CHRISTMAS MEANS
LITTLE in ITALY
Continued from Page One)

With Mount Samucro in their
hands the Americans hold high
ground due east of San Vittore
and about a mile and a half north
west of ruined San Pietro on the
road to Casino where the rolling
valley leading to Rome would give
the Fifth Army opportunity to use
armored equipment.
The location of the other at
tack was not disclosed. A military
commentator at Allied headquar-
tiers said operations still were in
progress amid continuing rain.
The Americans stornned numer-
GUS dug in machinegun emplace-
ments on the sides of Mount Sa-
mucro before Selling control Of
the strategic slope.
Along the entire front patrols
were active. On Christmas Eve
patrols from the Fifth Army pene.
trated German lines and destroy
ed large enemy ammunition
dump west of Rocca.
Operations along the Eighth Ar.
my front were hampered by rain
and stormy weather. Troops in
the central sector consolidated
gains made in the previous "a
hours.
The bitter struggle for Ortona
went on with Canadians still striv-
ing to dislodge stubborn Nazi de-
tenders from one corner of the
town where their tanks were i'm
bedded in ruins. The Germans
have been ordred to hold on at
all costs. Nazi troops were dying
rather than retreating.
All sections of the landing in
stallations at Ortona have been
blown up in the course of the bit
ter fighting.
1t was disclosed at headquarters
here that the famous British Gre
nader Guards, of which Crown
Princess Elizabeth is honorary
colonel, were in action on the Ital-
ian front up to Dec. 7.
The squirt in aerial activity came
after heavy bombers of the 18th
American Air Force had been
grounded three days by bad wealth
er. Carrying on their work of
disrupting rail lines carrying sup
plies from Germany to the Ital-
ian front at every opportunity, the
bombers left only the eastern coart
line open after their damaging as
saults on the central line at Boil
zano and the west coast line at
Pisa.
Light bombers operating ahead
OF the Fifth Army front bombed
a bridge at Pontecervo near Cas-
sino but other tactical flights in
this section were washed out by
bad weather.

declared two bombers were shot
down.
The American raid yesterday on
the Northwest German targets was
the second of the week for the
daytime precision bombardiers. The
first, against Huls Tuesday, was
the initial American venture into
the Ruhr.
The enemy was made to pay dearly
in yesterdays attacks. Fortresses

Terrific Opposition.
Back at their bases, the Americans
almost unanimously described fight
er opposition as terrific. They esti-
mated thai the Germans sent up
almost 200 fighters of all types.
The Focke-Wulf and Messer-
schmitt pilots pressed home their
attacks with almost suicidal ferocity.
They would come at us two and
three abreast and barrel roll through
our entire formation with their guns
going like hell" one crewman re-
ported.
Flax was heavy. too, and once
more the Germans tried to bomb the
tight-flying American heavies from
JU-88 fighter -bombers.
The civilian population of the
Ruhr was reported getting out fast.
From Bern, Switzerland, came in
formation from a reliable source
that an organized removal of nom
essential workers and residents al
ready had taken between 100000
and 100000 persons to safer areas,
with the project still going on.
Meanwhile, the Air Ministry News
Service reported that the Germans
had strengthened their outer ring
of air defenses on the North Sea
coast, presumably in an attempt to
keep raiders away from the ruins
of the Ruhr. The experience of the
American bombers yesterday ap-
peared to confirm this, many crews
