Warring: Fronts
Police Seeking
Younger Brother
Of HI Capone
Chicago police this week sought
Matt Capone, 35, youngest broth-
er of A1 Capone, for questioning
in the fatal shooting of James
D. Larkin, a 52-year-old gambler
whose body was found in a West
Side alley.
The police disclosed that an
unidentified witness reported
seeing Larkin in an argument
in Capone’s Cicero (Ill.) tavern.
Jack Guzik, alleged leader of
the remnants of the A1 Capone
bootleg gang, was also wanted
in connection with the slaying
of Larkin, but he suddenly dis-
appeared last week.
Larkin, a native of Davenport,
Iowa, worked at “The Dome,”
an elaborate Cicero gambling est-
ablishment closed by police last
October. His death was believed
connected with a gangland strug-
gle for control of Cicero’s vice
rackets.
Lifer-Author
Writes In Cell
Plans Ahead
Earl Guy, author of the best-
seller, “Heaven Is A Sunswept
Hill,” is serving a life sentence
in the Stillwater Penitentiary in
Minnesota, but regardless of his
present position he still expects
to live on some sunswept hill
when he is a free man again.
Guy was convicted in 1929 of
robbing a bank at St. Michael,
Miss., and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary. He was pardoned in
1936, but returned in 1940, when
he became involved in apother
robbery in which a policeman
was killed.
Although the Minnesota Sup-
reme Court has denied his appeal
for release, Guy talks of living
in a small town in Missouri
“when he is released.”
He is working on another novel
and is proud of the fact that he
retains his citizenship. He stated
that he wrote “Heaven Is A Sun-
swept Hill” in a year and that
he wrote it while in his cell —
all in Jonghand. His mother in
Minneapolis typed it out for him
and in turn sent it to a publisher.
Following is next week’s pro-
gram for the Armed Forces Radio
Service.

One Night Stand,
Russia
The eastern-Russian-German
front continues to remain fore-
bodingly quiet, with this week’s
only major action coming from
the Sevastopol trap. Here the
Nazi army is trying to move out
troops a few at a time in a sup-
reme effort to stave off their im-
pending doom.
German ships are attempting
to slip out of the battered Sev-
astopol harbor, which is under
the watchful eye of the Red air
force. To date most of their at-
tempts have resulted in disaster.
There have been no reports
from any of the other sectors,
other than a few minor scouting
operations south of Tirsapol.
Italy
Indian troops of the Eighth
Army this week pushed back all
German attacks and Allied pat-
rols and infantry continued to
be active on all parts of the Itali-
an fronts.
In the air, Liberators, Welling-
tons and Halifaxes from Italian
airfields gave Bucharest, capital
of Rumania and hub of Hiller’s
communications system in the
Balkans, its first night attack.
The Allied raiders struck in the
early hours of morning.
Pacific
Rabaul Harbor, much blasted
Japanese base in New Britain,
was again heavily hit late this
week when Allied planes dropped
a total of 88 tons of bombs on
airdromes and defence points.
On the Arakan front in Burma,
the high ground over-looking the
Maungdaw and Buthidaung road
is now fimly in Allied hands.
It was also reported that an
enemy U-boat was destroyed
southwest of Socotra in the Ind-
ian Ocean by the RAF.
Bumfemgs
While Allied bombers from
Italy were raiding Bucharest, the
RAF this week struck in great
strength at four targets, three
in France and one in Germany.
In Hitler’s European Fortress,
the British air force pounded
Ludwigshaven, located in west-
ern Germany.
Rqaring over France, the RAF
blasted Mailly, some miles south-
west of Rheims, and also attack®
aircraft stores and equipment a
Montdidier, both targets beino
clearly; identified in bright
moonlight. In Chateludian, larg®
stocks of ammunition were bla-
sted and huge fires left burning-
According to the most recent
report of the four mighty raids-
the British airmen are missing
a total of 49 planes. They reports
that scores of German fighters
offered the fiercest opposition in
many months.
German Civilians
Put To Work
On Italian Front
A Reuters dispatch from Italy
this week disclosed that untrain-
ed German civilians are being
placed in the most advance
positions in Italian front lineS
as punishment for minor offenc-
es which ordinarily bring prison
sentences of five to six months-
They have no free time, recei-
ve little and very poor food, no
cigarettes and are given the mos
disagreeable and dangerous jobs-
Without benefit of basic training-
they guard supply dumps or Pre"
pare defensive positions in eX
posed areas.
