Page Five ITALY'S SURRENDER WOULD OPEN EASY SECOND FRONT ■ 1 1 • (Associated Press War Corre- spondfnt Wee Gallagher, back in this countnr after- covering the Tunisian war as a correspondent accredited to General Eisenhow er's headquarters, here surveys the possible long-range effects on the military situation, and future Allied strategy). By Wes « New Ifork, July 26. — Italy’s sur render, apparently foreshadowed by Mussolini’s downfall, would open a “bloodless” second front over night. It would alter the whole Mediter ranean strategy of the Allies and shorten the war against Germany by months and perhaps years. Some of the fruits of victory would be: 1— Allied airfields in northern Italy from which American and RAF bombers could hammer every comer of Hitler’s Reich every hour of the day. ' r 2— Certain collapse of Nazi resist* ance in the Balkans due to the with drawal of the Italian garrisons, air pounding of already feeble Axis sup ply lines leading to Greece and simi lar peace moves by Hitler's war-torn satellites. Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria. I—A bridgehead in Europe from which Allied troops might force their way into France and the Balkans. Any Allied entry into Italy also would have its liabilities. These would be: ' 1—The necessity of finding ship ping and food to feed Italy’s 40,000,- 000—a tremendous strain on Ameri can and British, sea traffic. 2 —The necessity of garrisoning Italy with a half million troops. Perhaps the biggest gain for Amer ica and Britain would be in the air. In trying to carry out an air war WEEK-END TRIPS ■ ■ YISITOHS..
