Immunity For Rome

President Roosevelt is right about the pos.
sble bombing of Rome. If the city is turned
into battle-ground, the blame will rest upon
the Germans who have turned it into a mill.
tary center, hiding behind its religious and
cultural monuments for which they have nc
consideration save as shield, while they use
it as camp and storehouse for military
supplies. Their claim that they have not oc.
cupied the city is disproved by the fact that
German anti aircraft guns blazed away last
night at high flying Allied warplanes passing
over the city.
The way to save Rome from destruction is
for the Germans to move out, lock, stock, and
barrel. If they do not, any damage to Rome S
monuments and churches will be traceable
directly to their failure to do so. Rome can
not be an enemy fortress and escape some
measure Of destruction.
For our part we cannot think that st. Peters
is entitled to greater immunity than West
minister Abbey or Canterbury cathedral or
the smallest chapel in Coventry, all Of which
were subjected to German fire when Goering
was sending the Luftwaffe over England night.

China's Development

It is the general opinion that President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill of
Great Britain do not see eye to eye on China S
place in the new world. Mr.. Roosevelt, in the
opinion Of many, would have China world
power when the war is over. While Mr.. Church
i'll is reported to have broadened his views
on Oriental affairs sine Singapore and the
troubles in India, he is still not prepared to 60
all the way with the Chief Executive at Wash
ington.
This is but one Of a number of differences
that may make the peace highly complicat-
ed proposition. Roosevelt and Churchill have
been closer than brothers in their war plan
ming. They are liable to be at odds on many
problems concerning postwar policies and af-
fairs.
For this reason it is perhaps fortunate,
certainly it is hopeful, that group in this
country has already launched a program for
expanded trade between the United States and
China in which mutual benefits are stressed.

China American Council of Commerce and

FOR HEROIC HEARTS

We take refuge in Thy greatness
and goodness, O Father in heaven,
as the burdens and needs and anx-
ieties OF war beset us. Sometimes
our hearts fail us, and our fears
seem to overmaster our faith. The
near-at-hand trials loom so large,
and cur glorious dreams seem so
far away and vague. Worry over
our absent dear ones presses down
upon our spirits like an intolerable
load. We look to Thee in suppli-
cation, foc only Thou canst help
us. We pray for heroic hearts.
Strengthen us by consciousness
Of Thine almighty strength, and of
Thy sure and constant love. We
and ours are in Thy fatherly keep

for Thine own inscrutable pur-
poses. So, serenely and steadily,
may we trust IN the Lord. Amen.

easy. We did pretty much what we wanted
without interference as long as we stayed
specifically within the law. We forgot a
whole lot about moral standards and spiritual
responsibilities, and nobody seemed to worry
over it. We got along fairly well for all our
laxities and indulgencies.
Then, with the impact Of war, we began
to ponder if perhaps we should not recast our
view to making post war America a better
land. The armed forces in particular have
been looking ahead and wondering what kind
Of a land they will come back to, when the
last gun is fired-wondering, too, what it is
that sustains them in the fight.
Roe Fulkerson, whose own special page is
an outstanding feature Of the Kiwanis Maya
zine, turns over much of the space thereon
in the current issue to what one man in serv-
ice thinks Of the America he hopes to live
in when the war is over. The writer has the
mature view OF man in middle life, perhaps
little older, but his view is as fresh as that
of any youngster in the service. We quote

But in the larger sense, is the America of
pre- war days the America we want to come
home to? Is anything SO perfect that it cannot
be improved? Had not per-war America de-
parted in some respects from the idea Of rug
ged individuality, Of freedom Of opportunity for
all? May we hope for nothing better than to
come back to the old America of paternalism,
Of unionism and RECOMMENDATION?

Wars Heaviest Bombing

The bombing Of Casino yesterday repre-
sented the greatest concentration Of fire on
restricted target thus far in this war. With
1,400 tons OF bombs rained upon an area of
less than one square mile, it must be obvious
that with clearing weather the campaign in
Italy is entering its most gruelling and, we
may believe, its final stage. For no sooner
had the bombers finished their job than the
artillery took over. However well the Germans
may be entrenched in Casino, they cannot
long withstand such whitening attack as start
ed with yesterdays dawn
The fall Of Cassino inevitable if this pound
ing is kept up, will mark a definite step
toward Rome-the Allied objective of this pro-
longed campaign. But it will not mark the
collapse Of German resistance on the approach
es to Rome. The enemy is strong in the inter-
vening hills. He had time to build pillboxes
and heavy gun emplacements while Badgolio
was lettering on the fence. He is prepared to
put up fight for every foot of soil north
ward from Casino to Rome.
But it will not be necessary for the part OF
the Fifth Army that takes Casino to travel
that whole road alone. The forces at the An
zio beachhead inevitably will break through
the enemy Gordon and unite with their fel.
lows for the final assault In the meantime
Allied air forces will continue to pound Ger
man communications and rail lines north OF
Rome on which the enemy has been bringing
in supplies from northern Italy and lombard
ing the beachhead from armored cars It is
reasonable Because the Allies have great su.
periorlty in the air in the Rome sector, to
expect lines will be put out of commission
quickly, if the present good weather holds.
If they are, the Germans will be unable
to service the forces attacking the beachhead
and resisting the Casino captors for any long
period, and without supplies they must capitu.
late or starve.
After being stalled for weeks, it appears al
last that the march on Rome may actually
have started.

By ERNIE PYLE

IN ITALY, -(by wireess)- I
heard a funny story about a DEM
onstration, back of the lines, of a
new type of rifle grenade.
It sci his a lot or high-ranking
officers were invited to the dem
onstrati6n, including generals and
colonies. Rows of chairs were
placed for them out in the open.
Then a soldier fired the new
grenade. It~landed about $50 yards
ahead of the officers, and failed to
go off. No sooner had it hit the
ground than big black dog,
doubtless with retriever blood in
him, dashed out, grabbed the gre
made in his mouth, and started
back toward the assembled brass.
They say YOU never saw such
a scramble as the visiting dig
nitaries made, getting out Of their
chairs and heading rapidly to the
rear. Fortunately the grenade was
so hot the dos had to drop it.
At last reports it still hadn't gone
off.
Speaking of dogs, the 47th Bomb
Group has more of them than any
outfit I've been with yet. It's hard
for an infantryman to take care
of a dog, but the Air Force men
are often based at the same field
for weeks or months, and can live
a sort of permanent life.
One of the soldiers was telling
about an order put out some
months ago by the doctors, re.
qui1ing that all dogs in camp be
shot. For some reason it was new
er carried out.
Then the soldier said, boy, I'd
like to see any doctor try to have
our dogs killed now, with this new
squadron commander we've got. -
He was referring to Lieut.. Col.
Reginald Clizbe. who is a dog man
himself. incidentally, Clizbe was a
major when we mentioned him a
few days ago, but now he has
gone up step.
Colonel Clizbe has a coal-black
Labrador retriever named Tarfu,
That's one of those mystic Air
Force names which you'll have to
get somebody else to explain to
you.
Colonel Clizbe got Tarfu in Eng
land when he was so tiny he car
ried him inside his shirt. Now he's
as big as a German shepherd. He
is wonderfully smart, and good
too. He is so black that Colonel
Clizbe can't even get good snap
