izing Allied artillery barage that
forced them to disperse.
Official reports said the Germans
have rushed the 362nd Infantry di-
vision from northern Italy to the
beachhed perimeter, increasing their
strength there to 10 divisions. Not
all these units were believed to be in
full strength, but it was understood
that about 100000 Nazi troops
most of them battle tested veterans
now faced the 5th Army invaders.
Clearing skies brought Allied
fighters and f1ghter-bombers out
over the beachhead in force yes
terday and enemy troop concentra-
tions, gun positions and road lines
were bombed and strafed heavily.
Only four German planes were
spotted in the entire battle area
yesterday.
Other Allied warplanes hit enemy
shipping of the Dalmatian coast
and the west coast of Italy and
bombed German airf1eld at Fab
RIGA Di Roma, north Of Rome.
American Flying Fortresses, sup
plementing the heavy attack into
Austria, struck at oil refinerieS in
Fiume and set big fires raging
throughout the target area.
The tempo Of battle also quick
ened on the main 5th Army front
around Casino where the Germans
struck unsuccessfully against
French positions one and one-half
miles east of Terrelle.
Active Skirmishing also was re-
ported in the hills above Casino
and in the mountains west Of Cairo
village, where British troops i'm
proved their positions on Mount
Castellone.
The entire Casino area was
blanketed, however, by a seven-inch
snowfall that turned into a sea Of
slush and mud when a quick thaw
set in.

for rest"
Early explained that it was not
feasible for William D. Hassett, new
ly appointed White House Secretary,
or other members Of the White
House staff who are with the pres
ident, to issue any news. He said
that If either Hassett or any other
accredited staff member made a
statement to the correspondents, it
would be recognized as coming from
a competent authority and there
fore subject to publication under the
censorship code.
Thus President Ro oseyelt's
whereabouts would be revealed to
the world" Early said. Let's not
forget that this is wartime, and that
the question of security Is involved.
The newspaper code recognizes
these questions Of security. We will
comply with the code and give Pres
ident Roosevelt the security to which
he is entitled and will not reveal his
whereabouts"
Early said that 1t was only right
to point out that the correspondents
who left Washington unlimited to
travel to q point nearby the pres
ident's abode" did not advise his Of
flee in advance of their departure.
"This was in the. face of the fact
that they had been told before the
president left Washington that he
was going away for rest and would
have no appointments" Early said
'"The President is in instantaneous
and immediate communication with
the White House. Developments

he had been oussed by an armed
revolt.
One Of the first acts Of the Revo-
lutionists was to Dust Col. Emilio
Ramirez, no relation to the presi-
dent but one OF his supporters, as
police chief of Buenos Aires. He was
replaced by Col. Filomeno Velasquez,
who took immediate measures to
suppress any Pro-Ramirez move

Goes Pro-Axis

early today although it was under
stood that some units of the army
still were loyal to Ramirez.
Ramirez, who succeeded General
Arturo Rawson as president Of the
republic 60 hours after the revolu-
ton Of last JUNE in which Presi-
dent Ramon s. Castillo was ousted,
signed the resignation, with the
space for his successors name left
blank, at his home in Olives, a
suburb of BuenoS Aires.
The first version of the resigna-
ton said it was made "due to the
imposition of circumstances" but
the leaders of the coup demanded
that the wording be changed and a
second resignation was written de-
claring that Ramirez was leaving
the presidency because Of I'LL
health.
(There was no elaboration of the
Montevideo report that the Presi-
dents signed "at gun point" but Bue-
nos Aires reported that the resigna-
ton was first demanded by a group
of Army officers who called at his
home and that after he signed, the
presidential residence was surround
ed by troops and police.)
Last Axis Effort
Diplomatic quarters interpreted
the coup as last effort by the axis
to keep base in the western Hem
isphere for espionage operations
against the Allies. 1t was believed
that by designating Farrell presi-
dent, the Junta hoped to support an
allegation that it was a normal con-
stitutional succession. thereby re-
tanning the diplomatic recognition
of the other American republics.
A high diplomatic source here
said American diplomatic represen-
tatitives in Montevideo probably
would meet tomorrow to study the
question of diplomatic recognition
Of the revolutionary government.
The phrase in Ramirez's resigna-
ton delegating power to Farrell pa
parently was an attempt to stave off
the question of recognition, a ma
neuver which will not be successful
according to this source.
Reports from BuenoS Aires said
that diplomatic representatives OF
the United States, Brazil and Chile
in the Argentine capital had con-
tended that the new government
would not be recognized by the
American republics.
The swiftness with which the
Army clique acted prevented Rami-
rez from turning the government
over to the Argentine supreme court,
as he had been reported ready to do
last week. or from announcing that

Congress Gets Plan
To Cut Tariffs, Lend
More Money Abroad
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A postwar plan to step up foreign
trade by whiting tariffs and lend
ing more American money abroad
came before Congress today.
Stacy May, former War Produc-
tion Board official, who is chairman
of the International Policy Commit
tee of the National Planning Asso-
citation, was the first scheduled wit
ness to offer his groups recommen-
dations to the House Postwar Com
mittee.
The report, published yesterday by
the private organization, calls for
an annual 0,000,00o,O0O in exports
by about the year 1850 in order to
help this country achieve full peace
time production with 600OO,O 900 Jobs
"a goal which the association be-
lieves is possible.
1t declares this volume of exports
can be reached only if the United
States gets the necessary dollars into
the hands of foreign buyers-and
this means buying their goods as
never before.
Fight Is Expected.
Attacks on the proposal are re-
sarded as certain William L. Bait,
chairman of the Planning Associa-
ton, told reporters the document
sticks its neck out" by making spe-
ciflc recommendations, and is
'bound to be shot at"
The report advocated systematic
and gradual reduction of tariffs, and
suggested $4,000 100000 a year of
long-term American investments in
foreign countries.
The loans will be vital at first. but
they can't continue indefinitely, it
was asserted. Eventually the United
States must import more than it
exports so that other countries can
get enough dollars not only to pay
for our goods, but to pay back their
loans.

Six Recommendations Made.
To lend foreigners the capital to
develop their economies and pay for
American goods, the committee rec
commended:
l. American support for the in
ternational bank for reconstruction
and development, proposed at the
Breton Woods monetary conference
last summer, and enlargement of
this institution beyond present
plans.
2. Strengthening of the Export
Import Bank and the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp so they can bet
ter underWrite private investments
abroad
3. Establishment of foreign in
vestment commission" in the Gov
ernment to coordinate informa-
ton and exercise general supervision
over foreign investments.
4. Large-scale, long-term Govern
ment loans to foreign countries
when private capital can't be found.
5. Removal of all purely mega
tive" restrictions on foreign loans.
such as the Johnson Act.
s. American support for IAN ade-
quate international exchange sta
bilization mechanism" (This section

for stabilizing money exchange, but

posed at Breton Woods.)
