Ally Retreat
At Rapido

With the Fifth Army Before Cas-
sino, Jan. %. (UP)-Swimming and
form human chains American troops
retreated across the Rapido river
last night under murderous German
mortar and machine gun fire.
Today, stragglers still were sliding
down the rocky banks and trying to
swim the Swift-flowing icy-cold
stream where the Americans estab-
lished their bridgehead Friday night.
Some of them didn't make 1t.
The American troops retreated
only after their ammunition and
food supplies were exhausted ana
after a series of violent counter
attacks by fresh German troops had
splintered the thin American line.
The strong German defense from
log and stone pillboxes constructed
months ago, confirmed the belief
that the enemy high command cons
sidered the Casino area the key to
its entire line.
Those Americans who returned
told grim story Of their retreat.
"Our boys fought until they didn't
have bullet to shoot" 1t. Col. An-
dew Price, Of Fort Worth, Tex, n
divisional executive officer, said.

ticn or food, because German. guns
