Having fought their way to the

the road to Rome, doughboys from

slowly pushed down the slopes
toward the fatlands around the en-
emy's key bastion Of Casino.
But in this sector. as well as the
British sector along the Adriatic
coast to the east. the Nazis bitterly
counter-attacked. throwing in strong
armored forces against Gen. Ber-
nard Montgomery's men in an eff
fort to slow his march toward the
important center of P~escara, with
its highway leading eastward to
Rome.
AS General Clark's doughboys
edged forward, they left scattered
points of resistance behind them,
necessitating further action to re-
move these hot-beds and secure their
lines. Continuing action. the Allies

Freshmen will be admitted in both July and No- vember.

STASSEN TO 50 IN THE NAVY

ak, Paul, Mlnn. April E-(UpDA@ Oov, Harold E. Htagsen Of Minnea sota--at s6 tho nationB youngase governor-wln lay aside his polite cal ambitions late in April O be- come . navy oilcer for tho dura~ ton.
 ssassen has been mentioned as . possible Republican presidential candidate but the governor hes ruled himself out.
 fIe says he will stay In the Navy for the duration. And he does not expect the war to end before the loAA elections,
 fn going on active duty as c lleu- tenant commander In the naval re- serve, Stassen will leave of5lce after serving only four months Of his third term As governor. He VIII DO succeeded for the balance of his two.year term by It. Gov. I'd Thye.
 Taae exact date for Stasser's start of navy duty has not been disclosed. but in announcing his plans 6 year ago the governor said he expected to be called immediately after the end of the lo4S session of the Mifl- nesota legislature. This session will end April 2l, and Stassen probably will 20 on active duty soon after.
 stassen has denied reports that he will be assigned to the Secretary of the Navy's stan and has sni0 that he expects to "take orders just like any other naval man."
 Urges Postwar Plan
 Since the start of his third term In January Stassen has kept scores of speaking engagements advocating his plan for c United Nations of the World after the war.

FOUR-MAN PLANT

Connecticut Man Converts TwO.Car Garage Into
 War Machine Shop

 Cos Cob, Conn, April 7.-(UP)- Harold c. Powers, who converted Q two-car garage into machine shoE of such production efficiency as to win an Army-Navy "E" slipped a glass of his wife's prune juice today and explained the workings of his four-inan plant.
 We operate on Q one-shift basis" !" he said. We get to work at 7:30 in the morning and we stay on the job until we can't stand any long, CT. We've been averaging IS hours a day for the last two weeks"
 The hours apply to Powers, his wife, and two full-time employees. Two other workers are high school boy, who comes in after classes at { D. m, and works until 10, and milkman who works the same shift as the boy after his milk route has been covered. Mrs. Powers handles "the traffic." answering telephones, diverting callers who might inter- rupt work, and taking messages while her husband is away deliver ing machine tool parts to. the Vought- -Sikorsky Division of United Aircraft Corp, Brewster Aeronautic Corp, and Eastern Aircraft.
 Three or four times c day Mrs. Powers bustles into the shop with pineapple or prune juice from the brown -shingled bungalow next door.
 "It's the only recreation they get" ]" she explained, "hli6 it keep ti.eih healthy. We haven't had any sick ness at all, even during the winter. They don't get colds"
 Powers agreed that he wasn't troubled by absenteeisTn.
 They're wonderful fellows, every one of them," he said. T don't know what we'd do if a man laid off even for one day. We'd just fall so far behind we'd never catch up. We don't care about money. We just want to get the work out"
 The shop turns out parts for the machine tools used to fashion airplanes. particularly wings. such as tweezer yokes. bucking bars, riv- eting anvils. pneumatic hammer jaws,, reamers. and hinge pins for wing locations. Yesterday Powers got an order which will keep him busy for the next two months. He has started letting out work for Cos Cob to do in their homes.
 One of these workers came in and Powers loaded him down with ma terlals.
 They're in c jam for these.'' he told the worker. They've got to have them right away. told them we'd break our legs. 90 break one leg anyway"
 He turned to the interviewer and said:
 i've got everybody around here crazy, including myself. Even my oldest boy, Richard, who Is n, works. He sweeps out the shop and keeps the machines clean"

 It was this type Of comment that refuted the doughboy waliflowers who watched the proceedings with disdain and summed up: "They must think Americans are crazy"
 It's unlikely that the British should think the square dance crazy. It stems in the first place from the dances and music which early English colonists brought with them to the American South. Now the Tanks have brought 1t back to England.
 As "Stars and Stripes" put It: Reverse lease-lend again."
