IT's Show flm of l-ne.n CHURCHILL TELLS OF ATTEMPT T0 INVADE BRIIAIN‘ LONDON, June 20. — British Prime Minister Winston Churchill partially unveiled one of the war's greatest secrets when /he disclosed to the House of Commons that an attempt to invade Britain in 1940 was smashed in continental ports pefore a “very heavy concentra- tion of troops and ships” could be put to sea. Heretofore the government limit- ed its Commons comment by thz statement almost a year ago by Clement Atlee, then Lord President of the Council, who said “it is well known throughout the world that the enemy’s preparations of an invasion in 1940 were frustrated by the Royal Air Force.” Today Major Vyvyan Adams ask- 'SAHARA” CLOSES |ROTARY DISTRICT . THIS EVENING AT | GOVERNORDUEIN CAPITOL THEATRE Humphrey Bogart, whose sensa- tional performance in “Casablanca” won the acclaim of motion pigture fans throughout the land, comes| along now with a highly worthy succesor to that picture. The mm] is Columbia’s stirringly spectacular drama, “Sahara,” which will have| its final showing tonight at the Capital Theatre, and in it Bogart delivers a superb performance as| a two-fisted, tough army sergeant. As two-fisted Sergeant Gunn, commander of the tank “Lulubelle,”| and also leader of a pathetic but| sturdy group of Allied fighters lost | in the desert, Bogart has many scenes that are actually breath-| taking. And this time instead of a mere revolver, belaying pin or| sawed-off shotgun, he has a regular arsenal at his command, up to and including a 75 mm. gun, the! mainstay of his beloved tank. The story of “Sahara” is n] strange snga of war in the desert.| Alhes Keep Advancmg Up lfalian Coast ROME, June 20.—Allied torces,‘ it haveentevea peragia, BUNDLES FOR HOONAH CAMPAIGN IS NOW ON major communications center, 7'.!‘ miles airline southeast of Florence and 85 miles north of Rome, after | the German position was weakened ' Mrs. R.
