it is the Adriatic coastal area that
has been the historic route of
armies invading Italy. Most such
armies have come from the north
but the Eighth Army is reversing
this direction on the conqueror s
highway.
The Adriatic coastal road leads
to the Emilian way, running into
the heart of the Pc valley. There
are no high mountains there such
as would face the Fifth Army
north Of Rome, but the Germans
surely would not leave this door
into the strategic Pc valley open,
and undoubtedly are planning a
stand somewhere between the For
tore river and Rimini. where the
Pc valley opens like fan.

weather grounded large part OF
the Allied air fleets. out American
fighter bombers hit enemy trans

One Allied officer said the with
drawing Germans were employing
system of backward hops with
the longest possible delay between
each leap. Enemy units hold their
positions as long as they can and
retreat only 10 escape annlhllat1on.
Innumerable small pockets of de-
termined men were left behind to
delay the Allied armies.
The Fifth Army met its fiercest
opposition on its right wing, and
along the west coast. In the cen
trail sector there was less resist
ance. The Eighth Army had much
easier going than the Fifth in this
area and along the Adriatic. al
though both had to wipe out enc
my pockets in brisk fighting.
There are as yet no details on
how far north of Naples British
armor has progressed, but it IS
understood that the advance there
has been relatively slow against
German rearguards pushed up the
coast from Naples.
Destruction of a number of self
propelled German 88millimeter
guns was reported.
The German communique, broad
cast by the Berlin radio, said there
was only slight activity in Italy,
with the Allies following Nazi rear
guards retreating to the northwest.
In northern Corsica, it added, the
Germans repulsed attacks by Ital-
ian troops, guerrillas, and French
Moroccan units.
With yesterdays advance, the Al
lies gained control of the main wa

dist, and laramie, whose water
supply had been reduced to dan

Berlin broadcasts also indicated

The fall of Staro-Tamanskaya in

FINSCHHAFEN LOSS
HITS JAP DEFENSE
Continued From Page One)

A forced withdrawal by the en-
envy to Madang as a result OF
Allied domination of the Huon pen
insula through the occupation OF
Finschhafen would mean abandon
ing nearly $50 miles of coast
virtually the entire New Guinea
shoreline of Vitiaz strait.
AWareness of this eventually on
the part of the japanese COM
mand may have dictated the
fierce resistance put up by the
Finschhafen garrison in the week
before it was overrun Saturday.
AS against the comparative col
lapse and flight of the much
stronger enemy force at Lac, seiz-
ed some two weeks earlier, the
Japanese marines at Finschhafen
fought almost to the last man be-
fore bowling to the Australians
bristling bayonets.
The campaign to eliminate the
enemy from the 75-mile wide
Huon gulf, began June 80 with the
landing of Allied forces at Nassau
bay, on its southwestern shore.
Three Japanese bases were the
prime detectives, and each fell
in turn over the course of 20 days.
Salamaua, most southerly of the
three, was the first to be taken.
1t was invested September IL by
Joint forces moving northWard
along the coast and eastward
from inland positions.
Lac, 20 miles farther north, was
enveloped September 16 by air
borne forces moving down the
Markham valley to the northwest
and seaborne troops landed on the
shore of the gulf 20 miles to the
east.
The same pincers operations
then was applied against Finsch-
|hafen 80 miles east of Lac, and
that anchorage and air station
was overwhelmed October 2.
Describing the success of the
campaign against the enemy S
coastal holdings, General Mac
Arthur said in his communicate
that it was supported strongly by
a concurrent cross-country ad-
vance through interior New Gul-
nea in the direction of Madang
itself.
THE simultaneous air and
ground movement of 200 miles
from Port Moresby through the
center of inland New Guinea gives
us control of the entire Huon pen
insula," he commented.
1T was outflanked and contain
ed all enemy centers between Fins
chhafen and Madang and render
ed practically useless numerous
positions and installations along
the coast.

velopment caught the enemy COM
pletely by surprise and has re-
suited not only In the dislocatlon
of his grip on British New Gull
nea but has caused him large
losses with no compromising DAM
age inflicted on our own forces.
"Our losses have been extraor-

less than those available to the
enemy. but the element of sur
prise based upon the closely CO.
ordinated action of the three ele-
ments has prevented him from
concentrating at critical points.

says Harvey c. Fruehauf, Detroit manu. fncturer of truck-tratlers, In other words, if manufacture can take place near the source of material supply, then it is pos sihle to carry on straight-llne production. The automotive Industry has been Shin- ing example of this tendency, and, oddly enough, has not only been able to produce more economically because of it, but has also increased its own market by build ing purchasing power and speeding the building of highways. These highways have, In turn, brought an increased de- mand for both passenger and commer- cial vehicles. Other industries have learned that decentralization increases purchasing power, promotes stability and creates better balance between agrtcul- ture and industry. A complete analysis of the benefits of this trend could fill large volume. Mir. Fruehauf knows the subject as well as any man, and his opin- ions carry weight, He says: Ut is quite common in the automotive field for 30 per cent or more of the car or truck to be built by outside firms" and he adds:
 "A large automobile manufactures will purchase from every state in the Union: In our own business, widely scattered plants actually handle total of 5B.1 per cent of the total dollar volume of Frue- hauf truck-trailer production, and this percentage is growing. A recent check up shows that total of well over 1000 manufacturers in 36 states supply pro- cessed or fabricated material to the six Fruehauf plants across the country.
 "The passage by Congress of the Small Ter War Plants Corporation Act is an of- ficial endorsement of the decentralization trend which the automotlve industry can justly claim to have made possible. This is true, because without motor vehicles there would be no highway transporta- ton, and without highway transporta- tion industrial plants would have to be centralized along railroad lines. With our present network of highways there need no longer be any isolated regions in our country"

THE WAY TO SAVE YOUR
 MONEY
(New Haven Journal Courierl

NANCW kAdfCn OOuAAAuA~OOuAACtk
 The war is costing the federal government $2O0 million a day. The chiefs-of-staH = Admirals King and Lahey, Generals Arnold and Mar shall are insisting that the wea- pons of war be manufactured and delivered to the fighting fronts as fast as industry can do it. The Treasury is compelled to find the monley to pay for the military goods as they are produced. If we do not furnish our share of the money in this April bond drive. the Treasury will have to resort to other means, some of which are infiationary.
 one of these infiationary expedi. cnts is the sale of bonds to the commercial banks. This practice cree ates new money by the stroke of the pen. A non-infiationary and hence much solnder step is the sale of bonds to individuals. corporations. insurance companies and savings banks.
 So 1t is the duty. a duty that is enlightend self-interest. for individ- uaIs, businesses and savings banks to buy bonds to their limit during this Second War Loan campaign. The government will then not have to resort to inflationary borrowing, the consequence Of which will be to take away our dollars in higher prices. The choice we are faced with is this: Do we prefer to lend our dollars or lose them through infia- toni
