In that connection, it is well to remember that the Germans in Russia have been under heavy pressure at all points for more than two They have beeh in almost and disheartening retreat and have lost heavily in men and materials. There are no fresh troops on hand to give them needed rest and replenishment.

REALISTIC FOOTING (Concluded From Page One) civilian branches of the govern The group is to start work by surveying war orders already placed and those pending. It was told by the President that "we must see that we produce only what we need and that the waste, unavoidably pre sent in war is kept to a minimum." Some officials are counting heavily upon this edict to bring production schedules out of the clouds where they have been, to a large extent, for nearly 21 months On Jan. 6, 1942, nearly a month after Pearl Harbor, the President told Congress that he had instructed various government departments to step up war production so that 60. 000 planes would be produced in 1942 and 123,000 in 1943 45,000 tanks In 1942 and 75,000 in 1943; 20,000 anti aircraft guns in 1942 and 35,000 in 1943; 8,000,000 deadweight tons of merchant shipping in 1942 and 10.000.000 tons in 1943.

Subsequently, Mr. Roosevelt conceded that production experts had proclaimed privately from the outsetthat the goals were too high. The armed services tied their schedules to the President's astronomical goals even though Industrial leaders said they were impossible of WPB officials, who bore the brunt of criticism during the past summer when output slumped sharply, contend that It Is unfair to Judge industry's effort. by the degree with which It has met schedules. They point, for example, to the President's report to Congress on Sept.

17, in which he listed these produc tion achievements: From the beginning of toe national defense program to Sept. 1, 1943: airplanes, ah plane en gines. tanks, artillery weapons, small arms. 8,500, 000; small arms ammunition, 25,942, OO0.000 rounds, and trucks, 1,233,000. uovernmtnt and industrla pro duction experts take the position that In many cases schedules are not really schedules but something snoot war Department sche dules, It was understood, have been ratriy realistic for the past five or six months.

Navy schedules still are rescribed as resting on an "incentive" footing. Maritime Commission schedules are said to be geared reasonably to likely produc mnu.iu Wr.ocrf REV. FATHER FALLS OFFERS FAREWELL SERMON ON SUNDAY The Rev. Father James A. Garfield Falls, 63, preached his farewell sermon Sunday to the St.

Mary's church congregation, having resigned his position there as pastor which he has held since 1928.

Before coming to Piqua, Father Falls served at the Cathedral in Cincinnati, Hyde Park, St. Mary's Mt.

Washington, in Cincinnati, and at the Catholic church in Fayet vllle. Previously to that he was a professional ball player.

Sweeping forward against the eastern flank of the Naples region a distance ol 10 miles from Acemo the allies captured Calabrito, 2c miles northeast of Salerno; while Cassano.fell in a four mile push Leaving the Salerno plain far be hind, the Fifth Army units on thi right flank after seven days of In cessant fighting captured heights aununaung an important road Junction. It was north of Salerno, where the Nazis were defending the most direct route to Naples, that the fighting was described as the fiercest since the British Kighth Army broke the Aiamein line before Alexandria and startea the historic push westward The Army's advance to uerignoia, on tne Foggia plain, represented a 12 mile push from Can osa and put the British vanguard 22 miles from Foggia itself.

With that big center in allied hands, Naples will have been outflanked strategically if the Fifth Army has not oy passea it more directly by then On the Adriatic coast the British pushed five miles north from Bar let ta to seize Margherlto Di Sa voia. The new line runs east from the region of Amalfi on the Sorrento peninsula below Naples, through the areas oi can cipriano, Acerno, Calabrito, Muro, Atella, Montcmilone, and Cerignola to Margherita Di Sa voia, a distance of 110 miles. occupation of all Corsica by French Goumiers and regular troops, along with American Hangers and orsican natives, appeared Immin ent as the Germans fell back into the northeastern tip of the Island on a line running from Bastla 2 miles north to Cape Corse. The plight of the Germans wa likened to their last days on th Cap Bon peninsula of Tunisia. AI lied naval and air forces patrolled the surrounding seas, ready to pounce on any attempt to evacuat the remaining enemy troops by ail or sea.

The hardest fighting on the Italian mainland continued In the rugged mountains guarding the ap proaches to the Naples plain. The uerman command threw in heav reinforcements in an attemnt i halt the Fifth Army's offensive, but the American and British Invaders continued to men lorward. A front dispatch from Reynolds Packard, United Press war correspondent, said the fighting north east of Salerno was the heaviest since tne invasion began two and a half weeks ago. The Germans were making their stand in camouflaged, reinforced concrete pillboxes and concrete trenches, all protected by barbed wire and minefields. Calabritto fell to the Fifth Army after a six mile advance from Oli veto.

The British Eighth Army drove seven mues north from the Ofanto river at the entrance to the Foggia plain, captured the highway Junction at Cerignola and pressed on toward Foggia and Its 13 airfields against light opposition. Named College Chaplain Gambler. Sent 27 ni pi r. r. Clement W.

THE PIQUA DAILY CALL TALE OF MISSING GAG SHOWS WOES ON PATH OF LOVE Troy, Sept. 27 An Inadvertent ex change of duffle bags belonging to two young men 1n training at Great Lakes nival training station brought lorcioiy to tne mind or one at least that the of true loves never runs smoothly.

The two trainees were passengers together from Chicago as far as Lima Saturday euroute to Davton and Tipp City on a short leave. The Dag of the one headed for Tipp city contained his medical certificate and all was arranged for his secur ing a marriage license and his wed ding as he was required to be back at the station Monday morning. me iipp city man was met by his fiancee In a car and they were accompanied to that place by the Dayton man. As the latter left the car, he mistakenly picked up the wrong duffle bag, riot discovering tn error until he reached Dayton. There, once he discovered the mistake, a call was made to police headquarters at Tipp City which in turn brought a call to Judge Carl Felger from Marion Mason, the clerk.

However the telephone connection was severed Just as Judge Felger heard something that seemed to pertain to a duffle bag. Later a worried young man appeared to make application for a license and told the story of the missing bag. Judge Felger then called Mr. Mason at Tipp City and contact was made with a Dayton woman, who disclosed that the other trainee had gone to Columbus to see his girl. At the request of the court, the Dayton woman read the medical certificate over the telephone and the application tor a marriage license was filed.

In the meantime, a messenger was sent to Dayton, returning with the all important paper and the license was Issued. Needless to say, the young trainee and his bride to be were highly elated when all the difficulties were finally ironed out. WIDOW OF JOSEPH HOUSER STRICKEN Mrs. Lenta D.

Another suggestion being sounded out over the' week end would, for example, call fathers in the IB to 21 year age group first' and when they' were exhausted raise the age limit gradually as needed. 'Hie bill, sponsored by Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, is scheduled for Senate debate tomorrow. There have been two weeks of special hearings on (t during which high military, naval and civilian govrnment officials vigorously opposed it.

Wheeler's bill would defer all fathers until Jan. 1, 1944. Some congressional sources predicted over the week end that Wheeler's bill never would come to a vote that it would be recommitted to committee and thus killed Wheeler said he would fight such a move, although he concedes defeat If it comes to a vote. There would be strong support for a recommittal motion because it would offer a way out for senators who don't want to vote either against the administration or against the drafting of fathers.

"The Red army daily will intensify its blows on the enemy until he is expelled from the sacred precincts or Soviet land and decisively crushed," Pravda said. The Russians have benefitted by changes in the weather recently. In the marshy Gomel area a warm spell enabled the Red armies to negotiate usually Impassable forest regions and reach points within 28 miles of Gomel.

On the lower reaches of the Dnieper Soviet forces were using the mists and fog to accelerate theh crossings. A conservative estimate of Red army achievements in the last 12 weeks showed that It had regained almost as much territory as it did in five months of the last winter offensive. It has liberated about 14,000 communities and rot'ghly 185,000 square miles an area larger than Germany proper. MAIN DEFENSES (Concluded From Page One) Melbourne radio quoted Gen.

All three agencies were engaged in or intended for vast overseas operations for which the field will ex pand instead ol contract.

Yet they were ir.depencent of each other. It led to a lot of confusion ar.d to plaintive inquiries from the British and other allies who wondered with whom in a position of overall authority they could deal. As now set up they can deal with Leo T. Crowley, or his agent. Crowley heads the new FSA which is what the Office of Foreign Economic administration embracing those agencies will be called.

The changes also serve to orient Herbert H. Lehman Into the relief situation.

But word shortly got around Washington that Lehman'6 organization vaa making so little progress that some of those who had Joined to do a war job were becoming discouraged.

Now Lehman Is out and until November 9 he will be one of Mr. Roosevelt's numerous White House assistants. But when representatives of the United Nations gather here on that date to get the United Nations relief and rehabilitation administration under way, Lehman will be the United States nominee for director. He will get the Job all right because the United States obviously will have to provide most of the relief and rehabilitation that Is to be passed out. Stettlnius' job as Lend Lease administrator disappeared In the consolidation process.

That left him available for the under secretary ship of state from which Sumner Welles resigned alter serious differences with Secretary of State Cor dell Hull. Welles is one of Mr. Roosevelt's closest friends, an attachment that goes back to Groton and Harvard. The President had an unhappy choice between Welles and Hull. There never was any question but that Hull would win, because, if for no other reason, he Is vital link between the Roosevelt cabinet and conservative southern Democrats.

With the undersecretaryship filled, although belatedly, It now will be possible for Hull to attend next month's conference of Anglo American and Russian foreign ministers in Moscow.
