German winter line in Italy today
and drove the beaten Nazis in re-
treat toward Rome, as official anc
unofficial reports from the middle
East indicated that plans for the
final destruction of both German
and japanese military powers were
in the making at a series Of wal
conferences among the United Ma
ticnS leaders.
Nazi forces were reported counter.
attacking in great strength all along
the Russian front, but Moscow in
dicated that the Germans were suf-
fering disastrous losses that must
soon force them to resume their re-
treat to the west.
= In Italy, however, Gen. Sir Ber-
nard L. Mont9omeryS veterans had
the NaZis on the run after a savage
four-day battle in which casualties
ran high ON both sides. The Imper-
ials surged forward three miles a
long the coastal road to Pescara and
captured the town of Rocca San
Giovanni.
German rear-guarcS battled for
every yard of the way and strewed
tllei- line of retreat with mines, but

Word of that meeting came in the
wake of an official announcement
that Roosevelt and Churchill had
met with Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek in Cairo and pledged the
Chinese leader that Japan would be
defeated in the shortest possible
time and stripped OF all her war
won empire.
While speculation ran high that
the Roosevelt Churchill Stain con-
ference might produce new plans for
a second front in Europe, informed
observers believed the time table for
the continental assault already had
been fixed and that the conferees
would deal primarily with measures
for maintaining the peace after
Germany's defeat,
A London report said the three
leaders would map out plan to
Quarantine" Germany and saddle
her manpower. raw materials and
industrial facilities with the post
war reconstruction of Europe.
