(Unlted Press Stan COrrcSpo on0entl
 Brindisi, Italy, Sept. % - (UP) = Refugees reaching here from Rome said today that the Germans shelled the center of the eternal city after agreeing to occupy only the outskirts, and then moved into the whole city after fighting with Italians who suffered considerable casualties.
 The refugees, some of whom held offlcial positions, left Rome imme- diately after the German occupation and walked most of the way.
 The fighting began the night of September when the Germans en- tered the suburbs. They were met by Italian machine gun and rifle fire. Scattered street fighting continued all night. Next day the Italian commander reached an agreement with the Germans under which the Germans were to remain around Rome but would not enter the city proper.
 one ofncial said almost as soon as the agreement became known, the Germans broke 1t by starting to enter the city, and fighting re- suIned."

Politics Are A War Worry
By HARRISON SALISBURY

By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 London, Sept. 2S-(UP)-Adniral Lord Louis Mountbatten's East Asia command today appeared to face military and political dif1culties of unprecedented character.
 The basic military difnculties were expected to yield readily to massed Allied air, land and sea forces once victory in Europe en- ables full deployment of Allied strength against Japan. The poli- tical problems, however, were ex- pected to require extreme states manship.
 The political issues center around three main subjects: The China war theater led by Generalissirno Chiang Kai-she the southwest Pa ciflc theater under Gen. Douglas McArthur and the domestic situ. ation in India.
 Mountbatten's command theoret- ically does not include India but his headquarters are to be estab. lished initially in New Delhi and India naturally Is primary base of operations. The gravest compli- cation to Mountbatten's command is the political and economic situ- ation in India.
 He will be in the position of or ganizing Q big offensive drive and of drawing on India for huge sup. plies of manpower at moment when India is not only politically apathetic toward the war but in many ways bitterly resentful of the British.
 The problem relating to Chang Is regarded as being largely diplo- matte. The Chinese long have been dissatisfied with the comparative smallness of Allied aid. Suggestions from Chungking that 1ndo-China and Thialand should be retained in Chiang's theater are believed to re. fleet Chinese desire for the largest possible share in the offensive against Japan.
 MacArthur's reaction appears to be similar to the Chinese.
 Both reactions are not expected to affect the military development of the East Asia theater, however, though one of Mountbatten's ini- tial tasks will be to establish the closest liaison with the Chinese and MacArthur.

Cuss the issue.
City council had been asked by

Since the request was made Sher-
wood Reeder. director OF the federal
housing authority for this area, dis
closed that the new federal trailer
camp will be ready for use within a
few weeks. making removal Of trail
ers to Ypsilanti impractical.
The group which met Monday
night also found other considera-

from trailers within the city. Main
factors cited were overerowding of
school facilities. fire hazards, lack
OF disposal for garbage, dishwater.
and other refuse, overlooking OF
utilities, and health considerations.
