He agreed with the general Italian
opinion that the King failed in his
duty by permitting the Fascists to

Regency Believed Acceptable.
Croce said he believed a regency
would be acceptable to the ma ajority
of Italians, while admitting that the
industrial masses of Northern Italy
showed a tendency toward so
cialism and Communism.
However, he pointed out that a
regency would not mean an end to

King Victor's abdication would be
a prerequisite to the creation of a
regency.
Croce cited two Italian precedents
for this. however, naming Kings

Other Italians said that if the
King attempts to retain his throne
he will have the powerful though
invisible support of former Fascists
who amassed wealth and property
under Benito Mussolini and whose
only hope of retaining their fortunes

Pontime Marshes
Flooded by Nazis
TO Protect Rome
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN 5th
ARMY IN ITALY, Oct. 20 De-
laye6 The Germans have flood
ed 10 square miles of the famous
Pontine marshes near Rome which
Benito Mussolini reclaimed in his
plan to give land to the people.
This was but one of the many
obstacles the tightening German de-
fense was preparing for Rome, which
may be expected to fall this year,
but only after many bloody battles
are fought across Central Italy.
Rugged mountains stand before
the American 5th and British 9th
Armies. South of the Apennines
there are only two routes of ap-
proach to Rome, and both are
dominated by towering mountains
which must be swept clean of the
enemy before troops can advance in
the valleys.
Cold and heavy rains already are
Vic ftlliy
of combat and supply. Chilling au-
tumn winds are adding to soldier
discomfort.
Nevertheless, the 5th Army is
keeping up steady pressure against
the Germans in the Upper Volturno
River region. Once through the
Upper Volturno line, the Allies will
force the Germans to fall back be-
hind the flooded Garigliano River
line, which may be hinged on the
ancient city Of Casino.
The present series OF attacks is
swinging like hinge to the west
against Mount San Croce, a 3000-
foot extinct volcano overlooking the
Garigliano Valley With Allied
control of the volcano, the Ger
mans would be forced back to pro-
tect their flank.
Once through the Garigliano line
the Allies can then begin their di-
rect drive on Rome. A western
highway swings down to skirt the
sea at Formia. Mountains over
look the road, giving the Germans
control of this approach. Once
past Formia, the highway swings
inland through hills and then dips
again to the sea at Terracina, 20
miles from Formia-another critical
bottleneck-but beyond there the
road leads direct to Rome along the
old Appian Way.
