Cassino is at the foot of another mountain mass seven miles northnorthwest of the Fifth Army's advance units, at the other side of a broad valley. The Nazis have had a long time in which to prepare deep defenses. Every little ridge has been converted into a heavily-gunned strongpoint, back to and even beyond Cassino and on either side of the Rome highway.

Swift exploitation of a breakthrough from the mountains appeared impossible for Clark's forces. In companion drives from the north side of the key valley, American troops overcame fierce German resistance to capture ground west of Venafro, and still further, pillboxes inland west smashed of a line Filignano, of headquarters reported. Don Whitehead, Associated Press correspondent with Clark's army, said U. S. infantry attacked at dawn after a night-long artillery bombardment of German positions to win an important height north of Mignano which overlooked enemy emplacements in that vicinity.

"The infantry waves going into battle for the hill positions were hampered morning mists and which kept them from seeing the German positions and the artillery from laying observer Whitehead related. "The overcast was so bad that the force was unable to give them air support. attacked, cover of "Twice counterothe undermans fog, but the Americans beat them off and continued pushing forward, sometimes directly into the face of enemy machinegun and mortar fire. The men had little cover on the open, bare slopes of the hill, and a gain of 700 yards in one day's fighting is no mean job in view of the importance of the advance. Never have American troops in this theater been called on to do such hard, bitter, exhausting fighting Whitehead quoted a gray-haired, unnamed brigadier general as declaring that the struggle of Clark's troops up the mountains in recent days was one of the greatest achievements of infantry in this war.

"In some places the troops had to pull themselves up the slope by means of a rope tied to trees or rocks." the general said. "No one can imagine the terrain without climbing it himself.

there is a Santa Claus, and wears the uniform of a U'nited States fighting Marine. Air mail brought to the Tampa Tribune a letter from, the South Pacific containing $11 with the request that the city editor buy one fortunate Tampa woman a bouquet of roses and another a $5 box of chocolates. The city editor scratched his head and mumbled something about priorities and shortages, but there's one Marine who may be assured his orders will be filled to the letter if humanely possible. "There is no florist near this South Pacific isle," the Marine wrote, "and no candy, so I am enclosing $10 (it was $11) hoping that you will make all arrangements to have the flowers and candy sent." The money, yellow and almost brittle, perhaps with the sweat of a man dealing out death to his country's. enemies, was in bills.

Tito's communique announced the railway had been widely cut and all rail communication in the Solvenian coastland had been 1 brought to a standstill. Claiming the new German offensive in Bosnia was costing the Nazis heavily in men, the communique reported the Yugoslavs had launched an offensive of their own in the India sector in Slovenia, 23 miles from Ljubljana, and the site of Europe's second largest mercury mines. It was in this area that the partisans claimed to have smashed German rail lines.

Montgomery's Eighth Army fought through downpours to improve its positions in the Orsogna area, but official reports did not indicate any important gains. Seizure of prisoners from German alpine units in the Apennines gave evidence that the German command had sent in reinforcements of trained mountain fighters to supplement other fresh divisions already thrown into the coastal zone.

9. (P)- Senator Ellison D. (Cotton Smith shouted in the Senate Thursday that Senator. Harry F. Byrd nominated for President on a Southern Democratic ticket and called on the people of the South to organize a party behind the Virginian "and get one decent man in office." Speaking before a crowded Senate, the South Carolinian, veteran of 35 years' service, answered assertions by Senator Guffey (D-Pa) that Southern Democrats under the leadership of Byrd had joined in an "unholy alliance" Republicans to kill the Administration's servicemen's vote last week.

Smith, his voice rising to a shout. asserted without naming Guffey that these charges had been made "by those we wouldn't recognize as being Democrats in the South." Declaring that Southerners had "made possible the election of a gang that is now disgracing the party," Smith said he endorsed a previous suggestion by Senator Bailey (D-NC) that the Southerners form an independent party of their own and attempt to wield the balance of power in the electoral college.
