Polish Troops Eager
For Revenge Battling
Nazis Near Casino
~ the Associated Press.

WITH THE POLISH ARMY IN
ITALY, May 15.-Polish troops who
have waited four years to battle the
Germans on a big scale again were
thrown against their old-time enc
mics at the opening of the offensive
against the Gustav Line last Thurs
day night and have been in the
thick of the fighting ever since.
Theirs was one of the most diff
cult of all sectors of this difficult
front.
The Germans facing them were
were the toughest of all the Ger
mans here-the first, or Green Devil,
Parachute Division. And to make
the task harder the Germans were
in the process Of relieving units as
the Poles attacked, which meant
they encountered the enemy in dou-
BILE strength.
Casino Guards Entrance.
The Polish attack came in the
almost impossible mountain sector
Just north of Casino and Monas-
terry Hill and they made their thrust
westward toward the Liri Valley. the
entrance Of which is guarded by the
stronghold of Casino.
In the spring months during
which the Allies were making their
gallant but fruitless frontal attacks
on Casino, such move never was
undertaken because it was con-
Sidered all but impossible.
AS they waited to go into battle
the Polish soldiers lay on rocky
ledges and slopes Of the Donofrino
region. Around them were the
corpses of American, British and
Indian soldiers who had fallen there
and could not be buried because
the place was under almost con-
tinual German fire. There was no
soil-only rock-and graves could
not be dug.
They moved tanks up these slopes,
so rough that not even a tank could
travel without engineers to make
q path for it.
Superior German Force.
They went into action against a
NJC1Ii 4OkSC, Sd&1lCO
first objectives and then were driven
back by the most furious counter
attack the Germans have yet
launched in this offensive.
Casualties were heavy on both
sides, heavier than anywhere else
on the italian front. The Poles
regrouped and went back into the
attack.
The fight is a desperate one with
fanatical Nazi paratroopers on one
side and thirsty Poles on
the other.
All these Polish troops are home
less and separated from their fam
lilies. Their only hope of regaining
their homes, wives and children is
in defeating the Germans. For each
man the battle is a personal strug-
gle with his own future at stake.

Delay in Execution Of Dogs
Suspected Of Rabies Urqed

A protest that many innocent dogs
are reported rabid on "inconclusive
evidence" was made before a joint
meeting of the National Society for
the Humane Regulations of Vivisec-
ton and the Humane Education So
ciety yesterday by James P. Briggs,
president of both groups.
The two societies urged that sus-
pected animals be kept under OBJ
servation for period of time before
decision is made as to whether
they must be killed. 1t also urged
that the Commissioners permit sale
Of dogs from the pound.
Mr.. Briggs contended that be-
cause of wholesale reporting of
rabid dogs" the public is suspicious
of all dogs. More conservatism in
handling the animals would also
help relieve the anxiety of persons
who have been bitten he main
tanned.

The defense exercised two more
challenges after 10-minute recess

This left the defense with five more
challenges for the trial jury.
More Questions for Panel Asked.

for justice Eicher to ask talesmen
additional questions, including
whether they were biased towarc
any one who had raised Semitic
issue publicly and particularly
toward one who was a clergyman
and had been candidate for the
Senate.
Other defense counsel had pre-
pared written lists of questions they
wanted the court to ask, covering a
wide range of subjects OF possible
concern at the trial.
The sedition trial will be dis

District Bar Association at 8 O'Clock

Several plans to ease the burdens

Among the proposals will be the
suggestion that members raise a

go Hours Of Heroisn1 in Battle
|CLinoxed by Santa Maria S Fall

Heitman's Job was q lot tougher
than he made it out.
HE is a helluva man." they
agreed, and then added, "Aint 1t
funny. We were in the building
wrecking business and now we are
wreckin' EN- for Uncle Sam.
That was exactly what the whole
works did yesterday. In addition
to heavy guns, mortars and tank
destroyers blowing this town all over
the landscape and landing occa-
sional shots in nearby Pulcherini,
the Air Force wrecking crew also
Clipped in.
Attacked by Dive-Bombers.
During the assault on Santa Maria
dive -bombers made two runs at
Spigno, q large town 2 miles north
west, from which Jerry's artillery
had been looking down the throats'
of Allied troops. After they laid
their eggs the town was completely
covered by smoke and the Nazis
were unable to fire on the attackers
any more.
Coming hard on the heels of the
capture Of San Cosmo e Damianc
and Castelforte and the village o1
Tame, Just west of Santa Maria
which was taken by the same Amer
ican troops as those moving in fol
the kill here, it was a big day ir
this large-scale italian campaign.
In addition French and American
troops captured several other COM
manding hills in the Aussnti VAL
ley and several hundred prisoners
were taken during all operations
In fact Capt. LIE Sautter, Los An
geles, brought in a half dozen from
Santa Maria by himself with only
a pistol.
The 2-mile walk along a dusty
road into Santa Maria, with mortar
shells still lobbing in from other
high ground still held by the Ger
mans, gives evidence Of the bitter
and bloody struggle waged in this
sector by gallant and tough dough-
boys in their 60-hour drive.
Many tanks, both American and
German, were knocked out by gun
fire and mines. Pillboxes and ma
chine-gun nests have their guns
still mounted and bodies of the de-
tenders and attackers, still in death
are on them. Even after Tame and
Santa Maria were taken Jerry was
throwing stuff along the road from
the next hill in this rocky country
so a new platoon of tanks drove
through and got them.

WITH THE ALLIED ARMY IN
SANTA MARIA INFANTE, May IS.
American artillery yesterday tore
this bloody stumbling block on a
hill apart, piece by piece, and then
American doughboys and tanks
moved in for a showdown with the
Germans after 2 miles of murderous
and desperate battling up the i'm
portant road across lower Ausenti
Valley.
1t was strictly slugging match
against Nazi pillboxes terraced on
both sides of the road and along the
gorge bordering one side, against
mines and machine guns and des-
perately battling defenders.
And when you entered the hump
backed village on a curved hill with
the Yanks every house was mass
of rubble, rocks were spewed along
the street and along the top frag-
ment OF virtually the only wall still
left a solitary gray cat ambled in
the Sunday sun.
1t was 60-hour story, too, loaded
with the heroism of American SOL
diers like Capt. Gilner M. Heitman
who personally shot four Nazis bull
warked in a machine-gun nest, pick
ing them off whenever one stuck
his head out.
Many Hair Raising Episodes.
And it was chock-full of hair
raising episodes like what happened
to Pei. Frank Cimini of North
ampton, Mass, and four of his
mates, who were caught behind the
enemy lines when the initial assault
failed Thursday night, and had to
hide in a foxhole without food,
water or ammunition for two and
one-half days, while hunting Jer-
ries practically stepped on them.
II just stood off there about so
feet, and each time a kraut poked
his head out to lob a grenade, just
let him have it," explained Capt
Heitman, who is a big, easy-going
hotel owner from Fort Myers, Fla,
and he stopped to talk, in a few
minutes time-out from war, of times
when the Philadelphia Athletics
used to do their spring training in
his home.
But couple of New Britain

artillery, but the Allies announced
that more were begged down than
knocked out.
The mineflelds in this area were
not as bad as expected. At one place
the enemy hung BOBBY traps from
branches Of trees overhanging the
road.
New Bridges Built.
Additional bridges have been
thrown across the Rapido River. At
least 80 Nazi guns shelled one bridge.
United States Army Engineers
building new bridges on the lower
Garigliano River despite the shell
ing of the enemy's long g-range guns
used diving suits to descend Is feet
under water to check foundations
of old bridges wrecked by the Ger
mans.
Just as the whole attack was evi-
dence OF Allied cooperation, so was
the spectacular advance of the
French demonstration of the close
unity of the Allied forces. Ameri-
can artillery backed Gen. Juins
onslaught, shelling enemy strong
points, while Raj planes helped
spot their targets.
It was apparent along the front
that the enemy was surprised by
the Allied onslaught and lacked
time to plant mines before deeing. 1
The French had cut the Casino
Formia road In at least two places,
robbing the Germans Of the only
road paralleling the battle front
south Of the Liri River. Behind this
road to the west stands the Arunci
Mountain range, and the only other
road linking the Nazi defenders Of
the Liri Valley with the seacoast end
Of the front is IL miles farther back.
Any Nazi troops remaining be-
tween the French column which
captured Ausonia and the Ameri-
cans closing in on Spigno would ap-
pear to face the choice of fleeing
into the lofty Arunci range, sur
rendering, or being annihilated.
Spigno nestles at the foot Of the
mountains four and half miles
southwest of Ausonia.
The British who crossed the Ra-
pido already are more than halfway
to Pignataro, Nazi stronghold in
the center Of the Iira Valley. The
advance in that direction threatens
to outflank Casinos defenders from
the south, just as the Polish drive
earlier menaced the garrison Of
that bloody landmark from the
northwest.
Despite the announcement Of a
breach in the Gustav Line, the Al
lied command made 1t plain that
swift conquest of any sector could
not be expected. Further progress
in the French sector must depend
on the speed with which ammuni-
ton and other supply lines can be
established through a rugged coun-
try where normal avenues Of COM
munication are wrecked.
No official mention was made of
booty taken, but front line dis
patches told of the Allies seizing
quantities of teller mines.
