THE AXIS now has IN Sicily

The possibility still exists for
an AXIS attempt 70 stand along

military experts. the Italian
phase OF the war already is well
under way The bombing OF
Rome can be taken as a signal
of the Allies intention 10 push

Despite much public contro-

military considerations pre-

Rome's chief military use is
as transit point for military
traffic. both troops and sup

preparing an about assault on
Italy, Rome becomes a major
objective.
As long as the Allies were
not in a position TO carry on

there were other targets of
considerably more Importance.
