louis that the names of 175 farmers have been submitted to Dr. Berdeck to! permit them to sell Grade A i for bottle consumption.

Action a not been taken on them. These approvals would greatly help the present shortage. Eaton said there were once 12,500 dairymen selling milk for i erni St. Louis use. In number had decreased to 10,207.

Each year since there has been a decrease and Eaton said that latest records of the St. Louis Market Administrator's office show only 3691 producers.
