Partisan Force Repe|!
Sixth German Drive
Within 13 Days
BY the Associated Press,

LONDON, Dec. 18.-The Yugo.
slav Partisan Army declared today
1t had smashed back the sixth Ger.
man offensive thrown against it in
13 days and had mounted a counter
offensive of its own as Allied aeria,
eouadrons gathered overhead in its
support.
From Montenegro northward to
Bosnia and Croatia, the YugoSlav
columns of Marshal Josip Bro7
fTito) reported they were slowly
thrusting forward against heavy
enemy tank and infantry forces, and
the Germans loosed a maximum OF
terror upon the countryside.
Earlier Yugoslav reports the Nazis
were looting and burning in some
areas were broadened by a declara-
ton by the Free Yugoslav radio that
terrorism and violence against the
civilian population had become gen.
eral and that in a ring of villages
southeast of zagreb the invaders
mad killed the entire populations
mcIudlng women and children.
Boats Supply Partisans.
Failure of the sixth German effort
to beat back the Partisans was re-
hected not alone by these new
horrors but also by these reports !:
The Yugoslav government-in-
exile, rival to Marshal Tito's group,
declared that Hans Neubacher, a
new special German envoy In the
Balkans, was in Budapest negotiat-
ing with the Hungarians over
their proposal to withdraw Hungar-
ian troops from the Russian front
and send them into Yugoslavia.
Coupled with this was an asser-
tion that the Cairo governments
forces, under Gen. Draja Mihailo-
Vich. themselves had taken the field
against the Germans in some areas
Radio France at Algiers told of
sWarns OF little Allied craft daily
crossing the Adriatic under protec-
tion OF torpedo boats and Allied
planes to take supplies and weapons
to the Yugoslavs.
The German radio itself gave some
indication of the scope of the Yugo-
slav operations by claiming that in
the nrst half of December. 2,1ss
Yugoslav bandits" were killed and
3,341 captured.
Rising Allied air action more than
any other factor was responsible for
an endless train of speculation that
Allied invasion of the Balkans was
In preparation.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,s
headquarters in Italy announced that
IN the Allied air patrol over Yugo-
slavla and nearby Albania, seven
planes had been shot down for a
two-day total of l3.

Gen. McSherry, AMG Officer,
Captured Naples Almost Alone

Preceded Troops
Into City
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.

AMG HEADQUARTERS, Italy
Practically single-handed an Ameri-
can brigadier general captured
Naples.
When 1t. Gen. Mark w. Clark
commander of the 5th Army, called
for the surrender of the city, the
mayor and other functionaries who
came out to comply with the for
malitieS were accompanied, as
though it were matter of routine,
by Brig. Gen. Frank j. McSherry
Of Washington. ranking American
officer of the Allied Military Gov
ernment setup in Italy.
Gen. McSherry, with his driver
and a small group of officers, ac-
tually had been in the city for some
time conferring with the public of
ficials. Officially, at least, they were
the only Allied soldiers there. When
it was apparent that resistance in
Naples was about to cease, Gen. Nc
Sherry determined to get there as
quickly as possible, before records
could be destroyed and ordered his
car driven past American columns
proceeding slowly along the roads.
Passed Advance Guard.
AT the outskirts of Naples they
found the last American unit halted
while officers were trying to de-
termine whether it was likely to
meet any resistance If it pushed on.
He ordered his driver to continue
into the supposedly hostile city and
inquired of people along the streets
the way to the City hall. His pres
ence didn't seem to excite much
surprise.
When he introduced himself to
the mayor as an American general,
he was greeted enthusiastically and
asked to please remove immediately
2000-pound time bomb which the
retreating Germans had placed in
one of the city's chief hotels. Had
it gone off it would doubtless have
wrecked the building completely
The Italians were afraid to fool
with it.
They apparently thought T was
going to pick it up and carry it out
myself" Gen. McSherry says. II
didn't feel quite equal to the task.
Fortunately some American enpi-
neers arrived in plenty of time to
remove the timing apparatus and
get the bomb out of the way before
any damage was done"
This is only one of the colorful
exploits credited to AMG officers
mostly former lawyers, bankers and
public officials in the United States
and Great Britain-who the people
at home probably think have the
safest jobs of the war. Actually
they have one of the most perilous.
They are always among the first to

Several Officers Wounded.
They went into MeSsina, for ex-
ample, just behind the first patrols
and were the only men in uniform
in the city for five nights while it
was being shelled heavily from
across the straits. In the Italian
campaign to date six AMG officers
have been decorated with Purple
Hearts for wounds received in &C
ton and one has received the Silver
Star. One has been lost and pre-
sumably is German prisoner.

aircraft fire the other day. His aide

The Science Of
Naming Pullman
Cars

A n endless number Of gags
IA have been pulled about
Y y the names that appear
on the sides of Pullman cars, but
not many people know about the
tremendous amount of research
that is done by the railways be-
fore a car gets christened
Originally all Pullmans were
referred TO by number only but
the system had 10 be given up
because it conficted with the
regular railroad car designations.
A systematic plan of names
was then adopted and a special
series was devised SO railwaymcn
could tell car accommodations at
a glance.
All Pullman names. for ex-
ample, that are preceded by
Mt" or Mountain" are obser-
walton cars and have 10 sections.
Cars in the Lake" series con-
tain 10 sections, a drawing room,
and two compartments while
those named for Points" like
Point Hope, are dissection, two
drawing room cars
Because OF the thousands of
Pullmans in service on America s
big railroads, careful checks have
TO be made TO see 90 IL that no
two cars bear the same name.
Years ago when the Pullman
Company bought out the Wagner
Sleeping Car Company, it was
found that 300 Wagner cars bore
names duplicated among the Pull
mans. A wholesale rechristening
of Wagner cars took place. Since
then there's been no duplication.
