Air Fleets Hit Foggia and Aeolian Islands Movement
Allied air forces pounded Foggia rail yards and surrounding targets as Liberators and Halifaxes bombed lines of communication across southern Italy. Lipari and Stromboli fell largely unopposed as British warships shell Scalia. Beaufighters and Wellingtons attacked Crete, and German fighters contested southern Italian airspace, with heavy anti aircraft fire around Reggio Calabria and continued pressure to defend the Sicilian flank.

Kearney Proposes Demobilization Cushion Bill
Rep Bernard W Kearney of Gloversville says he will introduce a bill to cushion postwar demobilization. The plan would furlough soldiers to the reserve up to captain for up to a year with base pay until they find work, then move them off reserve to inactive status or discharge. Kearney, ex national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, is discussed for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor as the court rules the seat must be filled at the November election.
